I remember how fucked off I was when we sold Charlie to the spuds and brought him in

Is he City's best right-back?

He had a great game today he always gives 100%, have to say maicon was great when he came on, gave us another dimension.

Have to agree. I love the adopted Manc.

I think Clichy is one of the best left backs in Europe.

He's better positionally than Micah - he's pretty close to him in his attacking play too, but Micah is better in the air, faster, and has a better shot on him - I'd say Zabs in the better crosser of the two. On balance it's pretty close between them.

Close second to Micah

There is a Rizla between Micah and Zabs.

Were lucky and when both are fit what a headache for the manager.

Fucking sicknote. Zaba has been our beat right back this season. Our best defender this season FULL STOP.

City do enjoy the two best right backs in the world. gorgeous option.

Agree. Defends for two most of the time, covers several arses on a regular basis, tireless, drives the ball forward with purpose & pace even late in the game, hardly puts a foot wrong. MotM today for me.

A fantastic sicknote at that.I'm not taking anything from Zabba he has been our best this season but Micah was a beast last season.

Thought he was shite v Ajax.

I'd whack Zaba in defensive mid at some points too throughout the season.

Upped very much his game on the 2nd. credit to him.
on first half, he had, at least, a nightmare on par with the bollox dropped at conceding the second goal to Ajax.
watch the record of the game and You will notice, if You lost it live.

I don't remember the second Ajax goal being his fault at all. Nightmare? What have Spurs created in the first half? Looked like fuck all to me.

today's was even worser. i respect Your opinion though. it's worth as mine.

edited. the word nightmare was referred to the defensive performance of Gael in the first half, particularly that single action that I can even properly describe. not to what the Yids did create = fuk all, agrred.
I used to hype him last season, this season I continue to see idiocies after idiocies, lapses on basic defending, chapter 1 page 1.
I do not intend to slag him, at all. I am just puzzled. when You see a top defender who forget to make his body counts when positioned in better place that the opponent striker, You should rise some question. Imvho I saw it happens several time and I am lost because i rate gael clichy very much. Just an opinion, tho.

Agreed, he has the ability to rival most but the attitude to beat all.

There is a reason that zaba was the rb who won both the FA cup and the league. I want to be sentimental and upset about Richards but we have to play our best 11 and unfortunately for him Zaba is more intelligent and has better positioning.

Only just said to my to lads that Zab had a great game and he would be my first name on the team sheet. He has seen off all the big gins to remian a regular, well done Kid.

Obviously Kyle Walker is better. And if Duncan Edwards was fit, he'd be better as well.

Not that I'd personally swap Zabba for anyone in the Premier League
