He's absolutely shocking, how he's still here is beyond me

Should have been the first out the door in the beginning of transfer window.

Must be nobody wants him.

Naw, he's just a quality defender that the coach trusts.

Try to stay ban-free now sir. :D


Zapata made a mistake for the goal, but he was otherwise very good tonight.

In terms of defensive duties and positioning, Zapata is good. But his passing is so horrendous everytime he touches the ball we are in danger.

I guess our team has two Zapata's :lol: ... because one of them had a bad positioning in the second half when Pucciarelli couldn't coordinate to hit the ball properly from a great position inside the penalty area. At the time we were still 1-1, but I guess if no harm was done than Zapata had a great game :thumbsup:

sometimes
If Zapata keeps the ball for more than 3 seconds, I start to worry

everytime i watch zapata play (mostly) he seems like a good defender...then suddenly he fucks everything up and does something stupid. Flawless yesterday. Hope he can continue.

But good at defending. Definite starter for me.

I wouldn't go as far as good but probably better than what we have on the bench. In the modern game you need defenders who are good on the ball and he is pub team level at times.

Good game, none of our cb is as fast as him, great attribute to have thats why he could complete Romagnoli

Good defender but he is absolutely terrible on the ball. Try not to put him under pressure because he will falter at some point.

He basically gives what Romagnoli need for cover, a fast and aggressive CB.

Miha has still a lot of work to do with this defense anyway
