To be fair, CB shouldn't really be relied upon to make a lot of passes.

LemonCookies · Sep 29, 2015

Makes some mistakes? Well, when our midfield and attack can't do shit, we'll look at Zapata with evil eyes for not being able to help us keep a draw, :lol:

If we actually played well and with a good lineup, we'd have beaten Genoa 3,4-1, and nobody would remember Zapata's passing ability or Roma's rashness.

I don't quite get it - Meelan finally has some good CB options and people rag and tear them down when we can't get much better :/

Depends on the system. you'll be sold from barca or bayern if you cant pass, same thing for arsenal.

No, he has "bad/error" pass every 2-3 games and its not normal (not to mention about few misplaced passes in every games). He can kick ball to attack, to goalkeeper or outside the pitch but never in the way like with genoa game. Nobody will complain if not good at passing defender play in that way but being experienced and doing that kind of mistakes should eliminate him from milan long time ago.

i have no idea why Zapata always make weird pass, even average defender would pass the ball to GK in that situation

I would say Zapata isn't very intelligent compared to the CB's Italy and Milan are used to seeing.

Notice that I said "a lot of passes". I don't deny that making short passes is one of Zapata's weakest points, but it's also true that Milan's MF makes too many passes back to the CBs and gives them to much responsibility to keep possession, when clearly they're not quite capable of doing it.

It's like giving the keys to your car to a driver you know is bad, and then complaining when s/he gets into an accident.

I'm sure a bunch of you guys will suggest that dropping Zapata is the only choice, but to be fair, the rest of our bench aren't as good.

But he is professional (not random person) playing for good team in good league so he should be long time ago away from here. And i never said mexes is less error prone than zapata or if alex is better since summer.

Zapata and Ely versus Napoli. I dont even know what to expect of it. Dont think we have even kept a clean sheet in 6 games this season.

yagami7gnr · Oct 1, 2015

Nothing new about Zapata. His passing skills have always been atrocious.

Naraku · Oct 1, 2015

Meanwhile the unwanted Paletta has been Atalanta's best Defender. Zapata is Zapata, While Alex has barely played and the less said about Mexes the better.

Just sayin'

Decisions made about defenders are funny for me:
alex (slow), zapata, mexes (both unpredictable about passing or red cards) > rami, paletta?

I saw some of the match on Monday and I was like we are stuck with real idiots in Defence while Atalanta got our best defender from last season there.
Romagnoli + Paletta would be slow but assured.Paletta can organise too.Bad Decision from Galliani.

Becoming more and more frequent these days. I would of thought it a no brainer that Paletta stayed and Alex left. Yes, Paletta + Roma would be slow but a lot sturdier on paper at least and could of worked.

Boban1982 · Oct 4, 2015

Zapata fucks us again. Please do not give him the ball.

AndreiX · Oct 4, 2015

we should put this guy at CAM and tell his that he's playing for the other team

irkuysm · Oct 4, 2015

hehehe what did I said about his amateurish passes? Im gonna stop watching if this guy continue to be our starter for the next matches.

Mexes5 · Oct 4, 2015

Criminal he's even starting

AC_Wesley · Oct 4, 2015

Isnt right-footed, isnt left-footed. Garbage.

Vlad · Oct 4, 2015

Here to laugh at milans misery again, will such behaviour be tolerated in the new era I wonder?

Naraku · Oct 4, 2015

Zapata got to stay while Paletta is at Atalanta and was going well.

Mind you Paletta lasted around 5mins against Fior before his red.

ladro · Oct 5, 2015

Clearly it was lopez fault. He still thinks he's surrounded by actuall football players like at real that managed simple tasks under slight pressure.

mato · Oct 5, 2015

Bad game. One of the worst on the field.

VooDooDoll · Oct 5, 2015

Game just started and first zapata's pass (lets build some confidence)

lopez putting zapata under pressure (0-1)?

Lord Snow · Oct 6, 2015

Sometimes in Football, certain players never learn to pass.

helloAgain · Oct 7, 2015

Football players afraid of ball. :lol:

Moggster · Oct 7, 2015

I'm really sick of tour guide. How can a pro be so bad on the ball?

As much as I like Bacca, having Zapata stay is part of his cost too...
