At the moment i'd say he is playing better than Kolorov, Richards and Boateng are at either side.

He's in form and consistent this season, and deserves to play as much as fixture congestion allows.

No, gives us width at right back which we need.

How often was Micah stood in the centre yesterday allowing them right into the corner, it was driving me crazy because I could see it, Villa could see it, but Micah couldnt. The guy just has no awareness of whats going on around him whatsoever does he?

Zabba is a quality player and in the sanme mould as Kompany and De Jong for me. His work rate and desire are exactly what this team neads, in and amongst some of the over inflated egos.
Off the field he appears a grounded, decent bloke and I think we're very lucky to have such a great player who's still very young.
Has the world gone mad, ..............or is it me?

Zabba can do anything, play anywhere.
Cracking player, totally deserving of all the praise he is getting imo.

I agree. We need the Zabbas of this world to move and motivate the other players around them.

Definitely better at right back than left for me. Although that ball he played for the Villa player to go one on one against Vinnie was quality!

Is one of the most underrated players we have. Who's with me?
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

He got kicked to fuck against Everton and he never moaned to the ref or play acted, he just got on with the job and is a great asset to the team. RB is his best position imo.

He's versatility personified. I sincerely hope that in the medium term he can become what J. Zanetti has been and still is at Internazionale. Just just have to tell him where he has to play and he'll deliver.

Agreed, although I don't see him ever being our captain ;)

Disagree. Who exactly is it that underrates him? Can't see folk on here who do and the manager certainly doesn't.

Maradona did, but he's crazy anyway.

I would say he's our best right back at the moment and does brilliantly when filling in for LB or when in midfield. I think he finds it more difficult getting forward on the left side though and this is something he's really improved on this season when he's on the right.
Defensively he's a man mountain and tough as fuck!
Who would be the toughest though - Nige or Zabba?

I also think that Kolarov is looking good at LB so it's Zabbo and Kolarov for me.
This. Zabs has to be first choice RB at the mo.

Though I'm not too sure many on here underrate him.
