He was criminally awful on several occasions yet there's no mention of it. Unfair treatment on Micah imo.
We should use both of them in rotation & we should give Boateng games v the lesser teams as well. Nothing got past him in his last game & I think he'll be a tremendous player once he settles in.

I think Micah has improved this season but of late Zabba looks the more complete player

Who do we play at left back?
Its got to be Zaba, but he's nowhere near as good here. So we are sacrificing zaba's ability at right back because Boateng, Lescott and Bridge are all severely shite at left back.
Richards Boateng Vince Zaba ?
Throwing boateng into the heart of the defence is a bit of a gamble though. . .
EDIT: Shit, I forgot Lescott.

Zab seems to be getting forward a lot more as well which is important with the tactics we use.

Boateng is not shite at left back - he played there for germany in the world cup and on the whole, did very well

What I'm most impressed by in the last month or so is that going forward, he looks a lot more dangerous than before. He always had pretty good delivery but seemed reluctant to go up and whip crosses in- now he's rushing forward regularly and getting into great positions. If we had a proper target man who could score with his head, we'd benefit even more from that.
Micah's also come on leaps and bounds in terms of concentration and closing space, and does look more composed going forward, but Zabs is edging it for me at the moment.
