Injured. I think he is close to return now.
I wasn't going on the basis of this seasons appearances I just think in general hes a bench warmer. Can't remember seeing him at all last season despite being a regular this season.

I believe we were talking about THIS season's awards, not last's. If you'll remember, those had already been handed out.

Zabaleta is a quality player, not spectacular but still a very important part of Man City's team. However I think RVP deserves it tbh as he's won so many points for Man Utd singlehandedly.
One season doesn't change how I label players. Zabaleta to me is known as a bench warmer. A string of 20 premier league games doesn't change that. If you get to be a player of the season for playing every game then maybe the award should start being handed it out to goalkeepers.

Then your knowledge of him is flawed, his appearances dont support your opinion. He's never been a benchwarmer, at worst he's been rotation, split between him and Richards, although he was first choice 2 seasons back, then rotated with Richards last season. Now easily first choice this season
Its hardly a string of 20 games either, ousted Richards from this time last year and has been first choice since.

Surely the definition of 'benchwarmer' is sitting on the bench. If he is getting played everygame he is hardly being a benchwarmer is he. It seems that whatever he does it won't change your 'label'. Maybe you need to watch more football and you might understand better.
I can't remember him playing two full games in a row last season. And I watched City. A lot.
Cheers for the advice pokiuki.
Well he did 4 times, before then becoming a near permanent fixture from mid feb till the end of the season and then obviously all this season.
So Bale is a complete shithouse LB then.

Im amazed at your ignorance of a player that has improved massively, probably the most improved player in the league
add the fact he has been one of the top players this season its amazing how you can miss it.
You're amazed at my opinion on Zabaleta? You obviously don't get out much mate.
I'd reply to Mike but anything thats against his opinion seems to be getting removed.
Justice for Tezzz.

It just foolish, if what you were saying could actually be backed up then you could have point, but he is a regular starter for City, even their captain on occasions this season and has been one of the better defenders in the league
the fact your dismissing him as a bench player is laughable
Both posts were nothing to do with the discussion, grow up.
