Zaha is massively over-rated for me, and even if he was as good as people think doesn't have the support to show it at CP; not a worry imo.

He is very good, but CP do have limited attacking options shall we say.

However if Sidebe is caught out of position and Zaha gets past him he is adept at drawing a fowl in the box or setting up a midfielder, or opposite full back with a pass.

Coleman is a better defender, and can nullify the threat, to quote one of the mob leaders in Casino "Why take the chance?" we have more than enough attacking options without giving CP an easy 1 on 1.

He can't defend and Zaha will tear him a new one on match day in front of 39000 fans.

Yet he made the most tackles and intercepts for us against Watford. He was probably the most physical against Deeney. I've been critical of him but he is playing well and whips a dangerous ball in.

I agree offensively he is a real asset, but defensively he gets caught out be being too far forward. Zaha has the pace and talent to burn him. Even if the rest of the Palace side are less of a threat.

And involved with both their goals. Completely out of position for the first one and second one he doesn't do enough to get rid of the ball twice, poor header followed up by a piss poor clearance were he just gets a foot on it using his right when he could have easily just smashed it away with his left (if he knew how to use it, disgraceful how one footed he is). He lacks a winning mentality, for the second one both times had he just been more committed he'd have cleared the ball.

When the options are Sidibe who has the pace to recover being out of position (and obviously is a good tackler) and Coleman who is slow as shite (and doesn't seem to know it yet) it's a tough one choice to make. Neither one fills me with confidence against a speedster like Zaha but I'd probably plump for Sidibe. Just.

No way is he at fault for any of their goals.

First one he squares Jerry up well and the pass goes through Walcotts legs. Second he out battles Deeney - who was dominating both our CB the ball ends up as an easy, easy situation for Delph but he completely fucks it’s. There is no blame what so ever on Sidibe.

 

I’ve accidentally given you a green above and I haven’t the heard to change it to a red 😂 don’t bloody push me though mate!

I was hard on him at the start. Though he was awkward, gangly and just didn’t like him.

I still don’t think he is a fluent technical footballer but he is a battler, he’s probably put the most consistent effort ( with Richarlison) in for us, especially through the tough period... and he’s on loan. I don’t go the games but I’ve heard he always goes to the fans and interacts with them. 
 

Ive got not issues with him going up against Zaha what so ever.

Defending needs some polishing... going forward he's very good.

He's far from the biggest problem in the side. 

Digne has been far worse this season.... poor.

Agree on all points.

Not sure what’s going on with Digne - victims of his own success last season. Look forward to him at his best - think iwobi and Bernard will be ideal for him.

His starting position is miles away so Walcott is dragged out of position going to help cover. I'd Sidibe starts from a better position we'd not be put on the back foot and Walcott would be able to track the runner. 

The headers not well won its straight to them in the middle of the park. (Headers not what causes the attack, just highlighting it as an example is him lack of conviction). The second clearance is piss poor and I'd imagine if it was Delph playing that he'd be getting dogs abuse. All Sidibe had to do is put his left through it, school boy stuff just get rid. Going with his right he's been lazy and at this level only getting a foot on it isn't good enough. 

Not to worry, I'll return the favour and cancel it out 🙂

He played one game in the groups after France already qualified. Winning mentality? He played in the only game they never won... 

He's a world cup winner...  got a medal to prove it.  Won ligue 1 with Monaco..... he and Mendy a pair of full backs .....

Not bad for someone who hasn't got a winners mentality

Not the first passenger. How many joke players have premier league medals thanks to the winners united had. Or just look at our very own Fabian Delph.... 

One dead rubber and he has a medal. He only played 90 mins more than any average French fan who turned up and cheered the rest of the lads on.

No one is saying he's Cafu Pete..... but you are certainly having a go at trying to make out that he's not as good as Earl Barrett

You've ignored the winners mentality argument that you initially made. He didn't take part in a single win for them. So how's he got a winners mentality? 

He's no where near premier league level. Earl is before my time. Hibbert, Neville Coleman are all much better. Kenny is better at defending and better at passing/crossing should be giving him a go over the French Luke Chadwick.

2nd most assists of a defender isn’t he?

The team would have more goals if he mixed up his crossing and passing rather than go for the same early whipped ball every time. Any how he's a defender, who's one footed in a tackle and rubbish at positioning. A couple of assists don't make up for stuff you learn at school boy level.

So you’ve made your mind up, no logic or fact will sway your spiralling decent into nonsense. Doesn’t have a winning mentality, but sets up goals. But that doesn’t count because he’s a defender. Laughable, Gana level drivel.
