Han is making Zapata worse than Acerbi. I guess now that Muntari is gone he has to pick someone else to constantly whine about.

Nah, I actually couldn't stand Muntari.

Like I said, I'm okay with Zapata or Romagnoli, but Alex should be playing instead of either one of them.

Zapata has issues, it's not that I don't like him, he just gives me an ulcer constantly worrying about when he'll pass straight at the opposition.

Also, who do you think was at fault for Saponara's goal last Saturday? Because for me that was Zapata all the way

How was it Zapata's fault? He was right on his man, but Maccarone did a fantastic thing with that back-heel pass. If anyone was at fault there, it was the person who should have been marking Saponara. De Jong and especially Bertolacci let him run freely.

I guess Zapata would feel more at ease with a more central figure like Alex or Mexes next to him. But Romagnoli is going to play, and between the four remaining CBs we have, Zapata is the one I trust the most, since Mexes has been injured all this time.

Zapata looked like a fool on that, De Jong did what he could there given the circumstances. Zapata also completely miss-timed his movement when the defence tried to play the offside trap at one point which could have resulted in the 2-2 for Empoli.

Like I said, I just don't trust him when he's given the leadership role in defence (aside from the fact that he's a terrible passer), which he will get by default when next to Romagnoli. And I know I've said that Alex looked a step behind in the other thread, but I'd trust him more next to Romagnoli or Zapata (but we all know Romagn will play so that would mean an Alex-Romagnoli duo would be my pick)

I just feel like a Romagnoli Zapata pairing will get absolutely trashed by Jovetic and Co.

How did he look like a fool??? He was marking his man! Like I said, Maccarone did an amazing trick. Anyone, even Nesta or Thiago could have fallen for that. But Bertolacci was just walking when Saponara was running inside the box, and De Jong reacted late.

And what the hell does the leadership role have anything to do here? Did Zapata bunk the offside trap because of that? I wouldn't trust two slow and static CBs like Mexes and Alex together, but two fast and mobile ones like Zapata and Romagnoli is more than fine. They might not complement each other perfectly, but it's the best we can afford, and you're not gonna convince me otherwise.
