Yes you have, you asserted he was our best defender along with Mexes. That was the partnership you advocated.
What?! When?
I've always said that Mexes and Alex are our best CBs by far, name one instance where I have said Rami is better than Alex and I'll wire you a £100!
That being said, I prefer Rami over Zapata because of Zapata's on the ball issues. I still think both are just barely okay defenders though

Alex was ok, not brilliant but ok. But Zapata was terrible and he HAS been rotated to hell. He's arguably been the biggest victim.
Every player on this team has suffered because of rotation. You can't dismiss that factor when it's someone you don't particularly like but use it as an excuse when it's someone you want to back.
Rami has suffered through the same start stop treatment as Zapata, just like Poli, Bonaventura, SES, etc

And you can't credit it as neither have you!
I never credited it per se. I have simply said that I
personally think it would be our strongest partnership, while youhave automatically dismissed the possibility of it even working well

Sometimes your pro-Mexes bias is comical.
And your anti-Mexes bias is equally so
I remember you saying he'll be diabolical the first time he started this season, and after he came in after months being ignored and dismissed he put in a very solid performance, and yet you, even now, still barely acknowledge how good he's been this season when he's played
