With neither Winston Reid or Mark Noble available for the match at Manchester City, Pablo Zabaleta was called on to wear the captain’s armband. Today we ask: Should the Argentine become the new skipper on a permanent basis?

Zaba 5 years ago for sure. Zaba now, no way. Not good enough and could easily be struggling to get in the team soon like Nobes is now.
Noble is still the club captain, so Zaba is the team captain while Noble is not in the side. Zaba is a captain anyway, so he does not need to be burdened with the role of club captain. The next club captain needs to have some shelf life in him.
Agree a true leader didn’t need a ban or title.
And Noble does a lot of the pitch I think it would be wrong to strip him of it mid season.
Zab will be the captain if Noble isnt on (wonder if that skips Reid too)
But either way he will lead with or without band.
Changing it mid season could do more harm then good
