Pablo Zabaleta has never been known for pulling punches and following the victory over Manchester United he made sure one hell of a message was sent to Old Trafford.
The veteran right back has taken aim, pulled back the trigger and fired a deadly bullet at Jose Mourinho’s mob dubbing them easy meat for the Irons at the weekend.
Having been a City stalwart for so long probably has a lot to do with the onslaught he has chosen to launch on the Reds after the Hammers humbled and then humiliated them.
Appearing as a pundit on BT Sport for the Hoffenheim v Man City clash he stuck the boot into United as heavily as any player has ever managed.
His comments on the team were incredible in their bluntness and after playing a part in the Hammers win he refused to take any prisoners.
He said: “You don’t expect the game to be that easy. I didn’t see any desire, passion, determination from Man United players. It’s sad to see really.”
I wouldn’t say too much Zaba , fans have been accusing West Ham of that very same thing for ages now whilst you were playing for them . The form we are in right now is a very recent thing . It’s easy to get bitten if you’re not careful . Best to keep up the good work you are doing and stay shtum.
