These West Ham fans slated Pablo Zabaleta after the 35-year-old had a poor performance against Leicester City.
Pablo Zabaleta finished the match against Leicester City with a WhoScored rating of 5.6/10, which could have been worse considering his side lost 4-1.
The 35-year-old is averaging a WhoScored rating of 6.44/10, which isn’t great anyway so these Hammers fans, perhaps, shouldn’t be too surprised with his latest poor showing on Wednesday night.
Here are some of the comments from the West Ham fans on Twitter:
How is Zabaleta still a football bloke is dreadful

Zabaleta’s finished
— Matt (@rnattF) January 22, 2020
Zabaleta’s lack of pace is beyond a joke. It’s like something out of a comedy sketch.

Is Pablo Zabaleta finished?
Yes, he should retire now!
No, he's still great!
These West Ham fans clearly weren’t pleased with what they saw from Pablo Zabaleta, with one fan even saying that the 35-year-old is finished.
That’s the moment Zabaleta does the Neville and realises he’s done.

What Do We Think?
Being 35-years-old, Pablo Zabaleta surely can’t have many years left in him anyway, so it’s pretty surprising that the Argentine is continuing to play for a Premier League club like West Ham. It is clear a number of the fans don’t think he is up to scratch anymore and it can only be a matter of time before he is replaced.
