GraphicWave 7 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I remember his last game against PSG back in St Ettiene when he was playing at right back. He was ripped badly by Cavani in that day. Don't know if that has any meaning now but for this game only I'd forgive Jose if he'd put Zouma out and play Cahill. I just can't clear the picture of that Zouma's struggles when he faced Paris the last time. That was some time ago. He matured since then, especially in the last couple of months with us. And as Special Juan said, he won't look out of place if put alongside Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supporter 3,088 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 In the eleven matches we have left to finish the season Zouma has to be be in our starting eleven in these eleven matches.We have a small margin of error on our rating in Premier League and now is the time to bet on the future and Zouma is our future.Zouma has to be indisputable from now. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFC888 219 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Kurt has not lost his place. He is still recovering from knocks sustained in the West Ham game. Jose said they were quite bad and he would need to be managed carefully in the immediate future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyikolajevics 2,698 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Perhaps so but if that was really the case, then he would have played Zouma much earlier already and I don't mean just in the League Cup and/or Champions League matches. Cahill's mistakes already happened long before that game at White Hart Lane and if I remember correctly, Zouma only played the second half against Spurs at the Bridge because Cahill picked up a knock to his head in the first period.He is very young man, he probably needed a little time to adapt. Also, he is not a world class player nor a big money buy, there was no reason to make him a starter immediately. This is a process. Zouma is becoming stronger and better, hopefully he'll be a regular in a year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 France has replaced Spain,germany and belgium's status respectively as the country with the biggest talent pool in europe/world. It should be illegal the wealth talents/top class players at the french NT's disposal. killer1257, iseah100 and Ainsley Harriott 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Zouma got his first cap for France today. Came on for the last eight minutes against Denmark. France won 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he got some minutes in which he showed his worth. I do expect him to be a coming man. [emoji7] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cahill and Terry played crazy amount of matches in December, they obviously got tired. Zouma played five full games in January: three alongside JT and two with Cahill. I think it was because those two needed an easy January, not because we had one bad game against Spurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
