Wilfried Zaha should be sent back to Manchester United

After his performance against his former team Crystal Palace, I’m afraid Wilfried Zaha has no future at Cardiff City Football Club.

In fact, his attitude, effort and performance was amongst the worst I’ve ever seen from a Cardiff player for many, many years.

Within the first 10 minutes of the game, the Palace fans started to chant: ‘He wants to come home, he wants to come home, Wilfried Zaha, he wants to come home.’

It was very clever and if the intent was taking Zaha’s mind away from the game they succeed.

That alone should strike fear into David Moyes and Manchester United fans that his head could be turned so easily. They must also worry that they have spent £15 million on a flop.

This was followed by a chant from the home fans of ‘do the Ayatollah Zaha’. They did it twice, and both times it was ignored.

There is a lot of reasons why we ask players and staff to do the Ayatollah, in this case it was to simply say to Zaha you are one of us and show us you are 100 per cent behind saving the club from relegation.

It’s up to an individual if he wants to do the Ayatollah, his lack of response, and by all reports applauding the Palace fans should have been an indication of how his game was going to go.

For the rest of the game, he was jogging around, completely uninterested, looked sulky. He wouldn’t even make make an obvious run that any Premier League player could spot. It was a shambles.

Whenever he would got the ball, he would try to show off the ‘Zaha brand.’ Doing step-overs and faints that weren’t getting him anywhere or past anyone.

Refusing to pass the ball to someone in a better position. I can’t begin to describe how pathetic the performance was.

It was no wonder that in the end his team mates didn’t pass to him.

I would never usually condone a player being booed off the pitch, but Zaha deserved it. I know Craig Bellamy will probably rip into me for saying that, but I don’t care, it was the worst performance by a City player, in the worst team performance I’ve seen in a long time.

As he walked down the tunnel in a sulk, he apparently ripped off the Cardiff shirt. That’s fine. On Monday morning send him back to Manchester United where he can sulk. I never want to see him in a Cardiff shirt again.

He has all the talent in the world, and when he joined us, I was saying this man will keep us up. I hate being so negative about one of our own, but yesterday he proved the reasons David Moyes didn’t use were justified.

Good luck United fans!

Im afraid the last years success has gone to his head, winning promotion, getting signed by manure. Farmed out to learn a bit but I think his balls have got too big too soon. Touch of the bothroyd after the england cap. Showed contempt for the city fans saturday. Send him packing I would.

The guys an absolute c**t simple as.

Never ever liked the overrated diving c**t, that has never changed. Can't wait for him to leave and go back to being a little diving bitch somewhere else. c**t.

He is already stating in the beginning of the writing that the circumstances got to Zaha, still he keeps painting out in details how terrible he was in all possible parts of the game, and stamp him as a failure - without excusing the 21 years old a bit for breaking under pressure. I don´t know. I wonder if Zaha has ever felt welcome in Cardiff.

I had reservations about city taking him on loan and they were proved correct, waste of space

Of course it's all Zaha' s fault that Cardiff is the laughing stock of football. Do the Ayatollah?? Your failure of a manager has been running around tapping his head since january, and look how popular he is. Against Palace it was obvious from the start that Solskjær were clueless against Pulis and his tactics, and you lot are blaming Zaha? Outwitted on the field, outsung by the Palacefans and now trying to put the responsibility on a player. What a pathetic bunch

Id say bothroyd was a better player then zaha hanss down. Zaha will never get in the palace side now. Best he can do is chapionship imo. Good enough for the prick.

agree no point in him being here send him back waste of money

None of your points have any relevance to this thread. We are not blaming everything on Zaha, simply saying that he was a disgrace by his attitude on saturday. Cardiff paid his loan fee and are paying his wages and the fans, by asking him to do the Ayatollah, were asking him to show his commitment to the cause. As for being outsang....well let's be honest we were behind for most of the game and most of us could see we were not going to win the game, which in turn meant likely relegation whereas you were leading for most of the game and buoyed by your great win over Chelsea naturally you were upbeat hence your loud support. I guarantee that if you were in our shoes and we in yours we would have been the loud ones and you would have been much, much quieter. Not exactly rocket science but thanks for your contribution anyway.

Fair play to you Moonboots

I wish players who go out on loan have the attitude that Leon Barnett had.

Okay he had no choice in reality because he couldn't get into the Norwich squad but he came here, appreciated the chance, kind of embraced the club and supporters due to the scenes he took part in last season and some people met him after games said he was a really nice guy and really enjoyed it here.

Id send him back now

Great post........Leon Barnett.....true pro.

Not just the performances but just how involved he was in the scenes at the end. Sure he had a close mate on Twitter who said Barnett spoke highly of the club.

In terms of a loan signing, he's one that City fan's will remember.

should of bought him better than what we have at the moment

I was happy for us to go in for him for the price we could of got him for.

I am excited by Juan Cala who is only 24 and looks promising.

He's costing £1.5 million plus £80 grand a week so his football commitment should be automatic but idiots on here wanting him to run around tapping his head shows howbpathetoc some people are.
Give me a player who can play not some srse licker who runs around tapping his head like a clown just to please the crowd

Its not about him not doing the - he just had no interest in playing well against palace and his influence on the pitch made us look like we had 10 men not 11

He needs to remember that although he has a big connection with palace, he is a Cardiff city player, we are paying his wages and he should be a professional and give 100%

He should never play in a Cardiff shirt again - regardless of how good he is/isnt

THIS In 41 years of watching the city, I have never seen a player look so disinterested. He was running around avoiding the ball whenever he could, and when he did get the ball you could see the last thing he wanted to do was create an attacking movement for Cardiff. No surprise our players stopped passing to him !

I suppose Ole thought that playing against his old team he would have a point to prove - unfortunately he took the respect for a previous team thing to a whole new level, by refusing to play against them even though he was selected. Ole should have hauled him off after 20 minutes, and I'm amazed he started the second half.

It's a real shame as the kid has obvious talent, but hasn't shown it here or in Manchester. I hope for his sake he knuckles down wherever he finds himself next season, because if he doesn't he runs the risk of not fulfilling the huge potential he obviously has.

Spot on. I would be devastated if he ever casts his shadow over our bench let alone our pitch. It's always a gamble with loan players I suppose. Barnett was great and I wished we had signed him. O,Neil and Eddie Newton were other stand outs but sometimes there is a reason their loaned out in the first place and by the look of it this boys attitude could be it.

100% agreed

Was only saying this last night to the family about Barnett. He was a great asset to us, pity he did not get a winners medal.

Whereas Zaha, did everything he could to get tackled, dealy a pass - so much so that JM was having a right go at him. OGS should fine him and donate it to the charity that was being supported at the game

Juan Cala will not be a Cardiff player next season so don't get too excited.

Zaha was the only player who threathened Palace on saturday. You lot obviously don't know shit about football. Who else on your excuse for a team did anything to get a cross in? To see that you make him a scapegoat is fine, as you all demonstrate that you belong in the championship. So, if I understand you right, all would be fine if he were tapping his head when he went off?? How utterly childish is that? Now you're stuck With a manager who, the day before a vital match, tells the world that Zaha have to celebrate if he scores against the Club he loves. How stupid is that? Ledley scored, and behaved himself as he has a lot to thank Cardiff Fc for. Of course he did. Solskjær is plain stupid.
Solskjær taps his head a lot, fine.Zaha didn't, and you get on his back. get a life!

I don't know what will happen to Zaha's career..I honestly don't think Pulis will want him. Palace fans seem to think he's only interested in playing for them but i don't think that's an option. He didn't give a toss about us on Saturday-that was clear

I thought itsas apost about why we should send Kenwynne Jones packing! We need to try to keep Zaha as one of our few players with Prem league claa!

Were you actually at the game ? If so maybe a trip to Specsavers is in order. Zaha was not a threat to anything apart from the blood pressure of Cardiff fans. I'm sure many of us would be happy to drive him back to his home in Manchester after that sorry "performance".
Don Rogers was a great player on his day - I saw him play several times. He was skillful and committed. Zaha is skillful ....................................................................................

I do agree with you totally, i was in the Canton stand when he twice refused the ayatollah but i do have a question? The kid has raw talent, but loses the ball very very easily, hes obviously good for one thing, up top scoring goals (perhaps) So why not play him with Campbell up top. not on wing or anywhere near midfield so when he loses the ball we concede. Hes a forward in making for me. and he will score goals at Palace next yr its obvious! The guy is a grade 1 Tw@t but the manager could have got more from him in other positions IMO - if you dont agree ask Peter Odinwingie how hes doing st stoke right now?

WINGER OR FORWARD (hes still a c*nt!)
