Bong was picking up either Yarmolenko or Obiang, I can't remember which, but he was picking somebody up. Zabaleta ran from deep, it is absolutely the midfielders man to pick up the runner in that situation. Knocky and March manage to do it. It was a lapse in concentration, hopefully he'll learn from it because there is no doubt in a Hughton team, the wingers have to do that.

Yep, definitely winger's role to pick up Zabaleta in that situation.

Great debut though, exciting to think how he'll improve further as he settles into the Prem

I would say it was Bong having the biggest go at him from my viewpoint in the East Upper. Murray was talking to him for a while but Bong was shouting and pointing. Kayal stepped in to calm the situation down. Ultimately, Jahabakhsh isn't our left back when he's playing on the left wing. Bong wasn't marking anyone else, it's not unreasonable that the winger would pass the runner off to the full back who is, at that time, hiding inside for no apparent reason. It's not the first time it's happened either, I forget if it was United or Tottenham but he left a man who should have been his. That resulted in a goal. He's the left back, it's his job to pick up the runner in that scenario and not expect the winger to hold his hand.
