I have to agree with his assessment. Despite supposedly being so haxx and powerful and the best overall class, Saber tends to get her ass kicked a lot. At least in FSN she had the excuse that being summoned by accident by Shirou nerfed her stats a little. In Zero she has no excuse.
- Zero-Lancer outmanuvered her despite her superior stats - Zero-Caster nearly defeated her if Lancer hadn't jumped in - Zero-Rider and Gilgamesh mocked her ideals and way of kingship - Zero-Berserker is going to be kicking her ass hard when they have their final battle - Kiritsugu completely disregarded her and even ruined her chances for getting the Grail without explaining why (not to mention how he ruined her final duel with Lancer)

Being Saber is suffering...
Not really. It's true that she is the strongest class overall but she lacks gimmicks, which others have.
-Outmaneuvered? It's just that she didn't expect the spears to have that kind of ability and got taken off guard and lose her left arm, effectively halved her fighting prowess(there really is a lot of difference between holding sword with one and two hands if you have tried it, especially if you're used to use two hands) -The curse. If not for that, we might see an earlier Excalibur. -This has nothing to do with her being strong, it's just her ideals. -Because she didn't want to fight anyway when she know who he is. -Kiritsugu just didn't feel right about her ideals and want to end the war as effectively as possible, it's just his way(poor Lancer). And knowing how the grail works, he pick the right choice.
All she gets is Ignore Play from Kiritsugu. Though maybe she'll have a time with Iris. Though she'll be in such a state by the end of Zero she will need someone to JAM IT IN!

So pitiful, Zero SaberI want to tease her some more
