Eric Garcia - 2019/20 Performances

[Andrew___K]

He's also taller than Carles Puyol (1.78m), who was the bedrock of Pep's Barca defence.

...and had a phenomenal leap, like Cannavaro and Baresi

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

I’m not sure about his height. He looked a good 3-4cm shorter than Bravo during the minutes silence and Bravo is only 183cm himself. I’d say he’s about 180cm at most.

Seen two sources which say he is 1.82 and 1.83 m high which equates to 5ft 11 and 6ft and he is only 18 (19 in January so could possibly eke out another inch)

And he was a master of the dark arts.

Much faster too.

1.82 m rounds to 6 ft, with the given precision, but 1.83 m is of course a better approximation. One cm more or less doesn't really matter (unless there's a VAR review). The world would be a better place if we all used SI-units.

I have a good news for all those whom are concerned about his height, guess what !

He is taller than Fabio Cannavaro

He's taller than Baresi as well

 

[mccity]

So now we've established the teenaged Garcia isn't quite as good as prime Cannavaro, prime Puyol, or prime Baresi.

Moving on.

Things you can prove by posting pictures on the internet:-

1, The earth is flat
2, Eric Garcia is 6ft.

 

[Fame Monster]

For all the hype I've seen about him, I've seen nothing to justify it.

Doesn't seem particularly fast, strong, good in the air and failed to do the basics of defending for the short time he was on tonight.

I hope he proves me wrong and it goes without saying that he needs more time but I can't see him ever breaking into this or any other Premier League team.

He’s a good passer and reads the game well, but he has a lot to learn if he’s going to become a regular here. I’ve said it before, but Harwood-Bellis is a better prospect.

Thankless task for him tonight.

He was the only City player who had a decent performance. Not perfect, but had some good passes, blocks and won a couple aerial duels

Pep is his only chance, he needs to nail down a place under the current manager. I expect other managers will look at him and while appreciating his technique, they will want someone a little more aggressive etc. Not knocking the lad but his attributes have him fighting against years of history of what a CB in England should be.

He's better than Otamendi

 

[Damanino]

Way too early to write him off but imo too much hype on him. Do you remember Karim Rekik? Some people here said Kompany-Rekik partnership is the future or was it Rekik-Nastasic?:D
And Denis Suarez will be the one replacing David Silva.

Thats exactly what I feel now with this Garcia kid.

A talented young defender, but he has to be played to find out whats he really worth. Highly doubt he a future top class CB and more probably he will be somewhere at Sevilla, Socieded in 3-4 years which is a decent career still.

With the PL gone, we can give some more chances to Garcia apart from Port Vale in FA Cup etc. Wonder if Pep would have the balls to play him vs United in Carabao.

 

[Segga]

I thought he played quite well in a difficult game. Passed his way out of some tight spaces quite well and doesn’t panic with the press.

 

[red 2 hats]

He's better than Otamendi

So am I

Spot on. I don't want to finish his career but I don't understand the hype around him. He is very short and physically too weak to be a CB ,I have never seen one great performance from him.I do not get it

I assume you mean playing for the EDS?

 

[bobom]

Christ, people are quick to judge.

Memo to self: never come on here after we lose.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Shouldn't have been brought on in the first place. Throwing an extra centreback on just piled on the pressure for an entire half and that was always going to end badly with what we have there.

What he should be doing, however, is starting in place of that chihuahua Otamendi.
