Eric Garcia - 2019/20 Performances

[Delphinho]

He’s 19 and it’s his first season with professional football. We need to be patient and give him time. He won’t turn world class overnight after playing against shite with legs on EDS level. Has been way better than Stones and Otamendi this season. Does need to put on some muscle though.

I find it a little weird that Pep hasn’t given any chances to THB, who’s much more physical and also quicker. Even though I rate Garcia highly, I think THB has the bigger potential

Can't blame him for the second goal tonight. Walker fails to make a proper tackle and Mendy plays him onside as he is in fucking no-mans land.

It was out other £50m+ defenders we can look to tonight. Generally terrible performance from the midfield with no protection for the back four.

Didn't do much wrong for me, let down by Walker and Mendy for the second goal.

So in order to be a world class centre back you have to be tall and quick, built like a boxer?

cannavaro wasn’t tall, Maldini wasn’t built to muscle players off the ball. What can separate Garcia is the way he reads the game

Will you guys keep mentioning Cannavaro every time we talk about his height? That's my opinion and you know what? If he was playing for United for example people would speak here completely differently about him. It's just hard for you to admit that your expectations of him are unrealistic. If he is so good and has a bright future, why would the vast majority of the people here in the forum want Koulibaly or another senior CB and not give Garcia the keys as a starter and brin squad players to replace Ota and stones?. I wish I'm wrong about him

He was ball watching rather than looking for runners

I won’t be blaming the kid, when he has 3 other experienced defenders next to him and he was no worse than any of them.

What I will say is, he has no chance of being considered top class in a side that defends like this current City team. He needs to be playing in Peps Barca/Bayern sides, or the City 17/18 side, where it was total domination and very little defending to do. He can’t look good in a side like this, where the next defensive fuck up is never far away. He simply doesn’t have the right attributes for a team that can’t defend, he will stand out like a sore thumb.

 

[ID70]

Not the answer for me. With the high line we play we need someone who is quick and aggressive and he’s neither

Spot on.

The ball in behind to fast forwards is a worry also with our high line.

 

[Chappie]

Unless he finds a yard of pace he wont be making it at the highest level

 

[Jag]

Definitely not the answer unless he grows 3 inches and gets faster. I would have rather had John Stones out there.
