Aleix Garcia - 2016/17 Performances

[Bootador]

Tired and got worse as the game progressed, but very good all same.

 

[abu13]

Did well tonight. Needs to be given minutes when we can.

 

[deano ou812]

Another player who has shown if given the chance can step up,bossed the first half but faded badly second half,but will come on leaps and bounds for this..

 

[bert38]

Brilliant tonight: touch, balance, vision, passing range. Just needs to get fitter and stronger which will come as he develops physically.

 

[TonyM]

Better player than Gundogan imo. Should be a first 11 player.

He isn't yet-doesn't cover enough ground-the pitch still looks massive to him. Given time though and he will be a top class player.

 

[Kompany is King]

Played well.

 

[domalino]

Looked neat and tidy but was a fundamental reason we created so little. Cannot remember one significant pass between the lines and second half he was continually demanding the ball to go square, then back and then start the process again.

Still he does look comfortable on the ball, hopefully with confidence it can be used more positively.

Sorry but that's crap.

Navas absolutely dominated luke shaw tonight and produced 3 or 4 fantastic crosses we should have scored from - the reason he did that is because Garcia consistently delivered great, early passes for him to run onto at pace.

The reason we created nothing is because we played basically 442 against 433 and they always had numbers in midfield. Garcia was asked to the job of several players because Fernando wasn't helping in attack and Nolito was far too high up to help in midfield. The only real options he had to start attacks was to spread play to the wings to create opportunities and space which he did very well with Navas and couldn't do with Sané because he was having a poor game.

Calling him "the fundamental reason we created so little" is absolutely laughable.

Very good first half from Garcia but the wrong style of midfield performance when we were chasing the game. United's tighter marking second half reduced his passing game to going backwards and sideways.
