As I have said before, similar was said about Pique - that worked out just fine
People think pace is everything, it's not. Baresi didn't have much pace, but his positional sense and his determination arguably made him the best defender the game has ever seen. Not saying Garcia has that, too early to tell, but he's rated by those in the game who understand those aspects, i trust them. He's perfect for La Liga, to develop his skills further, exactly like what happened with Pique who looked almost useless before then.
 
He could have caught him still but didn't try had enough imo.

KDB went apeshit with him.

Possibly but could have been for leaving him initially. Very much doubt he could have made the ground back up. It’s great that our genius of a manager keeps starting him against the likes of Lyon, Augbameyang and Vardy though.
 
No that didn’t really happen. Garcia gave Vardy a 5 yard start thinking he was playing him offside. Obviously once the ball went wide offside didn’t come into it and Usain Bolt wouldn’t have been able to recover in time. So it wasn’t because he’s slow as fuck it was because he messed up in leaving Vardy in the first place.


You watch from about 58 seconds. Garcia doesnt have a clue where Vardy is. He is caught trying to play offside and then is far too slow to react and once Vardy is in behind him he has no chance of getting across in time. It is very poor from him.

Have they actually shown any evidence whstsoever of particularly 'understanding those aspects' or has their one weakness, at every club, been a lack of understanding of those aspects ?

Totally agree
 
How would he compare to a rodri / fernandinho / Gundo

Not at all the profile of Rodri or 'dinho. Gundo, similar but I would say he's more of an attacking player than defensive minded - he can press well and contribute in attack so he has excelled in counter attacking sides like Celta Vigo & Inter on loan
