Eric Garcia to Barcelona

[Charlesfarsbar]

He reminds me of Nastasic, no personality on the pitch which means you hardly notice he’s playing most of the time

get rid

 

[eastmanc]

exactly!

I was shocked when I saw his name on the team sheet.

Him & Laporte playing a pathetic offside when they could see Walker was not in line, Garcia being the guy who is nearest, to help Walker position for the next phase, 2nd goal, suddenly rushing forward to miss a challenge, leave a fucking big hole & opening up the whole defence, resulting in the goal.

A proper defender wouldn't even have to break sweat to sort both. He's wrong half the time, but someone mentioned 'awareness' so it gets repeated he has it.

Imagine if you are the guys playing next to him ? Where should you be ? Will he stop & put his hand up, charge in, or drop off, then charge in ?

Laporte will be 4th choice if he plays 10 more games with him.

He's a kid, who knows nothing about the job.

thanks for that. Entirely sums up my opinion of him from last night. But fuck me, what was he even doing in the starting 11.

Even if he's brilliant, he shouldn't be playing, as he has no experience & doesn't want to play for City.

What a message to send to the rest of the squad hey Pep? Let's play a CB who doesn't want to remain here ahead of established players. What message does that send out? I wouldn't have even put him on the bench. Get what we can and put it towards the fella from Napoli.

Completely agree

Anything over £15M would be great business. Shows how far Barcelona have fallen in my view; tapping up a frankly pretty average CB. He may grow into the real deal but i really doubt it.

Posted this 8th August - Not changed my mind

I just cannot understand, why anyone rates this kid so highly, he has potential, yes, but he is going to have to learn as a CB as he develops to accomodate his: lack of pace, his inabilty to win headers, his lack of strength, his average distribution but most of all his rank bad decision making.
He has potential but should never be infront of seasoned internationals in such important games, and to top that off he doesn't want to stay at the club. Poor decision Pep, poor very poor

Maybe it’s a sign to stones and ottamendi
Decide to leave and you’ll get a game too
For me l three can fuck off
Pep has fuck all defensive options
It’s either his tactics or wank recruiting
Or both!

 

[Coatigan]

Why was he even considered, he wants to leave.

Because he and pep are professionals and grownups, with a job tl do for this club.

Not arguing it was the right decision, but while he is our player, that decision is there for the making
