Agreed.You can only play the team put in front of you and I thought he played very well. Considering the reshuffling of the back 4 yet again I thought defensively we were better than I expected. Now to put the Russians in their place in Moscow and Stamford Bridge!

Me and the lad watched the game on tv and we both said that was by far the best game Garcia has played for us.Not a lover of him in any way,shape or form,but credit where credits due.Well played today.

He didn't make any major mistake but he did step off his man that contributed to their goal.
He gets attracted to the ball way too easily, playing like a midfielder at CB. He just cannot play CB, he is not a CB. He leaves his man and leaves a big gap in our defence.

For a possession team he isn't wrong.

Pellers probably played Garcia rather than Lescott because he didn't want two left footers.
Or maybe he's saving JoLo got Moscow.
What odds on Kompany-Demichelis for Moscow...?

No, not better than Lescott, he feels like Mancini did that Lescott/Nasty partnership too leftsided! i think Pell/Mancini were right! Do U think if Vinnie fit and nasty injured Garcia would've played tonight?

LONG!
I'd say Garcia/Nasty again unless Komps can make it. I don't see DeMichelis getting his debut in such an important game.
As you say, the 2 lefties together don't fit well.

Everybody is all too eager to shit on him when he does something wrong but credit where it's due today he had a very solid game. Can be hard when not playing directly against a marker and instead have to be more positionally aware of your surroundings at all times and i thought he did it well today, made one excellent sliding block from a very dangerous cross that looked like it was about to be tapped in if he didn't get there and could so easily have put it into his own net.
Still get scared shitless when it's down to him to make a challenge but he's trying and getting marginally better each time. End of the day he's not a centre half and we can't blame him too much for not being very good there. It's like putting Navas at right back and expecting him to perform like Zab last season.
