Thanks crb.
Paul 11/12 - I'm not saying they were MoM performances just in IMO they were his best performances for us (and arguably our best team performances in the league this season, apart form the Rags away).
I'm not being funny guys but, I make a point of watching him constantly for a few mins each game i'm at, just to make sure i'm not being unfair, but he is effing useless, can't run, can tackle but rarely close enough to the ball to do so, never seems to know who he's supposed to be marking, can't read the game, always liable to get his marching orders as he has the habit of tugging when opps breaze past him!!
Thats fair enough Paul. It's all about opinions and we disagree about Garcia.
Here in NZ every City game is televised (I can guarantee that wasn't the case before I moved out here) and I too tend to spend special attention to players who are coming into particular criticism. I'll admit that alot of Garcia's performances have not been up to scratch but I'd also agrue that at the same time the team as a whole has not performed and it's down to the fact that he's played alongside Barry and the tactics are all wrong. The 2 games I've mentioned are the only 2 (I can remember) where Garcia has been allowed to play with players that suit his style and abilities and I do not think it's a coincidence that these were his 2 best games, he was positionally sound, and just like Barry if you have this then you do not need pace. He knew what was required of him and was familiar with it but when they play together everything seems to go to custard for the pair of them.
I also feel Nasri receives alot of unfair criticism whereas certain players are allowed special dispensation - Silva, Aguero, Kompany even Tevez.
Of all our players Kolarov and Dezko are the main 2 who I have a gripe with. Dezko perhaps I'm a little unfair too as our system doesn't suit him at all and he just can't adapt to it.
