Garcia and Kolarov....

What sites do you use for these stats LC, cheers :)

WhoScored.com is my preferred, ESPN has a good stats range too. And Opta of course but have to pay for those.

I am sorry but all this slating of Garcia is quite frankly embarrassing.
Every new player needs time to settle both as a person and a player.

I defended him last year because we hadn't seem much of him.

After seeing nearly a full season of him, he's just too slow. You can't fix slow. Nothing he shows us will ever make up for his lack of pace and passing ability. Relegation caliber players were running and passing circles around him.

Meanwhile Moussa Sissoko, who has 10x more football ability, cost 10% what Garcia cost.

thats an interesting comparison - Sissoko displays a lot of dash and mobility. These are the type of qualities that we should have looked for (sorry Javi) over summer.

for whatever reason when they both play they upset the dynamics of the team, everything seems slowed down. Clichy to my mind is very underrated, time and time again he will pinch the ball while the opposition are mounting an attack and drive forward quickly, he suits city's tempo far more, his intensity is far greater than kolorovs.

Both are dog shit and played worse than dog shit last night....nothing more need be said

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

The team was poor last night but these 2 were utter tripe.

Have you noticed when kolarov starts we are fucking shite..everton..wigan...

Both not good enough for where we want to be..i have seen milk turn quicker than garcia!!

 

[stavros]

Both players are not good enough in my opinion.

Garcia just isn't mobile enough to play in a title challenging central midfield.

If he could spray passes and creatd he would may be get away with it , but he can't . Sideways merchant. Poor player.

As for Kolarov, jesus fucking wept , the sooner he leaves the better.

Get a young, quick, enthusiastic, and less brain dead back up for clichy

You've got to be taking the piss?

He was beyond woeful. So slow it's ridiculous. At times Wigan players just strolled past him without even having to accelerate.

He is shite, end of.

This is the only thing that ever needs to be said he is a one paced, one dimensional bag of utter dross sorry got to be said and though I totally appreciate fellow blues who give their utmost almost blind support to players, we've all done it , this player cannot and will not take us to the next level .

does the spanish national team boss also give garcia his "blind support"

No that's why he has played 22 mins and earned 1 cap for them which was before he signed for us. David Nugent and Michael Ricketts played for England, it tells you nothing.

IMO , Garcia never looks interested at all. His lack of pace and enthusiasm/work rate when he does play are shocking for a player who we paid £15M for. We need someone with the work rate of Tevez and the ferocity of YAYA.

Agree about Kolorov, disagree about Garcia

Correct, I can't believe how poor Kolorov has become. A top top player when arrived and I was ecstatic to get a left back at last. That injury at spurs must have done more harm than we think. Shame.

Garcia has promise, not that we should be buying promise at this start of the project. We should be buying established successful players at the top of their game. At least till another title or two and even a CL final/win under our belt.
