There’s a whiff of burning martyr about that lot. I for one have nothing personal against Garcia whatsoever and nor do I intend to abuse you. He was however a player with significant shortcomings as a PL defender and quite honestly I’m not disappointed that he’s gone. Automatically discounting that standpoint on the grounds that Pep and the Spanish national team manager like him is your prerogative, but its not a foolproof argument. Professional managers with far more knowledge about the game than you or me have signed Jo, Bony, Charvet and Tal Ben Haim……
I can both accept and appreciate your argument (that is truly well put, thanks).
However, the point I was making, perhaps badly, was that a 19yo footballer, living in a foreign country, was brutally slated by an element of our support - because our manager selected him to play.
It wasn’t fair, it didn’t help, it was pointless bullying abuse aimed at a youngster by heartless idiots. It was the kind of stuff that makes decent people despair at Liverpoo‘s support and it didn’t show our support in a good light.
Just a young lad (probably the current best CB prospect of his generation) and much loved and respected by everyone who has ever worked with him, working hard, doing his best, and morons on here were absolutely slating him . . and it didn’t start until it started to become plain that he wouldn’t take out a further contract.
He was never a billy big bollocks, he kept his head down, worked hard, was respectful to the club and its supporters.
Anyone going online and slating a kid of that age, for things that were absolutely beyond his control was being a bully and it’s not a good look.
