Javi Garcia (continued)

[King Geedorah]

Shut the game down as soon as he came on.

Surely has to start at Anfield?

 

[kaz7]

Fast becoming a key member of the squad

 

[mike channon´s windmill]

Been thinking this for ages now surely there´s a case to be made for Garcia/Fern in front of defence and Yaya in attacking three mid with one up top for dippers

Correct.

 

[gungho-tactics]

Been thinking this for ages now surely there´s a case to be made for Garcia/Fern in front of defence and Yaya in attacking three mid with one up top for dippers

That's what we'll probably do, mike.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Been thinking this for ages now surely there´s a case to be made for Garcia/Fern in front of defence and Yaya in attacking three mid with one up top for dippers

I said this earlier in the week.

Absolutely vital we plug that gap in front of our central defenders.

Garcia or Fern are the men to do that imo.

 

[Hungarian blue]

Been thinking this for ages now surely there´s a case to be made for Garcia/Fern in front of defence and Yaya in attacking three mid with one up top for dippers

I think Pellegrini would go with it like this.

Well, I certainly hope so.

 

[BigOscar]

Outstanding today, just calms everything down and stays goal side of attacks and just doesn't give it away. Like all spanish holding players, he's an absolute bastard for a tactical booking as well, cheeky git

 

[citytill1die84]

Been thinking this for ages now surely there´s a case to be made for Garcia/Fern in front of defence and Yaya in attacking three mid with one up top for dippers

That's what I'd do as well mate just hoping Fernandinho didn't get injured.

Trouble with that is silva is playing brilliantly in that position. Put yaya there and we reduce Silvia's influence by sticking him wide. Against Liverpool I don't think we can put silva on the wing.

 

[gungho-tactics]

Everybody is impressed with Matic, they don't know that he learnt a lot from our Javi Garcia. The Serbian couldn't even get into Benfica's first team until we bought Javi Garcia in the summer of 2012.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

He has been a completely different player since Xmas for me. I would start him next week.

 

[citymad]

Really impressed with his attitude. Great second half.

 

[NoahCity]

I'd really like to see him start alongside Fernandinho and Yaya next week. Defensively a solid player and we will need him against Liverpool to shut things down.

 

[FredTilson]

The only changes I'd make vs Liverpool are Garcia in for Navas and Aguero for Dzeko. Allows Yaya to push forward as well.

 

[thenabster]

Garcia is now proving to be a solid player. Yeah I would start him against Liverpool.

 

[bert38]

Looks like he believes in himself. Limited attacking wise but did a great job second half to stop Saints.

 

[Pam]

Garcia has been nothing short of excellent lately. He gives us such solidity. Very composed and very alert. Well done to him.

 

[OB1]

Not sure Kun will be ready to start but, if he truly is, I agree.

Garcia was very good again today.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Absolutely outstanding today. He MUST start against Liverpool.
