He's actually not needed for any game at home, against 90 per cent of Prem opposition, when selecting both Garcia and Barry smacks as overcompensating, defensively.
Would have preferred to have utilised Milner's workrate and drive through the middle and brought Nasri back in.
I think playing them together allows Barry the opportunity and freedom to push further up, while Garcia becomes the holding player.
Agree with your point and bringing Nasri into that role and dropping Barry deeper would be more effective and suits our style of play better, as Garcia has a tendency to slow the play down sometimes.
Milner and Zaba are just the model pro's and a privilege to watch. Great role models for any kids.
