Because of the debate on here, I kept an eye on him today, more so than usual.
He is criticised for not being able to pass, but there was one exquisite pass to Silva right at the beginning of the second half. There were a lot of other good things from Javi today, but as he's obviously the latest boo-boy, his critics will never admit this.
likewise. I thought he played well today against a well organised Liverpool team

Sorry but 'pass completion' says nothing about a players influence on a game. We all know that most of his passes were sideways or backwards. His slowness is a real problem in a midfield containing Barry. Out of the two, Id have Barry.
No, but it does pull the rug out from under the feet of those claiming he kept giving the ball away. And just what kind of passes do you expect a defensive midfielder to contribute? I don't recall De Jong pulling up any trees in the Glenn Hoddle 70 yard pearler stakes either.......

Although today, Garcia made more interceptions, tackles and blocks than Barry.

Today and a good 75% of my posts no. But I can be when it warrants being positive

No Garcia playing shit makes him shit. Keep up.

It doesn't make us shit but when you have him and Barry in the same midfield and yet make Henderson look unplayable. That sums it up

How bizarre that you think it's that simple and you haven't mentioned him being useless today.
