Javi Garcia

[grim up north]

I agree most of them were shit but fans who actually think he is good are easily pleased. He is wank.

People have a go at him whatever. Today he did not give possession away any more than Milner Negredo Et al

But those two give possession away in threatening areas. You sometimes have to give away possession in and around the box as you have to take risks to create shooting opportunities. Garcia gives it away in innocuous situations.

Not really he gave the ball away in the same places as Milner and Negredo today

right i think this is right, last 10 games with Garcia, Championship teams played x2. teams fighting relegation x3. CL teams x3. teams going for CL/title x0
won 7 lost 1 drawn 2. goals for 19, goals against 9
last 10 without Garcia, championship teams played x0, teams fighting relegation x2, CL teams x1, teams going for CL/title x3
won 9 lost 0 drawn 1 goals for 40 goals against 13

And like I said. They were shit too. Especially Milner.

Yes, they are called "Take Ons" by Opta and he has 1 successful and 1 unsuccessful this season

Hahahaha.

Beat me to it............

Sorry mate. ;-)

Proof, if ever required, that stats are horseshit and 2 eyes are much better.

we are a team that thrives on tempo, quick countering and quick slick passing, a player who dwells and passes the ball slowly to our least effective ball players time and time again adds nothing to our team, by the time Garcia has decided to pass the ball to either boyata or lescott the opposition have emptied their flasks waiting for city to move forward.

Garcia may have a role to play in some teams, In ours he is an hindrance who kills our momentum better than any side we face.

I know I should just stay out of this thread but it just kills me that people defend him by saying, "he does his job by sitting in front of back 4 and keeping things simple" - like that is an adequate defence of his limited capabilities.

I could forgive him if he had a passing range and could spray balls around the pitch like a Pirlo or Alonso. The guy is one of the most limited footballers I have ever seen, he's utterly and completely gash.

How many players spray it about like those 2 --------- probably just those two. So you dont expect much then!!

I defend him because he plays for City and over the years ive seen our fans destroy some of our own players

So you're reduced to only defending him on the basis that "he plays for City" now? Not based on any of his capabilities? lol.

No I mainly defend him now to piss you off :))

Yes, Milner was much worse than Garcia today but he escapes much of the shit on here.

That maybe true, but it doesn't make him a bad player.

Squad player in my book, covering central defence or defensive midfield.

i really never understand people who think stats prove anything, i have said it before if a stat can prove Crouch is a better England CF than Shearer that Frank Clark is the 4th best ever Prem league manager and that 1 season John O.Shea was United deadliest striker what can be the point in them, show me 2 years same amount of games played v same level opposition and i might take notice, but when i hear he averaged 1.87 touches per 3.98 mins with only 2.74 take ons in the last 1.56 games i just have to..... well has anyone got the Ed Norton slamming laptop gif ?
