Summer of '13 so he was 15 when he joined.Best thing about him is if I'm not mistaken he has been here for a few years already think he joined around 13 so he actually played for our academy not just the 18's and eds

Actually alot of the fluidity and movement stopped when Nacho had the ball. I like the kid, but he has to realise that he don't have to make all the crucial stuff, because the ball and the flow just stops with him when he is unable to make a crucial pass or shot. Clearly frustrates the other players aswell.It would be an absolute waste to keep him in the EDS. He's not ready for the first team and he wouldn't get enough game time to warrant a promotion to that level. The club recognise his talent because he's been fastracked up the age groups. If we can get him a loan somewhere that would be ideal, somewhere they focus on technique rather than physicality. The Spanish leagues would be ideal.
If not then the next best place is the EDS, with opportunities given to him in the cups where possible.
I thought Lopes and Barker were very impressive and Nacho obviously worked hard all game as well. It says a lot when all the fluidity and movement is coming from younger players and someone like Navas lets the move down with a typically woeful shot.

Garcia wasn't there to hold the midfield and keep it simple,he was deployed to create and attempt the odd risky pass in order to open their defence,occasionally losing the ball is always going to happen in such a role.To play the devil's advocate: if Fernando would have lost the ball so many times as Garcia today, he'd be bollocked on Bluemoon. Of course, he tried to play risky passes unlike the Brazilian, but in my opinion, he was much better against Roma.
His touch in the first half, which immediately created a goalscoring chance, was totally Silva-esque, though. A wonderfully gifted player, but much to work, quite clearly.
