Luis Garcia Q

[marls]

Am I the only one that thinks he gives the ball up too easily? When he was pushed out right and Pennant moved to AMC things opened up and we scored 2. He is too inconsistent for me. Speedy left, Stevie attacking centre, Momo/Xabi holding and Pennant on the right for me. Not 100% against him, maybe play him off the bench.

Anyone else?

Gotta tell you, I;ve been one of Garcia's biggest defenders even got his name on my champs league shirt, but he irritated the **** out of me today. Why he was left on the pitch for so long is beyond me, I know he isn't a left winger and that's fair enough, but if thats the case don't play him there. He's hot and cold at the best of times, putting him there was pointless imo. Would rather have seen gonzo start or Zenden play there.

Garcia off the bench works wonders but he has a tendancy then to just run round like a dog with 2 dicks and kick people if he dont get the ball. One thing for him though, he certainly is a big game player.

Try telling Juventus or Chelski that!
Ok he gives the ball away but he comes up with golden moments as well, watch the road to istanbul dvd for a trip down memory lane

[FowlerLeftFoot]

he gives the ball away so what, its always very high up the pitch when he loses it so there isnt much danger, and the guy always comes with the goods in big games and make big plays. like him very much, go go garcia

I agree with all of the above, but for me it's frustrating. I know he's got some absolute class in him so I wouldn't say get rid of him, but what can you do?

My biggest irritation at the moment is Bellamy's set play:

1. Run/Break early
2. Offside
3. Punch his fist in the air
4. Rattle off random number of expletives at anyone in general

Must've done it about 8 times

[FowlerLeftFoot]

its okay mate, bellamy only get irritated with the officials, he played great, worked really hard and very unselfish, think we should give him more support.

[anfieldanfield]

He was utter ****e today.

Very wasteful. For a change.

[El Diego]

Garcia should always start on the bench for most games he starts he has stinkers.

Yeah, but almost every offside decision against him were WRONG!!

[Rich]

Garcia had a pretty poor game for his high standards - but he still set up Crouchs goal, with an excellent reverse pass.

Quite right.

89 mins of frustration, followed by 1 min of brilliance.

So annoying

[Rich]

Exactly, end of the day, we won and he set up the winner - his job is done!

[andyinswinton]

He was in the wrong position today. He is lost on the left side of midfield. He is much better in the centre as a second striker.

The pass that set up Crouch's goal together with the vital goals that he has scored in recent seasons are what Garcia is about. He is an impact player and maybe better coming off the bench instead of playing out of position from the start.

[Diego]

Yeah, but almost every offside decision against him were WRONG!!

except to mate they were all correct...

and about garcia, he creats chances for him self and others that no-one els could create, he is so unpredictable, thats why he's in the team, for that one magic pass like today...

a while ago i was speaking to an argentinian bloke, and he said that he didn't like english football, do to the fact it limits players creativity, and every time a player tries to get creative and fails he gets shot to the ground, this doesn't happen in south america or south europe, it's like we encourage predictability and disurage unpredictability, every time he does fails every one shoots him down, people don't get behind him if he's having a down periode no the slate him, and when he does something good, it's one in a million, or he got lucky, he not given enough credid for what he does right...

i love little lois and i hope he kicks ass this season...
