A measure of the quality of Garcia is that if we are trailing 1-0 with half an hour to go tonight and the camera pans over to the bench, who would you like to see come on (this is assuming Luis doesn't start)? If he is sub, and he does come on with half an hour to go even his harsher critics would not bet against him getting at least one chance to score before the final whistle. He may not score of course, but he WILL get a chance to score.
Why? it's all in the movement mate and the speed of thought. Next time Luis scores a goal watch it on the replay. I absolutely guarantee you that when he starts his movement everybody else stood within fifteen yards of him is stood stock still. It's a gift and it's why Garcia will always, always score goals.
I have to ask the question again with Garcia. If he played for Real Valladoid, had scored 13 goals last season from the right wing when he is left footed, had started this season with more goals and had broken into the Spanish national squad, would we want to buy him. Seriously guys, we have an absolute match-winner in our midst and we are choosing to focus on his weaknesses rather than his strengths. Honestly, some fells go on about Jari Littmanen and the like, this lad is twice the player Jari was by the time he came to Anfield. All IMHO of course.

well said BigMick, you've hit the nail on the head there. We all know that he can "occasionally" lose the ball, but he also gets us goals - which is something that his teammates are sadly lacking.

he proved in several occassions, im sure he will improve with not losing the ball to often.

Nice one G.

As i've said, play him in the hole and he'll be a beast!

[Judge]

aye wrighty, as a sub though

after match, argued with kewell

in today modern football, possession is very important..if u can't pull 10 - 12 passes together, it will be a problem. every player must try to keep the ball as long as they can. team like mu, chelshite and arsenal rarely lost possesion.

garcia is not fit to play for a big team......yes he score crucial goals for us last season...but how many chances he threw. how many attacking  moves he broke just just because he can't control the ball or his bad first touch. u can't see arsenal, mu, chelshite, barca etc player gave ball way very easy.

[Judge]

there were some good moves by garcia on saturday, but hardly anything to write home about , their keeper had a blinder, and i welcome his comments about us as a team.

Plus Fulhams goals were both off-side affairs, having said that, even if we had managed a draw, its hardly a scoreline that would get us challanging for the title.

expect new faces in january

[andy_g]

when garcia came on we looked like we might make something happen for the first time in the game. his shot from the right was a little bit of magic, he made space for himself and curled in a beauty round a crowd of players matched only by the excellence of the save. he also had plenty of other nice touches and linked up well with other players.

i know that highlights are never really representative of a game, BUT if you take a look at the highlights on liverpoolfc.tv of our last couple of games and watch out for garcia especially you wil see him playing some beautiful clever passes. he's the only one who's really doing that at the moment high up the field.

[Judge]

maybe andy, and i agree he has some deft passes in him, but much of the time they are squandered, not to mention his work rate in getting the ball back that he lost, leaves alot to be desired.

i know the game has changed over the years, but come on, we are used to seeing better than that!!, or am i correct in thinking that super quality is reserved for our rivals??. I just wish we were consistent

At the moment he is the sort of player you want coming off the bench for the last twente minutes or so . Garcia is definately the type of player who can turn a game on its head.
But he doesnt look a premiership player who can hold down a place consistently for 90 minutes.
