Luis Garcia is one of my favourate players and im sick of him showing himself up through his passing, and in turn the slating he gets on this place.
So far he has played on both wings and in attacking midfield and one or twice up front.
My opionion of Garcia is he is a striker (support striker at least) play to his strengths and limit his weaknesses.
e.g.
we know he can finish (goals against, birmigham (A), Betis (A), Sunderland (A) just for this seasons examples) playing him up front would give him this chance more often, he has a little pace so we could use him in an Owen sort of role.
We know he can shoot from distance (goals against, charlton (H, LS), Juve (H, LS), Tottenham (H, LS). Playing his as a support striker or striker would allow him more chance to do this.
He has decent (not brilliant) ball control this would be usefull up front.
We all know he is one of the worst passer on our team (evidence every game he plays bar 1 or 2) Playing him up front limits his passing option and therefore limits his passes per game.
In conclusion playing him up front would be playing to his strengths and limiting his weaknesses it would also exploit his ability to be on loose balls (Arsenal this season both goals he scored) no to mention allow him more chance to use his headering ability (which is suprisingly good for such a short guy) If you think about the goals Ive mentioned they show Garcias ability in the areas I mentioned his finishing ability and long range shooting.
I think ive included everything I wanted, but does any one have anything to add or just general I agree or disagree. I would like to find out your opinions on this. Oh and please dont slate me.
