Just wanted to do a quick thread about a certain Mr Garcia - after the weekend.
I think it's fair to say - he's takin a fair bit of stick on this forum to date. Some justified (Possibly)

Some (Absolute Boll*cks) :angry:

I know it was only one game on Saturday, but, again I think it's fair to say he showed us all what he can do.
There were some fantastics crosses going into the box & his contributon to the team effort was excellent.
Just wanted to say - well done Son, keep it up - and if Morientes keeps knocking them in - your gonna be a legend.

And to all those - calling for his head after a few games
Boll*cks

How would you know

as a steward, you have your back to the pitch

No need to correct you Mark
You are correct - he did try to flick the ball to Gerrard & it didn't come off
But then you could argue that we didn't have any cover at right back, so the fulham lad had plenty of time to pick his cross
then you could argue that we should have dealt with the ball when it came in, but we didnt
Jeez - I don't know, over critical or what

his mistakes were completely overshadowed by him being instrumental in our dismantling of the Fulham

Your right of course Mark
He's still got a way to go - before he's the finished article - but the promise is definitely their.
I just though the lad deserved a "Big Up" for his performance as do the rest of the lads & the gaffa

Garcia could be a VERY GOOD player, but for now he is only a good player.

To be a VERY GOOD player he needs to....

1) Release the ball earlier more often....

2) Not try dribbling the entire opposition every time he gets the ball at his feet....

3) Play it SIMPLE more often....

I am sure Benitez will sort him out.

Garcia "could" be really great for us over the next few seasons.

Garcia always semms to play better at home for some reason.

wasn't there a prev discussion bout garcia with a spanish quote?
soemthiung like him being like a potato? good footballer - bad head?

or were they two seperate things describing garcia?

Garcia plays better at Anfield as the rest of the team plays better at Anfield.

I think he is a great little player, he will lose possesion from time to time, but I feel if we had Hamman playing instead of the donkey Biscan, the problems caused would never have happened.

He is improving all the time and causing opposition teams problems... I agree with Southern Scouser, well in lad!!!

it's the first time this season that garcia has managed to play two games in a row without getting slagged off here afterwards.

he should be judged by his PRODUCT. i,e, how many goals he scores and how many he creates. i think he has scored 5 goals so far (he'd be in double figures if he could shoot properly), and in the last few games has had 2 major assists.

however we saw the best and the worst of him in the space of about 10 minutes on saturday. the nutmeg on boa morte and the cross for morientes was just superb. on the other hand he then gifts fulham possession by trying another fancy flick and they go up the other end and equalise.

he needs to learn, but given time i'm sure he'll be a very important player for us. :cool:

Garcia has on occasions given the ball away cheaply in recent games but i think this season is a season that we need to be patient with the new lads as they adjust to the closer marking and quicker closing down in the english game.

He has the ability to make things happen for us and that is what we need. For to long now we've been relient on the GOD that is Stevie G to produce a cutting pass or a superhuman shot.

We may not finish any higher or in point terms any closer to the champions who ever they are but personally i'm enjoying the way we are palying. Gone as the day were we try to bore the team into submission. Back are the days when we actually try to control the game with passing and movement.

next time you bother to go the match, if you ever do. have a look around and see how many stewards are just standing there on the stairwells watching the game, and admire the view we get. its a perk of the job, watching the game and getting paid.

the lads with their back to the pitch tend to be the ones who arent interested in the game, but were i am i get to watch the game undisturbed. i must admit dapioneer has a point about the lack of atmosphere, and somebody else mentioned that the majority of ooters only know the 'walk on walk on' oart of ynwa. these people contribute nothing to the club other than they fill seats, if anything they are an embarrassment to the club. considering that you are an ooter and you are proud, tell me what city you are from and why you dont support your local team.

and stop with this dapioneer business, im not him nor do i know him

Nah, I think it was Gerrard losing the coin toss before the kick-off that leads to their goal...

Posted: **Mon Feb 07, 2005 2:38 pm**

sorry to be in a sacarstic mood...bad day.

No I don't have the answer but I think we did not lose the ball foolishly in a dangerous position leading to the goal. H'ever, Hyppia should have pick out Cole when the cross came in.
