Don't get me wrong, the lads god potential.

You think he will be as good a Robbie ?

Would be nice, but sadly not.

Dundalk, the Judge is clearly clueless on football, and you will see in that particular thread that the merits of Garcia hugely out weigh the occasional and in frequent bad games.

Leon, he looked like he'd make something happen, Luis Garcia didn't. Thats the end of it.

Stu mate, dont talk down to me lad, you have your opinion, and I have mine.

Yours in not more correct than mine, and vice versa.

I was trying to engage you in conversation, obviously not an option !!

Haha

Sorry.

No seriously though, did you not think he looked lively and likely to score or create something?

For me, Luis Garcia tried, but nothing happened for him all game. He was poor when we had the ball.

Ping Pong always looks able to hold the ball up and bring others into play, he is ideal in that sense when you are holding onto a lead or trying to run down the game without commiting too many bodies forward. Score a goal though ? I reckon Rob Jones looks more likely to score a goal at this level.

Garcia had a quiet game, but to say he was sh.ite or anything like that is plain wrong.

Don't get me wrong, the lads got potential.

But he's lacking in discipline and passing ability and occassionally positional sense and nouse.

They are all things though that look as if they will improve with age. He's already a better passer than when he first played and he's getting smarter.

A year in the reserves should help him on. I'm not saying don't play him, but i think games like this are a step to far AT THE MINUTE.

The reserves play the same solid way. He'll get more confidence and improve playing for them. Get a decent right winger in and he'll be used sparingly untill he's ready, the thing is, he will be ready soon. The lads getting there. He lost form a few weeks ago after a beltin start, now he looks as if hes findin his level again.

Most of his touches and passes were we wee flicks and to himself that Chavski just gobbled up, he was the weak link in our team

Man sissoko and hamann was all over the place and made it easy for our back 4. if a defensive midfielder is relegated to the reserves after a clean sheet at stamford bridge then i think you and me are borne on different planets. sissoko has his strenghts and weaknesses but tonight he couldn't have done much more. try watching the game without drinking 10 pints of lager next time man, and enjoy. let's just agree that we disagree, but this time (as usual) i know who's right. tomorrow i bet rafa will single out sissoko for his excellent game tonight.

Alonso and Gerrard are the future. Sissoko is a superb PROSPECT but he's nowhere near the finished article and at times he gets carried by the team, IE the last few games.

We are a good side, developing superbly, hence he's doing ok. But he wasn't great tonight by any stretch of the imagination.

You make it quite clear about your dislike for Sami, but if you look at the DEFENCE this season they've been terrific. Hyypia, Carragher, Reina, Finnan, Warnock and Riise have all been outstanding defensively and the system has got the best out of all of them.

The positioning of Hyypia, Carragher and Finnan is exceptional. They all read the game superbly and have different strengths, however, they are all primarily superb DEFENDERS. At left back we have Warnock and Riise who are also good players and potentially in the same backet. Riise isn't as defensive minded, but concentrates well and does his best, where as Warnock will learn with time.

To say however, the midfield makes it easy for the defence is insulting to one of the best defensive units in world football. If not the best at the moment.
