Those are facts. And another fact is that LG can't afford to have a bad game without the press having a go on him.
You have an unreliable realiabilty here: He's a unreliable player that gives regular and important goals to the team every season. He's not that unreliable in that sense, is he?
Good post, Sabre. Another point to remember, Garcia doubters--every one of his goals comes from midfield and from open play, which is no mean feat.
