24 - Eric García

[Horatio]

he’s pretty talented.

He had a class touch on mf to rid himself of defender.

I am looking for video of the moment as we speak…


It was early 2nd half. Anyone can find it?

 

[El Ilusionista]

He is alright as back up centre back, but please Hansi dont play this guy in the middle of the park again. Doesn’t have the athleticism nor awareness to play as a midfielder.

 

[JamDav1982]

He actually looked fairly quick at times tonight.. but his passing was off.

A reverse of how normally looks.

Hansi Flick: "Eric García had an offer from another club, but I told him that I needed him to play in another position, 100%. It's clear to see how he has improved. He's a really great player, a great person, and a great professional. He's the kind of player I want in my team."

Exactly.

The type of squad players that are important.

 

[Joan]

Surprised how poor his passing was tonight, very untypical.

 

[Alik]

Was shaky.

 

[draconifire]

Did his job though. He is the 3rd backup in DM and 4th as a CB.
Coming in during crucial matches and not fucking it up is whats required from him. So its all good.

Good to have players like him; doesn't get injured often. And as a backup, he covers 2 or 3 positions.
Would much rather have him than Christensen.
Gives a lot of flexibility to the coach during matches where our starters are injured or fatigued.

Don't doubt this but great player he's not.

Ok as a sub late in the game and occasional start against most La Liga teams but don't really want to see him against Atleti, Madrid or good European teams. Should def look for an improvement but unlikely in current situation so I expect club will probably renew his contract and then sell him in a year or two when we could afford to bring someone better.

 

[JamDav1982]

Nah he is a good back up player and versatile.

It is important to have players that are good on ball also when want to try and replicate the way others play out from back.
