Kewell vs Garcia

[Roarcelona]

Don't care. They're both great and they're both ours.

[yellow jumper]

i think they bring different qualities to similar areas of the pitch and will both be used as regular first team members.

 

for what it's worth, i agree with those who say we've missed luis in recent weeks.

[Guest Monkeywool]

I am delighted we have both players, Rafs apparently is almost in a position where he can rotate again - considering he did it last year and didnt have the players to do it. Tis a good sign

Exactly, they're both very different players who play in similar positions. I think depending on the opposition and how we play either player could be better.

well

Then another question. There are many people to critcize Garcia, if he doesn't score or even if he scores. But Kewell scored only once and had a couple of assists and everybody believe, that problem of left wing is solved. THAT IS RIDICOLOUS.

To me, both of them aren't world class. And I believe, that left wing position is in worse situation. Because

1. Garcia is better than Kewell.

2. Kromkamp can play as a RM.

PS Kewell disappeared in the match against mancs... Garcia never would have disappeared!

[Earl Hafler]

Different types of player but up to now, Garcia has been the better player for us.

I was slightly disappointed yesterday when Kewell didn't try and take their last defender on after we cleared form a corner. He seemed to tense up.

[Guest Monkeywool]

I dont think Kewell disappeared, in fact I think Kewell worked harder than a lot of players did. He got stuck in a hell of a lot more and was part of the key to controlling the game.

i think they are two very different players. you are right, garcia wont hide, and i'd rather have him in the side than out of it, but Kewell on form is a great player too. they both give us different options, and i'm glad we have them both

Eh? I don't understand your point.

 

Are you suggesting that Garcia should take Kewell's place at left midfield with Kromkamp at right? Meaning you rate Kromkamp higher than both Kewell and Riise? Based on what?

 

Or are you saying that Garcia should a permanent fixture at right midfield with Kromkamp as backup and we should instead be looking for a replacement for Kewell rather than trying to get in a new right mid?

 

Either way it's ridiculous and you're posts in this thread are just thinly veiled attacks on Kewell (using one game as evidence...).

 

(Of course I'm working under the assumption Gerrard at right midfield is a temporary solution)

personally i prefer garcia as frustrating as he can be at times he has moments of pure magic and scores some amazing goals

but im glad we have them both and i think they will both play plenty of games

[Hobbsie]

Would like to see Garcia play off the striker, and leave the LM to Kewell, drop Warnock and play Riise at LB

OK Garcia is great and Kewell is schit.

 

Happy now?

[Guest Anders Honoré]

Is spanish_fan and barcamania the same poster?

[abc]

Kewell and Garcia are both intelligent footballers who enjoy playing together on the pitch. The Monaco home match last season (long time ago yes) showed some excellent interplay between the both of them.

 

And FFS, Kewell worked bloody hard against Man Utd. Even after getting his nose done early in the match. Some people are blinded by their bias against players.

[Guest Barcamania]

Eh? I don't understand your point.

The point is LM position is a problem too. Yeah, we need classy wingers, but it's too early to say, that with Kewell our LM problems are solved! I don't see difference between RM and LM problem at all. We have two decent players for RM position and only one for LM position. So, i think it's better to consider that problem too, because if Kewell is injured, I don't see other options.(Riise is needed in LB position)

I would like to see Garcia as a LM, if we sign someone for RM position

Reina

Finnan--Carra--Hyypia/Agger--Riise

New winger--Alonso--Gerrard--Garcia

--------Crouch---Pongolle/new striker

I'd say giuly and Messi are more than decent to be fair

[Guest Anders Honoré]

Kewell is plating very well at the moment, if he keeps it up we have the LM position tied up.

 

We have Riise as backup, Garcia can play there and we are signing Gonzalez in the summer.

 

there is no LM problem.

[cymrococh]

spanish_fan, he is from Galicia. Barcamania, he is catalan.

but who will play when goofy is out? it's a problem.

[Cooldude]

They're both great

 

Does it really matter who's better? It's like the Gerrard vs Xabi crap that was on here last season

[Guest Anders Honoré]

They're both great

 

Really? I think both posters are prone to weird stereotypes.

and you are ideal poster?

You posted some crap about Victor, I hope I don't need to remind you that!

You have more stereotypes...

[G Richards]

I think Kewell is better than Garcia. It's a tough one to call, becasue Harry has been in the wilderness for so long. Just lately he's coming back into form. There's more to come and if he keeps it going then I think he will clearly prove himself the better player. At the minute it's debatable, because of Harry's injuries still lingering in the mind.

 

This is not to say Garcia is a bad player. He is excellent, and his skill and turns often provide a bit of inspiration in unlocking a tight game. OK, there is the obvious downside (lost possession) but Garcia is a good little player and we've missed him the past few weeks.

 

I'm glad we have both, but for me Kewell edges it. I believe this will become clearer if harry can stay fit and keep building on the solid performances he's been putting in of late.

well, I don't see much wrong with what I posted about Victor.

 

Stuff like 'media overhyped his one goal' strikes me as a bit weird, seeing as Kewell is being distinctively underrated by the mdeia still.

 

relax mate, just poking fun a bit.

Mates, it's obvious that Garcia is way better PROOF
