I hope he continues to play Garcia regularly, we could have some player. He reminds me of Canavaro, short, slow but my god he can read the game and turned out to be one of the best defenders of our generation. Ironically Canavaro made his debut at 17.


I liked the way Garcia went after Calvert Lewin after the foul on Fern. He was one of the first over which makes a pleasant change



He (EG) did the same at Wolves. I like it when he gets stuck in

If bid Ed was playing I guarantee he would’ve absolutely smashed into Calvert-Lewin at the next set piece


despite all of his great saves and incredible footwork, Ed's best quality is that he's a proper hardman with no fear anywhere in his body

Get off his case already - the stats don't lie!


They don’t lie - conceded 75% of shots against him.

Give him another contract , and a pay rise .

In fairness, I was going to say the same until he decided to gift them a goal.

I suppose he won us a cup once. The charitable view might be that he is accident prone

Unfortunately some of it seems to be rubbing off on Ederson lately

We notice Ederson's mistakes more because there's so few of them. The guy is unbelievable.
With Bravo we're shitting it every time there's a cross or corner or where they're using him as an extra defender playing it back to him which is what resulted in their goal yesterday.

With Ederson opposing forwards hardly even press him now when he's on the ball as he's so good. He's the best we've had for years on corners and crosses too.

It doesn't help (Ederson) having a shambolic defence in front of him, with the chop and changing of back 4, obviously this will affect communication

Just watched the highlights of The Rags. De Gea looked worse than Bravo.
