grefstad 0 Posted February 2, 2013 Cant help it. Everytime I see Garrido play, the guy is a liability.The penalty today, although clumsy by Bunn, was actually made by Garridos even clumsier pass.Bales goal on Wed, I think Garrido could have done more than just backing 40 yrds into his penalty area on that occasion as well.Still think he is easily passed by opposition wingers, and his low height means he is a vulnerability on defensive set pieces against, as seen earlier this season.Not good enough.Time for Tierney again, although he is not much better...

BarclayCanary (Former HDDH) 0 Posted February 2, 2013 The reason as to why Garrido didn''t take out bale on wednesday was because he was on a yellow card and didn''t want to get sent off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grefstad 0 Posted February 2, 2013 Yes, but thats also my main view of him. He does everything pretty average, and never takes one for the team.Te Bale goal was very avoidable. Both Tettey and Garrido had the chance, neither took it, both were on yellow cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirsty Lizard 3,155 Posted February 2, 2013 You''re right grefstad - stopping Gareth Bale when he is running at you at full speed is one of the easiest jobs in football - sheesh, I could do it on my own blindfolded with both my feet tied together.

snake-eyes 13 Posted February 2, 2013 l can''t believe l am hearing this!Although he wasn''t great today agreed he has been excellent this Season. I Suppose a new scapegoat must be found?who do people want there? Ashley Cole? Leyton Baines?Get real! If people think Tierney is better than Garrido then god help us!Snake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggy 752 Posted February 2, 2013 I do feel he has had a few poor games recently. I''m not sure our style of play suits him overly well, I think he''d be better as a marauding wing back type player. Instead, I think he ends up worrying too much about his defensive duties to be able to play with the freedom he might want. Today he had an especially poor game, but I think it''s probably just a bit of a bad spell for him rather than him not being good enough. He''s shown more than enough throughout most of the season to suggest he is more than capable of be a very decent premiership defender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordon Bennett 780 Posted February 2, 2013 Two really good draws this week plus a clean sheet away from home, yet still people feel the need to criticise players and on another thread the manager.Sometimes you winder if people really understand the game properly.

Scooby 0 Posted February 2, 2013 He has consistently been one of best and most important players this season. What''s up idiots? Must be his turn today, at least until one of the new guys f*cks up. Poor old Luciano''s on a hiding to nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smooth 114 Posted February 2, 2013 Today he and bassong had a few individual errors.I can forgive because of the levels of consistency and the fact that they are by far and away better players than what we have now in their positions.But, individual mistakes and lack of concentration is what costs you in this league. We will need to stop these throughout the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orly 277 Posted February 2, 2013 I''m glad he''s in our squad. We certainly didn''t have a player of his qualities (note I didn''t say defensive qualities) at his position prior to his arrival.I don''t think the original post is entirely without merit however, he enters tackles in a rather unorthodox fashion, and I''m not entirely sure that he is the quite up to scratch from a defensive perspective. I''m of the opinion that Tierney is better defensively, but offers nowhere near as much going forward as Garrido. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 318 Posted February 2, 2013 When Pilks went off, Whittaker a perfectly capable LB should have been sent on and Garrido play left midfield, hes played here before. Benno is no left winger. This unsettled the balance of the side. Think we need to recall Whittaker he was the catalyst of our 10 game unbeaten run either RB or LB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland Canary 76 Posted February 2, 2013 Not one of his better games today - weak in the tackle and often caught in possession. Another problem for the Summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

York Canary 28 Posted February 2, 2013 I watched the game and he made me very, very nervous throughout. Didn''t look comfortable at all and although the pitch didn''t help it was mainly his fault that the penalty was conceded. He looked the most indecisive of all the back 4 and keeper. He is still a good player and I hope he gets back to his early performances. I still think we need another LB in summer though to replace Tierney at the very least Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 2, 2013 I''d love to know which quality, experienced left-back people think we should sign to replace the "liability" Garrido?Get real, he''s a good player at this level and a good match for the club at present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shefcanary 2,385 Posted February 2, 2013 A couple of mistakes from him today, one almost very costly (thank Bunn) but still less mistakes than Hoolahan usually makes (although today Hoolahan was almost immacualte - whassup wi'' him - oh, Eire match midweek). He is not the strongest of tacklers but knows how to hold attackers up - out wide QPR didn''t get a sniff. Onward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perfectly warrant of an opinion...And I am not negative, but critical of the current setup of the team, and performances of certain players, which I dont think are good enough.I dont buy into the halleluja stuff regarding Hughton, and certainly not about Garrido, I have seen all Norwich games this season, home and away, and Garrido has never convinced me he is a dependable left back at this level.Critical remarks are not always negative.
