The way football is heading in recent times will help Garcia case.
Teams are pumping set pieces into box from a lot deeper. Teams are defending them deeper also so more scope for GKs to claim ball.
Also corners.. current trend swung in right on top of GK and loaded with players attacking that area.
Long throws.
Garcia with his height and way looked claiming balls last season for Espanyol could well be as well equipped as any GK in world for that and much more so than Simon and Raya.
Helps when he can get down low like Buffon and good on ball also.

Simon is having a bad start of the season, but he is a very underrated GK and he was one of the best in the World in the past few years, it goes unnoticed due to the club he is playing for.
GK like that will always have the trust of NT when he is performing well there, which Simons did fairly well for around half decade, he had the full trust of Lucho and LDF and it will take a lot to takeover his spot. NT coaches are always like that, they are usually loyal to their guys due to the nature of international football (they meet every month at best, or even few months).
Joan is only 4 years younger, it might take far more than people expect for him to be the starting GK for Spain, if it ever happens.

It was offside
We seriously need to drop this practice on shitting on everyone when we lose. Kounde, Araujo and Ferran are three players that we need to criticise
First goal is special delivery from our braindead defenders. Second goal unsavable
I said starting, nowhere near the shit the others are getting
MasQueCulé
Ter Stegen and Araujo Hater
What starting ? I saw only a shit show of defenders.

he backed out of saving Este's goal, either he thought it was going out which is worst case scenario or didn't have confidence could save hoping for crossbar

This was by far his worst game here tbh, he was pretty underwhelming .
I am not blaming him for the loss or anything, but it isn't like he was saving our ass.

Ain't no goalie saving a win here. Not even prime Neuer.
