24 - Eric García

[JamDav1982]

Araujo doesnt have a top level to try and play him in into.

It isnt form. He is what he is.

 

[Nello]

Play Araujo into form (feels like we have been saying that for 24 months already) or Cubarsi into form are the only two options we have.

Cubarsi seems absolutely shot physically right now though. I don't know how long it will take to salvage that.

Christensen being fit would sort alot of issues. I can see him allowing Eric into the pivot as you say, or even pivoting himself.

Christensen been fit until a week ago, don't think he'll get a more prominent role fit or not, as it isn't in the plans to extend his contract.

 

[Nello]

Cant see it and tonight did nothing for that argument.

Elche targetted Araujo on ball all game and forced him into hoofs up the park while defensively he had another big error.

All the reasons why Fkick hasnt trusted him more were on show.

Agree. I don't see Araujo reaching a much higher level in this setup. Him and Kounde are awful in buildup jeez

 

[Loki]

Broken nose, out of the game against Celta.

 

[Devils]

I think Flick needs to bite the bullet and play him at RB.

 

[Barcaman]

Should be starting every match

 

[te amo barca]

Moves the ball the fastest from our defenders and way more secure at RB than Kounde the technical calamity

 

[ThwiX]

Good game, but he won’t cut it, just like this version of Kounde, against big teams with quicker and more technical players. Our fullback situation is worrying.

Eric is not slow.

 

[Devils]

Miles above Kounde so far this season.

 

[MonteCuler]

No reason not to start him over Kounde

Unless of course Flick has plans for Eric as starting CB. Then there is no other option

 

[Barcaman]

He's our best defender. Can't believe it. Not a dig at Eric, as I am a fan but, in reality, it tells you how much our quality at the back deteriorated.

 

[ElMagodel304]

Im seriously impressed by how he improved physically. He used to be sooooooo weak in 1vs1...he is our best def right now for sure. There is lot of rumours in Paris about Luis Enrique wanting to sign him.

 

[Andresito]

Most minutes played so far. Agree he should be starting RB until Kounde wakes up.

 

[TheStig]

Our best RB and CB, if we returned to single pivot he would be our best DM too.
