Stop showboating Luis
Rafa has told Luis Garcia to cut down on the audacious skills and concentrate more on keeping the ball:
"That is the one problem for Luis and I have spoken to him about it," said Benitez. "He likes to try different things and I know the supporters are sometimes not happy when they don't come off. "He has his own style and is very talented, but he has to learn there is a time and a place for some of the things he does. "He has to take on board as quickly as possible where it is all right to attempt something out of the ordinary and when he should play safe and not risk losing the ball. "I think he heard the crowd the other day (against CSKA Sofia) and he is beginning to understand that, no matter how good you are, you must use your qualities in the right area. "Anyone who has seen him knows he has the talent to succeed in the Premiership. It's just that, at times, he tries difficult things in the wrong places. "The key thing, though, is that he has intelligence as well as ability. If you are making a lot of mistakes and are not that much good anyway, there is not much you can do as a coach. But it will be easier with Luis because he is a very clever player as well as a good one."
Garcia is the type of player who can really turn on the style but should wait until we are 2-0 up. The problem is our inability to kill of games to put us in position where he can showcase his skills. We also get exposed when attacks break down due to lack of pace at the back.
I would like Garcia to carry on attempting his flicks and tricks as sometimes they are exactly what is required to break down the opposition.
Please post your thoughts.

... he shows signs of becoming a good player but his style is more suited to the spanish league where he has more time on the ball, his distribution is incredibly average for a player who cost 6M.
