Barcelona fans make Garcia frustrations clear after Espanyol draw

Fans of Spanish giants Barcelona have taken to social media on Sunday evening, to reveal their frustrations with defender Eric Garcia.

Xavi Hernandez’s troops, of course, were back in action a short time ago.

On the back of a morale-boosting downing of Atletico Madrid last time out, the Blaugrana made the trip to the RCDE Stadium for a derby showdown with Espanyol, hopeful of making it back-to-back three-point hauls amid the club’s pursuit of a top-4 berth.

When all was said and done in Cornella, however, Barca were ultimately forced to settle for a share of the spoils. And even that only came courtesy of a last-gasp equaliser.

After Pedri’s opener inside two minutes was cancelled out in style by Sergi Darder just shy of the interval, Espanyol turned the clash firmly on its head just past the hour mark, courtesy of star man Raul de Tomas:

Just when it appeared as though the hosts were on course for all three points, however, Luuk de Jong emerged from the bench to nod home en equaliser with a full six minutes of injury time on the clock, ensuring that the Derbi Barcelona spoils were shared.

‘Not good enough’

Despite their side snatching a point from the jaws of defeat at the death on Sunday night, however, as alluded to above, many of a Barcelona persuasion are unsurprisingly none too pleased on the back of the full-time whistle in Cornella.

This comes amid the widespread agreement that the club’s display simply wasn’t up to scratch, owing to a host of sub-par individual showings.

And one player to have been singled out for particularly heavy criticism comes in the form of Eric Garcia, who, after being introduced at the interval, endured a 45-minute cameo to forget…

Eric Garcia is a very bad Defender

Garcia should never see the pitch again. End of story.

This Garcia is our Maguire. No wonder Pep easily released him to barca
See how Man city fans are happy they got rid of him
