Lamare Bogarde

Garcia on bench yesterday and may be given a start v Leeds if Cash not fit. Unless something else happens to boost finances can see Bogarde being sold for FFP+ reasons in the summer if £20M (or better) + add ons + sell on % is offered - pure profit from what I recall and Brighton would be back in if they sell some of their midfielders. Not saying it would be right but the world we find ourselves in.

This was meant to be his chance to develop as a DCM, instead he’s been shunted about to RB again.

Exactly, we’ve got two right backs out injured, it’s not his position but needs must at the moment.

He simply isn’t good enough, wherever he plays. Gets dispossessed very easily.

Agreed. Hopefully if Cash isn't fit we bring in Garcia at right back and move Bogarde to midfield to re-enforce it as Onana and Luiz desperately need help. We're losing the midfield every game now from what was our strongest department partly due to opposition teams outnumbering us there.

García has either been injured or not looked particularly special. If we have the room to bring someone better/more senior in to rotate with Cash like Dean and Maatsen do on the left, let's do it. Send García back home.

I hope Rowe is a selection option for right-back next season.

[Matt C]

Emery clearly doesn’t trust Garcia - I think we’ll see Bogarde, Konsa or Lindelof there before he puts Garcia in.

[eye digress]

It was a mistake for the third goal - though a shared one with a few other players (he had no easy out pass) and, given the positional change and fatigue of playing with 10 men, there's enough rope to cut him some slack.

I think it's inevitable that younger players are going to be slightly inconsistent. Also, we know he wouldn't have been playing if other players had been fit, and by and large, he's been one of the big pluses for us this year. So I'm pretty surprised at the impatience and lack of support for him.
