Chico on 19:12 - Apr 24 by jack247 | His positioning and awareness were about as bad as we have had in the PL. The reason he made so many fantastic last ditch tackles was because he was out of position or lost concentration in the first place. On the ball, yes, he was far better than Fernandez. He also benefitted from having a younger Rangel and Davies as his full backs, with a better midfield in front of him. Caulker was better than either of them for us. We should be aiming to do better than all three. |
Chico was part of a team. Good teams are built around the strengths and weaknesses of players. chico' a positional sense suffered at times because he was so mobile. Moving the game forward, Taking the ball into midfield and further rather than just looking for the sideways pass. He also got his fair share if goals. Fede is a decent player but does not offer the team as much unfortunately. | ![](/images/avatars/8905.gif) |

Chico on 19:17 - Apr 24 by 3swan | Agree the backbone of our team have all aged together, They allowed the team to play, but now a combined %age drop in performance has hit us hard |
Yes but when Laudrup dare suggest this and started trying to blood in replacements the old guard went running to the board room . Can't drop leon,can't drop Ash, can't drop Taylor It's been very clear for 2 yrs that while these players will still have a use some of them will be ready for the scrap heap. We have kept some players for a bit too long and its starting to show now, the fans haven't helped much either here, if leon takes a dump on the centre circle half the stadium start chanting his name ! Some big months coming up thats for sure, personally i think the board and previous managment have set us an absolute mountain to climb . | ![](/images/avatars/13184.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Chico on 18:30 - Apr 24 by LeonisGod | JdG got loads of grief on here for being lightweight, but we haven't had anyone come close to his quality since. I'd take siggy over pablo though any day of the week. Best not think about the quality we had with Michu as I don't like to see grown men cry. |
Michu couldn't maintain his recent run of scoring today, but he did hit the bar as UP Langreo won 2-0. I reckon he could still do a job for somebody if he can keep lasting the 90 minutes - possibly a mid-level La Liga team. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It suffered because he was positionally weak and prone to lapses of concentration. Getting caught out of position because you have gone forward is one thing. Getting caught because you haven't watched your runner or you are simply standing in the wrong position isn't. He wasn't without his strengths, but he had glaring flaws as well. It's why he plays in the desert instead of somewhere decent. Although man for man I'd say he is better than Fed, in this team he would be an utter disaster. It was a strange opening post anyway, surely we should be looking at better than either of them? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

good points. I think most on here would also conceed that if Chico was given the same headed chances fedde has had this season chico would prob be pushing double figures! Awful at attacking set plays, the one he scored he got by turning away from it !! Fedde is an ok player, one of the most expensive steady eddy types you will ever see in the prem league. We got caught with that signing also. He isn't £6m better than Chico or £7m better than Amat, we all know it just dont want to admit it . | ![](/images/avatars/13184.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Yes. Based on the season he was with us and the time the other two have been here. Chico was a highlight reel player. Fantastic step overs and dummies, could put a great tackle in as well, but Ash covered his arse far more than he has had to do for anyone else. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Err, not any more he isn't. Mahrez made him so angry by making him look like a complete c*nt at the Liberty earlier this season that he just gave him the ball to score today as a gesture of surrender. He has to go, in reality should have gone after he signed his last megabucks contract. | ![](/images/avatars/8686.gif) |

Ok if Fernandez' strength is his positional play - what use is that if he's in the right position to tackle a player but can't tackle? Or head the ball? The phrase chocolate teapot springs immediately to mind. Chico offered our midfield extra options by carrying the ball forward, something we have missed terribly since he went. | ![](/images/avatars/8686.gif) |

Well he can tackle and head the ball. Let's not go miles over the top here. His biggest weaknesses are his lack of aggression/dominance and actually being in possession and having to carry the ball forward or play a pass, both of which are strengths for Chico. It's a moot point anyway, I'd hope we upgrade on Fernandez in the summer and I'd hope the player that comes in is a lot better than Chico. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
