Benayoun v Garcia

[George Costanza]

Benayoun had a world class 3 months, apart fromm that he's hit and miss. Garcia never had that sustained period of quality but in general had more of an impact than Yossi. I'd chose Garcia, just. Although he usd to infuriate the fuck out of me.

[Red Banjo]

Who do you take?

 

Where? We going somewhere?

 

On holiday? Prob Yossi, as Luis would have better luck with the rat. Yossi has a face for radio, therefore making you look better, and increasing your chances.

 

On to the pitch? Deffo Luis. Frustrating as he was, the ability to create something out of nothing is a quality sadly lacking from this squad. And, as already mentioned, his song was boss. I still sing it to myself every now and then, infact i sang it to the cat (with clapping) only last week. The cat thinks im nuts anyway.

 

Fucking loved Luis. As much as we sang for him not to be taken away, off he went anyway. Bastards.

[Medazza]

Remember being in that massive traffic jam on the way to the Ataturk with people leaning out the taxis and buses singing along to that! Then we got out at the little shop, bought a few tins off some mad turks and set off over that moonscape still singing it with the stadium in the distance. Happy days.

 

Yeah that was some journey. As you say the song was ace.

My daughter was born soon after and I used to sing it to her to get her to sleep

[sir roger]

Luis for me.

 

More of a goal threat & more of a game-changer. He was also massively involved in us winning trophies.

 

If Benny had added to last season's performances it would have been close, but he has gone backwards significantly.

[mgw100]

Yossi for me. I think he is comfortably the better footballer.

[zigackly]

Really? No-one seemed to rate him before last March and I think he's been poor this season, but each to their own.

Agree with this.

 

Shame Yossi hasn't kept his form up he showed last season, where he was a match winner.

[George Costanza]

He was our best player. He was fucking immense. Before and after that he's been mostly unforgettable. Moment of brilliance inbetween a lot of poor/mediocre play. Garcia has a knack of scoring goals and being the right place, right time. Rarely did he have a brillaint 90 minutes or run of games but he'd produce moments in games that made a big impact.

[Heinze]

lucas is better.

[Spanish_fan]

They are both about the same. Garcia scores more goals and Benayoun keeps the ball better. None of them are good enough to be the creative talent of a top team, but Benitez knew this beforehand, the idea being that he could/can play his workers instead in difficult matches and not many people would complain seeing those two on the bench. That's the reason why he never signs a top creative player.

That's a great point and the biggest problem where Benayoun is concerned. He had a world class three months when the team as a collective had a world class three months.

 

Apart from that he's been inconsistent, very much like the team.

 

In fact, during Rafa's tenure there hasn't been many players who have risen above that.

[Red Jersey]

For future reference, where do i go to start a poll?

That's because football is a team game isn't it?

 

Makes *durr* face at Brownie

Benayoun is probably the better player... Garcia has more memorable moments under his belt, but he was pretty sketchy on the whole...

 

I rerckon they'll both be remembered for their moments of magic (Yossi v Fulham, Garcia v Chelsea, etc) rather than as Liverpool legends...

[Guest TK-421]

Luis Garcia by a cunt hair.

That made me cry when it was the offal put it up...

[alanricouk]

They are both fucking shit and frustrating players. I'd not take either.

[Preston Red]

After watching my 06/07 DVD while packing today, I reckon Lil Luis could've won us the European Cup in Athens with the chances we had.

Yossi's had a stop start season might be a factor in his dip in form. At his best as mentioned he can be very good/ world class. Garcia had a touch of genius interspersed with carelessness and giving the ball away frequently. I would say equal.

Nobheaddery of the highest order, that is. Duly negged.

[dirty_sanchez]

Love them both. When Luis was shit, he was just frustrating, but when Yossi is shit, he's totally useless. Both of them on form are brilliant. Luis for me by a slim margin.

[zigackly]

Watching some of the Luis Garcia videos on youtube it's easy to forget just how fucking awesome the little man's skills could be. Shame he had such an inconsistent hit rate but when it came off for him, fuck me!
