Muniz must start at the Etihad after his barnstorming cameo earns Fulham a point

We keep being told by Alvaro Arbeloa and others, that Gonzalo Garcia makes brilliant off-the-ball runs, that he’s simply not getting the correct service, that we just don’t appreciate how good he is.

But at present Garcia is a centre-forward who hasn’t scored a goal in his last nine Premier League starts, misses chances, has a poor first touch and looks utterly shot of confidence.

In Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Newcastle he simply didn’t trouble two hulking opposition centre-backs. He missed yet another decent headed chance, like those against Hull and Crystal .
