This Lia bashing is getting a little over the top. I can't say I particularly like him as a player but you guys are getting out of control.
The stats, as others here have posted, tend to support him. His passing accuracy overall is not unreasonable and his tackling rate is as good as any in the league. It is unfortunate that he gets caught out often, the few poor passes he makes are often particularly bad. This could be at least as much due to a lack of supporting options and hospital passes as poor ability.
Yes it would be nice to have two Mannys in midfield but we only have one and that's how it'll be until next season and it'll be long and tiresome season if all the threads are full of bitching about Lia after every game. He might not be the best passer, or good at holding up the ball but he can tackle and break up play which are important and necessary functions that our midfield needs and until Riera proves otherwise he is the best we have.
Deal with it.
