"Stinking up multiple positions", "Most useless player" - Fans slam Barcelona star for woeful performance in 3-1 loss to Valladolid

Football fans on Twitter have blasted Barcelona defender Eric Garcia for his horrendous display in the 3-1 defeat to Real Vallodolit. The La Liga champions suffered their second straight loss in La Liga.

The Blaugrana entered the clash on the back of a 2-1 loss against Real Sociedad. They got off to a poor start against Valldolid, and Andreas Christensen scored an own goal within two minutes. A penalty goal from Cyle Larin and another from Gonzalo Plata made it 3-0 for Valldolid in the 73rd minute.

Robert Lewandowski, much like in the last game, scored a last-ditch goal that turned out to be a consolation. Barca lost their second game in a row, while Valldolid secured three massive points in their relegation battle.

Fans were unhappy with Eric Garcia's performance during the game. The Spaniard, who started as a right-back, played in multiple positions during the game.

Fans criticized his performance, with one writing on Twitter:

"Barça losing to get Espanyol relegated. Good minutes for Pablo Torre. Eric García stinking up multiple positions on the pitch. Disney statpadding to solidify the Pichichi. We cooked tonight."

Another fan claimed:

"Bro Eric Garcia has to be the most useless player ever in the whole wide world."

Garcia has now made 30 appearances for the Catalan club across competitions, including 17 as a starter in the playing XI. His displays, however, have been far from convincing, as per the Blaugrana faithful.

Fans lambasted the player, and here are some of the best Twitter reactions after Barcelona's defeat against Real Valldolid:

Barcelona's Eric Garcia's game against Valldolid by numbers

While Eric Garcia completed 65 passes during the clash against Real Valldolid, the Barcelona number 24 lost possession 14 times as well. He also completed only one of his two attempted tackles and made no interceptions during the game.

Overall, it was not a very convincing performance from the Spain international. These types of performances have become a regular for the former Manchester City player since his move to La Liga.

He has failed to make a permanent place for himself in the team's backline. The likes of Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen, and Ronald Araujo are Barca's first-choice defenders at the moment. With performances like the one against Valldolid, it could be hard for Garcia to get himself back on the team.
