I agree.
Fernando did ok on his own & got in plenty of interceptions, but it was a case of reaction rather than prediction; he didn't read the game & stop danger before it happened like Barry used to do, & Garcia had started to do.
This is why it's madness IMHO to get rid of Javi if he is out of the Champs squad promise him the cups and tell him he can go in Jan if he wants.
At the moment playing Fernando is leaving us exposed as he isnt up to speed.
We don't really know what the Count has in mind yet though. If it's simply a direct swap, then I would say we are stronger with Garcia, but if it's a change of style, to a more athletic mid with both Fernandinho & Fernando behind Yaya, then it may look very different.
