Feels more like an 8 to me, but i wonder if there is a plan to go with Garner as a 6.

Apparently and I’m no expert he plays across the midfield including 6, 8 and in the right of midfield

I’ve never seen him play so make of that what you wil

We don't play a traditional holding midfielder in a 4-2-3-1

Or are we now wanting Everton to sign players for a formation that we want them to play?

No we play two.

Wouldn't be blocking Armstrong then?

Or do we think Armstrong will end up as a 6

Garner IS a 6. He played there for Forest when they got promoted and was their player of the season.

We've played 4 games this season and played 433 in two of them

Played 45 mins yesterday against Köln, I cant remember him touching the ball

Just remember him coming on and thinking, "ah, I remember being linked to him".

 

[ElGato]

No we play two.

We really don't. Neither Garner nor Gana nor Tim are your deep lying holding midfield types. All are well rounded midfielders who can cover deep and get higher

 

[RomanReigns]

you don't need to watch him to know where he plays

transfermarkt tells you everything

he's played 48 times in the german league

13 games as an attacking midfielder, 13 games as a central midfielder, 12 games as a second striker, 4 games as a right winger, 3 games as a left winger and 1 game as a right midfielder

it seems like he doesn't even know where he wants to play

I think Armstrong is probably an 8 too but there is a chance that both Gana and Tim leave next summer. I think Tim has this season to try and show us it's worth keeping him otherwise I can see him going.

Garner IS a 6. He played there for Forest when they got promoted and was their player of the season.

I agree, but I mean more in the sense that we go with Garner as a 6 and then play with KDH as an 8 and Alcaraz as a 10 or we go with two 8s with KDH/Merlin when Gana is at AFCON. Assuming we don't get another 6 in.

Brian mcClair?

 

[ElGato]

We've played 4 games this season and played 433 in two of them

We've literally played a double pivot with a number ten/second striker in every game

 

[Seathestars]

Bit of a wizard this lad.

How are you getting all these on the pitch exactly? Not sure you've thought it through.

I’d imagine Rohl will eventually look to take Gana’s spot, and Dibling will compete with Ndiaye this season.
