I see the odd nice turn and decent retention of the ball. Right now I just think he lacks the personality to really impact a game. We have a few players like him who would have really benefited from coming into a decent side. Must be hard to have a big level of responsibility when you're still a junior member of the squad.

People went on about Dobbin and Danjuma mate, Garner was my MOM, its not always obvious what he's doing, but what he does is very very good.

Hes quality.

Needs to be playing in the centre of the park, not wasted on the right hand side.

Agree find it stupid he is still putting him out wide right. I would have the lad sitting in the middle

Wasted out wide. Can’t understand why he has started there for the past two games.

Dyche thinking
- hmmm midfielder
- short at right back - can he slot in there for us?
- midfielder + Right back = winger!!

Garner is a prime example of why I hate Everton's recruitment efforts so much. They can't get a decent Right midfielder/winger so they stick a great young center mid out wide. Same thing that happened with Godfrey. They can't develop when they are placed in wrong positions and told to adapt. Put Garner at CM and let his talent flourish.

Agree would have him as the cm sitting infront of the back 4 as the lad has more of a football brain than the others. Has shown when played at rb can hold his position,

Garner in the middle, Dobbin on the wing.

Garner, 21, is set to join the Merseyside club for an initial fee of £9 million that could rise to £15.5 million. There is a sell-on clause included but United do not have the option to buy back the midfielder. -The Athletic

Shutting this rumour down right now to save you people some mental anguish.

Garner out wide is so Leon Osman

Effective player being moved out of their comfort zone and looking far worse because of it

He isn't a right winger or right midfielder he's a central midfielder and our best passer he needs moving centrally. Worries me that he's switched off not following runners when he's on the right it doesn't help that it's not his position playing him there is hanging him out to dry

He needs to start over Gueye and never start again at RM.

Onana on the bench for me.
Although Gueye can get exposed he his far more effective at the moment than Onana who looks like a passenger.

Either Onana or Doucs. Doucs needs to do a lot more will probably be kept in because of our lack of attacking weapons

Have Doucs start for me, but he has got to play deep get the ball in front of him and let him run at it, its his best attribute. Proper handful when he is motoring.
