2023/24 James Garner

[Blast_of_Cannock]

One assist in his Everton career so far.

So he's one of our top assisters then.

 

[Magnifico1988]

Like him, would be better served in centre mid instead of gueye, wasted out wide. Imo

 

[StDomingosGringo]

I’d love to see him & Onana given a run together. That’s got to be the plan with Gana being an option for tougher games rather than default starter.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Put him in the middle and drop Gueye

That always looked like the plan. Start Gueye for a year, transition over to Garner this year. If Gueye had more left in the tank than expected or Garner was slow to develop, pick up the option.

 

[Furey1878]

Put him in the middle and drop Gueye

Yes

He's trying his best out there on the right but needs to play in the middle

@Weebarra here is the Garner thread

 

[Bilko]

I thought he was desperate tonight, and I like the lad,but his weight of pass...really poor , just was clumsy and laboured for 90 minutes, looked no different to the Rovers players,but then, most of them did. Hope it was one of those nights !.

 

[Stoffee]

Thought he looked lost in a midfield with 0 structure....that's on dyche for the setup...but he did himself no favours.
Looked decent at rb....better than Patterson, probably starts there at the weekend

They barely even tried to go down the right second half. When they did it worked. He would get shredded by PL wingers.

 

[AirMo]

He didn’t look decent at all at RB, that’s the anti-Patterson thing coming in. They got down that right hand side virtually unchallenged in the second half, more than the first half.

 

[MACCA75]

Can see there is a decent footballer there but not sure where best to play him. Probably on the right of an actual midfield 3.

 

[Davideeyore]

I thought he was shocking in the first half, must have lost the ball/gave it away the most.

Been saying for a while the midfielders we have would work better as a 3.
The problem we have though is our FB's suck. The space out wide, that that would leave would be a dream for other teams to attack into.

 

[hashbike]

Needs a run at right back. Has good crossing ability and with Beto up front, could be a weapon

Nah if we had 3 midfielders then we actually have a spare man to fill the space our FB’s leave. It’s an easy solution to our ongoing problem. Because we play with 2 we can’t risk 1 of the disappearing to cover.
