How quickly we've forgotten Mangala, we need fit and able bodies, we also need fit and able cover. Need a couple of squad types to cover, is more mobile than Mangala, Garner came up with a goal saving cover challenge yesterday, he had to make it. Did.

It's taken 2 years for some to come round on Gana Gueye, now the same dissenters are demanding another deal.

You only know what you've got when it's gone.
 
So people need only 11 top stars who good enough to play in this team.
No place for team players anymore.

And the most annoying topic nowadays is G/A (goal and assist). It's just like you don't have opinion and don't know how to talk about some players at all.
 
Never actually rated Garner. I’m not sure what he offers at all. It’s weird because apparently he was brilliant for Forest on loan. Low and behold he comes to us and downs tools.
Yeah that's very confusing tbh. Was slotting free kicks in for fun at Forest. 8 goals and 10 assists in 69 games, versus 2 goals and 4 assists in 80 games for Everton. Actually his stats in terms of goals / assists per game at Everton is the worst in his career by far - bar a brief loan spell at Watford when he was 20. I personally see him as a slightly better and less annoying version of Tom Davies.

You know what it’s like - some Evertonians aren’t happy unless they’ve got someone to slag off.

There’s also an inability to see people as “ok”, they’re either world class or terrible. Think of the stick Leon Osman used to get for example.

Thankfully most people at the match get behind the players.

What are his strengths, to you?

He plays in midfield and does not contribute to goals and assists.

Or you think he is doing a brilliant job and is good enough at this level?
 
He seems a capable squad player for a bottom half side with ambitions of getting towards the top 10. He is versatile as he can fill in at Right Back if needed.

I suppose our ambition next season is to get towards the top 10, so for that reason, he may be a useful squad player to have for another season.

If we want to be challenging the likes of Villa and Newcastle or anyone around the top 6 after next season we need far better players than Garner. He is very limited and doesn't offer enough.
