Someone asked if Garner was the best player we've signed from Man Utd since Kanchelskis and Blomqvist was a silly suggestion as the best player from Man Utd instead

He made such a good impression that I forgot my Jespers...Jesper Blomqvist

I must be as drunk as Gibbo, getting my Jespers mixed up
And more often than not he is off it.
Always gets pushed out of his position when Guaye starts somehow ?

I think this is the biggest thing for me.
Gana having a stinker means our other CM is essentially alone so whatever role they are given is pointless. Whether it's Garner, Tim or Armstrong the result is the same - their levels drop
Right he crossed the ball hit the bar - Garna, but the rest of his play was poor passed it to the hoardings twice - we had a good chance of a breakaway in the first half a yard to slow - he adds no balance to our midfield in fact I feel he unbalances it too much ....
For that 2nd half he was almost playing on the left touchline, in no man's land with Mykolenko 2 yards behind him, Gueye looking goosed in the middle.
An absolute mess tonight and all caused by Gueye coming in and everyone else then all night playing in unfamiliar positions and chopping and changing.

You say that as if we’ve been brilliant in all our other home games though? If it was ‘all caused by gueye coming in’ you’d have to wonder why we’ve been crap at home against Newcastle, Arsenal, Brentford, wolves, and Sunderland when he wasn’t playing really wouldn’t you? Garner has made good strides this season and has arguably been our player of the season so far but his best midfield performances have still come away when we’ve been very tight and compact, allowing the opposition most of the ball. He’s still struggled to impose himself on games where more is expected and you’re looking for him to actually dictate the game. It’s not always someone else’s fault.

He was definitely not. If you want to judge purely by assists then yes. But there were multiple times they were starting to break, and he single handedly took it on himself to sprint half the field and break up the play. His judgement if when a break is dangerous, and effort, is the opposite of McNeils and is underrated.
Most dont pay attention to it because its not flashy, and nothing comes from them having the ball.
His effectiveness looked somewhat hindered by Ganas return, he was dovetailing as the deepest man superbly against villa
