2025/26 James Garner

[Mozza1987]

Had a very good game tonight

 

[Nymzee]

Well yeah I'm hoping Rohl is back, Tim Iroegbunam don't rate but maybe? KDH looked a bit lost in the CM role. We've got Gana who runs for 2 people in the middle so we might be better off having a passenger in midfield than full back. Like I said though I really don't want to move Garner but we can't have this again, I think teams are going to be very interested in how West Ham got in behind us.

Nah Tim’s had his chance now for me. He struggles badly in a midfield 2.

 

[N0L1M1TK]

Comfortably our best CM by some distance too.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Bit worrying isn't it. O'Brien's done a decent job the last 12 months but week on week he's getting more and more exposed.

 

[EGWToffee]

Along with Keane our best player again. The most consistent on the pitch week in week out

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

He needs advice from Jack on how to build up his legs!

 

[Lanolin]

Didn’t think he was great tonight to be honest, some good stuff but enough bad to balance it out I thought. He’s been much improved this season though so even when not at his best it wasn’t awful.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Thought he had a great game. I didn’t see much wrong at all. And he’s tough. I love his grit.

He’s certainly a Moyes favourite. Quality player

moyes just wants to keep the shape

when garner was down, it was Tim told to warm up.
why not tell garner to stay deep and put on alcaraz

 

[Sharpattack]

Don’t know what game you people were watching but the guy is a crab.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

He is, what he's always been. He doesn't want possesion and won't drive it forwards. He will keep things tidy whilst never finding a killer ball or carrying it. That's fine if you have plenty of outlets like when he was in the England U21 set up but we don't. Him and Gueye are a midfield black hole in possesion building up play. His set pieces have improved though.

 

[Swartzy]

I love grealish, but Garner has always been my man..

Dyche tried his best to ruin him, but the lad is just quality..

Kills me how long people have been saying get him right back/midfield

 

[Osamabindiesel]

He is a very good crosser and looks comfortable at RB. I think we need to use him as the stopgap. The O'Brien experiment hasn't panned out.

 

[Nymzee]

If Keane and Branthwaite aren't back, then he will have to be RB since Coleman and Patterson aren't PL standard.

Problem then though is do we go KDH/Gana in a 2? Will Rohl be back?
