2025/26 James Garner

[Walken]

Jimmy needs to make a statement Sunday and relegate spurs

 

[NathDogg]

Laughable he hasn’t made the cut, on his adaptability and versatility alone, ideal for tournament footy.

The jarhead is a clueless manager.

 

[ToffeeScot]

Came just a bit too late for him coupled with our poor end of season form I reckon. If he was in one more squad prior to when he got in I think he'd have made it.

 

[Moomin]

No Gibbs White????

But Henderson

 

[MACCA75]

Some garbage in that squad like Quansah, Spence, Burn, Henderson, Madueke.

I think Maguire, Hall, Wharton, Palmer, Gibbs White, Garner, even Harvey Barnes can be disappointed in that.

 

[Neiler]

Worrying thing about squad is all bar Toney and Pickford in niche positions have played for the PL CL teams.

Players be looking at that if Tuchal stays.

Anderson is a metronome in possession so is a really good selection for tournament footy, all I'd say is I don't see the 'far far superior' stuff that we are reading here, granted I have a small sample size, but that size includes Garner looking better twice in a head to head. I wouldn't swap Garner for Anderson personally.

It's a competitive area and at least from my view Tuchel has made the worst selection possible of the bunch.
Rice is a given in the middle, outside that it's between Henderson, Mainoo, Anderson, Garner and Wharton.
Whenever I watch Wharton I'm very impressed. Garner is a different style, hard working, legs in midfield and can do a bit of everything.
Anderson is a decent player but flatters to deceive in my opinion, I would say the same for Mainoo - both are a bit overhyped. Henderson completely past it and just a joke to be included.

 

[Swartzy]

He'll be at the Euro's and not this 'Farce Trumptonian event'

Feel for him, Deserved his place, but I never really expected it.

More than half a dozen who don’t play for PL CL teams?

 

[Eggs]

…..not a big fan of Tuchel or of England but I think I’ll just wait and see how they get on.

The best team isn’t necessarilly inclusive of the best players. Roger Hunt was nowhere near the quality of Jimmy Greaves yet played in the World Cup Final. England had that Golden era yet couldn’t find a blend. This manager is doing his own thing, he’ll be judged on the outcome.

Disappointed for Garner but not disappointed for Everton that he’s not selected.

 

[Brisan123]

No players in that squad from the outgoing PL Champions?

Can't be right, surely.

How many English players play regularly for them
Curtis jones ??

True can only think of Joe Gomez, but they usually got at least a token call up just because.

Shows how far they have fallen when they aren't even given that.

[Nymzee]

Moyes says he's not too surprised at his omission because of the clubs form over the last 5-6 games.

Play or played for - if your confused what meant by played for.

European experience seemed to be most telling on the marginal calls.
