2025/26 James Garner

[DualityNSNO]

Anyway as I wanna go sleep, Jimmy G is a BALLER and I'm hoping the new contract is signed but just not announced yet.

Bruno is a RAT and will always be a RAT.

I know this theory hasn’t taken hold in the PL still but it’s actually fine to build a team around the concept of trying to win 3-2 every week instead of 1-0. United are open because it opens opponents up too and they trust that they’ll win in those games. The players probably aren’t quite good enough for that still as far as winning the league goes, but just Mbuemo and Cunha has already been enough to show the promise in that philosophy.

Kevin Keegan tried this for Newcastle in the 90s. They got lots of foreign fans and made europe. The even went toe to toe with SAF and eventually lost then dropped off until Eddie Howe took over as manager.

They dont have many fans now because Newcastle brown ale isnt as popular anymore & normal football doesnt excite overseas fans as much.

Btw Amorim isnt intentionally opening up space. He's got no choice as hes fixated on a single system and doesnt have the midfield quality.

So hes stuck with one ageing player who is expected to cover the workrate of a lazy player. The lazy player is Fernandes who has been pretty dreadful defensively this season and so is incomparable to an all round midfielder.

 

[Drago]

One of the best in the league

Got some barmpots following us.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I guess we can add a couple of Brentford midfielders to last nights list

 

[pfim]

Wasn't good, tough to be when the players around you (Iroebugnum, Tarkowksi and Keane) were so dreadful.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Not the worst but far from the best today. Didn't want to know at times.

 

[Taifi gorm]

Starting CB not a RB

 

[maccavennie]

Completely overrun today but it really was him trying to put out fires by himself.

 

[dannyboy]

This is always my but with Garner. There are games like today where he gets completely overrun and you barely notice he's on the pitch.

 

[Pabbers]

Off game, but not helped by his midfield partner or mcneil at all, he cant do everything on his own.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I always rate him and he’s having a breakout season. This was his worst appearance this campaign.

 

[Miked1e]

England calls can stop for now then hey

 

[marsh]

Performances back to the norm, slow sideways passes.

 

[davek]

Needs to be put back to RB for Sunderland.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Quiet game tonight not one of his more influential games.
