2023/24 James Garner

Yes, this is a great sign. A pro like Pickford - our best player - obviously has plenty of respect for Garner by that reaction - and probably knew he was right, too.
Completely, actually really liked Pickford’s response. To be a high performing team (which were clearly not yet) you have to have leaders on the pitch holding each other accountable
 
Today was proper James McCarthy season one for me.
Won nearly every loose ball and seemed to cover everything.
Most impressed I’ve been by Garner today. I reckon he has a pretty high ceiling. Dyche obviously loves him, he’s the main man in that midfield for me atm. Gana or Onana with him.

Shouts for who he reminds you of? Could be a number of box to box 1990's who could do a bit of everything
For me it's Paul Bracewell. Effective and efficient if not (yet) a direct goal threat. Real team player who can control games from the middle of the park and allow those around him to do their jobs. We need him and Onana to develop a strong and consistent midfield pairing
