2022/23 James Garner

[Nymzee]

Starts for England U21 tonight's with Gordon, 7.45pm KO.

 

[Rita_Poon]

So is he more David May or Nicky Butt?

 

[Ron manager]

Annoyed no comedic references to his actor namesake on this thread.

I'm so old

Wasn't May a defender.?

 

[buskwhi2]

Covers the ground well and comfortable on the ball.
Playing as the holding midfielder tonight with Gallagher and Ramsey given the freedom to play further forward behind 3 other attacking players.

Drops in intelligently when the right back bombs on.

 

[Nymzee]

He’s definitely a midfield profile we didn’t have.

 

[The Binman]

Wasn't May a defender.?

Yes.

 

[buskwhi2]

Bit surprised to see Elliott taking corners ahead of him. I thought he was some sort of set piece specialist

Have you considered that Elliott is a massive ego specialist though?

 

[buskwhi2]

Hit the woodwork with a header from a corner

 

[TonyT65]

Also still a Utd player according to commentary!!

….thought he was a bit ‘safe’, always playing the way he’s facing & rarely on the spin. Actually, picked up pace after he hit the bar with a fine header.

Looks like he needs the game to me.

I was surprised how much ground he covered, despite likely not being match fit. From what I’ve seen so far you can understand why we let Allan go , he looks a player who won’t win many MoM awards but will do a decent job in any midfield.

Yep. Definitely looks to be lacking match practice and fitness. Has looked a bit slow getting back at times.

Haven’t seen him play between the lines much yet but he’s been decent

 

[Nymzee]

Looks too easy for him out there.
