2023/24 James Garner

[bluestevon]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh God.

Well, we have a crap manager, crap strikers, crap wingers, crap midfield, Tarkowski is not a top player, Jarrod and Jordan get rated, yet we still finished 12th in essence, no idea how really unless maybe done of the players get vastly underrated.

But laugh all you want Goat, the league has approximately 60+ Cms who played significant time during the season, top third is saying Garner is s amongst the top 20 or so.

 

[bluestevon]

Looks a top 3 mid for sure there.

Ermmm who said top 3 midfielder?

I said in the top third in the position he plays in this league.

Mate.
Go for a walk or chat to to girl or boy..
Analytics like this are for Stephen hawking

Married with two kids mate but thanks for the advice, always liked statistical analysis though.

 

[bluestevon]

Worth saying as well, first full season in the position, and what 23?

I don't think he will be world class, but if he keeps improving can probably get to similar level to the likes fo Cahill, Osman, Peinaar that were very good players for us.

Nah mate, it's GoT were every player is either crap or world class, nobody can just be a very solid player anymore

In this case I think that’s exactly what people think garner is isn’t it?

He's a very good all rounder, and massively underrated imo.

In terms of him kicking on it's small margins can make a huge difference in perception. Last season yeah he s used one goal, but hit the woodwork 4 times, probably the most in the league, an inch the other way he's sitting on 5 goals which given how deep we have our cm would be a great return. Again 2 assists - a poor return - his xA (expected assists) stat was 5 though, so again if our strikers could hit a barn door hed be sat on 5 assists, given the way the system has our cm another decent return.

All in percentiles for his position in comparison with the rest of the players thee in the league 84th tackles, 91st interceptions, 62nd ground duels won. 71st dispossessed (good btw), pass completion 59th, key passes 77th, crosses 88th, successful crosses 85th.

The metrics he drops below 50 in are passes (number of) successful passes, dribbles (amount), aerial duels won and dribbled past.

So the talk of him being bang average just looks wrong, on analytics he's a top 3rd central mid in the league and in certain categories one of the best (obviously systems skew certain stats)

Mate I appalled your time and effort to show all this but really it's just gossip. If you think Garner is top 3 midfielder in the country then it make the stats what I said gossip, because he certainly is nowhere near.

Our dead-ball specialist and completely ineffective.

The team plays better in my opinion when he’s in the midfield.

Agreed its a blow if he is out he's one of the few who keeps the ball. Doucs and Gana in there will be more chaotic. That being said if it is a grade one hamstring injury at least its a few weeks to the season then he should be back in a month or so. If we are going off the six weeks time frame.

Crap manager yes.

I like Jimmy G, but hes quite limited, whether hes in the top 20, I dunno.

We have some good players, massively under utilised by the worst manager in the league.

Whoscored rates him 30th.

I think thats about right.

Stats tell me this player cant defend.

Dunno depends if you just rely on one set of data Goat, if you don't then you'll see it's very easy to see he's an exceptional defensive player.

You see I dont need stats to tell me how good Rodri is.

As above, I like Garner, but he played beneath himself last season, I think he has more to offer.

If hes injured, its a big loss for this team.

I mean those stats don't show Rodri as an exceptional defensive player either.

Nah mate, it's GoT were every player is either crap or world class, nobody can just be a very solid player anymore

That’s exactly what he is, but he’s been better than Onana both seasons and people worship him.
