Agreed. I don’t mind mixing it up, but they just need to be quicker getting it out wide and not letting the other team get set.

Do you think he’s better than Leon Osman was?
I don’t.
I think Osman would be our best central midfielder if he was around right now, and that includes Onana. And I never massively rated Osman.
Our central midfield is cack tbh, badly bottom half cack!

Garner surely now has to either be played as part of the midfield three or at right back, think the 3 games at right back he showed more than young and myko have done
Was never an Osman fan as I thought he was lightweight. I do think Garner is a lot better. I do agree though that he would be an asset to this team.

Different players and Garner is still young if give him a run in place of Gana or Doucs

Dyche is outdated
Osman also looked terrible when he got shunted onto the right wing btw, which did happen a lot in Moyes’ first couple of seasons.

The difference is that nobody was going wild about Osman just because he was capable of making a forward pass.
Garner is okay. But he’s much closer to being a Besic than a Barry, and I don’t think he’d get a game for many, if not most, of the other 19 prem clubs.
I completely disagree with this, don’t think they’re anywhere near similar types of player and I think he gets in plenty of teams in the bottom 12 of the league. He’s definitely not the problem in this team, well shoehorning him onto the right when we have wingers sat on the bench certainly is but that’s on Dyche and not Garner.

I agree that there are greater problems, but I disagree with those that think Garner is going to be some kind of answer to our problems.
I think he is quite similar to Besic in style, and also in being ridiculously overhyped, but my point was that he is much closer to being a Besic than a Barry.
We agree that the bottom half of the league is his level / ceiling. However, I’m not convinced he’d be nailing down a first team spot in central midfield. I mean, he can’t even do it with Everton.
How??? Besic was a headless chicken that ran around and fouled people, and couldn’t pick a pass or shoot to save his life. If you think Garner is in any way a similar type of player to him then you have never watched at least one of these players play football.
He can’t nail down a spot in our midfield because our manager is a moronic dinosaur who’s won 10 games in his last 58 in the league.
Second half Luton were fighting and trying to hold out the first time in their history that they had a lead in a prem game.
It was different tactics when they had their half time talk and they dropped right off , if garner was playing centrally from the start then it may have been different .
Also you could see that Beto and DCL had no idea how to play together and were making the same runs and jumping for the same balls
This,
I remember years ago some pundits takkkng about Scott Parker and why he couldn’t get into the England team.
It’s because he used to take a touch or two before passing… they said at international level you have to know where it’s going before it gets to you or at least play an easy first time pass to keep the ball and more importantly, the opposition moving and not giving them time to adjust .
