2023/24 James Garner

[Walken]

Attack.

Here's you calling me and others a clown for discussing post match comments



... and this, my response - is apparently an "attack"



'Attack'.

Behave.

You continually fabricating and claiming untruths.



... so after all that, you agree players criticising fans is unhelpful/unwise. Got there in the end.

Lot of strawmanning there unfortunately

Best I don't reply mate, next you'll be claiming death threats.

Hoofball creates more chances than Garner.
Rarely tries a decisive pass.
For all of Onana's fault, he tries to play forward, to see runs and make passes.
Garner at the moment does not.
Jarrad Bowen and JWP create more and they play with dross the level of our players.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Also If I remember rightly he was booed for killing a break by not knowing where anyone was when he received the ball so cut back and played something safe.
He needs to up his game and shut his fanny-parted mouth.

 

[Delargeinho]

The best thing he brought to the team when he come in was passing forward. To have a centre midfielder who actually looked to progress the ball.

I think he's doing it less at the moment - coinciding IMO with a fall in form.

The thing is though, the lack of pace in wide areas kills us. If we had attacking full backs, or pace on the wings he'd have more opportunity to pass forward.

We'd miss him if he wasn't there.

Set pieces are important in modern football, and it's good that we score from them, but we need to step up with goals from open play. Not a big fan of stats and xgoals, but finishing our chances is a bigger problem than creating them. We average 14 shots a game, around 7 on average in the penalty spot area, despite having low passing accuracy and possession. No coincidence that there are players of us in the top 10 chances created, big chances created and big missed chances per 90 minutes, as well as a team we are 5th. That's very worrying for a team that doesn't constantly try to attack. We need faster wingers who can take a 1vs 1 and have some good decision-making inside the box. I agree with full backs, especially Mykolenko should be allowed to attack more, he would get a few scorers a season. That helped a lot in the last 15th on Monday, as we suddenly had more options for the header extensions of DCL.

Not been at his best lately, mind you he is not alone on that front.

 

[Arteta2391]

Everton being a crap team is rubbing off on him lately

@Bruce Wayne

A good death would have done Joey the world of good. He'd have been twice the man.

 

[knowing your history]

I like him but he was very poor the other night, hardly any composure in his passing which is what his role in the midfield is compared to the other two starters.

Some were saying he was in contention for England squad, miles off that.

 

[the golden visionary]

He'll play well under big ange, another player not good enough for Everton but good enough for a top 4 chasing side

 

[degsy]

Does moor hoof = more better?

iirc, there was quite a long spell when it was Deffo 'more better' for Moyes & Jagielka

£20-25Mill is way too cheap though

 

[Tel001]

Maybe he should learn to pass the ball properly then the boos would stop, I don't know what these clowns do in training all week.

Practice corners and bleep tests I think

If we sold right now we would not get that. Which is why we will not sell now.

He's in his first year in the PL. He started well and has tailed off. He needs to revert back to his play earlier in the year, Onana will help with that.

Writing him off or calling him Tom Davies is idiotic.
