Not an Everton starting CMF. Not for me.
RB is where he can do a good job though, so that's where he'll get his games.

I disagree. He has pace and athleticism. He just needs experience.
He's a PL player in the making.

Which we can’t afford to give him in a relegation battle. Same as Tim, same as O’Brien. That’s how you go down.

I agree but I think he'd benefit from a loan deal on the continent next season.

I don't really see it like that.
He's had 18 months of playing at CM with some good spells of form and also a few poor games.
At this period there's numbers in CM so he isn't needed there while he very much is needed at RB due to the hideous recruitment and decision making in that position.
He played 5-6 games in a row for England under 21s to win a major tournament there.
End of the season Gana and Doucs will I'm sure be released and who knows if Mangala will justify being signed for 15m + so there very much is a long term position still in CM.
He's a good pro and team player so I think he'll realise it's needs must currently at RB.

He knew exactly how to handle Joelinton today, that's for sure.
He was composed and always looked to play out from the back if there was a pass on; overlapped to give Harrison an option; and...in what seems to be the first time in ages...we had a player at RB who got back behind the ball after an Everton attack broke down in the opposition half.
I've been saying it for ages about Garner: he's way more of an asset played on the right hand side of a defence than in MF; and he's certainly a better RB than any of the other pretenders we have who get games out there. That's because he's an intelligent player, and intelligent players can be put just about anywhere in a team and do a job.
He'll do - and then some - until next summer when we really must get a specialist in and finally see out the door Coleman and Young.

The cross for Doucoure was a beauty too. Shame he was offside.

It was brilliant. Pace and right into the space Doucoure was moving into. Just a matter of guiding it from that point.
It'll be interesting to see the extent of his attacking play when we play a team like Ipswich and we can afford to get him forward a lot more than today.
Think you’ll be waiting a while under Dyche.
Most of those things didn't happen, but you just saw anyone not named Patterson at right back so deemed him the next Cafu regardless
Can't wait for Tom Davies 2: Jack-of-all-trades Boogaloo. We should play him left back or maybe as a left winger soon, why waste this opportunity.

On this seasons showings only, our best RB. Mind you, our best performances right back last season came from Godfrey.
Tough call. I think if we went back to Gana and Garner sitting, with the current front 4 of them, we’d look after the ball much better.
If Myko was fit today and Young would have played RB, would have been interesting to see if Garner even played.
Can Garner become a decent PL RB quicker than Dixon? Probably?? I like him there. He has a wicked flat cross on him which is completely negated by playing centrally. Given all wide attackers nowadays play inverted (
), this is important.

At the very least we've now got a few options there.
The worry I have is that it becomes the default rather than us looking at a credible long term solution.
