Would be a huge shame. Doucoure is ripe for replacement.He'll replace Mangala is my guess

Agreed. Replacing Doucoure is an immediate priority.Would be a huge shame. Doucoure is ripe for replacement.
With everyone fit he is one of our best 3, why would it be Tim there? I like the lad but he should be eased in and is definitely not a guaranteed starter.Has to earn his place in the starting line-up. With everyone fit our best three in the middle will be Mangala and Gueye with Tim ahead in the 10/second striker position. Garner will need to come off the bench and show that he can play one of those three positions better than the incumbent. My instinct tells me that he won't, and will remain a bit part player for the rest of the season
I probably prefer Tim in the higher up position (more robust and dynamic) and Garner further back (better distribution from deep). However I prefer Mangala over JG. So that's my reasoning, but just my opinion.With everyone fit he is one of our best 3, why would it be Tim there? I like the lad but he should be eased in and is definitely not a guaranteed starter.
Can see a decent amount of competition for the 3 spots but we're at a point where Gueye is also not a guarantee - we can't expect to see him pulling back the years every week, he's been hugely inconsistent for about 2 years now and I honestly expect a stinker in the next few from him, as it has been for a while (sadly).
Current setup is probably a trio of Garner, Gueye and Mangala, with maybe Garner in the slightly advanced role. I'd say we should play a creative player at #10 who can carry the ball though, so a duo of either of those 3 (4 with Tim) and Ndiaye ahead of them in the 10 is probably more positive-thinking. Or McNeil in the 10 if Ndiaye isn't available, etc.
End of the day, I'm just somewhat happy we have some options in a positionHope Moyes actually uses them and stops playing Doucoure altogether though.

I think under Cooper when he was on loan for forest he played advanced midfielder/number 10 role and was actually good in that role although this was in the championshipThe way you predict stuff Matty he is now nailed on to be in the no.10 role![]()
Don’t know if he’ll be great but I think Moyes will definitely use him more effectively. As he’s trying to make us more threatening in attack, all of the midfield players are going to be operating under different instructions from Dyche’s ‘defend at all costs’.Maybe some recency bias there and have completely forgotten what JG looks like. Maybe under Moyes he'll be great. But I think has to show it

Hopefully that brings out the very best from players like Garner. As long as he stays fit![]()
