I'm probably in a minority of one in thinking Garbutt is still unproven. Yes he has a good left foot. Positionally he has a good brain. But against Krasnodar at GP he was easily turned on a number of occasions by their RW. Basically he was getting too tight to him and the guy was just quickly nicking it behind him and getting on to it with a free run down the flank.
I would say the vast majority on the forum would concur that Garbutt is unproven.
That doesn't make him better than Baines and Oviedo.He can take a corner though which is more than you can say for half our squad.

It is just a pity soccer ain't like American Football.
We could fetch Garbutt on every time we had a corner
Not that it would do us much good......Lukaku is no Latchord nor Jagielka no Mountfield when the corners come flying in.
Pre-season? I'm talking about a premier league game in late November!Well for starters Garbutt was injured too...
People seem to gloss over that and forget it. He was injured at the back end of preseason and didn't get fully fit until a fair bit after the Hibbo incident
If i remember right wasnt it against a physical team, made sense at the time instead of throwing in a kid on his debut who wouldve been targeted all day long.Pre-season? I'm talking about a premier league game in late November!
Garbutt wasn't injured, he was fit but only on the bench.
The left back spot to replace Baines went to a 34 year old right back with far more fitness issues.
West Ham? They're no more or less physical than anyone else. It was the West Ham game on November the 22nd, where Baines was missing through injury.If i remember right wasnt it against a physical team, made sense at the time instead of throwing in a kid on his debut who wouldve been targeted all day long.
He played the next game in better enviroment
I agreed with the choice tbhWest Ham? They're no more or less physical than anyone else. It was the West Ham game on November the 22nd, where Baines was missing through injury.
Everyone was expecting or rather, hoping Garbutt would be the one to deputise, especially as he'd already played games prior to this fixture and showed promise.
But no, Hibbert, our right back, was recalled from the treatment table in his retirement home for that one game.
As is your choice to do so, no problem with that we all have opinions.I agreed with the choice tbh
