Re: James Garner
Basically because there’s no option ahead of him most of the time nowadays…. It seems to be the way in today’s game sidewards and backwards…..if our players don’t go sideways and do go backwards it’s then reverted to hoof ball up the pitch…Paddockoldie wrote: Mon Oct 19, 2026 5:11 am He's turned into square ball Butch, for those old enough to remember

Re: James Garner
Agreed. Our player movement without the ball is shocking, which invites players avoiding responsibility for doing something better, so they pass to another statue. The teams, who we play are always moving forward with quick passing, creating space.

Re: James Garner
When was the last time you’ve seen a third man run into the box from midfield….kdh on the odd occasion does it but the ball doesn’t arrive….last season I can remember at least 3 occasions at home when garner played the pass that led to goals…this season that’s gone….i think it’s the 4-2-3-1 system he continues to employ….
Now’s…after the first defeat…it’s the time to get the kids in dibbling Hackney George rohl….and let the game develop with movement and pace….

He’ll move for £80m in the summer, have a more defined role with better players around him, and look great. Probably.

Re: James Garner
80 million give over we have a guy on the bench who cost 15 million and if played would be better garner never looks forward when he has the ball always the safe sideways pass if there is little movement ahead of him which there isn’t he could look to play a give and go but he won’t his corners are brutal as well

He does exactly what the manager asks of him that’s why he’s in the team.Kerryblueboy wrote: Tue Oct 20, 2026 11:55 am 80 million give over we have a guy on the bench who cost 15 million and if played would be better garner never looks forward when he has the ball always the safe sideways pass if there is little movement ahead of him which there isn’t he could look to play a give and go but he won’t his corners are brutal as well

Re: James Garner
He's a good player in poor form, he's far from the only one but because he's clearly a Moyes favourite people are on his back. Zero reason not to be rotating the lad with Hackney sat off on the bench. Even Rohl and Alcaraz although obviously very different players
