The Everton Forum • Re: James Garner
Looks very comfortable in the middle, and has been an upgrade on Gana since he went out of the team. Gana won't get back in.
He is mobile and can do all facets of the game well. He moves across the pitch with ease and covers a lot of areas. Moving across the pitch is crucial in a Dyche system. So to have McNeil, Harrison, Douc and Garner all with huge engines being able to shift quickly across the pitch is very important.
He is tactically stricter than someone like Gana, who likes to roam more and have more freedom to press. Garner will do what he is told in a particular role, and he seems to balance the midfield in a much better way than with Gana in there.
And by the way, the football we are starting to play is so much better. Little triangles, one twos, and with a quicker tempo. A lot of credit can be given to Garner and Branthwaite in the way that they are calm and efficient on the ball.
