Mate as much as someone might dislike Rashford, he is in a different stratosphere compared to Garnacho.He just doesn’t have it. Same issue as Rashford, not enough technical skill or football IQ. Get rid
He definitely is, Dalot has looked way better playing on the right recently as he did during ETH tenure.He might actually be thicker then Dalot
He looked a player long before thatPeople need to be patient with him. I still remember how shit and frustrating Ronaldo was originally for a few years. But, just after that summer and World Cup, all pieces suddenly came together for him to produce end product.
It’s why I don’t understand the relative refusal to give any of the academy kids/attackers a chance. Garnacho has dropped about a months worth of 0/10’s at this point, it’s not like a debut kid will do any worseHis pace is the only thing you miss if you relegate him to the bench, and we do seriously lack some pace. It's the one thing that's keeping him in the team.
I feel Amorim needs to get Mainoo and Mount fit (hopefully Amad back too) and Garnacho can be more of an impact sub.
This is surely a fecking wind upPeople need to be patient with him. I still remember how shit and frustrating Ronaldo was originally for a few years. But, just after that summer and World Cup, all pieces suddenly came together for him to produce end product.
FIFYNeeds selling
Agreed. He's offering so little at the minute, throwing a Moorhouse or Fletcher in there surely couldn't do any harm.It’s why I don’t understand the relative refusal to give any of the academy kids/attackers a chance.

At bare minimum I’m very confident they’d make better decisionsAgreed. He's offering so little at the minute, throwing a Moorhouse or Fletcher in there surely couldn't do any harm.
Yep. Just don't run directly into defenders, try and move the ball quickly and forward if possible, and work your socks off. Not rocket science when standards are this low.At bare minimum I’m very confident they’d make better decisions

Yep, he's got a one track mind when he gets the ball deep and that's to carry it, regardless of the situation around him.Just a poor decision maker. I don't know how much of that iq improves with age.Weirdly the pass that pissed me off was the one he didn't make first time to Dorgu on the overlap and just decided to dribble into the space Dorgu was already in. He can't be 10 in this system, because he has feck all awareness of what's around him.
I could not believe my eyes when this happened:
He has to start as he’s the only 10 we’ve got with the ability to run in behind and stretch teams.
Hes been rubbish for a while now. Disappointing how it’s turning out for him.

In his defence right before he passed the ball Bruno suddenly stopped his run and changed his direction. I can understand that Garnacho didn't see that coming. Furthermore Garnacho couldn't have passed the ball as Bruno wanted, because it would have been blocked by the arriving defender.I could not believe my eyes when this happened:
I genuinely don't think he is that quick either. On the occasion he gets in behind the defence he always gets caught up.His pace is the only thing you miss if you relegate him to the bench, and we do seriously lack some pace. It's the one thing that's keeping him in the team.

That is dreadful. But. On this replay I'm now wondering what the hell Bruno is doing checking back on his run to move backwards? No wonder he was on the stretch to receive the pass.What's crazy is, that was not his worst play of the half.
Yeah that was odd. Credit to Zirkzee though. He made the perfect to make sure Garnacho had two options.That is dreadful. But. On this replay I'm now wondering what the hell Bruno is doing checking back on his run to move backwards? No wonder he was on the stretch to receive the pass.
Trying to create space for himself I think. Just not on each others wavelength.That is dreadful. But. On this replay I'm now wondering what the hell Bruno is doing checking back on his run to move backwards? No wonder he was on the stretch to receive the pass.
I can understand he slows down to create space between him and the defender but to start moving back towards his own goal is very odd.
Comparing them, at least you could point to the physical differences without much argument - Ronaldo was genuinely very fast, tall and had a good leap for aerial duels, which are 3 things Garnacho will never have. And certainly had to be considered a more threatening dribbler despite being frustrating.It’s possible that Ronaldo pre that World Cup was already better than Garnacho will ever be
I have no clue what has happened to him.
The sheltering our fans do for players just because they are from the academy is insane.He’s a 20 year old kid, playing in a completely new system, in a new position, in which he’s never played before, while being asked to be one of only two creative outlets in the whole team. All the while getting dogs abuse from the fans for trying to do so.
He’s a winger, he’s always been a winger. And a pretty traditional one at that. Very Ronaldo-esq. And now he’s having to play as a floating #10 and do things that he’s never had to do before.
The fact that we’ve also binned off our 3 senior wingers this season and brought in no replacements meaning he has to pretty much play regardless and has no shelter from poor performances doesn’t help either.
And for it’s worth, I’m not saying he doesn’t have issues, he does. Mainly his decision making. But those are things that can be learnt and improved in time. But the current set up, from squad depth to tactics is not helping him at all.
Agree completely.The sheltering our fans do for players just because they are from the academy is insane.
We’ve literally tinkered the system to allow Garnacho far more room to play wider and in space, compared to early days when Amorim first came in. He’s “getting dogs abuse” because he’s dropping genuine 3/10’s over and over while doing a Sunday league CR7 impression. In fact the team around him is actually playing far better in the last month or so and much of our struggle in matches is down to him and the attack in general cocking up every good passage of play we manage.
He’s a senior player on his third season with huge amount of experience, and so far all we’ve seen in terms of development is that he’s better cardio wise, while everything else about his game has taken a step back and he still fluffs the same opportunities he did as a raw 18 year old coming off the bench.
There’s no need to keep coddling him as some hatchling just getting a taste of senior football at this level. Otherwise you just end up repeating his age and assuming further development will come until he’s 24 and it’s finally apparent he’s actually just a bit shit as a player, instead of the mega talent too many seem to have labeled him as. Blaming fans for being pissed off with a player who’s been playing terribly game after game is just misguided.
I’m all for patience as long as there’s a road map and genuine belief in huge potential. With Garnacho, I don’t think his potential is that big - he’ll be a good ish player - and he doesn’t suit our system either. Feels like a decent time to sell. Would be fine with him staying too as long if were confident he can learn to pass the ball and stop making bad decisions.People need to be patient with him.
