Garnacho has a big big future.
His workrate has been phenomenal too. Lots of tracking back and tackles to win the ball back.
His immense work rate is what caught my eye when I saw him play a couple of times for the youth team.Damn this kid is class. Working his socks off.
I'd agree. I normally don't get hyped for academy players as I think all of them (except MG) have been pretty rubbish over the last decade. Garnacho is the first one that I think looks really promising and has bags of potential. Zidane may be another but its a bit early to say yetA bit selfish, but probably the best talent out of the academy in the last 5 years...apart from YNW.
It’s so important that side of his game. He will be huge if he continue doing that. Also very pacy and tricky. And we know he can shoot.His immense work rate is what caught my eye when I saw him play a couple of times for the youth team.
Every time that scenario occurred I was just telling myself "just imagine that is Jadon Sancho on the ball instead". Realistically we probably should have had 2-3 goals from the positions Chong got into.The only mistakes he made in the first half were passing to Chong.
Garnacho plays on the left, Antony plays on the right.Forget Antony and let's make use of this lad. He's got the raw abilities and works hard
Deffo.Elanga out on loan with Garnacho with the first team for me.
Yeah lets loan out our only RW backup. Garnacho is only effective on the left.Elanga out on loan with Garnacho with the first team for me.
Would be a very wise decision.Elanga out on loan with Garnacho with the first team for me.
Id be amazed if we didn’t add another attacking player. Fact is Elanga isn’t good enough at this moment and needs games to develop.Yeah lets loan out our only RW backup. Garnacho is only effective on the left.
I really hope we do.Id be amazed if we didn’t add another attacking player. Fact is Elanga isn’t good enough at this moment and needs games to develop.
Based off today he looks a tighter dribbler than even a younger Rashford. And quicker than the players who have the control with the ball while running that we've had, like Sancho. The first half he looked like he could burn the Vallecano RB every time he got the ball.I think some people took his lack of time in early pre-season negatively but I always viewed it as Erik needing to see the other players and make decisions on their future's whereas with Garnacho its certain he will stay and develop around the first team.
He surprised me today with just how easy he got past the opposition defender, the step up looked like nothing to him. I'd say the last to do that was Rashford. The game did suit his style today though, lots of space in wide areas to run rather than the tighter areas where he's not yet as good. So as much as we should be excited we probably need to temper expectations a bit too.
Seems knee jerk, but today (and his play last year the few games I saw) was enough for me to have him as our 3rd winger after Rashford and Sancho, with that really being 4th choice for the wide spots since Bruno can play wide with Eriksen as a 10.Garnacho at least deserves to be on the bench against Brighton.
He is a direct player. He can play across the front three.Seems knee jerk, but today (and his play last year the few games I saw) was enough for me to have him as our 3rd winger after Rashford and Sancho, with that really being 4th choice for the wide spots since Bruno can play wide with Eriksen as a 10.
None of the other wide players have been good enough for me to feel good about them. Maybe Amad if he'd played the entire tour on the right would have been, though. I'd like to see Elanga go on loan and see if he can turn into a bigger goal threat, though my guess is he'll stick around since he's alright defensively, hard working and does have the pace to get in behind. But he isn't the type of winger who gets involved coming short or infield in the game like the pseudo #10s do, and he's not the dribbler to take on fullbacks on the touchline either.
He pass to Chong because no one mark Chong and he is in good position. He should have known Chong would feck it up anyway though.The only mistakes he made in the first half were passing to Chong.
