Where's Sarr and Deeney?

 

[BlahRules]

If he cant displace Cleverley, probably doesnt deserve to make it at United tbf.

Will be difficult if he is the captain.

 

[Mark Pawelek]

Played for last 20 minutes. Yellow carded on 88 minutes for a bad foul. Final score 0 - 0 leaves Wednesday on minus 8 points due to the points penalty they were 'fined'.

 

[Highfather_24]

Will be difficult if he is the captain.

Do they also have a "my captain always plays" philosophy?

 

[carpy]

Where's Sarr and Deeney?

Not sure about Deeney buy Sarr hasn't played at all for them this season yet. Looks very much like they're expecting him to move on.

 

[BlahRules]

Do they also have a "my captain always plays" philosophy?

Yes, him staying to bring them back into the EPL, he will be playing every game.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Starts tonight.

 

[Enfant terrible]

Sofascore rates his game solid. Didn't catch the game. Good performance?

very unlikely considering they lost to a league 2 team 3-1

 

[Bastian]

Anyone see the match?

 

[MadDogg]

I watched the first half. Watford were absolutely terrible and couldn't string two passes together. Garner probably gave it away less than most, but he was quite passive and the game passed him by quite a lot. Also completely wasted a freekick in a decent area by floating it so far over everyone's head and out that it was a bit embarrassing.

Hopefully things improve for him.

Early days and it is understandable to an extent. Worrying thin is if Watford completely fall apart and sack the manager like they love to, that can't be good.

Well that's somewhat encouraging.

That sounds promising so hopefully that means his second half was better. In the first half almost all of his passes were safe ones that didn't really do much except give the responsibility to someone else (like what his new teammate Cleverley used to do for us). Understandable for his first start, but we'll certainly be hoping he takes on more responsibility going forward.

Ok, thanks. I wasn’t trying to disagree with you. Just thought you’d be interested in the stats. Obviously watching the game gives you a much better idea of how he did than a bunch of stats. It does sound like they were brutal as a team. Which isn’t ideal for his development.

That's an understatement. It felt like most of them were so bad at passing the ball that they were better off just running with it instead, and surprisingly they quite often made some decent ground before inevitably losing the ball. It was very much their second team though (I think they only had one player that had started either of their league games) so hopefully Garner can break into their first team and they might play a better style.

That's a decent team for the Championship, although I'd be surprised if they hold on to Sarr. Can also see a couple of others leaving.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Playing against Luton it'll be interesting to see how he does compared to Fred/Matic against their midfield!

Nice to see he's got himself into the starting 11.

 

[limerickcitykid]

Went for all 3 of Garner, Cleverly, and Chalobah. Surprised by that, not exactly an inspiring midfield in attack. Good he gets the start though.

 

[Lash]

Obviously rating him highly, nice to see. Hope he has a good game.

 

[UNITED ACADEMY]

He starts too bad their match is the same time as United. But their line up has been bloody defensive. Although I like how they play Sarr & that Joao guy instead of Murray, more pace up front.

 

[Infestissumam]

good to see him get a full 90 already.

 

[King Andow]

Anyone know how he did today?

 

[red thru&thru]

Anyone know how he did today?

From what I've read, he done pretty well. Maybe he was decent, especially as he played the full 90 minutes.

 

[ariel]

Apparently he takes Watford's free kicks.
Good sign for him.

Hit a cracker to the bar. Would've been some goal if it went in

playing 90 minutes yet again, great sign.

 

[Bwuk]

Looking like this will be a great move for him.

Considering he was perpendicular to the pitch that's a great effort

 

[Kostov]

Anything else on his game? How did he do? I saw they lost.

[meamth]

Not bad, already looks like one of those "Why Manchester United wants to sign James Garner" videos.

Seems very capable of playing in Championship physically. Seems very hesitant, probably lacking confidence to release the ball faster.

If he keeps playing like this, won't be long before him becomes an important cog in midfield.

 

[#CR7]

Watched the game in real time and whilst he is tidy on the ball I would like him to be more aggressive in all parts of the game. He never really got stuck in or played any direct passes between the lines to make things happen. Overall good game but needs to try to be less passive.

I remember saw him tried it once vs Reading in first half and he missed way off.

 

[Red71]

From the video, it appeared to be a very decent performance from the lad. It looks to me as if he’s been told to come in and keep it simple to begin with. There was nothing too flashy in there but he looked effective enough and always made himself available. No doubt there’s plenty more to come once he’s properly settled in.

 

[Varun1]

Could he replace Matic? Wondering if he's the reason we didn't get anyone in Matic's position.

Hopefully it's just early nerves, I think he'll show more aggression as he grows in confidence, he's never been a shy player.

 

[Irrational.]

Starting today against Blackburn.

Well, at least now we know Billy Blaggs' real name.
