Everton banter 6

02 Mar 2026 16:38:03
Anyone else think we might have made a mistake letting Chermiti go to Rangers? he's banging them in for fun up there and in spectacular fashion. Maybe he's found his level, but he's certainly found his shooting boots.

02 Mar 2026 19:52:49
Think he wouldn't make it in the Prem.

The mistake was not sending him on more loans to build his asking price.

04 Mar 2026 02:02:51
It's almost a Sunday morning pub league, so, yes, he looks good. At that level, most Premiership players would shine.

02 Mar 2026 16:27:19
Alright lads, well what a game that was eh. Got to be honest when it went to two two a lot of us were thinking bugger here we go again. Thank god for Barry's big backside eh. Finished off a lovely day where Ndiaye showed just how good he is, seemed to feed off the Newcastle supporters having a pop at him, and Gordon got slated by them for pulling out of a tackle near the corner flag.

Also big shout out to Branthwaite not only did he score, but on the odd occasions Micky got beat he was there to sort it.
Need to see this now at HD against Burnley. McNeil was ok but think we should play George at home need his pace. Have to be aggressive from the off and maintain it for the full ninety. COYBB?.

02 Mar 2026 12:10:49
Right after an excellent weekend we get to go again tomorrow, think the lads will carry on from Saturday and we get another win, hopefully get above Brentford looking forward to this game.

02 Mar 2026 16:31:03
It will depend on team selection, GB. Gana looked tired and could probably do with a rest. Remember, we are the home team. We need to go at them from the off, and maintain it for the ninety, mate.

02 Mar 2026 19:49:40
There will be changes, I'm sure, mate.

02 Mar 2026 07:59:44
I could get a team in that league to 40pts it's a very very poor standard I said it a couple of seasons ago if forest can get up to 4th or 5th in league with the crap players they have then anyone can. The league is terrible and the teams are terrible.

02 Mar 2026 09:51:42
The standard isn't great, mate, I agree. I mean, just look at Spurs right now. My mate, who is a mad Spurs fan, is seriously worried about their chances of staying up. It would only take Forest and West Ham to put a couple of wins together.
Even the so-called top six are not exactly tearing it up right now. I just think the league has been ruined by greed, from owners and players alike. It's all about the money now, and supporters just have to get on with it.
I read an interesting article about the German league and how they have kept ticket prices down, as they value their supporters and like to play to full grounds.

Apparently they don't believe that they need to charge so much on gate fees because, in the big scheme of things, it doesn't make a lot of difference.
We're here, we pay through the nose to watch players throw themselves to the floor and play WWE in the penalty area. Or wait until VAR decides who is going to win the game.
Don't know about anyone else, but I don't need to pay £150 for the "experience" of going to the match. I want to get in, have a few beers, a bloody good moan, and sing-song, and then go home. UTFT!

{Ed025's Note - just put me down for the moaning Brass.. :)

02 Mar 2026 11:43:01
I can't believe what I'm reading. Honestly, embarrassing. You could get a team to 8th, yet how many managers have tried and failed? But they overlooked you. I give up sometimes.

02 Mar 2026 11:48:11
I asked a few of my golf buddies why Premier League football (Soccer, as they call it) was not more popular in America. The universal answer is that it was too defensive, with very few goals being scored.

I tend to agree; we all want to see our team score, and moan when they don't. The problem is that managers and players just don't want to take risks. Passing backwards has fewer risks than taking on a player or shooting.

02 Mar 2026 12:08:07
Agree, Bluepasty, very embarrassing, mate.

02 Mar 2026 13:18:13
Show them this weekend's scores, Mike. It was a goal fest this weekend, mate.

I do agree though, the league and football in general is nowhere near the level it used to be. It has eroded down to the predictable and mundane.

Give me back 80's, 90's and even early 2000's football any day of the week.

02 Mar 2026 13:50:44
I'll tell you what's embarrassing. We average 3 shots on target a match this season, 3 shots, £70 a ticket to see 3 shots. Playing 5 centre backs in one match is also very embarrassing. We fluke a few away wins, which is very, very lucky; otherwise we would be in the relegation battle.

I want Moyes out. Sick of spending £100s of my hard earned cash to go and watch the biggest pile of rubbish I've ever seen. Yes, I do think I could do a better job than some of these managers; they haven't got a clue. Have you ever seen Dyche's training sessions? My misses could do better than him.

02 Mar 2026 17:21:11
Whilst I am not getting embroiled in the above arguments in too much detail, I can't help but point out that suggesting that we have fluked a few away wins is nothing short of nonsense.

We have the most away wins in the league since Moyes came back and are only 2nd to Arsenal this season, so I would say it is more than a "few".

Away results at United, Forest, Villa and this weekend were all deserved and certainly not a "fluke". Whether they were secured in attractive fashion is an entirely different argument.

02 Mar 2026 16:00:26
If you actually spend your money on going to the game then you'd realise us fans are well behind Moyes as our manager and still sing his song from the stands. He's doing better than the past 6 or 7 managers but you can do better than the lot of them yeah?

02 Mar 2026 18:11:05
My New Year's resolution was to count to 10 after reading posts like this and then not getting involved. But.

Your obvious hatred for the manager has skewed reality for you a little bit, judging by the OP. As BN points out, "flukey away wins" is not the reality, is it? Since DM came back, we have won 42 points away from home.

This is bettered only by Arsenal, with 45. You know, the team that's clear at the top by 5 points just now.

There are plenty of things that could be levelled at DM, but getting lucky away from home every time we win isn't one of them.

02 Mar 2026 18:44:55
I have been to every home game this season, and I never hear Moyles' name getting sung from the stands. It's the complete opposite. No wins at home since early December, and it's now March. The fans around me in the stands are cracking up. I bring my misses and 2 kids, it costs a fortune, and it's really, really bad.

Fair play to Moyles, he sets the team up well away from home and we have been fortunate to pick up points. He deserves credit for that, but that's not enough for me. The home form is unforgivable. We produce absolutely nothing, and for that reason alone he must be sacked. It is simply not good enough.

{Ed025's Note - Moyes sets the team up very well away from home Dino because the onus is not on us to make the running, counter attacking suits us well mate with the players we have at our disposal but i must admit the home form has been nothing short of shocking..

02 Mar 2026 18:48:21
It's that bad at home. My kids are starting to ask me why we keep going back.

02 Mar 2026 19:50:48
Unbelievable Strewth.

01 Mar 2026 19:43:36
On the bases that we all have a right to are opinion, my opinion is that Dibling s best position, is on the transfer list, and, if we get lucky, we might get 1/2 our money back, provided they have not been to any of the games he's started.

01 Mar 2026 19:54:56
We don't want to get our money back. He was bought in to be used sparingly at first as DM, as stated from the off.

01 Mar 2026 19:56:55
Well, that's positive?

02 Mar 2026 12:03:11
Makes no sense, GB. We spent 40M on a young kid who we plan on only using sparingly, when we could have spent the money on a right-back that we have needed for years. Add the 8M that we paid for Aznou, and we could have got a good right-back.

02 Mar 2026 12:36:26
Every transfer, whether it be a player from abroad or from these shores, is a gamble. We all know next to nothing about Dibbling or how he has settled after moving up to Merseyside.

Is he homesick? Does he train well? Does he not turn up to training some days? Does he not listen to his coaches/manager when training? Does he like a tipple? Does he look after himself properly?

As fans, we only get half the story.

We can speculate, but that still gets us nowhere fast. Sometimes it just takes time for players to settle. Maybe we will not see the best of him until next season, when he's got a pre-season with us under his belt. I've said it before in here, Baines was similar when he first came, and the management had to be patient with him until he was ready to be properly integrated into the squad.

02 Mar 2026 13:32:22
Solid post as always, BP.

He has certainly not impressed since his move, mate, but I refuse to believe that a player that looked as good and exciting as he did last season could just suddenly drop to the level we have seen in a Blue shirt.

The way he has been handled, in my opinion, is simply p*** poor. Everybody knows that attacking players, more than any others, need to build up a rhythm and confidence, and he has had no opportunity or help to do that.

He was given 5-minute cameos in very tough games away at Liverpool and City, where the game was all but settled. He was then given 45 minutes at home to Palace when we were without KDH due to suspension. The entire Everton team turned in the worst 45 minutes of football we have seen this season, imo, so it wasn't just Dibling at fault.

We didn't see him then until Ndiaye had gone to AFCON, and then he has been back out since.

Not only has the lad played a total of 348 minutes of football, he has also never done it when we have had our best players available.

He has come to a new club with a big price on his head. He is a young lad who it is no secret is very shy and quiet. I imagine it would help him if he could look to lean on the likes of Ndiaye and KDH in a game, as opposed to McNeil and Iroegbunam.

To reiterate, the lad has been absolutely uninspiring for us in the minutes he has had, but those minutes have been insulting 5-minute cameos, and with players that are nowhere near the calibre of our usual starters.

I personally won't be judging him until he has been given time to find his feet, build in confidence, and even potentially get the chance to work with a manager who knows how to get the best out of him.

Look at young Amad at United. Signed at the age of 18 for 20m from Atalanta 5 years ago. Got a handful of starts for them and did nothing. Was shipped out to Rangers the following season and then Sunderland. The lad is now a quality player and would get into most PL sides.

02 Mar 2026 14:33:06
We as humans all grow and develop differently. I, as a 19 y/o, was very naive and immature. It can be very scary suddenly being out of your home surroundings and safety net.
You have to grow up, and sometimes fast, when you join the big world.
In Dibbling's case, he's never really left that football school environment, but now he's away from his family and support; he's got a lot to get used to. He apparently is an amazing talent and will be a star.

We just need to give him time. Moyes knows what he's doing. He's an excellent man manager, and I suspect he's trying to push some buttons to get a response. It's up to Dibbling to show Moyes he's ready. Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. I envisage some minutes in games when we're comfortable, and if he loses the ball expressing himself, it won't matter, and 50, 000 of us groaning won't play on his mind.

02 Mar 2026 22:10:30
Bm, Cheers mate. I honestly believe that there is something going on with him behind the scenes, not football related. If it is a case of shyness or being homesick, then I'm sure we will be seeing a lot more of him next season.

As I've alluded to above, Barnes was very shy when he first arrived, which caused problems, but he turned out quite decent! Patience is key.

01 Mar 2026 11:48:52
In reply to poster below yes we all have opinions but I'm not sticking my chest or anything else out for that matter, but you cannot take it away from our Manager he has done really well taking us up to 8th place and 40 points by the end of Feb, that is nothing short of exceptional with the rag tag squad he has at the moment with several players in the Team not even average for the Premiership, so I'm more than happy to give him a couple of windows to see what we can do, maybe you should ask the West Ham fans if they are happy with their current manager mate.

01 Mar 2026 13:06:38
It was a collective, GB, not you individually. But, as I said, if myself or anyone else think DM should go, we have that right, just as you do to want him to stay. If he loses two in a row, I'll come on and say get him out.

I won't say, "Oh GB, do you still want him in?" That's all. So, instead of coming on to point out a win, maybe just enjoy it, instead of using it as a stick to beat other posters. Fair enough.

01 Mar 2026 13:25:40
Given our current position and the fact it's only been 12 months, he's done wonders. He's earned another 12 months to try and sort out the squad (and try and win us something) - that is only fair to the guy. However, there are a few glaring issues that I feel need to be fixed if he was to stay for longer, GB: - RB, LB and Striker. That's the shopping list, has been for a while, and it should have been sorted long before now. You could add RW, but given he spent £45m last window, you'd have hoped that was no longer an issue. - Playing players out of position, even with alternatives on the bench who can play in that position.

- Making subs well past the point where the game is lost. - Not giving the youth a run out. - Second phase ball tactics. Hoof it up front and hope is not very interesting to watch. It would be nice to get some decent players in and to play some football. Oh, for a plan B or C to adapt having games. Feels very one-dimensional sometimes, and if we concede, there's nowhere to go but for that horse more. - Home form. If he manages to turn all that around, name a stand after him once we win some silverware.

{Ed025's Note - all valid points BR, as i say we all have our own opinions mate which we are entitled to, that does not make us wrong or right..

01 Mar 2026 13:31:19
Yes, Moyes has got us to 40 points and 8th place. However, let us just deal in facts rather than opinions. We have 24 points from away games, only second to Arsenal, I read. That means we have 16 from home games. Since Moyes became manager, the club has either spent or agreed to spend in the future much over 100M and has really used Dibling, Alcaraz, Rohl, or Aznou.

We are not the ones who will decide if Moyes will continue after this season, and it will be interesting if those who make the decision will want to continue with the style of play, the tactics, the reliance on certain players, the amount paid for players who sit on the bench, and the lower number of points accumulated at home versus away.

{Ed025's Note - all very fair points Mike, a lot of has to do with age and expectation i feel mate, us older ones have seen the great sides and yearn for the old days when we were one of the very top teams whereas some seem to think mid table is a realistic place for us to be, i suppose that comes from our recent troubles and fights against relegation, i just wish we were a bit braver myself..

01 Mar 2026 13:57:18
Agree, lads, but I stand by what I said. His achievements at Everton have been excellent, and out of any managers that would have been available, who would you bring in? Some were saying Howe, but personally I think he will be the next manager for the chop.

{Ed025's Note - to say he has been "excellent" would depend on how high you set the bar i suppose GB, not being in a relegation fight is a step forward of course but for me we could and should be a lot better mate..am i being unrealistic?..maybe..

01 Mar 2026 14:19:53
That's the million pound question, GB. I don't know enough about the football scene to answer that. I'm very much 'better the devil you know', given how things have been since Moyes last went. I just hope we don't turn to another Allardyce, Dyche, etc type.

01 Mar 2026 14:30:48
I think, when the summer window comes around, he will be given a substantial kitty, no more PSR and all that. Get rid of our bang-average few players, and then see what he can do. I think we owe him that after what he has achieved, mate.

{Ed025's Note - just playing devils advocate...some may say that he he has the final say on recruitment yet most of the players brought in do not seem to get a chance so do you trust him to spend any money wisely?, and that £12.5M per year salary means we dont owe him that much mate, as i say all things are debatable..

01 Mar 2026 14:36:45
So come on and moan about losses, but don't come on to celebrate a win. How about we can all come on and post whatever we want, and if you don't like it, don't read it. No one's forcing anyone to respond.

{Ed025's Note - spot on JB..

01 Mar 2026 14:48:33
Well, if he does stay, he has to change and play new players. Leaving them on the bench and stating that they are not ready is not good enough. We have needed a right-back and a striker, and maybe a left-back, for years, so those positions need to be addressed during the next window. These are facts, GB, not opinions.

I hope that he stays. He has done much better than Dyche and previous managers, but he has become too narrow-minded, he needs to broaden his tactics, otherwise we will end up a mid-table non-entity, which may be better than the last number of years, but it is not good enough for supporters who remember the glory years.

{Ed025's Note - Nil-Satis-Nisi-Optimum..

01 Mar 2026 14:50:21
I just think he's the best man for the job. It's my opinion, but the table doesn't lie. I'm well chuffed where we are at this moment in time, in 8th place, and, as I say, I feel David Moyes should have a couple of windows to prove himself. He can be even better.

01 Mar 2026 15:46:52
No more PSR (and all that) isn't quite right. I think it may have been the CFO (not certain) that said we are getting there, but we still have to be careful.

01 Mar 2026 15:52:42
Agree, Dms. I keep asking, but no one on here can suggest a manager who could do any better than our current one. 40 points and 8th by end of Feb is really good, in my opinion, mate.

01 Mar 2026 15:53:20
Our spending power should improve season on season now. You'd also think we're likely to lose a few big earners off the wage bill in the summer (Coleman, Gueye, Keane and a few more, probably) .

Recruitment has been mixed: some hits and misses. All the fans know we're short in a few areas, and there'll be no excuses if we don't go out and sign 5/6 quality additions.

01 Mar 2026 16:00:20
That's my thinking as well, JB.

01 Mar 2026 18:10:41
What has he actually achieved? Have we won a cup and I've missed it? So far we have won nothing, have qualified for nothing. But we are safe from relegation, so he's achieved the same goal as the last two managers.

01 Mar 2026 18:30:41
Not yet, BMD, but at 40 points and in 8th spot we have a very good chance of getting into Europe. Did our previous managers get anywhere near that? I don't think so.

01 Mar 2026 19:53:44
Alardyce.

01 Mar 2026 20:00:44
Makes me wonder why we ever got rid of Martinez. Didn't he have a better record than all of them that followed?

01 Mar 2026 21:34:06
Moshiri arrived, all the blue eyes developed dollar signs, and someone flew a plane.

01 Mar 2026 22:16:24
Martinez's only fault was his defence. But, who knows, had he been given more time, then maybe he would have sorted that out. New owners, new ideas, complete balls up.

02 Mar 2026 22:12:38
Bmd, using that same logic you could say much the same for Moyes now. Just swap defence for attack.

03 Mar 2026 16:25:57
Not really. Martinez teams were good to watch.

01 Mar 2026 10:45:18
My opinion has not changed after yesterday's result. I am over the moon with the result, but that is one game. Moyes has stabilised us and for that I am extremely grateful, but he seems only to be planning for his next game and not planning for the future. Dibbing, Rohl, Anzou, George and Armstrong are the future. I am not saying they should all play every game, but they need to be integrated into the squad to get them ready for next season when hopefully at least a third of the squad will be moved on. The message we are sending out now is that regardless of your ability you will not get into the first team.

What message is that sending out to future transfers and current players. If I were a young player and I had a choice of clubs to move to I would think twice about joining Everton whilst Moyes is at the helm. I am hoping that now the 40 point mark has been reached Moyes will give these players a chance, but I am not confident that he will. If Moyes is with us next season I would like to see him giving the younger guys a run in the Cup competitions if he is still as stubborn as he appears to be now.

01 Mar 2026 13:05:55
If he planned for the future this season, and we were fighting relegation, would you be happy with that scenario?

01 Mar 2026 14:05:57
You are assuming that if he gave these players minutes, we would be fighting relegation. No one knows the answer to that, but surely, given our home performances and the loss of points, giving them minutes could not have been any worse, and who knows, we might have won a few more points. Building their confidence and experience can only benefit everyone.

01 Mar 2026 18:12:51
Exactly, Yam Yam, but that doesn't fit with some people's rhetoric, mate.

01 Mar 2026 19:25:41
Thanks BMD, was starting to question my sanity. I was around for the Harvey, Ball, Kendall days, and my expectations are maybe a little higher than others. It's not that I can't see progress, it's just that I feel we could be doing better with what we have at our disposal.

It's as though we are playing with the handbrake on, or worse, throwing it into reverse. Yes, our squad needs improving, but we have talent already that is not being used.

01 Mar 2026 20:30:01
Guys, we have better players than a lot of people think. This "getting rid of deadwood" line really annoys me, as some of the so called "dead wood" play every week. Age is catching up with them, and so changes will have to be made. However, we already have players to replace some of these older players. They just don't get game time. We have shown at times that we can play slick passing football, but too often we settle for the long boot up the pitch to no one. And it's this tactic that annoys supporters. On Saturday we were playing really well, then when we went 2-1 up we sat back, and the inevitable happened.

Supporters see this and question why we don't just continue playing and dominating the game, and this is not the first time that has happened. Fortunately, we managed to sneak a win this time, but too often we have dropped points using this tactic. Still, win one and everyone thinks Moyes is the man. Lose and he needs binning. At the end of the day, it will be down to the owners to decide. Until then, we will carry on disagreeing, game by game.

01 Mar 2026 09:24:51
If i say a player is bad and you don't why is your view more relevant than mine, why does it upset you if I say I'd like a different manager and you say no I like this one are you an oracle that I should listen to, football and life is about opinions and that's what makes it interesting, beto and Barry are tripe but when they score tap ins are they better, nope, moyes is marmite wins a few loses a few but don't be sticking your chest out when he wins one because next game he'll probably lose fs the oneupmanship on this page is more irritating than everything else combined on a side note mon the hoops.

{Ed025's Note - i think i just posted similar BB...without the "mon the hoops".. :)

01 Mar 2026 09:47:53
Great minds, Ed.

{Ed025's Note - i have never been accused of having a great mind BB.. :)

01 Mar 2026 10:15:15
We seem to go round in circles with this one. It could equally be said that it's irritating that fans are called out for celebrating wins or being pro Moyes. Each to their own. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. I'm neither a staunch Moyes fan nor calling for his head. He has managed us to 8th in the league in February.

We could play more attractive football; the negative tactics in some games are frustrating. Why people feel the need to score points off each other when we all support the same team is beyond me. Great result. Need another one against Burnley before a difficult run of games.

01 Mar 2026 10:38:41
It's the same with all supporters, I did get mad at some comments, but we all have our own views on players, managers, it's all part of the footballing banter. If you look at all the fans in the summer saying we should buy this player, that player is crap, he's better, but if you take a look at a lot of the players who some were saying we need aren't even playing regularly for their teams, nobody really knows. Every player you take a chance on, unless you're paying 70/80 million, and then it's not a guarantee. Take a deep breath and let it go over your head, that's what I do.

I mean Moyes has come under a lot of negativity, but we are only behind Arsenal on points earned away from home. If you had asked us when Dyche was in charge we would have bitten their arm off to have a manager to get us up to 8th, but some and myself have asked the questions sometimes. Fans easily forget what players have done, what managers are doing. Look at Gordon; he scored 4 goals in Europe and was booed off yesterday. Mind, I didn't mind that, but you get what I'm saying. One week they're the worst, next week they're their hero.

01 Mar 2026 12:17:20
Why it's good to suck it in, have a lie down in a dark room, and dream about 'when I'. Alternatively, just take a rest now and again. Just popped in to say, Chermiti, what a goal, no scrums at corners, how refreshing.

01 Mar 2026 22:10:08
I hope I speak for most blues, if not all, when I say I will celebrate every win or even last minute equalizer no matter who is managing or playing for Everton FC.
Yes I have opinions on the Managers selections, subs, in game management etc., and players but no matter who represents our great club they will have my support.
Moyes like some of our players, have limitations and me or anyone else pointing them out is our prerogative.
Yesterday was great performance and result but a blind man could see McNeill and Gana were more of a hindrance when the score was 1-2 and needed replacing.

Moyes made the change and the equalizer came but we regrouped and got a winner, thankfully. And what made it even more enjoyable was we got another winner when Pickford pushed that thunderbolt onto the post, what a save, last kick of game and at a ground that absolutely hates him, Roy of the Rover stuff and I loved it COYB!

01 Mar 2026 09:17:56
Just wondering if thise fans still are finished with Moyes and his tactics?

Im not saying I agree with his selections everytime, i'd like to see Dibbling given confidence, i'd like to see Rohl play more an Aznou given minutes. I think next season will be OBrien and Branthwaite at CB.

BUT, Moyes knows how to manage a Professional football team/club. None of us do.

Do I think he is the best manager ever, no, will he need replacing, yes at some point but why the rush? We are 8th in the league, 8th!

From yesterday
Pickford- absolute worldie save at the end
McNeil, Beto and Barry, 3 of the worst player ever according to some were integral to the win yesterday.

Basically, think some folk need to stop being so hysterical and overreacting when we lose, because we will lose games, and be bit more patient and realistic.

Would i love a 20 goal striker? Of course but so does every club.
Most pundits and 'experts' think Moyes is an excellent coach. Shame a lot of fans can't see it.

{Ed025's Note - in the end BB its all about opinions, it seems that Moyes is Marmite on here but in the end you cant tell people how to think, the thing is that we all think we can do a better job than the manager and thats just how it is, choice of players, formations and style of play will always be subjective and for me thats fine, the fact is that TFG will decide on the manager mate and i can live with that..

That pretty much sums up my views as well, Bb in particular, the frustration at not playing the youngsters he was involved in signing.

Ed - The only time I mentioned how 'I think' people should react is being a bit more sensible when we lose. And that's ok. And, sorry, no, I don't think I could manage the team better.

{Ed025's Note - i suspect none of us could BB but we can at least try mate.. :)

I agree with comments about the 1st team youngsters, but why doesn't Moyes give them some U21 games to build some proper match fitness, and try to get some confidence. Rohl supposedly impressed everyone in training when he joined. Anzou came on against Sunderland and was our MoM, and changed the game for us. And Dibling is talented, but needs minutes to progress.

It is only when you get to watch a player time and again that you realise how good they are and if we are to build a team around a player it is Dewsbury-Hall. The lad is always looking to make things happen and if we can find clever footballers in front of him he will find them plenty of times.

Definitely Bobslad. Watching him week in, week out, all I can think of is where we would be with better strikers feeding off his attacking moves.

Agree, he is an excellent player.

Think he is a quality player, but he is not a 10 for me, Gents. He is not cute enough with the ball. His through balls rarely ever got a blue shirt. Not a criticism, as he does most things right, but I think even he would admit he is better suited a bit further back, so he can put his stamp on the game a bit more.

I actually think Garner is the best 10 we have, and he has only played there once, against Villa in the cup. Come to think of it, he is probably our best player in most positions - what a player!

Has to be Garner.
