James Garner Scout Report
James Garner, a central midfielder for Everton, demonstrates an impressive versatility, having played several other positions. Although his ball retention and progressive carrying and passing records are low, this could be indicative of a more conservative playing style, likely preferring to control the pace of the game and maintain a defensive stance rather than aggressively pushing forward.
Despite this, it's evident Garner does not shy away from opportunities, boasting a higher than average chance creation and success within aerial duels and overall duels, presenting him as a formidable force in skirmishes for ball control. Garner’s strength significantly lies in his penalty area defending, showing his effectiveness in protecting goal areas.
However, his goal efficiency, pass accuracy, and touches per game are areas that need improvement. He has a reasonably low goal threat which is unusual for a player with his chance creation percentile, indicating that he may struggle to finish opportunities. Additionally, his low touches could possibly point to a lack of dominance in games or being overshadowed in the midfield area.
Given Garner's age, this shows potential for growth, and catering to his areas of improvement could refine him into a more balanced, and competent central midfielder. His performances demonstrate a player who is comfortable in physical contests, competent in protecting the goal area, but needs to work on his contribution to the attacking phase of the game.
