James Garner Scout Report

In the current Premier League campaign, James Garner's performance as a central midfielder for Everton offers a mix of promise and areas needing refinement. His style of play leans heavily on progressive passing, where he shines brightly with a stellar rank amongst his peers. This indicates his ability to advance the ball effectively and contribute indirectly to his team's offensive flow. Remarkably, his assists per 90 minutes rank him near the top, making him a potent creator when he gets the ball, despite relatively few touches, further emphasizing his directness in attack. However, Garner faces challenges with ball retention and accuracy, areas where he notably struggles, often turning over possession under pressure – a crucial aspect to refine at the top level. Defensively, his prowess in winning duels is impressive, suggesting a combative and tenacious midfield presence, bolstered by a high ranking in interceptions and recoveries. Despite a subdued goal threat, his goal efficiency indicates a knack for capitalising on limited opportunities. Operating predominantly in the midfield third, Garner's activity reflects a traditional central midfielder role but one that flirt with the defensive third, banked on his recovering abilities. While his dribbling is competent, as a younger talent at 23, there's ample potential for Garner to elevate his overall dynamism and influence across the pitch, marking him as a fascinating prospect in this scout report.
