He misses sitters. I can't remember the exact circumstances surrounding it, the highlights will show it when BBC Sport release them, but he had a fantastic opportunity this afternoon and he didn't even get a shot away, ending up on his hands and knees. A different system or playing partner can't change that. Aye they all talk shite. The fact his best form in his career has been seen when played up front with a partner proves nothing...

Plus he's 29 this year so will be tougher to change his style of play. Shouldn't have to change his style of play anyway. If Warburton wanted a striker to play in this style of football then he should have signed one instead of Garner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's shite; he spent the first four months of his time here wrestling with opponent's ankles and looking for a fight, then seems to have returned from injury a much more subdued, but equally poor striker. I don't care if he has none, one two or three partners up-top, that doesn't change the fact that he has missed simple opportunities in-front of goal.

PRW. 5,631 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 If we want to see the best from Joe Garner, we play 2 up top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valance1690 3,934 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Would like to see him tried upfront in a 4-4-2 alongside somebody with a bit of pace, Dodoo probably from our options. Will get more and more stick as the dry spell continues but gets some slack because of the effort he puts in Agree with the earlier sentiments though in the thread...doesn't fit Warburton's style of play, can see that from watching 20 minutes of the guy playing so how on earth the manager thought he'd be a good signing is baffling... That's not even taking into consideration the money spent on the guy... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never realised that for 1.8 million you were expecting a striker that never misses. Ever. I've seen even the best strikers in the world missing sitters for fuck sake.

What's he scored, three goals this season? He's awful. We, myself included, got behind him at the beginning because he worked hard and we appreciate that, but he's simply not good enough.

I know you're being sarcastic but it's quite possible that could be the case. We don't know what playing as a lone striker is doing to his confidence when he's so used to playing with a partner.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 He is starting to look as if he is not keen in getting into scoring positions in case he misses. Its either that or he is really, really bad at getting himself into good positions. That last effort where he ran in on goal, stopped a wee bit, and then just decided to lash it straight at the keep but got no real power, made him look absolutely clueless. I was right with my previous thread on him. He is pish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was like everybody else on here at the start , he looked as though he had something about him and got stuck in and gave 100% which will always go down well with the fans. Seen enough now to know he's like all Warburtons signings.......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, he's missed far too many chances for me and offered little in return for his £1.8M transfer fee. As I said, he was in an excellent position inside the box on Saturday and he didn't even get a shot away, ending-up on his hands and knees.

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Joe garner.. not good enough I'm afraid.. passes up most opportunities to score simply by being a poor finisher. Fair enough he scored a few goals in a season a few years ago but that is no reason to buy him. If he was a regular scorer for a few years then I'd say the system is to partly blame but he just looks a rubbish player. Be good in a royal rumble right enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
