Is James Garner Everton’s most divisive footballer? Why does a player who clearly possesses much talent divide opinion among Everton’s fanbase?
The midfielder has established himself as an important player under David Moyes with many strings to his bow, however since joining the Blues back in 2022, the former Manchester United man has yet to display his attacking qualities, having played 84 times, scoring only two goals and notching four assists.
Compare that to his loan spell at Nottingham Forest in the Championship in the 2021/22 season, he scored four goals and provided 10 assists, which contributed to the East Midlands club’s promotion to the Premier League.
While Garner has shown glimpses of what he can offer, he is het to convince many Evertonians he can push on. Everton manager David Moyes will no doubt be hoping for more from him next season.
In other news, Everton have moved another step closer to finalising a deal to bring Villarreal forward Thierno Barry to the club.
Join Ian Croll and Connor O’Neill as they discuss the latest news coming out of Everton Football Club.
