Awful. Hard to fight the nagging suspicion that he’s just not that good.

I don’t want to believe it either but I’ve rarely seen a players technique of striking a ball change as they develop. It’s normally something ingrained from a very young age. Yes players do become more prolific but that’s normally not by changing their ball striking technique. It’s more to do with improving their composure and decision making. Garnacho can improve is decision making but his flawed ball striking is a concern.
He can do my head in with his wastefulness in front of goal, but when you factor in how easily he dribbles past his full back every game, and the fact that he's only just turned 20, I find it difficult to be too harsh on him.
Infuriates me that he's seemingly the 'untouchable' one.
Most measured post here, among the madness.
Who are you watching?
Absolutely abysmal and I'm glad it was someone like Case doing it. Hopefully he listens.
Should be back to the bench for a game or two
He seriously needs to adjust his decision making and his attitude. The age excuse won't cut it for much longer. He is a regular with 100 appearances for the club.
Rashford was far better than him today. Prime Rashford was another level. Rashford at 20 was better too.
Yeah same, I thought Garnacho was clearly trying to do something special to win the game and due to that was ignoring basic passes that were better options. Maybe Ruud wasn't happy with Rashford or he's nursing an injury or something.
Not sure what you are seeing.
Should be coming off from the bench. He's more of an impact player to me at the moment.
His decision making is very poor
His decision making is very poor
The only issue i have with this is that even when he is good, his flaws still show. In his good games his bad decisions just work out better. During his good game one of his low xG shot attempts flies in when a pass would have created a higher xG chance for his teammate.
But like you said, the potential is there. I want him to make better decisions but i also know that someone his age is going to make the wrong decision often.
Criminal
Needs be taken out of the starting 11 for a few games, these performances can’t be doing any good for his development.
Pause it with 83:50 on the clock.
Tell me that's not almost certainly a goal if he passes it. Mazraoui > Zirkzee.
His greediness and shot options at times is infuriating and only right that other players are getting vocal is calling him out at that.
But to say as some are on here that he will always be this way is crazy , he is 20 years old , he has a lot of quality and also a lot of leaning to do as well.
There is still potentially a top player there.

Crucified for this but sadly it's still true, I don't see how he can be a winger for a team who wants to challenge for the league. You need a world class attribute and he isn't close to having one and I don't see any potential for him to develop one either. Post Fergie I think this club has been held back by favouring home grown players as it's in our 'DNA', if they aren't good enough they need replacing.
I’m not a Rashford but can’t really disagree with this.
You can only hope that Casemiro doesn't drop it and properly drills it into him.
Absolutely no doubt.
Firstly, that is way way OTT and uncalled for. Your speaking about a young player who is far from the finished article and to be calling him names, let alone that particular name is shocking.
Secondly, it takes more than just a coach. Ronaldo was an infuriating player in the early days, but as well as Fergie he had umpteen leaders and senior pros around the field who would eat the head off him for decisions half as bad as some of the ones Garnacho makes.
They could do it because they were walking the walk and backing up their harsh words with elite performances of their own.
When Garnacho looks around the field he sees guys like Rashford and Bruno doing the exact same thing and getting picked and paid a few hundred grand every week for it.
There’s a world class player in Garnacho, but unless Amorim makes huge changes, I’m not convinced his potential will be realised here.
Poor. Should've been replaced instead of Rashford when Amad was coming on.
Sorry but he's nothing like Ronaldo.
You can't just compare every young inconsistent player to Ronaldo becasue if it was that easy Ronaldo wouldn't be so special. He's got nowhere near the talent Ronaldo did.
He can barely dribble. Don't let him standing on the shoulder of the defender and then chase on to the long balls fool you into thinking he can dribble past full back. He rarely beats anyone when he's faced 1 on 1 with them.
Saw him dribble past James 2 or 3 times in the second half. This has been a theme in a lot of his games vs some of the best full backs in the league. He was one of the only wingers to give Ben White a tough game last season. His wastefulness (whilst frustrating) is often a result of him creating those chances for himself by beating his man.
He has literally no attributes that are even remotely close to world class.
If keeping Garnacho down to performance its mind boggling to me, starting to wonder if something is up with Rashford, can't remember when he last played 90 mins.
Sends the wrong signals to Gernacho(especially given age), that he keeps getting rewarded with starts and 90 mins no matter how atrocious he can be.
We agree for once
Enjoyed Casemiro telling him off. Rightly so!
I implore you to watch how Savio plays. I'm not even going to bring Yamal into this. He's 20 years old too and he's a miles better dribbler and decision maker already. Garnacho has nothing on him.
I think that should be his permanent position in the team.
Garnacho doesn't have the game intelligence to start games for a team who's aspiration is to compete top four.
His best season was in a team that finished with negative goal difference and 8th in the league.
Not saying he's a bad player but he's not got enough at this point of his career to be starting games regularly in the league.
Would have liked to see his reaction.
The problem with Garnacho is that he's seemingly playing for himself rather than the team. He's looking to be the moment rather than guaranteeing the win - and that's a terrible habit he's developing.
In one of the EtH post-sacking fallout pieces that came out last week, Luckhurst said this:
that will not be conducive of good team spirit and chemistry, if his team-mates start to resent him. Some of his choices were shockingly poor.
Nursing a injury sounds plausible. Something clearly is off.
Surely Amad gets a start on thursday.
Yeah, exactly. 20 is just not the same as it was 15/20 years ago. He may be 20 but he's now on over 100 appearances. Players are mature much earlier than they used to be I think.
Rashford was a miles better finisher and had pace to burn when he was Garnacho's age.
No way. He ain't getting dropped.
