Reliable is quite an exaggeration, given he tries it repeatedly and it only occasionally comes off.

His biggest issue is that his greatest strength, running with the ball, is something he's only good at with his head down, which means his end product is lacking as he has to guess where his teammates are.

We've seen him recently trying to run with his head up to see the pitch, but he's almost always loses the ball that way.

The fact he tries it repeatedly shows how his game is improving, before he would always cut inside and shoot. I think his delivery has been really good but Hojlund/Zirkzee make it look worse by never being in the right place. With a decent striker you should be able to put the ball into a good area and expect them to be there.

Trying something different with a low success rate doesn't show his game is improving, only that he's not very effective at multiple things.

Our strikers aren't the best for being in good positions, that's fair, but Garnacho's delivery is still erratic, as he only gets into the position to deliver the ball if he has his head down; if his head is up he'll either lose the ball or be forced back.

Another Assist tonight, add it to the tally for the season (14G/A) feels like he could of had a Goal or Assist in every match recently.

Sure he has a tonne to learn, but he is one of the brighter students in the class for sure.

A really good performance today I thought.

It looks like he put his head down, and accept he needs to work and learn and improve.

It will end up being good that he is for sale. Not only is he making himself more expensive, he's allowing to club to reject offers at will.

We stood our ground on buys with Dorgu, will do the same on sales with Garnacho.

He's our second most dangerous player. Selling him would be a mistake for a side that is so blunt in attack.
