I'd heard so much about Garner and had such high hopes for him, but I've yet to actually see anything that looks that great from him. Did anyone watch Garner much last season, and if so, did his play style look notably different?

Playing very well with CR7 and Eriksen.
I think Erikson has to start against Brighton
I think Garnacho must have edged in front of Elanga in ETH plans
Really close by Eriksen!
Seems like ETH wants to hide CR7's pressing by allowing him to work deeper and let Donny press higher up.
He’s a holding midfielder. What did you expect from him? He’s good and safe on the ball and covers defenders well.
Most involved i've seen VDB since he joined.
I like the way ETH has us playing
eriksen's absolute class
Ronaldos passing playmaking and vision has been fantastic. He plays so easily in this system.
Bit demanding from old Sven
He is not that great. He was outshown by Yates from the same Forest team in almost all the big games
Agreed
So close, Eriksen!
Need to have the police riot squad in there when idiots are not familiar with UK laws against flare smuggling.

Well done Ethan
It looks that way and Ronaldo has been busy trying to link up in a more direct way than Martial or Bruno would. It's a nice tweak.
Seen Eriksen charging up front at one point too (the intercepted cross from VDB). Looks like it may indeed be a general strategy to mix it up - either that or the second team just hasn't played with each other much and are just winging it.
Really was wondering for a few minutes there..
Theres been some really slick one touch passing that we'd never have dreamed of doing under Ralf/Ole
Eriksen has played well but our midfield has looked far too shakey.
ETH looking cool...
Ronaldo back on the flanks? His pressing from the front isn't great, but he still has the passing, technique and shooting to be quite effective. His goal scoring numbers might drop, but for the team, it might be better to not make him as focal to our attack
they'll say he''s invisible and doing nothing as usual even though he's broken up play plenty.I thought it was my screen that got too red, turned out it was that flare from away fans.
Isnt that flares are forbidden in UK?

That's better by Laird. Probably the best performance I've seen from VDB in a Utd jersey
Suit and those sneakers? Sack him.
Really like the look of Garnacho. Looks to make something happen every time he gets the ball.
ETH telling Ronaldo then
Hate the suit, trainers combo
Ronnie and EtH in intense discussions
A bit of a messy game
He’s only dropping deeper because no one else except Eriksen can even get on the ball today. Otherwise he’d be camped in the box looking for goals.
That's pretty much how it worked at Ajax, both "8" pushing up at times, makes it harder to defend against
Nice to finally have a manager who’s shouting instructions from the touchline, not sitting in the dugout for 90 mins.
I think so too. Plus we're too predictable when he plays as the 9. At least that's what I think
Because he usually is invisible. He's having a decent game, but we don't have to lie about his general performances
Now that they're taking a break Chong needs to take the opportunity to get his head together.
Can Rayo try an attack down their right hand side please, want to see Lisandro have to defend. Poor Laird must have annoyed someone in Spain.
ETH looks so cool ❤
