Had a thrust lever (#1 engine) 'stick' at cruise setting on a Lockheed TriStar enroute VIE some years ago. First Officer was flying.
He looks at me and says...."ah, you want to do the landing?"
My reply was..."certainly not, you're a good stick and rudder guy."
He suggested that the engine should be shutdown, as handling would be more predictable. And he was absolutely right. IMO.
By the way, his total flying time (behind the pole) was 700 hours.
Proper training pays off, every time.
