2022/23 James Tarkowski

[Del-boy]

Passing was absolutely abysmal, don’t know where his head was at today
Defended fine but often defending against his own mistakes

Agree. However he has no movement ahead of him to pass to.

Good job... if he can't hit a standing target then duck knows where the ball would end up if you expect him to play the ball just ahead of a moving target.

Shocking

Doesn't mean he has to pass it to a lad wearing Red though

Bar the brainfart I think Tarkowski has been far worse

Yeah let's ignore the mistake that actually lead to a goal and put the blame on a player who wasn't at fault for a goal. You should clear your lines every time in the position coady was in and I can almost guarantee you that tarkowski would have done.

Far from tarkowski's best game. Caught out a few times and his passing was very bad in the second half when Liverpool afforded us more possesion. He's a fraction away from giving us the lead though and always recovered well from his initial mistakes. Needs to be a lot better on Saturday though

He looks like a previously relegated 30 year old yard dog centre back.

 

[Wrighty]

utter garbage last night, him and Coleman easily the worst players on the pitch by a mile and he didn't even seem bothered.

Tarkowski does what he is good at, and what we can expect. He wins arial duels, tackles, blocks, etc. However, he is helpless when exposed in 1vs. 1, and when he has the ball. The same can be said of Coady. Not quite sure what Lampard was thinking when he brought in these two centre-backs, wanting to play expansive football.

With those 2 centre backs you either need a low block or your midfield to win the ball further up the pitch so they don't get exposed. We were overrun last night, but that's no surprise it happens every year.

Of course he was bothered. What a stupid comment

 

[Rodebaard]

I've watched quite a lot of non-league football in my time. But some of those passes in the second half...wow.

 

[lungo]

Thought he did OK considering.

Our biggest goal threat. Yes I am being serious.

He is our biggest goal thread but on both side of the pitch. Clown defending like the stuff he did against Brighton. Really not premier league standard!

Smiling and laughing every time he F'ed up a pass doesn't really help does it.

He’s been crap majority of the season. He’s made loads of last minute blocks and it’s covered up for countless pathetic displays.

Grimacing maybe?

We seem to jump to these not bothered conclusions all the time.

He is not smiling because he is happy!
