2024/25 James Tarkowski

[Ged G]

Today was poor but he’s generally better than that. My biggest worry is that he seems to be more rash this season, he’s done quite a few challenges which were too hard and where I would be mad if the opposition were tackling our players like that. He needs to rein it in.

Correct. But I like him. We have many others well worse than him. At least he's up for it. Some others aren't bothered

 

[Ged G]

He’s had some bad games recently, but he doesn’t deserve some of the comments posted here. He’s been a good, committed player for us.

Correct. Agree

 

[Ged G]

Playing O'Brien over Tarkowski would be madness.

Agree. "Be careful what you wish for" is the phrase that comes to mind.

Passing has never been Tarks strong point!

He does describe himself as natural "ball playing central defender", and only credits the "no nonsense side" of his game to Dyche when at Burnley!

Wow. His self awareness is as shaky as his positioning.

Just watched that Chris Wood goal again, he just jogs right by Tarkowski's face. I'm not sure I've ever seen something like that. Zero awareness, focus, effort.

Same. It's like he's gone for a wander in midfield and left his CB partner and fullback to deal with a striker and winger.

It's just odd. The goal comes out of nowhere like he thinks they won't play it long.

2nd goal is equally poor for him, Doucs and Myko

Havertz spearheading an attack? I call pure Arsenal Fan TV BS.

 

[blulouie]

What is this ?

Flekken ???
Gvardiol ???
Havertz ???

Pretty crap team that

A CB dropping off the age cliff in his early 30’s is wild

 

[maccavennie]

Was he injured or did he go on strike after Dyche got sacked?

Or simply rested?

This is what I’ve been wondering. Maybe an opening for Jakey boy if Tarks is sulking.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Can’t see him sulking. I can see Keane going but not Tarks really.

Might be interesting to see who takes the armband for Moyes.

Didn't Dyche pick the team?

Pickford I reckon
