2025/26 James Tarkowski

[SJB]

Thought he had a decent game today.

This place always has to find a negative in a positive.

I thought he was back to his usual self after a shaky start to the season, had a good game against Bournemouth and backed it up with a decent performance today.

Sometimes I should just go to bed instead of just reading 'one more' comment.

Just to bed mate. It's not difficult

Are you referring to the headbutt on Gallas?

Yep, it was obviously more serious and obviously more violent but it's in the send ball park. I forget on hear how completely unobjective most Everton fans are. Most didn't even think that horrendous follow through Tawks did in the derby was a red. If someone did what he did yesterday to one of our player we would be baying for blood.

 

[heatmeiser]

that puish may have been a red with a bad referee insane - doing it too much IMO

How many times has he been sent off for us?

It's almost like he knows exactly what he's doing and all us non-professional footballers should go "oh ok, fair play"

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Stupid. Just in case the VAR wants to get in the spotlight. Just because it wasn’t “reviewed” doesn’t mean they didn’t watch and re-watch it. Means they watched it and didn’t feel it worth notifying the ref to get his input and stopping the game.

We are always told it “evens out over the course of a season,” which it never ever ever feels like for Everton with crazy handballs, penalties for accidental toe stepping, 3 match bans for teammate handbags. So let’s just move on.

Sexual inadequates everywhere mate.

I remember the massive issues we had at CB before he signed,he settled all that down.

Solid,reliable and won't allow our players to be bullied on the pitch..he's our inforcer.

I love him,me.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Just seen a Forest fan claim the reason he went down holding his face despite being barged in the back is because he probably banged his teeth together due to the brute force of the attack.

Crikey. Some forensic analysis there.

Before him we were so short of that kind of character. We had no 'natural leader' in the team. Then we went out and signed two club captains in him and Coady. It was massive.

It feels like a lot of people really under estimate the work he does. He's always talking; to the ref, winding up players, putting team mates in their place (literally in the case of Keane).

Grealish does a similar job but we need to seriously think about who will replace him in that respect going forward.

 

[Houghty19]

Played well yesterday but his push on whoever it was (ndoye?) was just stupid and if var could make recommendations on yellow cards he would have got one which would have left him treading on egg shells the rest of the game.

Never forget..forest fans are 100% gold plated SCABS..

 

[f.t.r.s]

Love him but his antics are starting to get noticed now, maybe tone it down a bit before someone goes looking for a headline and sends him off

He's done it his entire career. He gets away with it because he knows what he's doing

 

[Drago]

He's a bit of an idiot at times, isn't he?
