2025/26 James Tarkowski

Hahaha Unreal mate

2 teams with a better defence and they sit top of the league.
He's the Kingpin the leader of a mean defence.
Its not even debatable.

Dave? What the hell mate? Like 16 days ago, you were batting away praise for Moyes by saying he'd inherited one of the best CB pairings in the league. I have to assume this was in reference to Tarks and Branthwaite?

I doubt too many would agree that this defence is 'very good'. That's why most demanding a new RB and another LB in the summer...unless you think it's all good in those positions?

We play deep because the defence are slow and clumsy and cant be trusted...not even at corners can they be trusted anymore.

If you put 7 player constantly behind the ball then there's a fairly reasonable chance you concede just 35 goals.

Defensively, I think they're all pretty sound. It's the technical ability and attacking play of the full backs that is lacking a bit.

They're sound when they play deep. But that limits us in attack. The best defenders can play high and defend 1v1 against pace. If Tawks and Keane do that they get absolutely rinsed by even average strikers. They're good at blocking and heading away in their own 18 yard box though. But we don't want to play like Burnley.
