Captain my Captain

On me kitchen table booing here in support

I was too until 10 seconds ago when it collapsed under my weight. I am now sitting on the kitchen floor booing my flab!

He’s great in the side, I wouldn’t drop him. Just don’t think he’s disciplined enough to be captain. I’m 100% happy with the team, apart from the obvious issues.. RB & Striker.

He's the best captain we've had for years. I love seeing him snap one of the opposition's players in half then walking over to the ref and flashing that "butter wouldn't melt" smile at them while he takes his telling off. His bond with Pickford is beautiful and the way he effortlessly picks up and moves any player trying to start a fight with any of our lot is hilarious.

I don't even get this to be honest.

He has been fine. Had a couple of moments like all players have but he has been perfectly acceptable.

Tarkowski’s bad days have always aligned with not having pace alongside him. When he has Branthwaite or O'Brien alongside him to deal with the speed merchants he is always 100%.

Tarks is a class captain, the kind you hate as an opposition but would love as your own

Ask United fans they say Keane, ask Chelsea fans they’ll say Terry - these aren’t nice guys to the opposition, they rough people up given any chance but they’re legends to their fanbase and Tarks is in that mould.

Also, that was never a pen yesterday, even the Chelsea lad next to Jags on Sky said nah.

With Coleman essentially a bit player, James Tarkowski has become the de facto captain of our beloved blues. Aside from his game play, I believe Tarko’s leadership and mentality is not strong enough for his role. His latest antics against Forest is just another example of dodgy reckless decisions that threaten results.

Is it time to make a change?

Who would you select? Is it time for Pickford to be given the arm-band?

Branthwaite - he just has to overcome his injuries.

Garner is a no, as he has enough responsibilities in this team.

The smash against Zirkzee when we won at Utd, just because he felt like it when neither were involved in the play was excellent, think he repeated it to someone in the game after as well, love to see that sort of thing.

Just restarting this. Still feel Tarko isn’t the best captain, almost gifted Chelsea a penalty..

I wouldn’t sell him, just would prefer Garner or another. He’s too reckless

How many red cards has he had in his career?

How many red cards has he had in his career?

Not as many as he probably should have.

I remember when he nearly cut an Everton player in two and we all wanted him jailed.

Arguably one of our best signings given the part he has played in keeping us in the Premiership.

Exactly. One red card in his entire career. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's far from reckless.

I remember that, on Richarlison? I was fuming. Now I love to see it

Hes the Richie McCaw of football. He tip toes along that line

In the Gareth Barry mould. Knows how far he can take it and manages it really well.

Both have been/were boss signings/players for us.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Should be the colossus that is Michael Keane.

 

[heatmeiser]

Materazzi was at the match yesterday.

Now HE was reckless. 3 red cards in his one season with us. I proper loved him though at the time, absolute nutter.
