2024/25 James Tarkowski

No, you probably should get to nursery where you belong. What a drip.

In big school now mate, nursery is for babies.

For all it's cathartic to see a Liverpool player snapped by one of ours, it was a silly challenge that he was lucky to get away with.

It could've been a disastrous night if VAR had seen that differently.

Absolutely as good as winning the league pal. I’ll take their heads rolling down Anfield road over 20 league titles.

Love JB & Jake both will go on to be super stars, certainly JB but Tarks right now is comfortably our best CB.

What a signing he has been.

A proper leader and a proper man. Proud that he’s our captain.

I’d love Moyes to look at going to a back three to fit them all in with two aggressive wing backs.

 

[davek]

He can win the ball, be forceful, even catch the man if he likes without putting in a red card tackle.

If he can’t, he shouldn’t be playing at this level.

The game is played at a hundred miles an hour. It's a contact sport. Do you think it's a precise science?

The ball was won.

End

Of

Story

 

[davek]

I bet he was touching himself typing that out.

Haha, what a melt.

If he can’t, he shouldn’t be playing at this level.

Yes, but watch the trajectory of the kick. He is getting rid of the ball as much as possible. He wants to make sure the ball is cleared, the ball was in the air when he made contact and therefore his kick meant his leg was rising upwards.

Go down to a pitch and recreate that without following through in an upwards trajectory. While trying to absolutely make sure the ball is cleared as far as possible. If he went in half hearted, knowing that there is a possibility that contact will be made with a player, there is a chance that he messes up the clearance.

I was also shocked that Neville was so adamant that there was no mitigation. I would hazard a guess that he has done a similar act a hundred times over and there is no doubt that if he was sent off for that he would be apoplectic with rage.

 

[tommye]

Haha, what a melt.

Drip AND melt.

Fierce.

 

[Mark Bisson]

Bad one and should've been off.

He always has that slightly reckless aspect to his game and gives away a good few penalties with that trait.

Him and Branthwaite one of the best centre back pairings in the league, he has been a superb signing for us.

 

[Eidean]

Macalister made that a 'reckless' challenge.

Tarkowski got the ball. End of story.

Let the self-hating Evertonians who want to impress their Kopite mates that they're "fair minded' in order to earn a little pat on the head off them have their say. But they are wrong. 100% wrong.

It’s not though is it Dave & hasn’t been for years. Only one person 100% wrong here and it’s you.

 

[Marius57]

I don’t disagree that it should have been a red, but the PGMOL is a joke. The amount of game changing mistakes that they bend over backwards to deny, yet this they are straight out to say it was wrong.

 

[Ring master]

How is it when something is not right from their POV that they get an instant respone. were as we can wait forever or never hear anything about anything wrong v us (Everyone is they are honest know its a Red)

 

[GrandOldTeam]

People love a still.

But to follow on from;

Agree, if a foul, it's a red.



The defender is always winning the ball - get out the way.

If Tarkowski half arses it, he could come away injured himself from a lazy/late hanging leg/stamp.

A proper tackle, momentum took him through.

Tarkowski's leg has to go somewhere after connecting with the ball.

If he half arses it, there's a hanging leg that is never competing for that ball that lands on him.

 

[Bryan+]

Moyes has really unleashed a beast inside this fella since he has become manager.

Managed to boil the piss of millions of kopites inside two games.

Give him a ten year contract.
