2024/25 James Tarkowski

[SLAVEN BILIC]

Keane’s gift wrapping a winner to Southampton isn’t he??

If it happens he won't be given the head or feet first option for how he leaves Goodison that day

In very much a season of two halves, mr consistent can feel hard done by for picking up a very time sensitive injury. Has played through minor injury when called upon and done so without so much as a grimace. When we were fighting for draws we had him so reliable, If push comes to shove I'd sub him on for the final 30 seconds of the game vs southampton and he can stand on the half way line. It is important the crowd get to thank him at Goodison one last time. Doucoure is often cited for a relegation defier (rightly) so this was in the scheme of it similarly important.

You don't go back to training after tearing a hammy after less than a week no matter what grade. I'm sure his season is probably done but what a pointless tweet.

 

[Blue Willy]

We’d be daft to play him again this season. Time to give Jake a run of games at centre half and Patto a run at right back.

 

[Hellerad]

I love the man. I’d give him my hamstring but he’d be worse off.

Yikes. It’s a worry when someone who never misses a game gets a bad hamstring injury.
We need to sign a really good CB in the summer, (and 2 if JB leaves), as I imagine they will get a fair few games.

Yeah he's 33 early next season so not ideal to be getting a bad hamstring injury, it's the type of thing that can lead to a player just totally falling off a cliff. Hopefully it's not that bad for him but it's something you'd hope the club are conscious of.

….surgery on a hamstring for a player not hounded by that type of injury sounds significant, I’d be fairly certain that Tarkowski will have recurrence of this for the remainder of his career, something we’ll have to factor into our plans going forward.

Contract expires June 2026 (I think).

 

[Titus Bramble]

A real shame... despite a few wobbles, he's one of our most consistent performers while he's been with us. I'm just glad it's happened now we're safe and not earlier in the season when we were desperate for points.

It's an opportunity to see how Branthwaite and O'Brien get on in the middle. Keane can get in the bin.

 

[Ged G]

A great pity. He has been huge for us. And THAT goal, too!

 

[MikeyMike]

Totally gutted. His goal against the RS, his leadership, his rock-solid defending, even his raking cross field passes - the man has been immense for us.

I thought he was indestructible, but it sounds like we need to be looking for a successor sooner rather than later.

 

[maccavennie]

Another long term injury to add to the 6000 long term injuries we get season in, season out.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Gutted for Tarks but if there’s ever a time to shift Big Jake to the middle it’s now
