2024/25 James Tarkowski

[pfim]

I think overall he has been quite poor this season. I think he has lost a yard of pace and he wasn't that quick before really.

He’ll be replaced in the summer. He’ll be 33 and I don’t think he has the pace that Moyes likes in a centerback.

Really disappointing performance from him today.
Needs to get that crapshow out of his system and sharpish as he'll need to be right on it Wednesday

I think overall he has been quite poor this season. I think he has lost a yard of pace and he wasn't that quick before really.

At the start of the season, he was nowhere near his best and liable for criticism. As of late, he looked to have turned that form around.

Today, however, he was very poor and to blame for the two goals, and it could have been more if it weren’t for some luck.

Yes. But thats why EFC fans are mad. Keane puts that performance in they would have buried him. Tarkowski is a shocking player, who costs us a lot of points throughout the season

Yet we've kept 9 clean sheets this season with him at the heart of defence. He's hardly a "shocking player", that's just bedwettery.

Keane was given chance after chance for years and proved that he was an absolutely calamity. That's why he's hammered for every mistake, because he's earned that reputation.

Tarks had an absolute stinker today and he had a shaky start to the season but he's not yet a serious problem.

That being said I think O'Brien will play more at CB next season probably at his expense

We're running out of players we can blame for everything.

just blame it all on dyche

 

[Sharpies volley]

Nah that's not true, he is a fairly decent passer usually.

He had a bad game, wasn't helped by us constantly messing around at the back with a team who presses high up the pitch, it was asking for trouble.

I see him make at least one if not more really bad pass every game. Sometimes 3 yard passes

Lash Keane upfront?

Lash Keane upfront?

 

[pedro789]

Horrible, horrible performance today.

You've given away a penalty, it's less than 5 mins to half time.

Wtf is our captain and most experienced player doing playing that pass?

There's no upside to that pass.

Second goal killed us. Last ever cup game at Goodison is down to him.

 

[SJB]

An awful performance from him today. Keano was warming up very early on, wonder if Tarkowski was carrying a knock?

 

[Runub]

Has a lot of credit in the bank so maybe can be forgiven for having an off day, but that was a spectacularly bad off day

 

[Cels]

I'm not one to play the 'blame game' and single out individual players for criticism... but James Tarkowski is the reason we are out of the FA Cup.
