Been shaky this season imo, but no doubting the contribution he's made to us since he's been here, and glad to have him around longer.

Bit of a mad stat that. The next will probably be something like "Mo Salah has done more last-gasp interceptions than James Tarkowski" or something.

Football ramble podcast from a few days ago when they mentioned underrated players said that before Dyche got his hands on him, James had the most dribbles all year of any CB in the league he was in at the time. Interesting “sliding doors” moment for his career if he had got a manager who was more Pep like.

This lad could be the next Antolin Alcaraz.

What is the precise definition of a "dribble"?

He's ear to stay. Good lad.

Successful dribble: The player beats an opponent and keeps possession of the ball.

It's when I only shake twice before putting it back in my pants.

Does he wear steel toe caps? His passing is abysmal.

"abysmal" ? That is way over the top. I recall some excellent passes from him.

Can't take that seriously. Keane & O'Brien (at CB) were both better than Tarks. The ones making this poll mustn't watch the games.

O'Brien was deffo not better

We would have been relegated a couple of times in the last few seasons without him, short memories some of you.
He's not setting the world on fire, but he's the main man trying to organise O"Brien and Mykelenko who have both been woeful.
It's no wonder he's struggling.

Correct. Love it when people actually watch the game and see what is actually going on.
