2025/26 James Tarkowski

[AndyP94]

Poor today and his marking was sometime none existent, particularly that last goal for them.

 

[N0L1M1TK]

I acknowledge he was poor today but I do put a lot of it down to playing next to an utter fuckinf cart horse.

 

[Del-boy]

Thiago won’t have an easier game. Just played in between the pair of plantpots at centre back for us today.

Was he playing next to himself by chance?

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

That mistake for the 1st goal was like a light switch for the whole team to go into meltdown

Wolves up midweek looking for their 1st win Everton are that team

Thankfully they just beat West Ham

Strange how Tarks looks very good next to Jarrad and Jake, isn’t it?

Strange than MK comes in and we ship 4 goals…

Indeed, and not for the first time this season, giving the ball away in dangerous areas. I've rated him for years and think unfortunately he might be nearing the end now

First goal was tarks passing it to them and keane not watching where Thiago was

Too many brain farts from him this season.

Yeh because he’s played all season next to Michael Keane.

2 clean sheets when playing with JOB. Forest and Bournemouth away…

 

[Taifi gorm]

Keane is the consistent issue with defensive frailties.

 

[Gilbert..]

Bad day at the office. Today it looked like two Burnley centre halves. And two ageing centre halves at that.
14 goals at home now opposed to 10 away.
We need to invest in the defence that doesnt get so exposed when we're not sitting deep.

 

[Sharpies volley]

He gives the ball away time and again and has done since he signed. His whole game was dreadful today. But he always looks a far better player when he hasn't got Keane alongside him.

Villa clean sheet
Fulham clean sheet (Keane goal btw)
Man United clean sheet

What's your point, exactly?

My point is that Tarkowski has been plop all season, irrespective of whether Keane is or not. Keane's had an okay season compared to the rest of the defence. He wasn't great today. Doesn't absolve Tarkowski of his gaffes though.
