2025/26 James Tarkowski

Getting a bit of stick here for using his physicality especially the wrestling matches he got into in their area

Just a thought
Maybe he's instructed to do this
If Moyes & his coaches didnt want it they could very easily stop it.

Horrible to watch mind.
Completely pointless. We never look close to scoring and if we do it would almost certainly be ruled out for a foul. Corners are always a lottery but Arsenal seem to manage to win the first header virtually every time and keep the ball in the danger area.

Point being is Tarkowski making that decision or is he being told to do it.

If thats the tactic its down to Moyes & his coaches and it stinks.

It what he's always been like. Completely needless free kicks given away at set pieces. It's just getting worse now though.
 
I shall take your uncharacteristic selective ignorance as an indicator that you get my point.

Tarks knows where the line is, and is an expert at not crossing it.
He should have been sent off at 4 times just off the top my head. The tackle on Richie was a blatant red. The tackle in the Derby was a blatant red. He did something earlier these season when the ball was off the field that was a blatant red and there was another over the top tackle a few years ago. Even the Spidey shoulder on Mbeumo was completely unnecessary and probably deserved a card. He's an absolute liability.
 
I love his snide and also think he has been a fantastic signing for us
Spot on mate state of some of the comments in here he’s been a boss player for us.

Laughing at the folk criticising him during corners the whole league does it so you have to play the game. Same people were probably moaning about us being a team of pushovers in the past :lol:

Meffs.
 
Exposed for pace by Ssesko on the goal who isn’t rapid by any means. He can’t play that high up. Tark by and large has been a great signing. But he has easily been our worst center back this season and remains undroppable for some reason. Great backup option but should be 4th choice cb at this point.

Just for the record, he hasn’t had a single red in a Premiership match. 10years.

He holds the record for the most yellows without a red.

As I say. Knows where the line is.
 
As captain he is setting the tone with this horrible snidey stuff. He's a good player, but he's cost us on numerous occasions this season. Not least when he tried to bend the rules with that penalty kick. It wasn't a penalty under the rules, but he was basically trying to take advantage of a loophole and it bit him on the backside. You need a disciplined leader as captain, but Tarkowski is just too wild for me.

What also makes his decisions recently even more dumb is that his ‘antics’ last night in the box for our corners, actually wasted valuable time!

It was idiotic to keep pushing the boundaries when we needed an equaliser, as every time resulted in the ref pulling him to one side for a ticking off.

Not having the snide stuff either. That was just plain dumb.

That’s the thing. You need a captain to tell him to cool it… but he’s the captain. He seems to have a bit of a nasty streak, which is great in certain circumstances, but he just doesn’t have the right mentality for me.
