2025/26 James Tarkowski

[Swartzy]

The manager would possibly claim we've the best defence outside of the top 4.
The price for that is style of play.

How long can that claim hold out though, you could have the best defence in the country and go a season without conceding but get relegated on 38pts..

 

[Vaughan]

hes been great, but we signed him from a relegated burnley after we had narrowly survived relegation for a reason

needs dropping now to implement obrien and branthwaite at the back

or go to a 3 given our full back issues

3rd or even 4th choice by start of next season depending on how much we spend

Ok mate.

Lovely ball here

One decent pass in 6 years. The rest under hit, played straight to the oppo or booted long out of play. It's like you've never watched him play.

Oh I've watched him plenty. His distribution is fine. There are other weaknesses though.

 

[Neiler]

You need players that wind up the opposition and give no quarter, he’s ours.

Such low expectations. There is a reason we can’t play out from the back and he is a big part of the problem.

I’d sooner have good players. Don’t remember Yobo, Jags, Lescott or Distin needing to engage in such antics and they had a physical dominance that Tawks can only dream about.

We know you don't like or rate him & I seem to remember you did post after post a few week ago saying so, anyway, I disagree with you (see my post a few weeks ago).
You seem to have a 'bee in your bonnet' about him.
He's the latest scapegoat it seems.

I remember Tim Cahill at it all the time, loved him for it to.

You need snides.

 

[Benicetoourboys]

He’s been awful all season. He did a job on a free when we were struggling. But his limit is the bottom 5. Even at his best he isn’t a top half quality CB, and his best days are long behind him.

That's a load of old tosh.

16, 7, 15, 10, 17, 18, 17, 15, 13 - They are his Premier league finishes. Most of his career is in the bottom 5/6.

I don't remember him being particularly snidey. He did the occasional thing but his general focus was on the game. Tawks does at least three ridiculously dumb things per game. For no benefit.

Cahill was always in people's ears, giving little nudges, and he had the physicality to get away with. He must have been a real pain in the derrier to play against.

Cahill?!?!
