I really wouldn't worry yourself about Tarko, like I've said before he's way better than Keane was in his first season, Keane actually got relegated back to the bench, it was such a struggle for him. And never mind what I say, Sean knows a thing or two about centre halves, and he doesn't sign a big name experienced CB to replace Keane, he gives Tarko the No 5 shirt and makes him captain at Ewood.

Of course you might think you know better than Sean about football and who should be our No 5, fair enough, and in which case I suggest you apply to the Burnley board for his job when he finally leaves. If you can convince them that you do, then you may well get the job. It pays well.
A bit daft that comment sinkov. I just hope he grows into the role and I watched Keane closely on Monday and if I was an Everton supporter I would be thinking OMG! The times the likes of the two Silvas and Sterling turned him and got in behind him was frightening.

I think Mee and Tarkowski need to build on their relationship and really take on board SD's coaching as a specialist centre half. I distinctly remember SD saying at EPL level, 100% concentration through 94 minutes is absolutely *****!

I have no axe to grind whatsoever with the lad but hope he can build on what IMHO is a shaky start. Another point to mention, Heaton does not seem to communicate on field with Tarkowski in the same manner he did with Keane?
