Tarkowski at fault again...

[oldcolner]

We Paid £1.08M and he's now valued at £2.25M on Transfermarkt
Hope we get at least that!

It seems that we have someone who, in many fans' opinions is not worthy of a place in the team, is going to be captain tonight.
Strange world is football

Only a few vocal fans opinions think that. Well he captained us to a win in a major derby game getting a clean sheet and they had only three shots - all off target.
At least Sean has the faith in him, I would have expected Jack Cork to lead. Sean's opinion is most relevant too!

I think those few fans need to stop dreaming about a replacement for Keane and take on board what Sean's telling them. He got the No 5 shirt, and he gets the captaincy when Tom's out. It's not rocket science, work it out for yourself, like I've been saying for a while, Tarko is Keane's replacement end of, and Sean has 100% confidence in him. We might get a back up, but that'll be all, he'll be sitting on the bench watching Tarko play.

I like Tarks,he's an excellent player who will only get better the more he plays..

[sinkov]

The last thing the comms says on the Sky highlights package, 'Tarkovski....brilliant again'. He had a good game then presumably.

Don't read too much into that sinkov, they can't even spell his name right.

It's not League One strikers we need to worry about, it's when Tarkowski gets pitted against the likes of Morata and Silva that worries me!

But Hey Ho, he's one of ours and let's hope for the best?

I would worry about any defender against the likes of Morata and Silva BT, they're world class players, and all defenders, no matter who they are, will find themselves in trouble against them. Did you see City v Everton on Monday, Keane was all over the place at times, but he mostly got away with it, no criticism of him, that's just the way it is at that level, we just have to be realistic about it.

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.

We seem to be on the same wavelength again sinkov. Whether or not we do sign another CB, we havea manager who just gets on and uses the tools that he has and tries to make them work, he does't bother about the 'what have been' --a man after my own heart. Smashing result last night, limited them to 3 shots and none on target. Another good TEAM performance!

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?
