The People's Forum: Re: I love this emerging narrative that Tarky's loss of form is Keane's fault :D nt

To be fair, he looked 'shaky' alongside Keane at the start of last season and I was a little surprised it was Tarkowski that was dropped for Branthwaite when he was fit. As soon as Branthwaite was back in the team, Tarkowski was back to usual self.

Does Keane make him a worse defender? Hard to prove, but Branthwaite makes everyone better.

Because we offer nothing down the right yet so coaches will start to rotate their spare midfielder/defender to clog up space in the channels Grealish and KDH like to operate in and force us to beat them another way. I also worry defensively that Tarkowski is starting to decline meaning Branthwaite and O’Brien might need to be the CB pair by season end.

I do think we will have some very good days along the way but also some frustrating ones until we have a RB and Dibling fully emerges as a force.

Where do you think we could finished based on what we've seen so far from us and others?
