Re: Tarks in cm
No he is an England cb. However his distribution would be very useful from the rhs of a back 3.

Re: Tarks in cm
Actually is it really such a bad idea? Tarks in a kind of sweeper role and as Woodley says his distribution is great. Not saying it's going to happen but I wouldn't fall off my chair in surprise if it did.

Re: Tarks in cm
Why would our best defender play in midfield when Defour, Cork, Westwood and Hendrick are all better midfielders than him?

Re: Tarks in cm
Maybe in emergency but there is a huge difference in playing centre half and midfield.
At the back you are facing the play and came see what is happening. In midfield the ball is pinging about in all directions and I doubt Tarks has the flexibility or mobility to adapt. Bikey didn't and ala Edgar you may turn a centre half into a midfielder out of his comfort zone.

Re: Tarks in cm
Can’t see Tarks being happy with that either. He had a great season last year and almost made the World Cup squad.
He’s hardly likely to be enamoured being pushed into an unfamiliar position just when his career is really taking off.

Re: Tarks in cm
Tarks has good distribution for a CH, it's nowhere near good enough for a CM. Besides, why would anyone want to move someone we have turned into an England international. Do you think he is going to play for England as a CM.

Re: Tarks in cm
In an emergency perhaps.
Otherwise absolutely not. He doesn’t have the mobility, range of passing and skill to play midfield.
Leave him where he is.

Re: Tarks in cm
No. Our success is built on our defence and we need our best defenders defending. In any case he would be bypassed with ease in cm. He is a good ball playing cb and should stay that way.

Re: Tarks in cm
As an emergency measure in an injury crisis, its an option. As is Ward in midfield. Weve done it before.
As our regular plan, or even our principal contingency at the first injury or suspension, its a non starter.

Re: Tarks in cm
It wouldn't be an out and out midfield role, it would still be predominantly defence. As I said like the old sweeper role playing free in front of Mee and Gibson. I only thought about it as it had been mentioned and because some were saying not a chance but I actually think it could work. If Gibson is as good as it is said then why not have Tarks in that role, it would be worth a try anyway.Rileybobs wrote:Why would our best defender play in midfield when Defour, Cork, Westwood and Hendrick are all better midfielders than him?

Let's go a step further and play 3-5-2 with Tarks in midfield.
A quick-fire way to get relegated.

Re: Tarks in cm
Sorry yeah my mistake (it's been a while). Anyway playing as a free role in front of the cb's (whatever name you want to give it). A defensive midfield role to break up play before the defence gets over run (as sometimes happens the way we play). He then has the option to use his distribution skills in a more positive way going forward.NRC wrote:Ahem....... the old sweeper role played exclusively behind the center backs
Hey nobody is saying it would work out but just playing a thought game here to keep an open mind.

Pep Guardiola was recently discussing giving John Stones an opportunity in a CDM role should Fernadhinio get injured - he thought he could do it. Amazing how so many of you dismiss Tarks for a similar role.

Re: Tarks in cm
TBF Vegas Claret the demands of a CDM role at Burnley and Man City are vastly different,in nearly all their games last season City dominated the ball,so the defensive qualities are not so essential,our most effective results have been achieved soaking up pressure and breaking,or making the game disjointed and nicking something from a set-piece.Vegas Claret wrote:Pep Guardiola was recently discussing giving John Stones an opportunity in a CDM role should Fernadhinio get injured - he thought he could do it.

Tarks could do a job in dire straits,but we really don't want to be putting square pegs in round holes again.In addition that would mean the two ben's playing as a CB pairing and both are left-footed which would immediately unbalance the shape.

Re: Tarks in cm
funny then how Guardiola often says that Fernadhinio is City's most important player as he allows the attacking players to do what they do. Now, i'm not comparing Fernadhinio to Tarks obvisously but I don't see a colossal difference between Stones and Tarks. I also wouldn't convert Tarks into a cdm on a permanent basis but I think he could do that job if we were desperate.tiger76 wrote:TBF Vegas Claret the demands of a CDM role at Burnley and Man City are vastly different,in nearly all their games last season City dominated the ball,so the defensive qualities are not so essential,our most effective results have been achieved soaking up pressure and breaking,or making the game disjointed and nicking something from a set-piece.

How about Kevin long upfront. He’s a great headerer of the ball. Get some balls into the box and he’ll challenge for the Golden Boot.
No seriously - Tarks could play in midfield but only if we really had to.

On a couple of occasions last season late on when we were needing a goal he picked the ball up deep and ran with it nobody could get near him , I actually think he could be useful late on in games given the option to push on really puts the oppo under pressurepiston broke wrote:We tried this, late on, a couple of times in the Champions season.

Re: Tarks in cm
I’d be guessing they were games we were chasing and the oppos were sitting in. Giving him the space he needed. Slightly different from playing in MF but SD knows best.Ooogeorgeorgeoghani wrote:On a couple of occasions last season late on when we were needing a goal he picked the ball up deep and ran with it nobody could get near him , I actually think he could be useful late on in games given the option to push on really puts the oppo under pressure
