Romey 1878 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Gomes' signing actually gives me more hope for Davies.

His stats say he attempted 1 tackle which he didn't win and 1 aerial battle which he didn't win but I saw a lot of occasions in the air where he turned his back and didn't even challenge. He isn'tt in there to do the dirty stuff, Gana tackles enough for 5 people at times and Siggy inst shy of a challenge either but on first sight I doubt we will see him in many 50/50s. 7 hours ago, Matt said: How long was he out?

Look at Seamus and McCarthy, they come back and flew into tackles because that's how they play, that is their mentality. It doesnt make him a bad player in any stretch and as I said it isnt why he is in the team but its something I noticed during the game.

Decent players don't need to make tackles though Mark, their positional sense means they know where the ball's going to be before the opposition do; a high tackling stat shows how poor a player you are. If you have a high interception rate as well which would seem to suggest good positional sense it means you're....something or other...and can only pass backwards or to the opposition. High tackle stat + high interception stat = worst player in the shirt. Ever. Simple.

High tackle stat + high interception stat = worst player in the shirt. Ever. Simple. I do love this "good players don't tackle bollocks"..... Biggest load of pretentious shite I've ever fuckin heard. I played against a proper touch footballer once. (Team called the thatch tavern) He was at a level where he didn't need to tackle cos their team had the ball 80% of the time and he was the man the person who won the ball passed it to. The reason they had the ball so much was cos he passed it almost the second he got it.... not 30 yards, not even 20 yards. 5/10 yard passes, he would and I was the DM assigned to hit him hard. (He was at Everton as a youth I believe). I didn't get anywhere near him till the last 5 minutes and hacked him down when he decided to run with it. Point of the story.... tackling good players is hard. Intercepting good players passes is hard. If you can tackle, have a high tackle success rate and dont get penalised often then it's a skill.... a big skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
