Taking that out of his game might make him half the player though, i love him though typical old fashioned centre back.
Half the player? I don't want him to not tackle at all, just be a little less reckless. You make it sound like he has no ability at all. I agree with you, I also like an old fashioned centre back like him, but we've all seen the last couple of years how the refs don't tolerate hard tackles as they used to do and to be honest I'm suprised he hasn't been red carded yet. With all that said I do rate him very highly and hope we can keep him a few years atleast.
