Tom13 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I thought yesterday he really put himself about, but his crossing and cutbacks weren't at the standard they normally are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s an £11m full back who Smith thinks will play for England, I think his performances have been great. Quite a lot of fans don’t rate him but I think he’s excellent at both ends of the pitch. He struggled against Adama Traore, if he just stood off him a couple of yards then he would’ve had more success, he hasn’t really struggled against anyone else that I can remember, someone will probably put me right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think ‘he really puts himself about’ as you put it, he comes across as a very nice likeable chap, I think he’s excellent and he will get better over time, he’s still very young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate him, I said he was the best fullback at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think he’s better than Guilbert? I’d say that Guilbert is better defensively but Targett is better going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targett is ok defensively and far far better going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really struggling with your opinions at the moment. I don't dislike Targett, he's solid enough and is a decent premier league player. Not excellent though.

Five Ken McNaughts Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Call me a glutton for punishment but I have just been watching Spurs' first goal at quarter speed on You Tube. What the hell is going on with Targett's near post "jump" there? It's as if someone said "Right, do an impression of a jump but don't actually jump." Little wonder the ball smacks a surprised Drinkwater in the face and ricochets to Alderweireld. Moura ducks for cover too. Everyone reads the situation as an easy headed clearance yet Targett somehow fails to get off the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won loads of tackles and headers yesterday. The key word there was yesterday (now two days ago) - he definitely showed more defensively and wasn't afraid of making a challenge. His tackling numbers are quite low for a fullback overall, but the whole point of signing players like him is working on them and making them better. I think he offers quite a lot to the team and most importantly, has a good understanding and link-up with Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
