Zhan_Zhuang Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 He's clever in possession and has an eye for a pass. Also he's improved as the season has gone on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 He’ll probably be one of the best left backs in the championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Behind Jack and Luiz he is the best footballer at the club. Plays the ball with pace purpose into feet, good movement, good crossing, wicked technique. Just lacking that pace. If he had it Southampton wouldnt have sold him though. It is joy to watch a fullback being actually able to play football. We have had about 3 in the last decade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get a load of "almost" players, all lacking something. We can only hope one eye was on improving them. Unfortunately it's difficult to improve size and pace though.

Lord Willard Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Lacks pace but got a decent left foot. How Trez or Davies didn't score from his cross I'll never know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 In a top side, he would be really good. Attacking left and right backs are the major tactics these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Targett will be a real asset in the championship, he’s proven that already with Fulham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, I can’t help but feel a fullback needs pace more than ever these days. He could be the best footballer in the world but without pace, he’s going to be shown up, especially at Premier League level. I remember him at home to Norwich, and Max Aaron’s went round him time and time again. I like Targett, I just think he’s probably a championship standard full back because he’s so slow.

Adbo9 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Hes weak as piss and slow as ****. How this equates to being a quality fullback ill never know.......... massively overpaid for him. Will probably be OK in the championship, which begs the question "Why buy him for the Premier League?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) he will be a quality LB in the championship. I also think he's a decent prem left back as long as he has someone ahead of him who helps out, which he hasn't had a lot of the time this season.

peterw Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 We noticeable improved when he came on v Palace. We also noticeably have offered absolutely nothing since he got injured a couple of games ago. he is Prem quality and him, jack, and whichever midfielder gets close to them when we're attacking, are a potent threat.

Very much that, he needs to learn how to make runs, take up positions and learn those thing by practicing because it doesn't come natural to him. Edit: Mentioned this before but I hope a large part of his rehab routine had him watching videos of strikers and going over them with our attacking coach. He can't do it on the field atm but he can watch and learn. Edited July 14, 2020 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
