MaVilla Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 i thought targett looked a bit out of shape physically, either that or he has been on the weights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I’m a big champion of his but he’s worried me today in line with the things others point out more regularly. Doubt we will see an upgrade this year but I would rather he was competing with someone better than Taylor for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Will take 5 games to get back up to speed. Doesn't look the most naturally blessed of lads when it comes to athletic capabilities. He is going to blow up when he retires I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Going forward he’s decent, he’s awful at defending tho, always out of position never closes the crosses down Need to get an improvement in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 You could see such a difference between him and Cash. Cash always closing down his man, while Targett always miles away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Fulham had about a million crosses from his side. Obvious that teams are targeting him. (Excuse the pun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 its pretty interesting, he generally tucks closer to the center backs than most other full backs. But then I also remember that Taylor does that as well — is it a smith tactic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, he looks poor sometimes but, he gets no cover. Trezeguet tracked up and down his wing to help Cash out. Jack drifts inside and quite often Targett is left exploited. But, he gets up and down that flank all game - even when on a yellow card. Having said all that, I'd swap him for Joe Bryan any day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Maybe that Fulham team, the Barcelona of the championship under Jokanovic, were greater than the sum of their individual parts. Sessegnon fallen off the face of the earth at spurs. Cairney looked class - the reality is he isn't. They had a very structured way of playing. They dominated the ball without been too penetrating if i remember. Matt is decent, certainly not fantastic. Can't believe we didn't pursue the Hickey thing. Had an outstanding debut tonight. He'll probably go for 10 to 15 million next summer. Bologna paid 1.5 million.

Kiwivillan Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Seen he's got a lot of stick mostly about defence so decided to look at the numbers. Cash 14 combined tackles/interceptions/clearances. Targett only 5. Not good. Cash as it were made 7 tackles which is 5 more than the combined tackles of rest of defence. One of those tackles led to opening goal. Well done Cash. What was surprising was Targett attempted most passes of our outfield and had 2nd best accurate pass % of 80.5% (33/41) behind McGinn 88.2% (15/17) He also had most accurate long balls for outfield with 8. Next best Mings with 4. Those are odd passing numbers for wingback that scream more CB stats. Someone mentioned Targett has been tucking in close to Mings. Haven't seen anything but highlights today but are we operating some hybrid back 3 of Konsa Mings Targett during the game? He does look a bit heavy. Hopefully gets better all round with fitness and games Edited September 29, 2020 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all over, just looks off the pace could take a few games to get back into it but I fear that's just his game average season last time out don't feel he's got to much extra improvement in him. This and maybe a little injury prone is a worry not having strong competition for that position. Think we'll get done down the right by better teams than Fulham quite often this season.
