So a wing back playing against a team that for 60 minutes dominated us has only put in 4 tackles was he hiding behind the goal - I would to see his comparison with Palmer the other wing back playing on the left side.

 

 

Which team was that last night?.

I am sure I saw Palmer make a great tackle in the 1st half to stop a Swansea player getting a shot/cross in, and picking up a slight injury too?.

But, then to some posters, Palmer can do nowt right. Full stop.

I guess it's down to what one person's definition of a "tackle" is compared to someone else.

These figure don't come from 'some posters', though - they come from whoscored.com:

Maybe they've just got it in for him as well though. eh?

I think we should be signing Itoje, have you seen his tackle count?

It’s still strange to me how modern football now means that a player making just four tackles can be the top tackling player on the pitch

 

Mad that when you think about it 

 

Thats because most times a player is tackled nowadays the opponent falls on the floor and rolls around screaming in agony like they may require an amputation only to get up and run around seconds later. Therefore most tackles are nowadays probably classed as fouls.

Players like Mike Lyons and Nigel Pearson would laugh in your face for someone being praised for making a total of 4 tackles a game.

Moses would laugh at them doing 2 kilometers a game!

Looking back at the incident in question, whoscored.com clearly saw that as an 'interception' rather than a 'tackle', as technically the Swansea player hit his cross, which Palmer blocked from close range, rather than Palmer tackling him before he got the cross in.

 

It's a minor technicality I suppose, but it at least explains why Palmer's showing as having made no tackles all game!

You don't think that's why they saw it as an 'interception', then?

[Sefton owl]

There was a moment in the second half where for some reason he just let the ball drop in our box and was lucky not to get punished by their player. 
 

Too much of a liability in defence, and Pulis has probably already made his mind up on him in that regard. Don’t get me wrong he’s still got a future here, but more in midfield.

Results - Palmer as has been said for years is not good enough. 

 

He has improved but if were playing wing backs Odubajo and Penney
