manpe 10,861 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 The more I look at this tackle I see perfection Kurt my Man, take a bow!!!He makes such perfectly timed last ditch tackles quite often. I don't think he's ever particularly failed in pulling them off. The ones on Agüero and Walcott pop to my mind first, but there have been more. He is an excellent ground tackler, that is his best attribute alongside aerial command and pace. If he improves his reading of the game, positioning (both come with experience) and technical ability (something I have doubts over with our coaching staff) he will be world class. I think he is already our best CB, but that doesn't say much. robdog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 He has perfected the last ditch tackle. Still needs to work on his awareness though. Gary should have been benched for him last season. Glad to see Zouma take hold of his starting place in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary should have been benched for him last season. Glad to see Zouma take hold of his starting place in the team. To be fair, Gary Cahill has also always been a great last-ditch tackler. The problem with Cahill was that many of those last-ditch tackles he was forced to make came about because of his own mistakes in trying to play the ball out. Zouma is capable of being a ball playing centre back - at his age it's not a fallacy to think it. But if he is going to try then he can't become like Cahill and allow his personal mistakes to result in such situations. So perhaps it's better to leave him to his already established qualities. Height, speed and strength. Signing a ball-playing CB therefore is more important for us - Is that Stones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky 739 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 He can become a great CB for us and his in the box sliding tackles are the best i've seen. The only thing I would like to see him improve on is his composure on the ball and positioning. He seems really awkward when he has the ball at his feet and I don't think its due to a lack of technique but more mental confidence. Under a good coach he can work on this and his still young so I believe it will come in time as he matures.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Needs a top quality CB next to him to start off next season, we must build around Zouma in this area. I cannot see us getting much more from JT and think this season could be his last dance. Stones, Varane, Marquinhos and so on, but do not fall short and scrape the barrel in this area again.

JT next season will be his last as a full time player imo. If we see him in 17/18 at all imo it will be in a player-coach capacity, unless something goes horribly wrong.

No Champions League football next season. Looking forward to the Papy-Happy combo in defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Zouma is great with the last-ditch tackles but I'm actually more impressed with his recovery pace, especially for someone who looks big. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illmatic 901 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 All of us know the footballing conditions of Kurt. What really most surprised me, was see him acting in star wars, I didn't know about his another facet. BTW, good performance, on the match..... and on the movie .
