Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division? Post by: BrightonRed on Tuesday, January 31, 2006, 23:24:42 Don't let his distribution / crucial fuck-ups cloud your judgement.
I'm talking one-on-one 'must make' tackles. I haven't seen better.. If only he could improve the other areas of his game (awesome lob through-ball v Wallsall as an exception) Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division? Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, January 31, 2006, 23:26:17 when he times a tackle perfectly, they are absolutely superb - no question about it.
he's definitely too dark though and i have a heart attack everytime he goes flying into a tackle Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division? Post by: Amir on Tuesday, January 31, 2006, 23:32:11 Has that ability to just step in, and make it look casual.

I never used to feel comfortable when Ifil had the ball but now I do. He takes his time a bit more and makes good passes and looks a lot more confident. I think he's a good player. No one ever trys to tackle THE BEAST :twisted: End of the season and he will have brooker for brekfast. Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division?

The potential consequences send shivers down my spine! Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division? Post by: Sade on Tuesday, January 31, 2006, 23:47:38 :twisted: oooooh I love it! Can't wait for that game.

Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division? Post by: Luci on Wednesday, February 1, 2006, 08:26:47 I honestly think that all his flaws to one side, we would be pretty screwed without him. The number of times he has had to put in late tackles/track back has IMO stopped us conceeding many goals.
Ok, his distribution may not be great but his pace and presence at the back is essential. Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division? Post by: yeo on Wednesday, February 1, 2006, 08:58:24 Hes wank.
Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division? Post by: Batch on Wednesday, February 1, 2006, 09:24:04 No. He (too) often miss times them. Hence his high red/yellow/pen conceeded tally.
Was my MOTM last nigh though. Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division? Post by: larwood on Wednesday, February 1, 2006, 09:24:24 I wouldn't say he's the best.But i do think that since Kingy left he's shown signs of improvement,frankly he couldn't have got a lot worse :-))(

I love the groan which goes up around the ground everytime he hoofs one into the stand :D Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division? Post by: Piemonte on Wednesday, February 1, 2006, 09:34:15 No.
my heart was in my mouth last night when he slid in on their striker inside the box last night. That said, he is playing much better of late. Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division? Post by: DMR on Wednesday, February 1, 2006, 10:25:15 Fuck off, he does that all the time but when has he ever given a string off penalties away?
He was superb last night. Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division?

He was superb last night. He was very good last night. He has given away more pens than any other STFC player this season though. Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division? Post by: DMR on Wednesday, February 1, 2006, 10:51:31 I don't keep count of such things... so hit me with the stats.
Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division? Post by: Piemonte on Wednesday, February 1, 2006, 10:53:02 I dont have the stats.
but you knows I'm right though Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division? Post by: DV on Wednesday, February 1, 2006, 12:39:30 Ifil is the best defender we have. We would be worse off without him.
He was playing rubbish at the start of the season because he had no confidence because King kept blaming him for everything, big management no no Title: Is Ifil the best tackling centre-back in the division? Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, February 1, 2006, 14:19:42 i'm convinced his feet are shaped like bricks. there's no other logical explanation for the bizarre nature of his clearances
