Ill go even further.. his (ex-) partner Tarkowski is one of the worst footballers in the PL, a big baby statue that cant move at all, slow in his head, cant turn at all, has massive legs for no use, slow as a snail, technically bad and slow on the ball that cant really pass at all or find a CM and is not really that great in the air as well considering his enormous size. The playing style of Burnley has maximised and even made him into a national team player that he wouldn't been anywhere even close to in any other side.
(edit: And now Ive just learned he was A ManU fan growing up as well..
"He is a Manchester United fan and admired
David Beckham and
Paul Scholes while growing up.")
Mee on the other hand sees danger can find a midfielder with a pass, has good awareness, doesn't really panics, has decent pace and
turn-ability, good character, and leadership qualities, decent technique, decent left foot, decent leap for a small guy for a CB and overall a much better footballer than Tark that you would see right away in the 5 a side training.
In short, Tark has dragged down Mee and the overall Burnely style (of standing on the edge of the box, and overall long balls) hasn't shown Mees inherent qualities as well. Hes still had a good career though.
