Not really. It's been years since Taylor's been shown up like Williamson was against Arsenal. Williamson will generally do Ok against plodding/brainless attacks like tonight, but stick him against effective movement in any form and he'll struggle.

Saying Gattusso has always been a poor player? Come off it, he's seen better days for Milan but he was fantastic once upon a time. Yes what he did was of the highest order a c*** thing to do and inexcusable but Souness let his emotions get the better of him because it's his friend Joe Jordan. Souness shouldn't talk about a guys career he knows little to nothing about outside of the odd CL game. I didn't even hear him say that, mate. I was referring to the comment about Gattuso being way past his best, which he is. Gattuso's a scumbag, a dirty cowardly little b****** and Souness is justified in being a tad angry if Jordan's a mate of his. f***ing Italians, prick would run a mile if you stuck him in a boxing ring, or a pub on a Saturday night. Kicking folk from behind and headbutting old men is fair game though, eh? c***.

Taylor will be straight back in, man. Bet your house on it.

He's going to get another hat-trick soon.

I'd probably put Taylor back in, but there's not that much between the pair of them.

Doing a very good job.

Made of Titanium.

Bout time. Hell of a performance.

MOTM.

Terrific result. Safety.

Souness is a terrific pundit. Nail on head, spade a spade.

Great header. And that's why he's Carroll's successor. 5 goals in 7 starts now. Shocking.

45 minutes of defending away from safety.

Birmingham are an absolute disgrace.

I am sure he will as I reckon he will want NUFC winning.

What a load of s****.

The laws of human biology state he wouldn't, in fairness.

Jonas made James Perch look a good defender. No doubt Carr will morph into Cafu for one night only.

As an athlete he certainly is. As a footballer, probably not.

The above.

Based on what? Seriously. For the record, I'd prefer that he was starting tonight, but only because Best and Loven just don't click. And Loven is completely finished/shite.

There comes a point when 'he's just settling in' becomes an excuse. I'm not saying that the extremes of LLLO were justified, but to say no criticism is justified is a tad unfair on those pointing the finger. He had some very poor games, to which he admits himself. Not in his first season, man. He's allowed that, surely? If your challenging at the top and can afford that luxury then you can give time to allow players to settle in. We were in a position to not being able to afford any player to settle in that season sadly. That was our own doing. It wasn't a reflection of Coloccini's quality. I remember sitting waiting for a flight on Aug 28th, typing on here that we'd struggle with CM options of Barton, Guthrie and Butt, and that we needed to get someone in. Predictably, the situation wasn't addressed.
