S.S.R. Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Why is Taylor speaking as if he's a decent defender? Taylor self-congratulatory? Never! I hear Taylor is going to wear a different squad number this week, as he is retiring his old one in honour of his performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewellander Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 To be fair, Taylor isn't terrible and he's never really had a great partner at centre back before. Perhaps with Coloccini beside him, he can grow into a strong defender. I'm happy to give this pairing a chance for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkhead Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 STEVEN Taylor says he is already talking the same language as his new defensive partner Fabricio Coloccini on the pitch. The pair kept their first clean sheet in only their second game together in Saturday's 1-0 win over Bolton Wanderers at St James's Park. Coloccini does not speak English, but Taylor – who uses the Argentine's countryman Jonas Gutierrez as a translator in the dressing room – believes the pair are letting their feet to the talking on the pitch. Taylor told the Gazette: "I thought defensively we did OK through the game. Fabricio watches my back, and I watch his. Basically, we just try to keep it tight. "Defensively, the club has always got a lot of stick over the years, but we're getting a good little partnership going, and long may that continue." http://www.shieldsgazette.com/nufc/Language-barrier-no-problem-for.4423573.jp *cringe* I like how Taylor tends to act like he's the leader.. every time Colo does something Taylor slaps him gently in the face, like he's his father or something.. he used to do that to Habib too, but got found out quickly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Bumped for a quality showing once again. Looks like we can really build our defence around this chap, Bassong slipped into the team without a single problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I like it how he remains forward to offer an attacking option if we win the ball back after a set piece. I reckon he's gonna get a 30-yarder and a couple of assists this season, not to mention a few headed/tap in goals from set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Loved some of his passing too, split their midfield a couple of times. Also has a knack of getting on the end of crosses, can see him getting a few goals this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 He is pure, pure class in a glass this fella like. If we can get 11 first team players as good as him and spidey we will have to order loads of tubs of trophy polish that is for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Slightly concerned about his aerial ability, but not a major problem. Everything about the rest of his play seems perfect. He got header after header tonight. I only wonder about what he'd be like against strong competition - I need to see that second goal of theirs more closely.

He got header after header tonight. I only wonder about what he'd be like against strong competition - I need to see that second goal of theirs more closely. when an opposition runs in like that for a header it is really really hard to stop them getting there first if the run and jump are timed well, but he did beat both of our cb's to the ball. it would have been better if we had someone running with him imo, they could have defended it easier.

80 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 As I recall from the live footage, I think he was flat-footed for that goal - he's fairly slight and in the circumstances was no match for their bull run. Not very good, no, if that's the case - such runs need to be matched one way or another. Didn't see much of the Bolton match, either. Hmm... As for tonight, was too busy ranting about foul throws.
