Steven Taylor & Bassong/Colo

[Ronaldo]

what the hell was Taylor doing with that 'clearance' 5 minutes in? really should have led to a goal man

 

how can anyone still see him as a figure in our starting 11, honestly. Useless, embarassing twat of a defender

[midds]

Had yet another poor game yesterday. Marking the penalty spot for their first goal. 

 

Diouf did well to draw Beye inside but Taylor had time to have a look around and spot Cisse. Just looks shaky but Bassong (the obvious choice to replace him in the middle) wasn't great either.

Taylor - shit

Bassong - did look good, now he looks shit

Cacapa - old and average

Coloccini - needs a defensive partner

Enrique - looks good one game then shit the next

Beye - been terrible anytime hes played this season imo, other defenders are to blame probably

Edgar - so bad its unbelieveable

 

Lets get the facts, we are shite and need at least 3 more defenders.

 

[Ronaldo]

Bassong looks shit based on one game? and out of position

 

honestly mate

[Novocastrian]

Why is it Taylor always playing last man defender anyway? Shouldn't he as the big strong stopper be dealing with the big guys and taking out the target man rather than sweeping up in front of the goalie?

Why is he always in that position?

 

He was playing Cisse onside, whilst not marking him, in fact, the only thing he could possibly have been doing in that position was blocking Given's view.

 

It's not the first time he's done it either, it's a bad habit that he's got that he needs to get out of.

 

It's like a game of footballing "pass the parcel" when the music stops everyone has to mark an attacker. Taylor is always the one left in the middle by himself

looking around as the ball is in the net.
