West Ham agree fee in region of £15m with Liverpool for Andy Carroll


Recommended Posts

I'd have taylor in defence for the liverpool game, with the aim to wind carroll up that much he gets himself sent off. I'd not even fine taylor if it was a double sending off

 

Taylor was given that exact job against Bellamy at Ewood in Sep 2005. Guess which one of them ended up getting sent off.

 

The lad's a thick as mince, he couldn't get a rabid dog sent off.

Against WBA, Liverpool, City, Spurs and Everton he frequently resembled a double-decker bus trying to reverse away from a speeding Maserati.

 

The last time he appeared in this league he looked almost as abysmal. There are no excuses left.

The bit that had be disgusted was when Arteta was on the break and the ran PAST him just to back off and then get done by him. Contrast that with 2 minutes later and Coloccini snapping at Osman's heels while he was on the break and knocking it out for a throw-in.

He's been injured and is clearly not match fit. He's not Satan you know.

 

Fitness isnt an excuse for backing off his man and letting him run into the box though.

Because we all love pictures, here's a wonderful one of his 'defending' for Everton's first goal...

Enrique did that plenty times against Everton too

I reckon putting Taylor on Carroll would see another one of those mismatches such as Carragher vs Drogba or Martins vs Dawson. He'd be absolutely done up the arse.

 

Wouldn't know which of our defenders to stick on Carroll. Would have to be Colo I guess.

Williamson for me. Colo wouldn't stand a chance in the air. Colo is a dirty bastard though, and he'd have to kick him for 90 mins.

You've picked the exact 2 examples i'd have gone for. :lol:

At least, if any defence is gonna have a clue how to begin dealing with him it'll be ours. Probably Willo on him with Coloccini around to sweep up. Alternatively, try and manage the rest of them so well that they never get to pass it to him. That's optimistic regarding him not taking the ball for himself, though...

Better than Williamson, though, you said a few weeks ago.

Pathetic.

Ronaldo's recent musings:

Williamson coould and would be dropped the second Saylor was fit. "And rightly so".

Would rather have Saylor then Lescott alongside Colo.

It had been years since Taylor had been shown up like Williamson was against Arsenal.

Absolute drivel, that. Seriously, log off.

 

You know he's talking about Ronaldo's comments, right?

 

I know nothing of the context, merely that the notion of Saylor > Lescott is absolute bollocks.

Carroll will win balls in the air, I don't think there's a great deal any DC can do to stop that. The key is mopping up after him, making sure the knockdowns are dealt with.

 

Stick Williamson on him, and have Coloccini mop up. It's the only way.

Is any of this relevant at all?

 

There's not much between Williamson and Taylor at CB. This is Mike's first season at this level, in fairness. Taylor's had nearly 7 years to become a decent PL defender.
