Ronaldo Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Carroll would also destroy him, footballing-wise. Completely ruin him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo is a dirty bastard though, and he'd have to kick him for 90 mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 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...

magorific Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 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.

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.
