Twinport53 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I am not a fan of Anita at all, and Abeid has been just OK (with some poor errors) since returning from injury, imo, but the presence of Taylor in the middle is probably the single most baffling tactical decision I have seen in my time following the sport. There is just no reason for it. He was injured and out of contention for most of the season, and only originally saw the pitch because Haidara/Dummett/Janmaat were injured and once in the team performed miserably at his preferred position of fullback. As a result of this, he is now first choice in a position he has rarely if ever played? Colback (who sometimes struggles to compete physically, anyway) may as well play alone in that area because Taylor has no attributes of a midfielder. Or a defender. Or a professional player.

Colback & Anita/Abeid would struggle but this... this lunacy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 i can only think that Raylor is in the team for his set pieces but since he has been in the team they have been woeful. i am sure he has managed to put a corner kick straight out of play in 3 successive games and the ones he has kept in are big high floaty ones which you have no chance of scoring directly from.

themanupstairs Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 "Ryan Taylor over the wall" the fans once sang because he fluked a free-kick goal against the mackems, and injured himself badly soon after. The players wore tops with his name on to wish him well. In Carver's mind, he's probably doing US a favour by playing the fans' favourite in any old position just to get him on the pitch.

Dave Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 John Carver was defended on Monday after being slammed for playing golf six days before Newcastle’s relegation showdown. The head coach was joined by his coaching staff and player Ryan Taylor at Close House Golf club, Northumberland, sparking outrage among some fans.

The head coach was joined by his coaching staff and player Ryan Taylor at Close House Golf club, Northumberland, sparking outrage among some fans. That makes for some grim reading. Raylor wasn't good enough six years ago in 2009 FFS. And I think the only reason we bought him was because he kept scoring against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw this but a great point. I never understood why he and Pardew got such easy questions in the press Because if they ask anything other than "What is your favourite colour John?" They'll get banned. Still doesn't excuse not giving him a hard time when he deserves it. Saying that Carver would probably struggle trying to answer that question tbf.

Some other dinosaur will offer him a coaching job, he might even blag his way into a managers job lower down tbh. Never underestimate the benefits inherent in being on the Brit coaching merry go round. But aye, hopefully alcohol poisoning somewhere will be his next move.
