Ronaldo Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I don't think he's very good at the Steven Taylor role he's playing. In fact, as bizzare as it may sound, he's probably better suited to the defensive role Coloccini plays because his lack of strength and aggression isn't as exposed. Baffles me why people try to overcomplicate their appraisals of underperforming players. He's both physically and technically deficient, and has nothing in his locker needed to play the Colo role.

His decision making is terrible at times which is completely down to the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm just growing tired of seeing more of his weaknesses exposed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I actually think his reading of the game is the only reason he's made it this far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm just growing tired of seeing more of his weaknesses exposed He can't pass the ball 15 yards without making a balls-up, mate. That would be exposed hugely in the 'Colo' role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I know, I said that We've really seen the difference in quality between Saylor and this guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I actually think his reading of the game is the only reason he's made it this far. Aye, but he's so slow that he could only utilize that when playing at a stopper role. He is too slow to play as a cover role like Colo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Aye, he's just strangely built. He's not particularly tenacious or strong (or good in the air) despite his height and he really doesn't fill the stopper duty with any conviction.

Varadi Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Poor game yesterday - got off to a shaky start and really seemed to hit his confidence. Not much between him and Perch at the moment... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy1963 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 He's barely a Conference player for me. Can't pass, can't head out properly, and not physical enough. Pardew needs to look at his stats about Willo's percentages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Pardew's got no choice but to stick with him. We've literally got no-one else better to play there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Lad I work with played with Willo as a teenager in Torquay. Reckons he was a very limited player back then, nobody can believe he made it past league 1 level, never mind be a Premier League player. He also said that as a teenager he was the quickest player in the league! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 he gave them the 2nd goal yesterday....really poor defending. i like him as 4th choice....if we ever will have a squad with that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 He was poor yesterday aye and his weaknesses have been exposed quite a bit this season but he is still our best option at CB (alongside Colo of course) atm. I like him so I'll continue put my trust in him to do a a decent job but he should have really done better against that Wolves team. He does have a decent reading of the game and he has been solid at times but he's unfortunately not on the same level as Saylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
