sugoinufc Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 if we cant get silly money for S. Taylor i wouldn´t mind keeping him. I think he is still a good option/backup...and i suppport the idea of converting into more of a RB (as mentioned) to challange Simpson for the spot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Please don't take my criticism too harshly, but you can't really argue against Williamson's limitations. I just don't feel confident when he is confronted by a 'top 6' player (for want of a better description). I think he has the skill-set to deal with those players, to some degree, but he needs to work hard to do it. Particularly the mental side of the game, which is by no means an easy thing to do. And by that I mean building some self confidence, enough to feel confident when confronting the likes of Nani and Rooney. It's noticeable that he lacks this, and it's something that Colo and Jose ooze. However, he seems to have a level head and always looks motivated. There is nothing stopping him using the good foundations he has laid to improve into a 'top 6' defender. But it will be tough, not sure he can do it. Nailed it. He dealt very well with a few top 'top-6' players last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 In terms of value for money, he's up there with Simpson and Lovenkrands - probably even higher. I like him a lot, and he had a good game last night. Still prone to ricks though, imo, and i'd still be after a centre-back in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Think he is a very good old fashioned centre half. Superb in the air, good in the challenge and doesn't usually take silly risks. I also think he isn't that slow for a man of his size, I would say he's wuicker than someone like Collins or Dunne for example, they look like tractors when they start motoring. When Colo eased Hernandez off the ball last night, both were just about keeping up with him. When you consider how quick the little fecker is, that isn't bad. I think he will only improve with experience and his best years are ahead of him, certainly one of our stronger areas in the starting XI, just the back up that worries me.

colinmk Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm not sure Taylor is good enough for backup. Every time he comes into our defence it looks very shaky. He has good attributes for sure and I'm not sure exactly what it is that he lacks but if he is to be backup it needs to be worked on by himself and the coaching staff.

Hughesy Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Don't think he is as good in the air as he should be (for example last night with Hernandez, N'Zogbia at home this season). For both his height and the fact that he is meant to be the 'simple, uncomprising' defender. In fact - I don't think he is physically strong enough or dominating to play that role. Has a tendency to get bullied by the bigger, more powerful strikers I think. That said, I like him and think he is a good centre half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I don't think Taylor is that bad individually, but he doesn't seem to breed confidence in the defenders and goalkeeper around him. He's a defender of 'extremes' - he's incredibly gung-ho and 'the charger', if you like, which isn't always a good thing. I think Williamson is a more level-headed version of Taylor - physically a bit weaker, a tiny bit slower, but his reading of the game and knowledge of when to take one for the team by getting a card and when to simply hoof the ball clear is very valuable. Short version is: Williamson compliments Coloccini better than Taylor and therefore should be in the first choice pairing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk77 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 You're on to something Pilko. Imo what really separates Williamson from Tayls is that he knows his limitations. But also he has a better eye for the ball. Tayls is more gung ho. You don't see Taylor stopping those dangerous through balls, because that requires that you're both capable of reading the play and covering the correct space. Williamson's passing ability has also improved. He's doing very well, and it's his first season and he only cost us £1mill.. A true bargain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saylor is a much stronger player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Taylor's terrible balance prevents him from using whatever strength he's gained from lifting weights instead of playing football. The sackless cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 He was never quick but he's slowed down a lot in the last couple of seasons. It's actually an understatement to say he's an accident waiting to happen when players run at him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
