Guest firetotheworks Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Williamson had at least half a brain and adjusted to his limitations, which is more than can be said about Steven Taylor who seemed to think he was Nesta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon No9 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Seemed a good bloke. Limited footballer who tried his best all the time. A good professional. With cliches like that, you should be a pundit. A well paid one I hope...?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Taylor got sent off through his stupidity. Williamson got sent off on purpose. Allegedly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Williamson had at least half a brain and adjusted to his limitations, which is more than can be said about Steven Taylor who seemed to think he was Nesta. Yeah, Williamson clearly knew he was crap like. He was also a better leader and organiser of a back four than Taylor who just pointed into space a lot and made stupid gestures when the Sky cameras zoomed in on him.

Pointing to where he should have been and shouting at someone else was his usual trick that absolutely no one fell for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nattfare Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 For me Steven Taylor had a higher max performance than Mike Williamson, but he also had a way lower than Mike when he was at his worst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 You know according to science, there's a parallel universe somewhere where Pardew is still our manager and Williamson still one of our first-choice CBs **shudder** Entire afternoons are spent in that universe with a ball being hoofed to the back post, where Moke rises to head it out for a throw-in / goal kick.

steve_69 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Not sure I've ever seen a weaker CB than Mikey boy, a total lettuce. He was absolutely shit. One of the most infuriating players we've had in our first team since i've been a supporter. Nice lad but he had absolutely no right to be playing at the back for a PL team.

Wilky Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I feel there is a bit of revisionist history here. He wasn't a terrible player and we have had loads worse than him. He was average, did well in spells, did poorly in others and was a decent squad player who had some useful runs in the team. Don't see the need to demonise the guy. The floated set piece debacle was a Pardew issue and unfair to blame Williamson for his poor tactics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 We didn't know how good we had it when were tearing our hair out evey match Bramble played. Last season was the first since the 90's where I have been content with both our starting CBs in the premier league. While we've had some good individuals, we haven't had a starting pair where one of them haven't had the burden of carrying their partner to some extent like Woodgate, Coloccini and Faye. Shame that Faye got sold the summer Colo arrived. They would have been an excellent pairing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
