JH Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Typical Williamson criticism after a dodgy game? Yawn. Funny that when criticism of Taylor comes up after one game, alot immediately jump on the defensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair do's people having a pop. I still think he's a calmer influence than Taylor but he looked absolutely fucked today and in need a spell out of the limelight.

His last 2 starts have been his worst two games.Doesn't like a physical opponent by the looks of things. The funny thing is he has had good games against physical strikers but he used to stand off much more and seemed to read the game well. Now he seems much closer to the forward meaning he gets outpowered/is pressured into mistakes. Dare I say it, he looked better under CH - I wonder if the dropping for Saylor has affected his confidence? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 http://www.people.co.uk/sport/football/news/2011/01/09/tayl-of-injury-heartbreak-for-toon-defender-steven-taylor-102039-22835716/ STEVEN TAYLOR has been ruled out of Sunday’s derby with Sunderland at The Stadium of Light with a thigh injury. And Newcastle team-mate, striker Andy Carroll, is another doubt after being sent to Dubai to get over a similar problem. Taylor, 24, admits: “I’m going to be out of the Sunderland game. I felt a tightness in the last few minutes before half time against West Ham on Wednesday night. “We’ve had an unbelievable number of games over Christmas and I had just come back from a long spell out. I don’t know whether that has taken it’s toll. “But it’s been great getting some games under my belt, especially the 5-0 win against West Ham, and we are up where we should be. “But we all know how much Sunderland are hurting after our 5-1 win at St James’ Park.” On Carroll’s injury, Toon boss Alan Pardew said: “He is coming back from Dubai on Wednesday. We’ll assess him then.” Taylor also thanked new Geordie chief Pardew for saving his Newcastle career. People Sport revealed last month one of the first things Pardew did when he took over from Chris Hughton was to tell Taylor he wanted him to stay. And within a couple of weeks, the defender finally signed a new five-year contract. The Newcastle players made no secret of the fact they were unhappy at the sacking of Hughton, but former England Under-21 skipper Taylor added: “Everyone took to the new gaffer straight away. “His training sessions have been good. They are different to what Chris Hughton was doing. He has got his own method. “He got me in his office and told me he had signed a five-year deal, so he wanted me to do the same. I ‘m happy, as I want to be with Newcastle for the rest of my career.” Taylor is disappointed not to have made the senior England set-up, adding: “It killed me playing in the Championship last year. But after relegation, I wanted to help Newcastle back into the Premier League.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest schmuck Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I don't think I'll ever rate him particularly at centre back but he really can be a force of nature getting forward from right back can't he. Doesn't have the technique of some but there's a real blunt effectiveness about him all the same, as well as the defensive nouse to back it up.

The Merse Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 His hitch kick was tremendous to get past their full back - he is a powerhouse at right back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I actually think he'd be more effective than Simpson on the right-back, but stupid to change it when Simpson is playing well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 You just never get tired of his "Steven Taylor - Geordie Hero" mode where he just starts running up the pitch and towards goal like a mad man. It's right up there with those "WTF, Colo, why are you there?" moments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 A disgrace I've been trying to put to death the myth that he's a capable (forget "good") right back for two years on this board, if not longer; it's not a knee-jerk from me. Hopefully this game has done that job for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
