Steven Taylor (now retired)


Recommended Posts

The biggest problem with Taylor as it has been for the last 3 years and why he isn't in the team currently, his injuries. The guy is always injured and totally unreliable. You simply cannot expect him to be available for most of the season anymore unfortunately.

Looks like he'll be back in the team then if he's taken Yanga-Mbiwa off.

 

Good.

 

Is it.  :lol:  Is this the same Steve Taylor who was given a red card in his last game?

 

nah, it's  the same one who keeps handing the ball in the penalty area.

At least he clutches his stomach though, so the ref can't give a penalty.

Ian wants Yanga back in the side after what Sturridge did to him last time round.

 

You're confident Steven Taylor can handle Suarez and Sturridge?

 

I'm happy to admit I rate Mapou higher than Taylor and Williamson, not sure that should be such an issue.

I don't really fancy any of our four central defenders to do a good job against Suarez and Sturridge.

 

I think I'd go Colo and MYM regardless. Williamson is far too slow to play against them and Taylor will be rusty.

Sturridge and Suarez are all about movement, pace and ability on the ball.

 

Don't really want to see Taylor up against all that.

 

I would go with Mapou and Colo personally.

 

Aerial balls won't be as much of an issue against Liverpool.

 

Either way we will still receive a flogging so it really doesn't matter I suppose.

It's not. It's just Colo and Taylor are a proven decent partnership and MYM was absolutely raped by DS last time round.

I was at that match and I'm still convinced that MYM gave up after a bit and just hoped that they would miss the target. Everyone was pitiful, mind. I'd probably go with Taylor for the time being, despite thinking that he's generally crap and blames everyone else but himself. We just need that bit of cockiness back and something to rustle MYM's feathers a little bit. I can't see MYM not ending up the better defender in the end though.

Colo was raped by Suarez last time he played them.  We should go Williamson & Taylor.

In fairness I wouldn't expect many if any centre back partnership at all to handle Sturridge and Suarez comfortably at the moment.

 

Exactly, none at all are capable basically. We will get mullered if the midfield don't provide excellent protection, probably even then.

 

Will be interesting to see what Pardew does, it probably won't affect the result either way. He might just decide to stick with Williamson and take the post-traumatic stress counselling bills on the chin.

Suarez will rape all of our CBs. That's the price you pay for spending less than a combined £8m on them in the last 5 years.
