relámpago blanco Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 He's actually not a bad centre half underneath it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 He's better than Williamson, I'll say that for him. If he wasn't a few sandwiches short of a picnic he might have been better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Don't rate him at all but he's shown before he can come in and play well for a few games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiesteve710 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Unpopular opinion time, I actually don't think Taylor coming back into the fold (if he can stay fit) is a particularly bad thing, he isn't a bad defender when hes fit no matter how much everyone likes to think he is. Grade A knacker, definitely, injury prone, absolutely, but hes a canny defender, gives us a bit more of an aerial presence too. Short term, it's potentially the best option. Him and Colo know each other's game well enough, and he normally has 4 or 5 good games back before losing concentration and getting sent off/losing concentration, being shit and getting dropped/tripping over the touchline and getting injured. The next 3 home games are crucial (we can forget about getting anything from Chelsea away) and he's probably a better option than hoying Janmaat at CB and shoe-horning someone else in at RB or whatever other options we have available as a club. What have we come to as a club man?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have we come to as a club man?? It's not so new. I can remember a few injury induced stinking back fours. As an example a few years ago I watched a home game v Spurs and our back 4 was Carr, Moore, Ramage and Elliott. I thought we had hit an all time low and Spurs would walk through us. I was wrong of course and we won the match. But we had Roeder in charge then and he was going through his very brief Guardiola phase. And for some reason during that phase Shola was scoring goals. Now we have McClaren seemingly trying to emulate Carver - and to date no striker who even knows where the net is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Glad to see him back. Has probably lost all ability given he's not really a footballer anymore like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 It's not his defensive quality for why he needs to be booted out, it's the fact he's bleeding us of money he's barely managed 10 games a season for two seasons straight. He's about to do the same for a third season. Pointless player to have on our books, he needs to be replaced. Agree 100% with that, but as we are right now, him coming in even if we get 5-6 games out of him before his next injury its not the worst thing in the world. Paying Taylor something the region of £25k/week (£1.3m a year) to play 10 games a season. Would rather we paid somebody equally as good that money, and he play regularly. He's on 45k a week.

SiLvOR Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Looked good today apart from one dodgy backwards header that I remember. He usually does look decent, but you know it'll be about 4 weeks before he breaks again. Shame, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 He was utterly dominant in defence and very astute in possession. Better than Mbemba and Coloccini on that form. Fair play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 One bit today when he knew there was nothing on, didn't want to a risk a back pass and just made sure we were safe. Think Colo and Mbemba can try to be too fancy at times. Doesn't look as stupid in his decisions nowadays. If we're going to have a token Geordie I'd prefer it be him than either of the other 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
