Steven Taylor (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Absolutely perfect partner he has alongside him. Saylor can do his 'getting stuck in/old fashioned centre half' sorta shit whilst Colo' sweeps up behind and plays the football. Always likely to score from set pieces too. Think he's coming into his own now with Fabricio.

Yes - but works with Colo/ Willo too

Thought he performed very well again today apart from the tackle on Doyle that he didn't need to make. Hope he carries on this level of performance as it's such a positive of our side at the moment.

should be apparent by now that it doesn't work as well.

Yeah - definitely. I re-read that post and it doesn't do Taylor justice. What I mean is, that they both compliment each other excellently.

Think he's benefited more than anyone else from Colo being made captain, gives him security, protection, direction and a leader to learn from. A settled partner as well, all the things Taylor hasn't had since he was a teenager.

Playing better than I thought he was capable of this season. Well, I say better, I suppose more consistently would be the term.

 

He's always looked like he's got a mistake in him previously but he's dishing out good consistent displays thus far.

 

Humble pie being cut as I type.

For me to, Taylor is a big bonus this season. I doubted whether he's ever be a consistent player for us again, but he's done really well. So many of those pleasant surprises this season - even Raylor playing LB hasn't led to us getting hammered every week.

Agree - I would have always, without fail, chosen Willo ahead of him but Taylor is the surprise of the season so far for me in terms of consistency.

He really has shown real quality, wonder if an England call up is on the cards?

Surely he has done enough to be considered.. even if he is in the words of Pards "a funny boy"

 

:lol:

 

Is being talked about in some papers this morning.

 

Too soon iyam.

He's proved me wrong so far, i still think there is one error in him somewhere down the line, however the same could be said of Coloccini and Enrique when he was here.

 

I don't think he's good enough for England, although then again some people still think Carragher (not on here i hope) should be in the England squad.

 

By the way, the main reason why his form has improved isn't down to Coloccini (although he is a big part of it), it's because he has remained fit for a good run of games, something he has failed to do in the past.
