Steven Taylor (now retired)


Recommended Posts

.. He f***ed up on three occasions, pointing to various people as if it was their fault.. Then did his usual stomach ache impression when the ball hit his hand.. He did ok in the second, but brilliant is a bit much

 

This.  The handball was deliberate and he was clearly lucky that the ref had his head in the clouds.

 

:lol:

He swung his whole body into it and caught it deliberately with his arm.  It was as if he was trying to shoulder it away but misjudged the height of the ball.  Just because his hands are by his side doesn't negate the fact that it was a handball.  But for the fact that his arm was in the way, the ball would have passed him.  I don't really see how anyone can argue against it, but hey.

Did anyone catch him going to pull a Villa sniper shot MKII today, all be it a lot less OTT, when Brosceli (sp?) tried to claim hand ball. :lol:

 

Came in here to say that, was hilarious. Rewound to see it again after the game ended :lol:

 

I think he did well today.

The whole team played average today, Its encouraging that we won, Just proves we have alot more to give...Taylor played ok but was very nervous at the back until we scored, like the whole team was...

33rd minute he gave the ball away in a dangerous position and 3 minutes later he cocked up again. We weren't punished but if Coloccini had done those there would have been hell on.

Taylor has ALWAYS been better than Williamson.

 

There's not a great deal between them. Both very average defenders with glaring weaknesses to their games. With Taylor its his rashness, with Williamson his chronic lack of strength.

I've always preferred Williamson but tonight he was nothing short of dismal.

 

I'd not noticed how bad his distribution was until tonight - though, in fairness to him and Colo, they didn't have a Tiote collecting the ball, giving an option and sweeping up which probably played a big part.

 

Taylor will come in for the Mackem match now though, if fit and rightly so.

Williamson gave an interview before the game about how he has played on this kind of pitch before in the lower leagues and that there are a few other lads who have too. Could have fooled me.

Will be much more confident with Saylor in the squad.

 

It was vital we eventually extended his contract with the other options we have available.

 

I'm not a fan of S Taylor at all - always nervous as fuck with him in the side but he has to come back in now.

Taylor's distribution would have been exactly the same as Williamson's was today. The reason for that is that a Tioteless midfield apart from Barton (same old story) weren't showing for the ball.

 

It's the same reason why Coloccini was playing long balls for a lot of the game as well.
