Tooj Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 It's standard Taylor though. We get this for a few games, he'll score from a corner, then he'll make a massive rick/get sent-off, followed by a season-ending injury. Aye. Still shit meself every time he brings the ball out from the back too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Was most surprised with Taylor yesterday, thought he was excellent - although to be fair I think I could have defended against West Brom yesterday as they were terrible and had absolutely no attacking threat.

Foluwashola Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 He played good. Cool. How about he stay fit and be a reliable player for a change. How about he cuts out his random red card versus a top side in the first half. He's a 30 year old defender not some youngster by the way. Well that's one way to respond to a decent performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Think there's a massive overreaction to his display like. Any defender in the World would have looked good up against West Brom yesterday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 One to two dodgy moments, but it looked like he was up for the challenge and took some responsibility. I've not always had that feeling with Tayls, so it was good to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Think there's a massive overreaction to his display like. Any defender in the World would have looked good up against West Brom yesterday He also played good against <enter team name> before he got himself <injured or sent off> and it's a shame we can't rely on him. A comment made for the past 5 years. I'd give him more credit if we weren't in a defensive crisis with this club thanks to the likes of him and Willo being an inconsistent or injury prone crock or plain terrible. Must move on.

Ronaldo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Think there's a massive overreaction to his display like. Any defender in the World would have looked good up against West Brom yesterday Yep, this place really is a joke at times. We win one game 1-0 against a crap side that completely fails to turn up and the general perception of a player who's been in the first team for 12 years changes fairly significantly. He's the most injury prone player I've ever seen at NUFC in addition to having numerous glaring deficiencies as a defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Don't think anyone's saying he's going to be some sort of saviour from now until the end of the season, we all know the script; he'll play another 2 or 3 games then get injured and that's another season over for him. However credit where credit's due. He played very well yesterday albeit against a poor team and to suggest otherwise because of his previous failings is just silly.

How is this place a joke for people merely saying that he had a good game, which he did even if it is against shitty opposition, I highly doubt it changed peoples overall opinion on him, but please let your massive bias keep you from looking at things objectively.

Ronaldo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Bit thick you, aren't you? I think you should combine a quick look through the last couple of pages of the thread with a trip to Google and the word 'bias'. Plenty of posts go further than praising his performance yesterday. There's no mileage in the lad, never has been. Only a matter of time before him and his brain of mush let us down or the next muscle/tendon/ligament explodes while he's jogging around the field pointing at the corner flag with his chest out.

I did that before I posted, there are maybe a few people who "Went further then praising him", but the majority of people only said he had a good game, but because you're macho man brain can't compute something that is different to your opinion, even if slightly minuscule, you have to go and call the entire forum a joke.

Interpolic Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I haven't really been reading the thread, was a heartening performance yesterday though given we really need someone to plug the gap in that position for a few weeks while better players get back to full fitness.

Elma Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 We've kept four clean sheets all season in the league. Steven Taylor has only started two games. Those were two of the four. OK, so it was Man U and WBA, neither of whom are known for being prolific this season, but with other combinations (principally Colo and Mbemba) we've only kept two from 23. For comparison that group of fixtures includes Villa and Norwich at home. At the start of 2011-12 we conceded something like 12 goals in the first 13 games with Colo and Taylor together before the 0-3 Chelsea game when he first snapped his achilies. The stats suggest he's better than he's sometimes given credit for - he's just injured too often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Not sure how you can use stats from a run of games from almost 5 years ago to advocate his ability now, like. He's noticeably slower since then and clearly hasn't really learnt a thing in that time either. More recently performances against Liverpool (0-6) spring to mind.

I do think the stick he gets regarding his ability is a bit ott, there is/was a good defender in there somewhere but he's made of glass and thick as pig shite. Shame really.

Three years ago is hardly recent, and he wasn't the only one to have a shitter that day. He can't be relied up on because he is a walking injury, he is also thick as fuck but if he stays fit he is a solid enough central defender for where we are right now. The problem is that isn't going to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 It's far more relevant than good form when he was in his mid-20s. Naturally he's only got worse since 2013. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
