Guest firetotheworks Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 FWIW, I've always thought that Taylor's marking from set-pieces is crap. I have no specific examples, simply because my memory for stuff like that is pretty shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 A lot of people on this forum talk like Taylor is crap at everything, even the things he's decent at. And say some shit like MYM not being much worse in that regard anyway so he should start. Load of bollocks. Reminiscent of the Cisse excuses at the start of last season.

The College Dropout Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 NO Logic: Taylor's not even good in the air. MYM's only slightly shorter he's not much worse. Reality: MYM doesn't even mark opponents aerial threats. NO Logic: Steven Taylor makes blocks and last ditch tackles to make up for previous mistakes in positioning. MYM has a better footballing brain. Reality: MYM often uses his pace to make up for his poor positional play. And if not that, he'll run away from trouble/physical duels.

The College Dropout Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Same thing is happening with Tiote. He's just shit at everything and he's not much better than Anita at the things he's good at so he should just sit it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 As long as it's not Willo. Don't want to think about what Suarez will do to his nice hair. I think we should play Taylor and Willo against Liverpool. No better way for them to prove that British spirit and physicality is key in the premier.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Watched the DVD from last season (cheap in CEX) and the amount of times a forward just breezes past Taylor and scores or sets up a goal is unreal. Obviously that's the worst of his highlights like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Think it's pretty safe to assume any combination from our selection of centre backs are going to struggle against Sturridge and Suarez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Think it's pretty safe to assume any combination from our selection of centre backs are going to struggle against Sturridge and Suarez. It will be a difficult contest, without a doubt, but we don't have to 'struggle'. I'm not denying that a performance from a centre-back can be a gamechanger, nor would I absolve any defender of blame if they made a mistake that cost a goal - but there's so much onus on the defenders themselves. If we played well as a team, we could actually win the game and contain their forwards in the process. They're very good but hardly an unstoppable force. Unfortunately, Pardew probably holds the mentality you've suggested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 He'll play.... doubt Colo will though we'll save him for City and Chelsea. Sounds to me like both of them could probably do with another week's training under their belt, but Pards is going to take a chance on one of them for sure.

Pilko Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Sounds like one could play for 65-70 minutes and the other might come on for them later in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 If he does play he'll be chomping at the bit. Hopefully he is fit though as we know how prone he is to breaking down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worry with him is he'll commendably always prefer to play through and be a hero rather than accepting he isn't fully fit and saying that he can't go on.

sempuki Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Sounds like one could play for 65-70 minutes and the other might come on for them later in the game. Feel relaxed about this - think Taylor will give his all as usual if he plays. If not, I have no problems with Dummett against Altidore and co.

Ronaldo Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 You keep saying that. In theory Altidore will eat Dummett for breakfast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
