Guest Vinkent Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Both Williamson and Taylor fall into the "average but not great" category for me. They're both really hit and miss. We'll survive with them until the summer but desperately need to boost our defensive options with quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I couldn't believe Williamson like. Getting in the way of Roberts' elbow, the useless b******. Sell him. Yawn. Wondered how long it would be before you were back driving the bandwagon. Ironic you're complaining about an elbow, the amount of cheap, sly digs you get in coming in from the side. If you can show me the mass outcry on here about the Roberts challenge, I'd like to read it. Anything relevant to add to the debate? Fancy answering my last question? People would have went "It wasn't Taylor's fault. He was fouled" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I still can't believe the Bramble - Williamson comparison. They're about as different as defenders get. I said the Bramble compound. That being the tendency to mess up/lose concentration out of nowhere; Williamson hasn't got it as bad as Titus but it's still there. I wasn't comparing them from a technical point of view.

Tooj Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 The main reason I'd rather play Williamson over Taylor, is he isn't as much of a lose cannon and the back four looks a lot more solid as a unit when he's playing next to Coloccini. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 s**** example given that Perch plays a different position. I'm with Punk on this one. I'd have complete faith in the club to dig up someone from the bargain basement who would be better for the squad than Taylor. I've mentioned before, the thing that really riles me up is him potentially eating up wages that could be given to the likes of Enrique or Barton. The thought of them buggering off whilst bell-ends like Taylor, who epitomise mediocrity, sit cushtily on the bench with £40k coming in every week. Exactly. The reason why I've always been against Taylor is his salary. He's so much weaker as a player compared to Tiote, HBA or Barton, but is almost earning as much as them. We got to trust our club to find better talents that is younger, have more potential, is less injury prone and earn considerable less. Steven Taylor isn't that good, but he's not bad enough to be easily replaced by any "young, hungry lad from the Championship." Remember that Taylor exerted Vidic-esque dominance over the Championship for the half season he was there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 He wasn't like, tbf. Colo wasn't even THAT bad, just made a few comical mistakes the latter half of THAT season. For many parts of the season though he actualy looked a good player, it's a pure myth that he was shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For many parts of the season though he actualy looked a good player, it's a pure myth that he was s****. I wouldn't go as far as to say "pure myth." He showed some hints of quality early on but he became pretty abysmal as the season went on, just like everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal78 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I hope all this argument in favour of Taylor is at least for him to play at CB. Nobody should ever metion him at RB anymore, the word atrocious is too mild for his performance against Everton. As for CB, although I acknowledge that Williamson is ust above average (and possibly should be upgraded if we have the funds), I'd still rather stick to the tried and tested of Colo + Williamson. Don't change what is not broken (and it wasn't before the Everton game), although for the Stoke game it might be worth partnering Colo with Campbell if it is true that the latter still retains the physical aspect of his game especially heading away tons and tons of Delap's creative passing!

Hanshithispantz Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 It's a half myth then, he wasn't great, and he made some absolute howlers, but the way people go on about the latter half of that season is just daft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"don't change what is not broken" pretty much sums it up tbh, you sort of hope that Taylor is a better defender (if he isn't then he has regressed backwards a lot in the last few years), but you realy cannot replace Williamson as of current. The latter realy has impressed, for what we all thought he would turn out to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
