wormy Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Taylor was useless tonight defensively and also limited us going forward. Santon couldn't have done any worse. He could have. He's never played in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 So it's more logical to play someone who is and always has been completely s****, not to mention out of position, just because he's always played in England, rather than a young lad with bags of potential and who's already played at the highest level? Fierce amount of s**** being talked on here tonight like, proper baffling. Erm, yes purely because of how little time Santon has been given to prepare for the game... Aye, and if we signed Messi I still would have prefered Obertan to start this match simply because he's lived in England more than a month. What a horse-s*** comparison :lol: Just like the one about Evra. How? He was thrown in far too early, hence being subbed at half-time of his debut. SWP was on fire tonight, was a throwback to how he was pre-Chelsea. Imagine what it would have done for his confidence, the fans kneejerk opinions of him, etc had that been him after just one training session in England? Because it did fuck all damage to Evra. Terrible comparison, at least pick someone who had a shocking debut, was hauled off and was never any good as a result, then you could apply the same reasoning to Santon.

Jayson Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The general idea of giving a chance to someone whos recently scored some important goals and looked fairly decent defensively is a pretty normal/solid thing to do. Making players believe they can keep their place if they keep up performances is only a good thing. Pardew could have made earlier changes, thats about it. Doubt Taylor will start the next following this performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The only way this lad can get used to the league is if he fkn plays in it, the ONLY reason Ryan Taylor is getting a game at LB is down to him being able to score from direct freekicks and as our goal threat is so piss poor Pards is to scared to drop him. Pardew needs to realise that we are suffering in or attacking play because of Taylor being at LB, its making us very uneaven and making Jonas play a lot deeper than he should be.

Its hardly ridiculous to continue playing a player who has been part of a relatively solid defense whilst Santon becomes involved in the team. My point about Pardew showing more faith in players than the fans need to, wasnt really specifically aimed at Raylor was it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 It may not be irrelevant completely, but if you can't see that, particularly tonight, we were very lucky that he wasn't at fault for not just one, but multiple goals, save for some horrendous finishing and last-ditch saves from other players at times, then you're blind. And I personally think that, despite scoring two crackers, the amount of chances he gets to try it, and the amount of times he pulls it off, isn't worth it. When you have a player that could potentially shore up our defence further and improve our general possession and attacking play, it's a more than worth it trade off.

Cronky Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I thought both full backs tonight looked poor in attack and in Taylor's case, poor in defence as well. At some stage, I hope we'll see Santon and Ferguson out there instead. 'Couldn't be worse' is a philosophy that often backfires, but we'd gain a lot going forward and surely wouldn't be much weaker in defence, if at all.
