Guest tollemache Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Villa was his last poor game. i disagree. You can concentrate on the fact that his distribution wasn't very good (same with all of his teammates, funnily enough), or you can say that he was put under insane pressure for a very large chunk of that game and produced some excellent backs-to-the-wall defending when it would've been very easy to crumble.

Mole_Toonfan Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Taylor was great against Chelsea and Spurs but i agree with Tooj i think he was poor against Villa, if Benteke's finishing was any better we would have lost that game and Taylor lost him on the ground and in the air time and time again. A lot of that was to do with how we set up in the 2nd half but none the less he still struggled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't concentrating on his distribution it was the fact he let Benteke slip away from him several times and if Benteke's finishing was better that day we could've lost that game. He was much better against both Chelsea and Tottenham though. If he keeps up his current level of form he'll be deserving of an England call-up, especially if the likes of Shawcross keep on getting called up.

However, judging his performance that day, whatever you may think of it; it was his first game back after being out for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 He wasn't poor against Villa at all if you ask me. If that had been Williamson there is no way we would have held onto the lead in that second half when we were under the cosh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I didn't think he was that bad at Villa either but as AlanSkärare said it was his first game back after a lot of games out. A little rustyness (not a word) is to be expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Taylor was great against Chelsea and Spurs but i agree with Tooj i think he was poor against Villa, if Benteke's finishing was any better we would have lost that game and Taylor lost him on the ground and in the air time and time again. First start in months tbf. Benteke's also a beast. For a CB, Taylor's pretty quick. Real pace gives any defender problems but Colo is especially slow. Ba's no slouch but the way he tore into Colo for his injury chance was a bit scary like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Colo's been poor defensively this season. As bad as Williamson imo, just been excellent on the ball. Can attribute at least 5-6 goals conceded to some bad defending on Colo's part really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Reckon i'd be tempted to play Mbiwa and Saylor 1st leg and if we win comfortably Willo and Mbiwa 2nd leg. Just to keep Satlor and Colo relatively fresh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Think we should treat Taylor like Wenger did RVP. Would love he and Mapou to get some game time together but the lad can't play 3 games in a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being powder puff against Stoke and getting beat in the air by Rodallega stick out in my mind as well as a stupid red card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ba's no slouch but the way he tore into Colo for his injury chance was a bit scary like. He's not particularly quick but one of his problems has always been a lack of agility so he's quite slow when people turn him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 He's faster than Both Willo & Colo and has played a good period of his career at fullback and was rarely caught for pace. Don't think Simmo is any faster either. Agreed with lack of agility on the turn. Willo & Colo also suffer from that. Colo tends to get too tight and thus turned too easily where as with Taylor his reading of the game lets him down and he's half a moment behind play too often. Willo's lanky so obviously he can't turn fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 He didn't have a large part to play in both goals conceded on Saturday? He's been unsettled and hasn't been performing defensively for large parts of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been unsettled and hasn't been performing defensively for large parts of the season. He has, but you are focusing only on the mistakes. There's a lot of sterling defensive work which goes on over 90 mins. Take him out of there and see how Taylor gets on with Williamson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Sunderland probably is the last time he's performed to his immaculate best, mind. Thought the Spurs game was his worst of the season; he had a stinker (beyond the two goals). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
