Amazing that he can put in that level of performance while sat in an antique chair with a brandy and cigar on the go.

He's absolutely fantastic, someone got laughed at on here for saying he was already better than Colo, I think he is. The fact he's only 23 is frightening, he's so good at so many aspects of defending, and is excellent on the ball too. The sky's the limit with him, I hope he achieves that potential with us.

Think he will if we match his ambition, no reason why we can't with the players we have, especially if we keep up this level of recruitment.  Can't believe he plays for us, seemed a pipe dream when we were first linked :aww: (admittedly I didn't know much of him then but reading reviews etc and the teams he was linked with had me sure we would never get him)

Aye, that's right, I couldn't believe the reactions. He does everything Colo does, in terms of reading the game, distribution and intercepting, but actually adds a good degree of physicality and athleticism too.

 

Suits Taylor down to the ground as well, one cool as you like character, one absolute mentalist.

It will be difficult. He's got the ability to be the main centre back in a title-challenging/winning side, I'm not sure that's an ambition we can match in the next 5 years, even with our excellent recruitment.

My MOTM last night.

 

Yes great passing straight to Anzi players on not just one but several occasions that could easily have cost us the game.

 

I think he could be very good but is still a bit early to say. Thought he was one of our poorer players last night for the above reason. Taylor was MOM by a country mile. If Taylor had a foreign name, was a new signing from some African country via France some on here would be coming in their spiderman panties over his performance last night.

On numerous occasions when the striker is waiting for the ball to reach his feet,MYM nips in and comes away clean leaving the striker thinking wtf?

 

Love it.

 

Yeah, love that about him. He never goes to ground, never actually tackles anyone. Just intercepts and out thinks them. So classy.

 

And he's so fucking calm on the ball. Beautiful to watch, he could play CM easily. Not that I'm saying he should, as he has such great talents as a defender, just saying that with that composure he wouldn't look out of place much further up the pitch. Hell, with some of his dribbles he could play on the wing. :lol:
