Mick Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Taylor should sit on the bench for a long time after his stupidity. i second that. he let everyone down You've let the forum down with that avatar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I do think Taylor and Colo are our best bet, but Taylor's not the long term answer and I've said that on here since 2005. I'd happily see him sold if we got someone else in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I didn't catch the second half, how were Colo and MYM at CB? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I didn't catch the second half, how were Colo and MYM at CB? Colo imo looked a bit shaky all game and was poor in general. MYM however once he went to CB looked a lot more assured and showed a fair bit of class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMagpie Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Taylor should (quite rightly IMO) be worried about getting his place back when he's available once again but I think Pardew just picks names first before any thought of form comes in to it.

Disco Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 West Ham, Morecambe, Fulham is a nice 3 match run for himself and Colo to develop a solid understanding potentially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 MYM did look pretty good at CB. His pace helped Colo out one time glaringly. WHU willl be a great test for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor's place should be third choice CB. Colo and MYM are much better players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 If he is indeed Yanga, then probably quite a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 How much have you seen of MYM? I've seen a fair bit of him and he's a much better footballer than Taylor. Problem is, he doesn't seem to compliment Colo to well. When they played in the middle together couple months back, none of them won any headers.

Problem is, he doesn't seem to compliment Colo to well. When they played in the middle together couple months back, none of them won any headers. I don't know how much of an issue that is TBH. They aren't monsters in the air, but Colo has improved a lot in that area, and there aren't as many big strikers around now anyway. I just think the benefits of playing them outweigh that weakness.

The College Dropout Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Is he a better defender? Is he a better partner for Colo? I guess WHU will be a great test. I'm sure Debuchy is a better footballer than Simpson. But from what i've seen so far. He's an inferior defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a much much better defender man than Steven Taylor. Steven Taylor is only playing because he's a strong lad that wins header, but he has very average footballing ability, positioning and intelligence.

Of course, but (a) it doesn't necessarily mean they'll always do something good against him and (b) those players are probably better than Taylor as well.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'm not saying people wouldn't beat Colo in the air sometimes. But as I said, he will do enough elsewhere to get the better of those players, and those players are also better in the air than Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The new S'hampton lad looks handy in the air too. A team that is useless in the air better be brilliant on the deck. I do miss the physicality our first PL season back side had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
