loonyTOON 10 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Theres been a lot of chat about the young players over the last couple of games, Barton, Enrique, Colo etc But I think Saylor has been an unsung hero. He's had two starts and two goals, both of which have been extremely crucial. He really does seem to be feeling the pressure from Williamson and is fighting for his start. Imo I think he deserves a run. He definately seems to be getting better and better. Williamson hasn't scored yet. I like Taylor, been a good player for us, and loyal. Lets just hope he can get back on track towards an England call-up, and more goals for us like he did for U21s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 877 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 He's shit but his attacking headers are nothing to be sneezed at. I was ready to say ship him out, but we may as well keep. He won't be on mega money, probably at the same level as Williamson, good squad player to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4728 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I like Steven Taylor and not sure why he gets a bad press (apart from him being a bell end of course). He always seems to be committed and his goal scoring is important. I cant really comment on how his defending has been of late compared to Williamsons, but I do know Williamson is a walking penalty maker and he has been very luck not to concede a lot more this season.

Taylor has his moments, he can make some good important tackles, however he can get himself horribly out of shape and ends up pointing at where he should be for someone else to fill in for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7297 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Taylor has his moments, he can make some good important tackles, however he can get himself horribly out of shape and ends up pointing at where he should be for someone else to fill in for him He doesn't like to commit himself (because he knows he's slow) so he instead backs off and tries to stay goal-side looking to get a block in. As a result he pulls off some good blocks, but there's not a lot between one of them and a deflected goal where the keeper has no chance. As others have mentioned he has good value from set-pieces. I'd say he's better than Williamson because he doesn't use his hands as much and has a little bit of aggression which can be very useful for a defender. Defense is very much about the entire back four though, so he really needs to get continual game time alongside Colo and our fullbacks (whoever they end up being next season).

The Fish 10858 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 He's a poor mans John Terry imo (mind that's not saying much tbf). Strong in the tackle, shouty, bit of a prick but loves the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3357 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I hate how he tries to play sweeper behind the keeper instead of going to the ball. He's got a cracking header on him though, maybe someone should convert him to a centre forward - he's shagged Carroll's missus so it's only a small step forward from there.

StevieRoss 0 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 He's not a top quality PL centre-back, never will be. None of our centre-backs are top quality, it should be the second priority after a centre-forward in the transfer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coloccini is probably the best of our CB's, but he'd only be a squad player with the better teams. His good days are very good, but his average days are very average...

Ketsbaia 0 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 He's been fantastic in the last two matches but overall this season I've been unimpressed. If he can keep this form up great but I suspect he's only a few games away from reverting to his arm waving and bollock dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, with Taylor, Coloccini and Williamson, CB is a weak part of our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
