Kid Dynamite 7168 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Taylor is a better defender than Carrick. Carrick is a better midfielder than Taylor.

PaddockLad 17642 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Put yourself in Taylor's shoes...would you be happy with a 34 year old with 26 caps playing out of posistion in your place, against a bunch of part timers, on what could be your first cap? Smalling and Lescott, ok theyre both centre backs not a lot he can say. But starting a midfielder in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Since Carrick said he was chucking the towel in with regards to playing ( well being a squad member ) for England ,it looks like he is now guaranteed a game.How can he influence a game by playing sweeper.

I'd be fucking seething but Tayls is so vainglorious he'll probably be happy as long as TV cameras show him doing the sideways Tigger along the line a couple of times.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Fuck defenders. England should just play 2 at the back tomorrow and then load the midfield and forward line. Pummel them for the first 20 minutes and stick 4 or 5 past them then sit back. But no, I expect Roy, to 'give them respect' and play it cagey and feel the way in which will only make the players more paranoid about the fact they are expecting to stick about 6 or 7 past them. Hey, stick Taylor up front I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6782 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Games v teams like this are rubbish. Its just a matter of breaking them down. And even when that happens they still dont come out their shell. Pointless game. There has to be a better way of having competitive games. Maybe the minnows should have some pre-qualifying for the qualifiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Joe Hart's form recently perhaps that would be a fair option. Also given his propensity for being in the other team's half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 So do people still find this cretin hilarious for all of the zany things that he does on the pitch or are they now wising up to him being just a bog standard Premier League defender who has relied on being a local lad for far too long?

Indeed he is, but is the current management of the club likely to fork out the necessary money for a replacement?...they didn't even want one for free! Again, almost a decade of Taylor is just a symptom of what's wrong at the club, not the cause. See also Shola. And its got fuck all to do with where they're from.
