Vive_La_Villa Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 As poor as our defence has been I think they are really struggling with a keeper that is so scared to leave his line. When balls are floated in so close to him he has to be at least punching it away. We need a new keeper so bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have David de Gea in goal and that lot would still be shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also argue opposite that with a half decent defence maybe he would be more confident Complete shit show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 And we're joint 3rd highest scorers which shows how bad our defence must be for us to be where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 It's interesting that smith has admitted bruce has left us unbalanced in defence. Can't agree more. This is the reason for me we are where we are. Elphick wasnt great but he is far better than jedinak at cb. Madness stupid and idiotic to have let him go without a replacement. Bruce is sonny but himself to blame for being sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's still a lot of development left in him before we see him in the first team. If he progresses well he should be knocking on the door next christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I think Smith may choose to go with Taylor at LB. Now i don't particularly rate the kid, the fact Alan Hutton is ahead of him is damming enough, but i do think our lack of balance on the left is a issue. Hutton, Kodjia, and Grealish (when he wonders over to the left) are always looking to cut back onto their right sides so play on that side of the field is always terribly slow. With Smith favouring a faster pace i think Taylor might get the nod purely because he is left footed. It's a shame young Clark is out on loan, he may very well have got a bit of game time (if my assumption is correct). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor seemed scared to death of going past the half way line when he's played for us. Now this might have been down to instructions, but if he plays it has to change.

Stevo985 Posted October 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 16, 2018 Taylor is utterly dreadful. Smith will be in my bad books straight away if Taylor gets back in the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
