Dr_Pangloss Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 We all knew we were getting a shite player but the drop in level may benefit him, time will tell but not a good start today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 First half I didn't think he was bad, but he faded second half. As I said before, he is more defensive than amavi, as a wingback I think amavi would thrive more as he offers more of an attacking threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 352 May work away from home but it's not fluid enough at home where teams will soak up the pressure and hit us on the break - need to be more attack minded at home . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't work away either! I'd like to see it with Amavi and bree on the wings though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 There were two guys behind me, (upper Holte), and the vitriol they had for Taylor was outrageous. We hadn't played 5 minutes and one of them called him a "useless sheep shagging bastard". It turns out they were Amavi fans, who they referred to as the best player we had at the club. For the record I think Amavi is a good player as a wing back, but in recent games has been poor and made a lot of mistakes. But to slag a player in a Villa shirt like that, particularly on his debut, was disgusting. I hadn't seem them before and they sounded like a pair of FIFA playing cliche sprouting knobs. Anyway that's that off my chest and nobody got thumped! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I thought he was dreadful. But I'm not sure I blame him it looked like the players had never met each other before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I did think he looked pretty poor. But poor is still an upgrade on Amavi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted February 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2017 Is he injured? Surprised he never started in a back 4 where the fullback has more defensive responsibilities, think Bruce has this arse about face 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keener window-cleaner Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Taylor was the bright spark of the game for me. I was quite underwhelmed by this signing and his debut didn't change that. Before the game there was talk about what a threat Yedlin and Ritchie was and with Kodjia in front of Taylor it was quite worrying. But I must say I was very impressed by Taylor, he hardly put a foot wrong, was solid in defence and his passing was good (compare with Hutton - who I thought had a good game, but still either hoofs the ball or goes on a run by himself every time he has the ball). Taylor looked like a player who has played left back all his life. Could it be that we finally have a solid left back? Keep it up! Question is where this leaves Amavi though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I thought he played well, Yedlin is one of best attacking right backs in league and Taylor stopped a lot of his crosses i thought both full backs were grand compared to the 2 clowns in between them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I don't care where this leaves Amavi. Amavi has been absolutely shite this season and a massive disappointment. I expected him to step up and be one of the best in the league given the dramatic drop in level, but he, like most of the other clowns who wear the shirt, just does not have the appetite.

BOF Posted February 21, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 21, 2017 Taylor was one of the only success stories from last night's game. I liked his endeavour. I didn't know what type of left back he was before he joined us, but he seems to be willing to attack, and even to come inside as he's attacking. Seems to have a bit of character about him. If I'm basing it solely on last night then I like this guy Now keep it up! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 21, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2017 I think he's pretty similar to Hutton. Defensively sound most of the time, but not that great going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 best left back since Bouma he is a strong tackler and if gets beaten he is not afraid to make a cynical tackle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted February 25, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2017 Good player. A reassuring figure on our left side. Finally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
