BigAl Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Showed a lot of character this week really like the look of him as a player really solid does not spectacular but doesn't too much wrong a while since we have had a left back like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont want to go over old ground but some of tackles by Everton players yesterday were as bad as Taylors and not a mention in media Not just Everton, maybe it was because of the Taylor/Coleman incident but I noticed a glut of awful tackles over the weekend that on another day could easily have resulted in a broken leg and I'd strongly argue that they were more reckless and carried more intent than the Taylor one on Coleman.

I noticed a definite increase of praise from the home crowd for Neil's good play moments (plus the early throw in, as already mentioned). I suspect the increased support was to ward off any stick he might have got for his footballing misjudgment. As it turned out, there was no stick from anyone in the ground (well Norwich is pretty far east!), so I think most were pleased the exaggerated criticism had been left on social media. Back in the real world, Taylor had a solid game and was probably glad to get a full game under his belt without having face any high speed 50/50's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great change to be honest, it shows that we are coming together as a club, bond with players, management, ownership, and fans is spectacularly underrated! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Looking solid and a great buy swapping Ayew and getting 5 mil. For once Villa did well in the football market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Solid, no nonsense and gets the job done. Very much in the mould of his manager from that perspective. Edited April 7, 2017 by Xela 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree, simple no frills footballer...and we look so much more solid with him in th side. Hope Bruce can find a few more of these in the summer, should make things a lot simpler next season.

There have been too many players at the club for far too long who are blatently not good enough, e.g. Amavi, Bacuna, Gardener, Hutton, Gabby, etc.. We usually end up giving them new contracts rather than getting rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or that he did intend to go in hard and "leave something on him" (possibly on the advice of his manager at halftime who *might* have suggested that his team fight fire with fire) and is now haunted with regret due to the severe damage that he inflicted.
