Vital he plays as he gives us a far more solid defense than the wandering amavi . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DCJonah Posted April 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2017 Excellent. Only composed player first half. Strong defensively and good passing. Looked a level better than most. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I like him, he is a good solid left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 He plays as if he almost doesn't have to pump the ball into the crowd at every opportunity. A change of direction, letting the ball roll across your path and opening your body up. So simple yet why is only one of a few capable.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Excellent again. Bruce's best signing so far. So composed and very hard to beat. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 He's a good player at thls level. No frills sort of defender, we need some of those. Bemused at all the negativity when he signed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 12yr old has just been moved to to fullback, much to his annoyance, because at that age they just want to score. At today's game i was making him watch Taylor and Hutton closely and pointing the differences between the 2. Now i don't want to stray off topic, and I'm certainly not trying to bash Hutton here, but Taylor understands the postion much more than AH. My boy was often complimentary of Hutton when he went bombing forward, 10 seconds later when Blues broke down the left and Hutton was ambling back from right wing, I'd say to my boy 'you see a problem here mate? Conversely, Taylor plays the position fantastically well. He gets forward when he can, but his positional play is great. He knows his job and does it well. Very good signing. A lot of VT thought we'd had our pants pulled down in the deal that took Ayew to Swansea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't actually do anything brilliant in terms of getting forward, or brilliant last ditch tackles, he's just very, very, solid. His positional sense is great, he got forward when he could but understands his primary job is to defend, and he does it bloody well. The bloke is going to be great for us.

Supervillan78 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 If Amavi's worth £25m then this guy worth £100m. We've completely and utterly had Swansea's pants down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
