bannedfromHandV Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 He is at least looking like a capable footballer again. Still too negative, every time he receives the ball he stops it dead, it's rare he takes it with forward momentum which results in him nearly always looking backward or sideways for a pass instead of looking/going forward. I'm not convinced his heart's in it any more, seems to go through the motions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockport_Villain Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I thought he had a good game last night. Tracked his runners resulting in some timely interceptions, played effectively with the man in front, his shot/cross fell to McGinn for his 2nd goal. Didn't get caught out position wise. Good job.

He has 5 kids and I'd say he knows his career is done and he's made enough money to provide for them. Edited March 14, 2019 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Put in no crosses that I recall every pass is behind the midfielder who was to run backwards towards our own goal to collect, killing momentum. compare him to Elmo on the other side, who isn’t brilliant himself, and we have no forward threat from left back at all. We’ve reached the point of thinking he’s done well when he’s just done the basics of defending ok. axel back in the middle and Hause at LB can’t come soon enough for me.

Junxs Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 1 hour ago, Thug said: Put in no crosses that I recall I've noticed this with him, he does it on purpose because he knows he can't cross. He often pretends there is no opportunity to cross just so he can lay it off to someone else, he is incredibly limited going forward. I was at the Swansea game (we lost 3-0) in the upper trinity, he had a chance to cross with no one around him, he pushed it forward a little bit then again, by this time someone closed him down, he then switch it to his right foot and played it straight to another one of their players. There were 3 people waiting for a cross. Terrible player who has to go in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that sums up Taylor's contribution accurately. He lacks both technique and confidence to contribute positively going forward.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxahunter Posted March 15, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15, 2019 He is fine without the ball, but atrocious with it. He doesn't what to do with it, can't pass, can't cross. We looked so much better with Hause at left back, because he passed and moved, which I rarely see Taylor do 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted March 15, 2019 Moderator Share Posted March 15, 2019 He was good against Forest. With the injuries in the middle, we need him to keep that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
