lexicon Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Class overall today. Nice one Neil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 He was superb today. Used to think he wasn't even a footballer. Goes to show bad form can make anyone look bad and we shouldn't write players off especially when we're not playing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateer Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Without meaning to take the piss, one the best balls he played today and best defensive moves he made at the same time was the ball he didn't touch. He sold a dummy that allowed the ball to run down the line as he drew two of their players on infield, allowing El Ghazi to run on to it and run it to the corner. Smart play, well executed and ran some time down by enabling safe defending in the optimum part of the pitch - by the corner flag in their half. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Very good today, looked like he had lost all will to be a footballer a while ago, but he is on a good run of form now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Obviously Dean Smith gets a huge amount of credit for this run, and for getting performances out of so many players, but making Neil Taylor look like a footballer is his greatest achievement yet. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 He really has improved immensly over the last few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Did well tidy, him and El Ghazi have been linking up well recently. Did anyone notice in the first half it appeared Lee Johnson was trying to wind him up from the technical area? Every time Taylor was near him, Johnson was out making hand movements, meant to be for his team, but it really looked like he was just trying to put Taylor off. (I do sit in the upper holte, so I may have been mistaken) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Neil has been absolutely awful for much of the season so to turn it around so dramatically over the last 5/6 games is credit to him. I don't know what has changed but I prefer this version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 13, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2019 Looking a different player at the minute. There were times this season where I thought he didn't even want to be there and was going through the motions. Forming a nice partnership with El Ghazi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Another wlsolid show and he wanted that goal. Made an absolute fool of Leeds right winger before the controversy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Isn’t he the only out field player not to score this season (or at least one who’s played regularly). Bet he was desperate to have a free effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 He had a good game today. I just wish he could have hurt one of theirs today as they are a scutty team that deserves nothing but pain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Surprised people thought he was solid today. I thought he was probably the worst Villa player on the pitch. Had two absolutely massive ball losses outside and inside the 16 yard box the last ten minutes. I still think he's a poor player, but maybe I am mistaken.

I want Hause back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 They targeted him in especially in the first half and most of their attacks were on that side. He wasn't terrible but he has a tendency to allow to much space and time to his opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a tactic Smith employs, fullbacks on either side are narrow and allow wingers a lot of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Yeah I thought he was pretty good again today, just about managed to stop himself from hurting the Leeds scum who scored. I'm convinced he's going to score a big goal for us at some point in the playoffs, he's been getting into decent positions recently............I reckon that's why we didn't 'give' the goal to him yesterday, we and he are saving it for something truly memorable.
