MaVilla Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 rough, did ok versus everton, but pshh, he scares me at times, some of his passes were terrible, and that chance he had to cross, oh my lord...... time for targett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 There is a reason why sides attack us relentlessly down our left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Thought he did well, was only really exposed when Trezeguet didnt track Coleman so was 2 vs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 He had a decent game and made an important block in the run up to our second goal, although did have some poor moments going forward. Still stand by what I said, we'll be better with Targett coming in, just as we saw today with Guilbert. Taylor is playing well but is a limiting factor going forward, we saw the difference Guilbert made, including with his run in the build up for the first goal, Targett will offer something similar.

KenjiOgiwara Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 It baffles me how someone who clearly can do very well defensively in the PL, can be that utterly abysmal going forward. It's puzzling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Without checking, I'm pretty sure he played in all our games in our 10 match winning run last season, played in all our play-off games and has been nothing but consistant so far in the Premier League, wish the fans would get of his back for a while. Another good performance and deserves some praise for helping and playing a part in getting us to where we are at the moment! Thanks Neil Taylor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Weirdly better in Premier League then he ever was in the Championship. One very bad cross but otherwise decent. At least he's earning his shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Again he really didn't do much wrong at all defensively but his attacking game makes my eyes bleed. His cross that went over everyone summed it up. Just like Elmo done nothing wrong but Guilbert got his chance tonight and proved how good he can be. I'm not trying to single Taylor out and if he plays next week that's fine, I just think Targett would be a real plus in an attacking sense.

Ingram85 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I feel sorry for him because the effort is truly there and more, e puts a shift in at the back, I just wish he knew how to cross a ball. Earned his place though again tonight, hasnt done much else wrong. Just needs that extra dimension to his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Championship we were expected be on the front foot every game so his attacking weaknesses were exposed more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep indeed, that's why I feel sorry for him as he doesn't deserve to be dropped but on paper, Targett offers more. I'd stick with him a few more games though until he does something to truly warrant losing his place. Weird one really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Solid he was solid but you just cannot have a player that bad on the ball in the PL. I don't even care about his pass % , he is rarely an option, he doesn't stretch teams, he doesn't find teammates when marginally pressed and he never puts his foot on the ball under even moderate pressure. It is always helped onto the stands or nowhere up the pitch. When you have the ball you are basically a man down. He is not a good footballer. He is a good defender who knows his position and his role. but we won't get away with this like we did tonight. You constantly concede possession and chase the ball in the PL you get run ragged and you lose. Edited August 23, 2019 by rodders0223 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targett pls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I like Taylor, I think he has played reasonably well and I think he will definitely have his uses this season. However he is the reason imo why Trez didn't have the same impact that Jota had. Guilbert offers such energy down the right that Jota could come inside knowing he had the overlap splitting the defence. Exactly what happened for the first goal. Taylor just does not offer that threat. He also had a great opportunity to ping the ball into the box in the second half and blazed it. I'm not trying to pick him out as imo El Ghazi was gash last week and needed pulling. I just think we need to have a look a Targett now with Guilbert on the opposite side as in preseason.

Surprisingly solid and decent on the ball for the most part. Had 2 or 3 very bad passes wich unfortunatly many of the supporter are judging hes overall performance off. But to be fair he had very good game apart from these bad passes. Always did the right thing in the defencive role and positioned himself brilliantly throughout the game.
