The centre forward belongs to the cb not hoping the left back Mark's him. Nope Hause was marking ndidi. Iheanacho came from right wing and behind Targett. It wasn't hause's fault the same way it wasnt soyuncu's fault for the winner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 He was unbelievable for 75mins. The other 15 mins at the start he needs to sort out. I get he is young and hopefully them slow starts will become less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cizzler Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) One of his best games for us. Linked up with Jack excellently. Grealish is so much more effective out wide when his overlap isn’t just a decoy (i.e. isn’t Neil Taylor..). Targett is still not there defensively, I agree with some above that he could’ve done better with their goal - seemed to let Kelechi drift past him tbh. 3-5-2 suits him a lot more anyway.

Yeah Sky were running a piece on their news app analysing Grealish and Targett’s link up, was actually quite interesting and accurate for once.

Derryvillan Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 He was caught out ball watching.It happens.In fact happened to us against Citeh and Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Couple of my friends were watching the game with me, I was saying that our main threat apart from Grealish from my perspective is Targett. Their link up is great. It didn't take too long until they proved me right. I think this 3 at the back will be implemented more in the future. I've seen couple of teams playing it so far. I won't mind building our team on it actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted January 29, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2020 If anyone still prefers Taylor over Targett then you need a **** brain transplant. Taylor could play for another 10 years at peak fitness and he wouldn't offer the threat Targett offered last night. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 He is a proper footballer. I absolutely love him. This is what football is about, having confidence and hope, and enjoyment, the anticipation that when a player receives a ball that something magical can happen. I would rather a Targett for all his faults, that Neil **** Taylor. Him and Jack are just on that wavelength. A new breed of footballer we should have been bringing to the club 5-10 years ago.

alreadyexists Posted January 29, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 29, 2020 Fantastic game for Targett last night. Still only 24, if he continues to play this way and improves he could be our starting LB for a good long while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 It was his best game in a Villa shirt. Especially considering the level of the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Taylor can defend better, apparently. It's not even true, but even if it was it wouldn't make him a better option than Targett. So many things Targett did last night I turned to my mate and said "could you ever imagine Taylor doing that?!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 IIRC correctly, Taylor has never scored a professional goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not hard to see why. He's probably the worst fullback, attacking-wise, in the league. Attacks die with Neil Taylor. The way Grealish and Targett linked up last night was very very good and it literally would not happen with Neil Taylor in the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Targett is pretty up on this list based on stats for left back's! Show's you how well he is doing!
