villalad21 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Completely understand why Southampton let him go. Defensively he is dreadful. I'd rather play Taylor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazmonkey Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Did his usual thing....stand within inches of Mings....never know anyone with such poor defensive positioning 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Genuinely thought he was good today. He has areas to improve but he has some real qualities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 His awareness in our own box is terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) Targett is poor defensively, but links up with Jack well and gives us something going forward. Taylor the complete opposite. Competent defensively, useless going forward. Is it that hard to find a left back who is competent of both facets of the position?

Zatman Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 9 hours ago, Khizzy said: Given our current problems, Targett should have been playing higher up the pitch with Taylor as the LB - not ideal but at least Taylor is able to defend and Targett can deliver a half decent cross unlike our other two main wingers. Taylor got injured in the last game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He allegedly said that we may go down because the strikers are not scoring enough goals. after conceding 66 goals, i think that is a bit rich.

Jordi Alba is finished, Alaba is playing centre half now and Marcelo is in a rotation system now at Real with Mendy I think maybe Theo Hernandez will turn out be the best left back about in the next couple of seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are too old to be great any more but of the generation of great Lbs they are the last. Ashley Cole, Abidal, Alba, Alaba and Marcelo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of a united lb before Shaw but I just thought of a ton valencia who was their right back. But seriously there really isn't any great left backs right now.
