I agree, Taylor isn’t great but he is way better than Targett Targett has been atrocious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we absolutely should not go out believing we are already beaten, all to play for. But we have to play out of our skins while they have to have an abysmal day and likely get someone sent off for us even to have a chance at a draw. Could happen thou. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Back in bottom 3, guess we will still be there by 1930. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 2 minutes ago, villa4europe said: Why? If we feel Nakamba and Luiz can get a bit swamped and over ran and give the ball away cheaply under pressure and therefore don't help when we play in games vs teams that will have the majority of possession and Drinkwater offers a better option than surely a game vs man City is a good test of that theory Again I can see the logic of the decision Nakamba and Luiz gave the ball away 30 times at Leicester. Hardly surprising one of them was binned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust the manager and team that watched him train for the best part of the week know if he's fit or not him starting to disappear around the 60 minute mark and being subbed off before it becomes a problem would be a bigger concern, don't mind him starting but can see smith taking him off too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Taylor will relegate us on his own if Smith continues to play him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the same Taylor that played against Burnley and Leicester which we didn’t lose? Forgot how immense Targett was against Leicester at home, Sheff Utd, Southampton and especially Watford Oh hang on ........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Disappointed Taylor starts but im not going to pretend Targett is the second coming of Maldini either. Very solid line up from us. Be great if we could get a cut at their back 3 at some stage. They aren't great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
