Villarocker Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 His positioning sense is terrible. Look at his position whenever the opponents have the ball and start going forward, he's way too narrow. He leaves an easy pass out to the ride side and that's when we come under attack because the opposing player either backs Taylor into the box or he gets a free cross in, unchallenged. We need a left back that can get out to a wide opponent before he's got control of the ball. We need a left back with a brain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 And people were concerned about starting Targett because of a apparent lack of defensive nous. It's not only the attacking side of the game that Taylor is rubbish at, absolutely nowhere near PL quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 As backup to Targett I'd 100% rather see Hause play at LB from now on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 At least the myth that Taylor is a good defender is coming to an end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MaVilla Posted September 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2019 Targett should be nailed on first choice LB. Failing that it should be Hause. Taylor shouldn't even be on the subs bench he's a fraud of a footballer. I can't put in to words how bad I think he is. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted September 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2019 Terrible today. Ignored several times by his own players. Grealish got annoyed with him on one occasion when his positioning in the attacking half was woeful, and resulted in the ball going out for a Burnley throw.

Tomaszk Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Horrendous. He's an active negative. I'm convinced we'd be better with 10. Maybe 9 if you take Wes out as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my earlier post, Grealish gave him a look like daggers when he realised they had caught us cold unmarked on the wing for the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, if it's a toss up between him and Taylor just put him in, even if he only has a right leg meaning he has to cut inside to cross. He's still get more crosses in than Taylor and even being a human bar table footballer he'd block more shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure, but it was certainly towards the end of the game so most likely after their second goal, but was an attacking situation that Taylor managed to completely make a hash of.

I think his inability in terms of positional play is also why he's so awkward going forwards. He simply doesn't feel comfortable and looks to be overplayed all the time.
