brummybloke Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 All 3 goals created down the left. Targett involved directly with one, for once the left midfield wasnt the weakest attacking. Let's see if that translates to premier games rather than weak opponents in the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Judging from the highlights from today's game, he'll make a superb partnership with Trezeguet. He made some excellent thru balls and crosses that we all know Taylor(sadly) is incapable of. I'd be surprised if Target doesn't start next game. I've valued Taylors defensive contribution and been arguing for him to keep his place, but Target seem to add a whole new element to our team. Hopefully he'll be able to replicate it in the PL.

KentVillan Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Better than Taylor when we're on the front foot against weaker opposition. Still not convinced he's better than Taylor in a tough Premier League fixture, but hopefully we'll find out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Always been a fan of a left back who can do that kicking the ball thing. That thing when they have the ball in front of them and they sort of swing their leg at it with purpose, whip and follow through making a pass into feet over 7+ yards possible. Underrated trait that.

villalad21 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 He played against a weak Brighton. From what I've seen from Targett he looks very suspect defensively. Would still play a reliable Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very often because Taylor positions himself way too narrow and allows his opponent too much space and time to cross. And that's without offering anything going forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was directly involved for two of our goals. Jota’s and Jack’s. Both originated from a good Targett pass or cross. I’ve only seen the extended highlights, but I thought he looked really good. There are a fair few clips of him stringing some good attacking passes together, as well as getting in the box and causing trouble. I’d start him against Burnley, personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Has to be time now. He's also taller so Dean can frame it that way if he wants. Should help a bit more with long balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted September 26, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2019 It would be fair to introduce him now, after conceding 3 last weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking by next season, the likes of Taylor will be gone, and the likes of Targett will be back up. However Targett is still a level up on Taylor. As a matter of fact, don't we have a good young Left Back who alot were bemoaning not getting a chance? Was he released or is he out on loan? Name has slipped me.

Name has slipped me. Mitchell Clark, we released him, he’s at Leicester City now, he’s naturally a centre back who can also play either full back position Targett is only young at 24, he’ll be our first choice left back for a few years I’d have thought Edited September 26, 2019 by sir_gary_cahill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor isn't very good at that either so we may aswell play someone that can at least cross the halfway line without getting a nose bleed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
