I know some people are gonna disagree with me here but why the fahook is Matt Taylor starting above Ricard Gardner?? When Taylor was injured, Gardner was playing well with some good link up play with J Lloyd Samual. Yes Matt Taylor scored a screamer against West Ham but how many of them does balloon over the goal. Look a lastnight for example when he smashed the free kick miles into ther south stand.

 

Matt Taylor is rubbish. He doesnt run at defenders and when he does get into a decent postion he turns back and passes inside or back to J Llyod. When every1 in the crowd can see the amount of space available for him to dribble into and threaten the full back!! He offers nothing down the left wing and is sh*te. Yes we know he has a good shot but he needs to offer more on that left flank!!

 

Ricardo would be down that line and trying to attack the full back all game long using his momentum, agility and speed to get into the box.

 

Im getting the impression he is Megsons love child and he wont drop him because he has paid ?3.5 million for him and doesnt want him labelled as one of his flop purchases.

 

Does any1 else agree with me?

 

Lastnight Taylor should have been replaced around the 50 minute by Ricardo so we had a bit of width in our team!

 

Megson is clueless!!

I disagree - with a bit more luck Taylor would get a pon full. The kind of player to rattle in 10 this season, although this may only become apparent when we get rid of the manager.

for me taylor has to start every game, perhaps Gardner should've come on for him at some point

 

he's our best chance of creating a goal.

 

in the run that kept us up last year he was involved (scored or set up) in all but 1 goal we scored

I hope so mate but in my opinion and from what I have seen hes too slow and wont run at defenders

Everyone is moaning about lack of goals then you get people coming on here wanting Gardner in before Taylor

 

Has Gardner been playing left back for the last 3 seasons, not left mid. let me think.... YES!

i don't see why taylor couldn't play in centre midfield with muamba and nolan, if we go back to playing 4-5-1

We all know Taylor aint a winger apart from the bloke that selected him to play there. He was no better than what we already had at the club and for 4 million quid is a waste of money. Last night Taylor was slow, couldnt run at defenses which needed Gardner. Megson was the only person not to see where the problems were. Verdict,,, Megson must go.

FFS even in his pomp Beckham never ran at defenders. Know what you are good at and stick at it.

 

Taylor is the biggest goal threat we have at the moment - he should be playing all game every game and Megson shoudl find a way to accommodate him and Gardner in the side.

Exactly my point!!

You cant compare Beckham to Taylor. Beckham was the best of the best at crossing a ball. I know your only saying stick to what your good at but sometimes Taylors crossing and passing is sh*te

Gardner cant cross and cant shoot. End of thread

Gardner can drive forward and beat defenders!! And Yes he can cross

taylors crossing shit?

 

maybe, but its certainly the best we have...

 

one of the 1st names on the team sheet for me.

So is Beckham's.

 

He hits the first man far too often for someone who, to listen to the media, has been one of the best players in the Universe for getting on for fifteen years.

He can do that but when he is past them he is like a rabbit caught in front of headlights, he always fucks it up. Why do you think Taylor takes free kicks? Because hes the best weve got at this club at them. He is also the best crosser of the ball we have.

Better in a 5 (or3) rather than a 4?

 

He's a good honest lad

So is Beckham's.

oh stop it please.

 

 

if we`re now saying beckham is, was and always will be poop then i have to say your expectations are a wee bit high.

 

taylor is all of the above (good crosser, good honest lad, scores the odd great goal, a threat, etc, etc) but what does he have to show for his efforts?

What do ANY of our players have to show for their efforts? We haven't scored in 270 odd minutes (last goal was actually scored by Mr. Taylor himself) he's our best corner and freekick taker and if Cahill and O'Brien could head a ball in the oppositions area he'd have 3 assists in the last 3 games!

Bolton will score more goals with Taylor in Midfield than with Gardner in midfield

 

double ragging fact

i would play em both.

 

gardener on left

 

 

taylor on the right.

 

taylordoes not go past his man, but play him on right and he cut back and cross.

 

life is that simple...

allardyce played gardner on the right at least once

 

in fact, yon messiah played him at right back at pompey

 

now that was a tactical masterstroke

Watching Wednesday's MOTD last night and two excellent set pieces from Van Persie both put asway by centre halves. Why don't our lads attack the ball like that? Cahill just seems to hang around the goal line bothering the keeper and O'Brien hovers around the 6 yard box.

 

Obviously Taylor is no Van P but he does put some excellent crosses in from time to time and we just waste them.

Are you sure its not fatty ardbuckle Nolan that seems to bother the keeper? All he does is stand infront and try to obstruct keepers. The amount of times he has give away free kicks!!

Personally, i'de jus put Gardner at left back and get him n steinsson bombing down the flanks whenever we have the ball!!

 

Attack Attack Attack!!!

I wasn't there on Wednesday but at the Blackburn game Cahill was stood by the keeper for every corner I can remember, and we had a few of them.
