Jacki Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Taylor made all the difference when he came on like he so often does. He’s a really clever player and create openings nobody else seems to see. For me he works as hard as Weimann and he’s far more creative to boot. I’d have him starting in that no 10 role every game personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I’ve said it before but the impresssion I had of Taylor from his time at the Gas that he was a goalhanging poacher who was selfish and dived for penalties. Totally wrong. He is hardworking and intelligent, and totally unselfish. An absolute team player. I’m glad he is getting credit here for his play. We need to use him more as he clearly ruffles the opposition and gets the best out our our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 There is just something about the guy -aside from us shafting the Sags- that’s appeals. Can’t quite put my finger on what it is, as, for a striker his goal return has been shocking... but things just seem to ‘happen’ when he’s on. I just wonder whether giving him a positional ‘tweak’ could turn him from a decent player into something outstanding. Alternatively, if we could find a striker to form a partnership - seemingly neither Weimann or Fammy are that player. He’s got a bit about him just don’t think we’ve realised his full potential yet and more than anyone else in the forward line, I think he could be pivotal to our future fortunes.

He got that ball, put his head down and ran. Got a really decent shot off and allowed Fammy that chance. He did more in his 10 minutes than Pato has done in 9 months. He might not be prolific for us but he’s incredibly industrious and busy and at the moment you might reasonably argue that he’s our most important attacking player. Well done Matty. Before seeing this post I added this to the Matty & Fammy post. I think Matty with either would rattle most teams, his work ethic is second to none imo. In saying that we really need a striker (any of them) to step up & put away the chances being made. Perhaps Fammy will get up to speed after last nights vital goal. As for Matty Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not make him a scapegoat. I am not a hater but Paterson was imho poor again last night, we are a weaker team with him playing. To be fair take away the Diedhiou goal and he was equally as poor. We played well last night and deserved our win, it’s the final third of the pitch that we struggle in, we slow it down, take wrong options, our delivery was poor and our strikers do not always take up the best positions. We do not take full advantage of very good positions. In short we lack that midfielder with that little bit extra to unlock defences. Paterson weakens us, I would far rather see Taylor in that position, he is not the complete answer but is a far better option imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only problem with that is his lack of goals. Our midfield dont score many and now we are without Flints goals so its mainly down to the front players in this team.

RUSSEL85 Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Pato had a poor first half but much better second half. Your point regarding Taylor is spot on, he is a menace and defenders hate him. Traditionally defenders do not like attackers running at them, that's what Matty does and creates space elsewhere, he was a steal at £300K.

BRISTOL86 Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Nice to see people finally realising his worth, it’s ridiculous that it’s taken this long. We simply look a lot more likely to score when he’s on the pitch. Who gives a **** who puts it in the net? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I've always wondered about whether playing Taylor just behind the striker- more fluidity with Weimann, sort of like Paterson and Reid last year. Him and Weimann- and I know Weimann is not doing well currently- but on paper, they can dovetail nicely, more so than Diedhiou and that's before we even get onto the intense workrate of both. @Moor2Sea His goal return may be below par for a striker, but factor in assists and it doesn't look quite as bad.

EASTEND WURZEL Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 The Team is far more dynamic when Taylor is on the pitch , Yes he's not the most prolific striker but sometimes its not what you do with the ball its what you do without it ! , Taylor runs the channels very well pulls defenders all over the park which creates a massive amount of space for the other players . He is a constant pain in the arse for anyone marking him covers every blade of grass. He is far more industrious than most . Always encouraging his team mates and comes back in play to make himself available particularly from throw ins . With the ball he is a very intelligent player and links up well with the midfield (wouldn't of beaten Man Utd without his clever flick over the top) also uses his chest well with another assist in a recent home game. He is far more skilful than I gave him credit for. You need to play the ball into the channels and let him use his pace where he is most effective, There is no merit in the high ball to him as it will not stick . How does Marley Watkins get on the pitch in front of him ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstandrobin Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Taylor has become my favourite player and gives 105%, cant understand why the Head Coach cant get a settled side around him or isnt football at AG played that way any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seventeen Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I remember a thread prior to when he joined you lot and I said that despite his goal record for us at the time he wasn't a natural goal scorer, and that it was everything else he did that was so good about him.

Sorry to disappoint you. If you’re so worried about my view you could check whether I reacted to posts on this thread. You’ll see I liked some, so felt no need to duplicate what others have written. You might want to read all my posts since pre-season where I’ve been pretty complimentary. You may also see that I would have wanted him to start last night. You might want to see my ratings posts too: I never / rarely hold a fixed view on any of our players. Their form and ability changes over time. I reflect my views on their performances. Even last season during our poor run I actually thought Taylor’s absence was a factor, not being able to come onto and be a pest for the final 25 minutes (if not starting). We missed that.
