He doesn't look like a striker who worries the opposition at all. No presence in the air, poor ball control and,most of all, his positioning when a cross is coming is woeful. Every cross on saturday saw him positioned behind 2 defenders somehow expecting the ball to bypass them so that he could tap in. I've read that the u23 strikers aren't yet ready. Well ok so then I think that Silva should play so that,hopefully, this old ex centre forward can grind his teeth a little less on Wednesday night.
Its interesting that Taylor is rapidly becoming this season’s scapegoat. At least he was my scapegoat last season too, get your own bandwagon jumpers :D
Its his positioning for me too, always has been, I heard Steve Sutton commenting on it on the drive home trying desperately hard not to slate him saying he was not that type of player bit goodness knows what type of player he is meant to be then. To be fair he hit a decent shot second half when Spence I think picked him out but the ball came straight to him. Just wish he would make better runs, is it in his contract he cant attack the near post or something?
