Williamson or S.Taylor?

i dont rate him anymore i think he could be better of a loan to championship to have more experience...im just saying

 

williamson for me as well

 

Everyone was raving about Simpson before the spurs game saying he was one of the players of the season, but he's an easy target and people have now turned on him. Fickle IMO, same as Guthrie except the other way around, people loved him in the CCC, a couple of poor games they hated him, and now he's flavour of the month again.

 

I agree that unfortunately thats how a lot of our fans act with almost any player we have, I admitted that hes improved this season and never liked him much in the championship if I'm honest, hes got improving to do, but until he stops making obvious mistakes people will never completely warm to him, including myself, so if that makes me fickle aswell so be it.

 

I do tend to agree with what you say AbGlo and I do again on some points but not on others. I do think that Taylor is better on the ball than Williamson (Williamson seems like a no-nonsense centre back, hoofing the ball up). However this is also what I like about Williamsons game, i'm guessing you've heard the saying 'if in doubt, kick it out'...well Williamson does this and I agree with this being a defender. Also Williamson is better in the air defensively than Taylor, although Taylor seems to get better in the air in the oppositions box. On another note, Williamson has a better reading of the game and better positional sense than Taylor btu on the other hand Taylor wears the badge on his sleeve and puts his body (or arm/hand) on the line when needed.

Looking at what i've just put, there doesn't seem to be too much between them but I feel more comfortable with Williamson at the back and I think he has a better understanding with Colocini than Taylor.

That is however jsut my opinion...it does seem to have split quite a lot of people though which can only be a good thing for the squad...a player who is good enough from the bench!

 

I think Simpson has been solid, I don't want to make it sound like he's as good as G. Neville was but he's that sort of player. Never really has a mare but never seems to get the plaudits. Where G. Neville was always a 7.5/10 player (no matter what the score was), I think Simpson is a 6.5/10 player, no matter what the score is. He just gets on with his job.

 

taylor is far the better defender, he also offers more of a threat in the box at corners and free kicks! i think he's better then collo but i am bias willo and taylor will form our central pairing for a few years ti come !

 

better than colloare you mad have you seen the strike he did on saturday? he is way better than taylor

 

They are both RCBs so they wouldn't fit in the same team, you need a RCB and a LCB. Anyway Colo is playing fantastic for the second season running. He is a legend and is loved by most fans. This season Colo, Nolan, Bartoon, Carroll and Tiote have been our key players. We need Colo if we are going to finish 12th or above.

 

i agree with you

 

errrr no u dnt! providing u have two reasonably good defenders they can slot in either central position! communication is 80% of the job in that area! they would be amazing

 

Taylor and Williamson together would be a recipe for disaster IMO

 

They have to be really really good to play in the RCB and LCB position. Just look at England vs Germany in the world cup. The best English defender, John Terry, was moved from LCB (his normal position) to RCB and look what happened there. Also the vast majority of the best CBs in the world only play in one of the two CB positions (LCB or RCB) throughout their whole career.

 

I think when Tiote is playing it covers the problem of having 2 RCB in the team and against a defensive side Saylor gives that little extra from corners that could swing the match but one vs one just have to side with Williamson this season.

 

Williamson!!!!!! I think he and Colo have the better partnership, plus Williamson has positional sense which Taylor seems to lack.

 

anyone know what IMO mean?

 

It might have been because he missed a few games but when he played at Sunderland he didn't look comfortable at all. He was better against Spurs though.

In my opinion.

thanks

 

When I see or hear the team news I'm always more at ease when I see Williamson is playing.


Taylor tends to back off abit too much for me. Its like strikers see this and smack it at him, it hits either his hand/arm or takes a deflection and ends up in the back of our net.
