He did better last season when he was first name on the sheet when fit. This season, Taylor is first choice and he's never got going. He's a markedly inferior player to his previous spell with us and he can't run the way he once did. I don't doubt he'd do an OK job if the team as a whole were in better form, but with everyone out of sorts, he's not going to achieve too much on his own these days. The way in which it seemed some were delighting in him being sent off yesterday in the match thread was pretty embarrassing (for them).

But its hard to argue with any of the points being made here. He does seem to have lost what made him valuable and has increased the things that made him a liability. Hopefully he comes good but I really can't see it unfortunately. Appreciate the comment about Hurst having a blind spot where LJL is concerned. Especially considering the contract we handed him when he came. Codhead, socialist, recovered addict.

Was decent in the air and reasonably quick as well as strong.  Now he has a low work rate as he is too old and heavy built to getaroind the pitch even when  only coming on for 20 mins. He basically stays in one area of the pitch and jobs around that. So no defending from the front from him. He's strong and that's about it.

If you watch he clearly swings an elbow dangerously. He made not have fully connected with anyone but its dangerous which in return is a straight red card.

Another striker alongside him would make all the difference. 1 man against a whole defence is never going to work. Messi wouldn't score with the tactics we have to endure week in week out.
