There really is a lot of unqualified rubbish talked on here about Taylor which people spout off as though it is gospel truth .
You really do have no idea whether he is a good or bad influence on the team unless you are in that changing room. I would suggest not many know what sort of character he is or whether he is a positive person in the team.
He must have something going for him to be named captain and for Austin to refuse to let him go in the summer .
I am not particularly defending his performances this season, the statistics don’t lie and he travels from Merseyside but he did perform well last season when all is said and done.
I just think the criticism is a bit over the top .
what doesn't help him is the way he publicly berates fellow players when the goals have gone in. i have no idea what he is saying, but it doesn't seem to be overly positive or motivational to me.
the stats don't lie, without him, we have had significantly better results this season.
