    He isn't the quickest on a decent pitch

    I think the conditions aren't helping him, and I also don't think he is "Celtic" fit yet. Looks to be breathing out his * a lot during games.

    Use of the ball hasn't been all that bad but would love to see him whip crosses in quicker

    He’s decent as a solid back up. Far better than Hayes and Boli.

    Really need a quality LB in the summer though.

    Who said Boli is better than Taylor?

    Boli is truly dreadful.

    Spot on. Taylor is an SPFL player, he's not at the standard to take us up a notch - back up. That being said, I still don't think he's better than Boli overall.

    Not at his best but the conditions were shocking. One mediocre/poor game doesn't make him a bad player.

    Agree, was only player with pass marks on Thursday for me. That pitch wasn't for anyone playing football!

    He was one of our best players the other night. He was rotten today but I think everyone was bar Jullien, Bitton and Rogic when he came on.

    He’s decent and I’m sure will improve. But I’ve seen nothing to suggest he’s first choice left back material in the long term.

    We spent millions on that position a few months ago and we still need better.

    I think Boli suits the 352 far better with his pace but Taylor is probably the better option when playing 4 at the back.

    We had the best of both worlds with Tierney with his pace, ability to take players on and his defensive qualities.

    yeah bolis a wingback and taylors a left back

    struggled badly today but it happens, hopefully we can make him better

    if hes gonna play high we need to give him the right balls as he aint got the standing start pace to beat a man

    Terrible today. He offers absolutely nothing. No pace, no strength, no skill, can’t pass, shoot or cross.
