Diego Laxalt!

Agree Prof. Could be bit of a wildcard for us...

 

Apparently he is flying in training and his fitness is excellent.

 

Really hope he starts. The successor to the Latino * throne left by Izaguirre.

 

By any chance, can he deliver a set piece?

 

Think he will defo start even if it's a back 4

 

Aye. Shades of El Kaddouri about this.

 

Good question.

 

Nah Taylor will start but think he’ll definitely come on, his pace against tired legs would be a big impact.

 

Not sure mate. Will depend on how fit he is.

 

Think he is a shoe in for a start. If its 3-5-2 we are playing taylor would get torn apart imo.
Laxalt is an unknown by all accounts but being from Uruguay I'm sure he has the mettle for it and will make a few huns his *

 

naw would have been

traitre

 

Really hope Lenny is brave and starts with him. Seems to have pace to burn which is a vital commodity in football today. Will bomb up that left side and will give them plenty to think about. Frimpong doing same thing on the right will frighten life out of them. If Taylor plays then it all gets very pedestrian and predictable. I think Taylor does have his qualities but Lenny must be brave.

 

I don't like to bash players and I know Taylor has been getting a lot of stick, sometimes a bit over the top. But I do think if Lenny starts him on Saturday as a wing back we will be far too predictable and all the huns will need to do is just nullify Frimpong or double up on him and we will have to rely on breaking them down through the middle with one twos etc.

It won't be easy for them to stop Frimpong, but Taylor will do * all against them in an attacking sense, he won't take Tavernier on or try and penetrate and get in behind their defense like Frimpong will. Taylor will get the ball and play it back to Ajer or back to Brown or play it inside and then the ball will get switched out to the right and so forth.

That's why I would like us to go with Laxalt. Granted, he might not be fully fit, might be a bit of a risk throwing him in but he's a flying machine and he has a good goal scoring record at a very high level. I have a feeling the likes of Tavernier wouldn't know what hit him if Laxalt was flying at him with the ball.

He could be * and I could be way off, but I think we will be far too predictable with Taylor as wing back.

 

I would like Laxalt to start too but really cannot see it, I feel Lenny won't want to batter Taylors confidence by dropping him right away for another young guy just in the door. I think, he'll bring him on later in game unless Taylor is a notable disaster then maybe he'd fling him in at half time.

 

Taylor's pish and should be nowhere near the team on Saturday

 

Heart says Laxalt starts and has a stormer, head says Taylor starts and has a shiter.

 

Unwarranted stick for Taylor.

 

I'd throw him in , no crowd means he won't get the shock or feel as much pressure as he would do , looks really good so let him.loose.
