    Makes the difference when he's playing. Vital for the remainder.

    So crucial to how we attack. Struggles defensively against better sides but domestically he's so important, crazy how much he influences our fluidity going forward.

    Got to still be a Johnston assist that though, touch off the defenders head but I’d count it for him still.

    I think fans have realised how crucial he is for us, and since that penny’s dropped, he’s kicked up another level with that backing and confidence behind him.

    The grumbles about him doesn’t effect him as much as it would a lot of other players, but the backing has spurred him on from what I can see.

    I think technically it doesn't count as an assist because the defender played the ball but I'd hope it was given to AJ where it really matters, on @ILoveTheCeltic's spreadsheet.

    It’s always counted differently from different sources, some count winning a penalty that’s scored as an assist and everything. There’s some that count a deflection as still being an assist, but dont count a clearance that goes to another player as an assist. So it depends on who’s judging, that one I don’t think would be counted as clearance or properly defending to knock on to another player. It was a deflection but clearly still AJ setting up a goal.

    That’s when subjective stuff comes into these stats, which is often forgotten about when they’re being used to judge players. Key passes and chances created is a biggy for me, it’s probably a much better judge than assists but again, who’s judging what a key pass or big chance is?

    As I said, that's @ILoveTheCeltic's job.

    If he had the physical attributes to match the technical side of his game and his football intelligence, he’d be nowhere near playing for Celtic. Just have to pray he stays fit as he’s absolutely crucial.

    Reckon he’ll make an excellent coach when he’s done playing.

    Hes * brilliant man. Sure I'd like him to be 6ft 4, run like bolt, have skills like messi and assist like de bruyne but then he wouldn't be our Taylor. So * that imaginary LB, we've already got the best Scotland has to offer... in our price range :56:

    I've said it for years, he's got the technical and mental ability to be a cracking cm/am.
    He's just not physically gifted. Love the wee guy, would hate to have to listen to his voice all day :56:

    Quite obvious how much they have targeted our left side today.

    He's so slow and weak. Him or Bernabei? Oh aye no contest. But we need better.

    Just copy n paste that. It's been the case so many times this season and will continue to happen.

    And it works.

    The left side is shocking, both full backs crap and Maeda can’t play football

    Only time Taylor ever plays good is if a team sits 10 men behind the ball and he can roam around the middle with plenty of time to make passes.

    Any team that actually tries to get at us where he has to play in his actual position as a full back he is * abysmal. Can’t defend for * n panics like *. A man down when a team turns up to play

    When he's good, he's very good.

    When he's bad, he's an imposter.
