    His throw ins are embarrassing for a professional footballer..

    Has to take a run then qee gallop just to throw it 10 yards. Almost always gives it away with them..

    Lost count the amount of times he threw it to a man under server pressure on their wrong side or to a sheep player to break on us..

    One of many things that wind me up about him..

    Was as bad as I've seen him today but I'm not going to just turn on the boy on the second game of the season. Still the number one for that position for me.

    The demonstrative improvement we would see if we had a AJ type in LB..

    Imagine him up against Hirving Lozano or Ousmane Dembele in about a months time?

    Some howl.

    Hopefully not for much longer.

    Absolutely roasted today. Terrible.

    I think people were actually quite realistic with him. At one point of the season he was in the conversation to be player of the year.

    I don't think many (if any) got passmarks from our Champions League campaign.

    You can't ignore last season just because he's not played well this season.

    He's an easy upgrade but give the man the credit he deserves.

    Slow, weak and low in confidence. We need a serious upgrade.

    * game and in poor form, but he's more than capable against these teams. Had him as a potential POTY before that injury, just hasn't got back upto pace since then.

    Hopefully he can get back up to scratch again

    Taylor was excellent last season, and he's pretty much made for the inverted role.

    Its obvious he doesn't work in Rodgers system, he's the weak spot by far, Aberdeen targeted him all game.

    No issue keeping him, but we need to bring a LB in pronto.

    Last week it was Ralston, this week its Taylor. Didnt have a great game at all but some of the reaction is pretty poor to be honest.

    Theres a few players in the side who seem to get off more lightly than others when they have a poor game.

    Taylor was huge for us last season. He is as honest and as hardworking a player as there is.

    No harm to the guy but he should be back up to a first choice LB who has more in his locker.

    He was utterly horrendous today. As bad as I've ever seen him.

    He's now a senior member of the squad and has played LB most of his career. No excuses really.

    Also Ralston isn't our first choice RB so the comparison doesn't stand up.

    Needs competition, a serious upgrade needed.

    I'll give him credit for his work moving forward last year, absolutely, but he was still very poor at the back. People had their blinders on, you couldn't say anything against the boy at some points. I'm glad realism has set in. As much as I'd like to see him do well, I just don't think he's cut out for it as an out and out fullback. Some boys will adapt to the new game, I don't think he's one of them unfortunately.

    Yeah he had a bad game. A few were not at it today. Hes had a lot more good games than he has bad. Its an overreaction.

    The comparison does stand up, last week Ralston was poor and this week he was MOTM, regardless.

    What I mean is. We have AJ to come back. We only have Mr sleepyhead to challenge Taylor.

    We need an upgrade mate. It's not debatable imo.
