Everyone misses eventually. Jorginho was seen as one of the best takers in the Prem. He missed two recently and now he's off pens altogether. Taylor will eventually miss one, and with his run up it will likely look hilarious
That's the first time he's looked up to speed and like his old self.
He looked lean and sharp.
hate to say it as I despise him for how he left, but he's a cracking player when fit.
True, but then how fit do you need to be to take a slow walk to the penalty spot to score a goal ?
has he scored many goals not from the penalty spot since he came back from injury last season ? Would he have got as many goals in that time as Washington has scored for us so far this season in his 8 starts ? Or would he be playing a cameo role like Chuks is at the moment ?

Short memory? Of course if he was playing now he would outscore any of our strikers, there is no doubt there.
He has played 10 games, starting 4 , scored 2 goals. One Penalty i believe. Hard to compare with our lot, Washington has started well but LT is an out and out goalscorer.
LT was unreal for us on the pitch and good at penalties, if we had him we have a guaranteed 20 goals + this season, Washington might get 15-20 + we will have to wait and see.
Rickie Lambert was the best penalty taker I've seen in terms of technique. His philosophy was that you pick a side and imagine the keeper is going to dive the right way. You hammer is so f*****g hard that if he does and manages to get a hand to it his hand's coming clean off his wrist!
Definitely not fancied by Hughton. As much as I don’t like him, what I’ve seen of him he’s looked lively. For Hughton to drop him so early on means he doesn’t fancy him at all. Bench warmer now with Bonne and Phillips. Happy days.

Don't want to go over this again but I will anyway.
Yes he was unreal for us and good at penalties unfortunately he pissed off when we needed him most and shit on his own teammates.
He is scum of the highest order and I hope he fails miserably.

The horrible disloyal cnut.
But your response was why his slow penalty works, it just does. Someone has already said its because he waits for the last split second and yet to miss this way. You asked has he scored any goals which are not penalties, i have confirmed he has. You mentioned Washington scoring 5 goals, i confirmed i think put Lyle in the team this season and again he will outscore anyone.
I get the hate and do not disagree on that part, he is a c***. But still you cant dismiss his ability and proven facts above.
I couldn't care less if he fails or does well now, he is irrelevant. Odd when it sounds like im defending him when i am more just responding with facts which were asked. I would be more than happy for this thread to die and we dont become so obsessed with him.
I think that the reason Taylor is so successful with penalties on this slow walk up of his is because the keeper is disorientated by the walk and seems somehow to have too much time to react, and probably does so too early, leaving Taylor because of the lack of power generated by a run up just passing the ball into the net.
Lyle was always two players in one. Could play as a winger as well as a striker and so could Karlan Grant. Their interplay partnership would've seen us finish in 2nd place but it was not to be. ( We finished 3rd with Parker who couldn't score)

Some comments just don't age well! 😁

Just because he left us the way he did, doesn’t make him a bad player! It makes him an arsehole, two different things.
No stopping him now
Slaaa*g !!
Seems to have found his feet
We'd walk L1 if we swapped Lyle for Bogle.
Good luck to him, our talisman during his time with us and you can’t take it away from him, he’s a quality player.
post is now defunct and dead in the water, or are we
now Taylor fans

Taylor ability is the reason we are gutted.
