That was the first thing I noticed too, when he came on.

He's trying for the simmie shoulders just needs to evolve into the player

Big Ash had a game that is fairly typical of how he plays 90% of the time. These games tend to go unnoticed. So I'll give him some praise cause I know it'll probably annoy some folk.

The problem was when he thought he was some sort of Franko Baresi and could step out of defence with the ball into midfield, those were when most fans were on edge in case he over ran it or lost possession. 

Taylor is a decent enough center half when he sticks to defending 101.

To be fair he has done that for most of this season (stuck to simple defending)

McInnes has worked out that you've got to play him in the middle of the three.  That way he doesn't have to do much with the ball on the floor other than give it to Hoban or Considine

That may indeed be the case, effectively nullifying Taylors weaknesses and focusing on his strengths.

Certainly watching the games this season, I don't see Taylor as the liability he previously was.

Certainly as effective as Findlay of Killie.

I've not seen enough of Motherwell to compare against Gallagher (who showed well enough in the Scotland games), but the Motherwell defence this season would suggest that he's not a messiah either.

Ash Taylor is good in the air. When he keeps it simple, he’s generally fine. 

He has two main faults.

1) when he forgets he’s not Franz Beckenbauer.

2) Lack of concentration & positional sense sometimes

He's not really fine though is he?  Aberdeen will never win a trophy with the useless cunt in the team

[Andy_123]

He’s definitely improved since his first stint here, but that’s not saying much.

He’s usually pretty poor at tracking runners etc, so as soon as we are up against a team that don’t play hoofball tactics he’s a worry.

Exactly. At fault for 2 celtic goals in the 3-3 draw due to poor positional sense

#2. Touch of the Langfield genetics about him.

generally arite and then just when you least expect it or need it, calamity strikes.

Aye probably.

If we are to get better, the likes of Taylor shouldn’t be in the strongest first X1.

Thats what i dont get though 

Why is the likes of Taylor not told to stop trying those kind of balls and keep it simple, because he simply can't do it

I would say this year he has

[Poodler]

Taylor's wife needs to be shut up on Twitter. What a horrendous embarrassment she is. 
 

if he had any integrity, he could contribute to an old thread here

Strangely,  not so much in the other teams box.  Heads it over the bar usually.

True. He should get 4-5 goals a season from corners & free kicks.

Then again he shouldn’t play enough games to get 4-5 goals.
