这篇文章写得不错 大概是说自从木门变成玻璃门去了皇马以後 新堡本来成功改善的防守再次变得一厥不振 Orz 也因为芭乐二人组 (Boumsong+Bramble) 实在让大家大开眼界 也间接影响了 Taylor 的成长 对於 Taylor 的出现, 我们充满期待 但不会以为现在的 Taylor 能够达到 Woodgate 的表现 毕竟他只有20岁, 需要成长的空间 好好加油, 顺便附上 Taylor 的帅照 ^^ http://0rz.tw/431Wu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Tayl of regret Oct 15 2006　　　By Neil Farrington, The Sunday Sun 　　I can't think of anyone with greater reason to regret Jonathan Woodgate's incessant infirmity than Steven Taylor. 　　Not even Woodgate himself. 　　After all, it was Woody's over-familiarity with Newcastle United's physios that earned him a move to Real Madrid. 　　And that, whichever way you sliced it, was a result. 　　Had he not spent so long staring at the ceiling while on Tyneside, the Magpies would have moved heaven and earth to keep him. 　　Well, you'd have hoped so anyway. 　　Had they succeeded, you can be pretty sure Taylor would be a better defender than he appears today. 　　Right now, this is one 20-year-old who looks like he has taken on too much, too young. 　　First things first: Taylor (left) has all the physical attributes to follow Woodgate into the full England team. 　　Strong as an ox and brave as a lion, but blessed with genuine ability on the ball. 　　Unfortunately, those qualities have recently been made to count for nothing - not least in his latest Under-21 international outing - by his mental failings. 　　Taylor's impetuosity sometimes borders on the reckless and can appear, as it did in midweek, utterly brainless. 　　Now, Woodgate (right) is neither mastermind nor saint off the field. But I've not seen a more intelligent defender on the pitch at St James's Park. 　　He may have been on his back too often, but you'd very rarely see him on his backside. 　　Would that Taylor had been learning his trade alongside so princely a player. 　　Instead, he has been paired with calamity kings, Jean-Alain Boumsong and Titus Bramble. 　　It's to the enduring disgrace of both men that a player still in his teens ended up acting as their senior partner. And it's been to Taylor's detriment. 　　But the shame extends beyond Boumsong and Bramble. 　　For whose fault is it that Newcastle United have failed to buy a top-class centre-half in more than two years since Woodgate walked (sorry, limped)? 　　Much of the blame must go to the manager who bought Boumsong. A manager who also treated Taylor disgracefully last season. 　　A manager named Souness. 　　His reign plumbed few lower depths than when he paid ￡8 million for a defender who had been peddled for his true value - nothing - five months earlier. 　　But in patching Taylor up and putting him back in the team rather than allow him to undergo an operation on a dislocated shoulder, Souness hit rock bottom. 　　As that episode kept Taylor from kicking a ball in anger for the best part of six months, it would be a wonder if he was at his best now, so early in the following season. 　　And there is no doubt that he has the talent to still forge the starry career which seemed an inevitability not so long ago. 　　But with the Newcastle defence still bereft without Woodgate, I just hope Taylor doesn't decide that he can only reach the firmament elsewhere. --
