Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
Slightly off topic - however sticking with with judging players, do you still think Benson will be loaned out this season?

Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
I think we are blessed to have the services of THB for the season. However I feel that will be it unless VK is very, very persuasive. I think this lad in the nearness of time will find his level with an Everton or Villa size club long term.

Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
I think he’s fantastic. At least once a game we lose it and he finds himself having someone running at him almost 1 on 1 and I don’t think he’s been beaten. As above the late intervention saved 2 points.
His driven passes into feet are a joy to watch, as is him waltzing into midfield carrying the ball.
I think the talk comparing him with Tarky is interesting, I’d like to see him paired with Tarky. A monster physical centre back who can play with THB skills as above.

Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
I wouldn’t, probably the best English CB for his age, I’m not getting too carried away but he plays the way Southgate wants his defenders to play and let be honest, it’s rare our CBS have to do anything other than in a tournament

Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
Clearly not since the window is closed?
But back to the topic,
These are the following England players that are a similar age that he would have to beat out to get a game for England:
L Colwill
Chalobah
Godfrey
Guehi
Tomori
Tanganga
Hill
Wilmot
Kelly
C Cresswell
Look he might very well do it. But even to get an England cap he’s got some fantastic players to beat to it.

Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
May not be as good as the 3 CB's we lost but two of them had the advantage of an additional 10 or so years experience, but he is better than both they were at his age. However the key thing is he WANTS to play for us, the other three had no wish toNewcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 17, 2022 9:27 pmProbably going to be a decent premier league Cb.
Some people love to over egg our talent. He’s knowhere near as good as the CBs we lost this summer.

Question is which one of Mee/Tarks would be best playing next to him in this new system?

Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
Brilliant today. He's outstanding in defending 1v1 situations (and this will be music to the ears of the big clubs and the national team), and his distribution is the very best I've seen from a Burnley defender. Yes, he needs to improve on his physicality against the biggest Championship forwards, but that will come - he's 20 years of age.
Ignore what Newcastleclaret says about him btw, this is the guy who called Collins bambi on ice. To call him clueless would an insult to clueless people.

Hmm.

I doubt he will have more successful career than Collins. Collins is playing regular starting eleven football for a top ten premier league team. Harwood Bellis has some way to go to near that level.
Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
Very composed (especially considering his age) with a lethal pass in him. Be delighted to sign him permanently

It's not even remotely close, like at all. He's considerably better on the ball than Tarkowski, alot quicker too.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 17, 2022 9:31 pmYou can’t seriously believe he is massively better than Tarks on the ball?
Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
He’s absolute quality,Having seen the lack of quality we have at centre half in the England squad I’d be amazed if he wasn’t called up in the next few years.
Can u imagine Mee or tarkowski trying to play in this system ? No chance pair of great defenders,blocking,winning headers,throwing themselves in front of shots.But footballing wise,both of them had one outball,usually a 70 yard diagonal punt.
THB is the best passer of a ball for a centre half I’ve ever seen in a claret shirt
Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
Nathan Collins is older than THB and more experienced. Also I'm surprised you mention lack of pace, I think he's quick across the ground for a CB.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 17, 2022 9:47 pmOh no doubt better at this age.

Colwill - is he getting game time at Brighton?
Guehi - very good, like him alot.
Tomori - another excellent CB.
Tanganga - plays right back for Spurs when he can get in the side.
Hill - I dont even know who that is
Wilmot - poor player
Kelly - nowhere near THB
Cresswell - THB's u21 partner, Millwall fans aren't too impressed.
Half of that list is either full backs, average CBs or players who are 4 years older than THB.

The championship has never been this bad before, the step up is massive. If he can do it the prem I would agree. But right now I can’t see him doing it at that level
It’s probably not be the strongest Championship division of recent years. It is however light years ahead of what it was 10, 15 or 20 years ago.
The influx of foreign players into the English game has naturally seen the levels improve in the lower leagues. Better players have found themselves at a lower level than they might have when competition for places, across clubs and leagues, was less fierce.
Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
Neither Mee/Tarkowski are quick enough to play a high line, neither are good enough on the ball. They are both suited to a park the bus long ball system, where you don't need pace to defend 1v1's on the edge of your own penalty box. Both very good at bodies on the line defending in your own area and blood and thunder header header header. Mee and Tarkowski can't pass for toffee, Kompany would be going ape shite at Mee's no look pump down the line.

Not his best game and he nearly gifted an equaliser in his dithering and mix up with Muric.
But he is quality going forward and must ensure he doesn't leave in January.

He’s a great player. But until he’s playing week in week out in the Premier League I think it’s impossible to make any predictions of how good he will be. The difference between the divisions is absolute light years.
Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
His range of passing is almost as good as James Tarkowski thought his own range was.
There are 19 rows of people sat in the Bob Lord stand that feel a whole lot safer now that JT isn't pinging his pinpoint diagonal cross field balls towards our wingers.

Which is partly why I believe THB looks very good. He’s going to be a decent prem player no arguments there. But he’s not going to play for a top team that is just pure hyperbole based on a few decent games at Championship level.

He’s is truly excellent at parts of the game but he has a real howler in him.
The foul yesterday. The stupid handball against newcastle. I’m sure as he gets older he will stop but right now he’s pretty clumsy.

Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
THB has been an important signing for us, and in a possession based system it's key that our CB'S are comfortable playing out from the back which he is, and he'll play his part in setting up plenty of goals this season, however he's clearly nowhere near the finished article, but he is still only 20 and has the potential to develop into a decent PL defender.

Find it a bit insulting that KRBFC has just watched Tarks & Mee give basically week in week out 7/10 + performances in the best league in the world for a good 6 seasons then try and say that for sure THB is miles better than them at after playing 10 games in the champ?
Of course Tarky could play alongside him in our system btw, you’re making it out like he was a complete clogger - more skilful than given credit for

Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
When comparing him and Cahill you need to remember 1 thing. Cahill had an excellent CB with a wealth of experience leading the Defence. THB is the leader of out defence.
Personally feel he is already as good as most English CB's and he is a young lad.

What I actually said was he's better on the ball than Tarkowski and I think he'll go on to have a career better than Tarkowski. They're different kind of defenders, suited to different systems. I've seen milk turn quicker than Tarkowski and I don't know who told him he could pass the ball, they were clearly lying to him. Brilliant in the air though and bodies on the line stuff.

Different defenders suit different systems, it's not ''utter ********'', it's how football works.
Agility and speed wise, THB is streets ahead imo. Defending is alot of turning your body and dashing 5 yards, not a straight line 100m sprint (which I think THB would win comfortably anyway).

THB is doing well and is a great prospect, let’s just not lose our minds and all objectivity
Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
The Hull game the defensive line got caught pushing high up and forward, the forward is running in a straight line whilst the defender needs to turn and sprint. The Hull attacker was quick and had an enormous body positional advantage and therefor its not a fair race. Tarky wasn't playing in a team with a defensive line pushing up to the halfway line with 50 yards of space inbehind.CoolClaret wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 4:41 pmRewatch Hull strikers leaving him for dead.

Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
Not sure how you think it's a fair race when THB starts with his back to the finish line whilst the attacker is running forwards. Still don't see the relevance to Hull's striker and Tarkowski either. You're just incredibly negative about the new team, good job you don't even attend games.CoolClaret wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 5:05 pmThere has absolutely been times where we had a higher line chasing a game and Tarks/Mee has been defending in space.

Re: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
Had a great game yesterday and won 4/4 aerial duels to boot. He's got natural footballing ability and is very intelligent defender, the physical side is easier to develop than both of those skillsets so there's no reason why he can't develop to be a regular England International (possibly not starting every game).
Honestly think that if we do go up we'll sign him permanently for around £15m with a City retaining a buyback option (probably around £40m). Think he would opt for us over "bigger" sides due to Kompany, being settled and style of play.
