Taylor Wants To Rid Himself Of 'Injury Prone' Tag!

Steven Taylor is hoping his run of injuries is finally behind him. He has a horror record of only playing more than half Newcastle's fixtures in a season - three times in ten seasons. Steven Taylor: “I feel good and fresh. “It’s just what I wanted – getting out there and playing games. “It’s given me confidence. I’m feeling good and training hard. We just want to get more wins now. “There are a lot of games now, which is great for me. I just want to keep going to the end of the season. “We’ll have a strong team out (against Metalist), and we’ll give it a good go. “We want to go as far as we can in this competition. "Coloccini and I have got a great understanding together – he’s a great player. “We know each others strengths and weaknesses. I think that showed (in the first leg). “The gaffer, JC (John Carver) and Stoney (Steve Stone) work on it a lot. They’re always trying to surround us with attackers. We’ve got to cope with that, and I think that showed. “The more times we play together, the better understanding we can get as a defence. “I thought Mapou (Yanga-Mbiwa) was fantastic on his debut.”   Source: Newcastle United Mad
