the goal machine 7,801 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Thought I'd focus on the one positive. He was superb tonight - some FK and put in some great crosses. Yet everyone will still think he's our defensive weak link when he's our best by a mile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 He looked comfortable on a terrible pitch,he should have came away with a goal and a couple of assists if our forwards had been sharper tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Summerisle 1,641 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I've had the feeling he's been told to reign his attacking side in a bit this season. Guessing he got told to crack on in the second half or maybe he just decided to take the initiative himself! Either way, thank god we have him.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 He and Barton were my only 2 pass marks. His free kick was top drawer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser1041 9,088 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 He can be a fantastic fullback and hopefully we see his best years. its been a while since every free kick felt like a chance. well done op aswell for focusing on the positives while I look for a cat to kick about the house.

Prso's headband 35,428 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Said before anytime he makes a mistake he's hounded for it. Aw drop him, play him on the wing etc Wallace has been the best part of embarassing the whole season and gets away with it. Tav has been our best player followed by Forrester.

STEPPS BOY 73,890 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Can only imagine his frustration when he whips those crosses across 6 yard line and our striker is on edge of box and our left sided striker is standing on touchline at other side.

Barton played well but sold the goal imo ,again (den's park ). If anyone can bear to watch it again they'll see he should have backed off kiltie and held his position but he charged towards him and didn't have the pace to close him down which gave him the time to pick his pass. I'd expect our defence to fuc* it up from there, but would also expect Barton to avoid schoolboy errors and while I'm at it what about him losing his man again from a corner ?

TMB 14,167 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Tavernier is a fantastic player and criminally underrated by our support. He's the best full-back in the country going forward. Scores goals, creates goals, and is a free-kick specialist. He's also improved defensively this season and has done very well so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie Mr Magic Cooper 515 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 That goal was worthy of winning any match, at any level. Unfortunately it just got us on terms with Killie and we totally failed to take the initiative, dropping yet another 2 points. 30 minutes (25 +5 injury time) against 10 men and they're the favourites to go down this season. This is far from good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Tav has been terrific. People forget how bad Kiernan makes him look as well. This guy is so important to us going forward. Whipped some beautiful crosses in today as he has been for weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmcdonald1990 40 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Easily our best player tonight. Great crosses and that fk was superb Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the same feeling mate with all the flak our defence has been getting since the old firm a think mw has told him to concentrate more on his duties as a rb..but tav wants up there and when he does he adds quality crosses nice wee runs and passes and has a shit hot strike..

Lord Summerisle 1,641 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I'd like to see Hodson be given a chance at the right back slot with Tav pushed forward in a 4-4-2 or 4-1-3-2. I think he'd be by far our best link up man with his pace, ability to be a man and his crossing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Defensively he has made incredible strides and deserves huge credit for that. Many didn't think he had it in him but fair play to him. He's not perfect but he's developing into a very decent full back. His free kicks are ridiculous but his crossing at times are genuinely out of the top drawer. The biggest thing that pleases me about him, and it primarily seems to apply to just Tav and also Forrester, is their directness. It's almost like he plays the way you played in the school playground. When he gets the ball he just wants to run hard at the full back and either get a shot away or get a cross in. He plays as if the school bell is about to ring or it's next goals the winner. I like that type of mentality and enthusiasm. He's a tough, powerful, athletic, technically gifted player. He really does have all the ingredients to evolve into a top top player. Long may it continue...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Always said he would benefit with a holding midfielder sitting in front of him although having two is maybe overdoing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
