IF we had won i think it would have needed a 10 goal swing to give them 2nd IF we won up there?? so by drawing it effectively gave them 2nd. Nah we still could have finished above them but the tarriers players were already on the beaches by that point. Bearsden bear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougie76 15,359 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 We don't have a single player that deserves to be captain, hopefully someone steps up this season. eejay the dj 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperLeeMcCulloch 2,330 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 His performance levels fell off a cliff last season after he got his contract and the armband, as much as I hate Mcgregor for what he did he would have been the best option by a clear distance.

Didn’t see Gough or Butcher and was too young to Remember Amo but I did say it’s shite that he was happy with a point.

If we do go with three CBs and attacking wing-backs this could be a really big opportunity for him to shine. He could turn out to be one of our best players this season.

As a wingback there will be a lot less pressure on Tavernier defensively and he’ll be able to focus on attacking more which he’s great at. Let’s not forget he got just as many goals and assists as Forrest who was nominated for POTY. Tavernier put chances on a plate for Morelos against celtic and Hibs but unfortunately our striker blew those chances. Without the ball I think John and Tavernier will come back and give us five across the back but in attack they’ll bomb forward and be our width. I think Tavernier has the potential to be an outstanding player at SPFL level if we can play to his strengths and get things right through the middle. Let’s not forget, most of our goals were lost through the middle of the pitch last season and I’d put that down to a weak central midfield and inability to establish a solid CB pairing.

TMB 14,167 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 38 minutes ago, eejay the dj said: That is decent and fair comeback TMB Still not convinced though MON played a 3 CB system with wingbacks and had success domestically and in Europe. His right wingback was Agathe who was terrible on the ball. Agathe would use his pace to get forward then kick the ball in to the stand more often than not which was a constant source of frustration for them. Agathe might have been better defensively but I certainly think Tavernier is a better overall footballer for that position and we can have success with him. In Scotland we should be dominating possession most of the time so ability in the ball is important and Tavernier certainly has that. If we can get the back three right, and get two solid CMs in front of it, Tavernier could be a major asset for us. This will be a big season for Taverbier and I have high hopes for John too.

TMB 14,167 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I’d also add that it’s important to have two attack minded wingbacks otherwise we’ll end up with 5 across the back in Scottish football and we don’t want that. We need guys who want to get forward in those wide areas. During Izaguirre’s debut season he won Scotland’s POTY because he was attacking constantly - It didn’t matter than he couldn’t defend. If we can get things right at the back and through the middle I see no reason why Tavernier can’t have that same level of impact for us as an attacking wingback. Games in which we need a bit more defensively Flanagan is now an option as Gerrard stated very recently we won’t be gung-ho all the time.
