No where near as suspect as he was when he first arrived so he is obviously working on this. Got to think at times that the team shape has to cover for him when he goes forward especially if we play two sitting midfielders. One of them has to step out to the right back slot if Tav is forward trying to assist in the attacking third. Folk moan about him being out of position but still expect him to be there 10 secs after hitting the byeline and crossing the ball. Its impossible to do what he does going forward whilst being in a defensive position every time the opposition breaks too. For me, it's more about what he does as a defender when he is actually defending. He's improved significantly, intercepts well, doesn't get caught ball watching, doesn't get targeted now as a weakness like he was by Stokes in the cup final. He's learned the art of defending enough now that he's not a defensive weakness whilst being a fantastic attacking outlet.

hooooootchy 405 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Stats are one thing. But he's also played some of our most embarrassing defeats in our history. I like tav but till he lifts a trophy he'll just be another player that wore our Jersey. When tav steps up as captain to lift 55 he'll go down in history graeme_4, Bigdave30, ger4life_1872 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camshy 812 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Everyone entitled to their opinions but I can't understand why some of us slate him. Tav is without doubt our best right back since Gary Stevens, and that was a long time ago. Malkytfp1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersMedia 35,961 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I honestly don’t mind he isn’t getting much attention from decent PL clubs would be almost impossible to replace gogzy and livibear101 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually watch him he fucks up far more often when he is already back in position and simply can’t track a runner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate you would have to spend every penny we get for him trying to replace what he gives us.

I agree so sell the both of them for 35mill total spend 20mill to replace them 15mill in the bank. My consultants fee is in the post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could easily have won last season had they ALL pulled their socks up and had their head in the game. They were all at fault last season. All had their howler games including Gerrard. I like Tav. I was harsh on him beginning of season, but as you say he improved, but he wasn't always polished...he wasn't alone though. Morelos cost us(I am aware it wasn't always his fault and still love the little guy), but many of the players also let us down. If Tav stays - which I think he will, then it is vital we play far better football this season and show everyone what it means to play for Rangers. I agree, despite last season woes, he is worth more than £15, but he's got to prove this to the rest of the world despite the stats. Winning trophies is what really speaks volumes to the bigger teams. The discipline needs to be tight also. I don't think he will be leaving unless we are offered serious money. Playing in Europa, leading Rangers all the way as Captain to 55 also? Here's hoping we do as well in our league games as we are with the friendlies etc so far...who knows what is in store for Tav. We will find out soon enough sure. JackAlex93 and Tomatasauce 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let it sit in the bank, it needs to be pumped back into the squad. Before the board sign anymore stupid contracts then have to pay millions in damages to get out of them again.

Fair point, what I meant was we look to be adding more quality in the squad this season, if we went with the exact same squad as last year I wouldn’t feel as confident as I do now, that we can finally put up a right good fight (assuming we keep the squad we’ve got right now and nobody leaves) 16BlueSherbert90 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we have the best wing back in the spfl so I think he's worth at least that Why is that cunt worth 25million because hes played in the champions league lol hes needing arse reconstruction surgery because anytime he's stepped up to a decent level he's hopelessly exposed. Tav is worth 35 million in that case Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
