I think he could easily play in that league tbh. There are full backs who are a lot worse than him that get a game every week. If Kenny McLean is good enough to play in the Premier League then Tav, despite his deficiencies, is too. graeme_4 likes this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is the captain and should shoulder the responsibility for the mistakes he is making. However I just don't get the personal abuse aimed at Rangers players, from our own so called " supporters" . Being bitter towards our own, does us no favours. glasgow argyle, Nk89 and Laudrupsleftfoot like this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really want Stevie to succeed B A, but I am starting to wonder if he will get it right if he continues to play his favourite players no matter how shite they perform, it is a real concern. eejay the dj, SeparateEntityMyArse and Courtyard Bear like this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orangeclement 368 Posted October 21 I'm pretty sure ALL the goals we have conceded this year have been down to mistakes from 2 players ...... Tav and Goldson the only 2 who never get taken out the team after bad performances. Bears r us and eejay the dj like this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smile 20,413 Posted October 21 He's one of our best player but his form has dipped, we were not up for the game yesterday at all the players approached the game like it ws the first game of the season after a long layoff.

Bearsden bear 1,398 Posted October 21 Im a huge Tav fan. That said no-one is undroppable. I backed him after young boys but another blunder yesterday should mean a spell on the bench imo. Lets see if Flanno or Polster can add a bit of security to that area. We might lose a bit going forward but thats 3 goals in 2 games hes sold now and maybe taking him out the firing-line will help him in the long run.

He's a Championship player, playing for a Championship team who are making a short visit to the top flight. I'm not sure there's any fullbacks down in that league at the moment even close to being as bad as Tavernier (on this season's form) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no doubt you are right, but I don't care about other managers to be honest, all I care about is winning 55 and if Stevie fucks it up because he has favourites that play when they are in poor form and it stops us winning games then he is being rather stupid IMO.

TMB 10,706 Posted October 21 I’ve been a big supporter of Tavernier on here over the years, still am, but I agree we need another option. We have Barisic and Flanagan who can play at LB. with Halliday out of contract at the end of the season maybe January is a good time to bring in another RB to compete with Tavernier. He plays too many games for us anyway and could benefit from rotation just like anyone else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluenoz 4,722 Posted October 21 I backed him after his mistake last year against the scum, I didn't after YB's and yesterday's mistake had me raging because it is now Gerrard's fault. It's Flanagan or Polster for me on Thursday. The message has to be sent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's just a poor example to use to justify Tavernier being able to play in the Premier League when he's probably only going to experience it for one season himself.

GersInCanada 725 Posted October 21 Tav is our captain and yes he has not hit the form we expect from him this season. Same applys to Arfield and Ojo. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He might only play there for one season but so far he’s showing that he can do a job in that league (John McGinn is too who was another player that everybody on here said was shite for years) and that you don’t have to be half as good to play in that league as people on here make out that you have to be.
