graeme_4 34,347 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 He dismissed fans’ claims he is unwilling to drop Tavernier or stopper Connor Goldson. Gerrard said: “No one is undroppable. “I don’t think you drop those two players because of individual errors though. You have to remember how much they improve the team, and what they have done to this point. “If the mistakes were happening on a regular basis over three or four games, and the performance level dropped over two or three games, then maybe I can understand the question. “But I don’t think every time someone makes an individual error, or has one game that is well below par, that straight away I drop him. “That might have a bigger affect on the team in the bigger picture. “Connor Goldson doesn’t get injured, he doesn’t get suspended, and his performance levels in the main have been pretty consistent. “He’s quick, he’s strong, he’s good in the air and he’s a leader.” Social media and fans’ forums went into meltdown after the Europa League defeat to Young Boys in Berne, with just about every player seemingly being blamed for the 2-1 loss. Skipper Tavernier was singled out for his part in Young Boys’ injury-time winner, with the Gers defence also under scrutiny for the equaliser. He added: “I understand the questions about people being undroppable, but I don’t delve into social media. “So I don’t listen to what ‘Brian from East Kilbride’ is saying about someone being undroppable. I don’t take any notice of them. “I’m in this job because I’m pretty thick-skinned and really driven. “I get paid to make some big decisions, and decisions that are right for this football club. “I won’t get them all right, and unfortunately I won’t be able to satisfy the thousands and millions around the world who support Rangers. “That’s unfortunate but I try to do my best for this club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
6superbarry6 14,128 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 If we had another capable right back then maybe Tav would be dropped but we don’t there’s nobody even close to Tav level in the squad, baffling how Goldson hasn’t been dropped though and the continual Ojo selection even more so.

KeyserSoze 14,513 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Ojo should be dropped back at the bus stop for the megabus to Liverpool. Tav’s contribution as a whole far outweighs the odd mistake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Did Brian piss in his coffee or something. what he should’ve been asked was do you really believe a player can play 60+ games a season without it having a adverse effect on his performance, and if you do then why have such a big squad.

Now that would be a proper way of asking the question, rather than the negative, look for a negative headline about Rangers way the Scottish media ask the question.

Irn Blu 221 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 So it's OK to rotate our defence as and when but we need to wait until someone makes a mistake in 3 or 4 games before they get dropped? Doesn't explain the Katic situation who has been, for me, our best CB this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,278 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 He has a point. But the one player that shouldn’t start is Ojo, horrific. Said when Jones and Kent were injured we’d see him every week for about 2 month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he really could put Gerrard right on a few more things. A campaign of 'Brian for DOF' should be started. He's got to be more 'at it' in term of all things important to Rangers than the current candidate the club seems to be fishing for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
