graeme_4 34,430 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Getting off lightly because Tav has been well below par. He’s been horrible this season. A shadow of the player last year and has contributed fuck all this season. Needs benched. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eejay the dj 31,964 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Airfield is dynamic when he is playing well And recently he hasn't been playing well.Think you will find he doesn't play in next 2 games . Certainly from the start Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanksRFC 3,868 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I thought he played a bit better the last 30minutes or so yesterday but still well below last seasons performances. He did play well away to Midtjylland He hasn't really had a break in the Summer like a lot of our players, I think he could be doing with a spell on the bench. He ceratinly doesn't suit that right wing type role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamMunny 3,234 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I agree needs dropped and someone should have a run in his place until he can find his form again. Stewart or Barker should be given a run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanoli 4,625 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Probably the biggest beneficiary of our good run of form at the end of last season, when the league was already done. He was as bad as he is now for the majority of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobar 13,676 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Been a player down pretty much all season. Shock we played the best football last Thursday when him and Ojo weren’t anywhere near the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be further forward and central if he plays just now. His form is well off so if he plays he needs to play where he plays best. Wouldn't start him against Ross County this week!!

Certainly from the start I would say I agree with you regarding him playing the next two games but after yesterday I don't have a clue what sort of team Gerrard will stick out.

A shadow of the player last year and has contributed fuck all this season. Needs benched. People saying Tav has been well below par are too focused on the easy target... Arfield, Ojo, Aribo...have all been much worse than Tav. Even last week against Hearts, Tav cost the goal and his delivery wasnt great, but at least he got into the position to try and cross it, take on his man and drive the ball forward...there are too many getting away with murder because Tavs high profile mistakes are taking the spot light. It was the same yesterday, Aribo, Arfield, Stewart, Barker all done absolutely nothing all game, yet Tav is the bad guy for missing a penalty. Drives me mad!

STEPPS BOY 73,886 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 A complete passenger. Offers absolutely nothing to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKnight87 17,281 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Times last season he was the only midfielder giving us something going forward. This season he's been way off form and not contributing. A spell on the sidelines battling to get his place back is needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,809 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 He is very average at the moment, that's for sure. I don't think he is guaranteed to start anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly online rather than at the game where it's the guys you mentioned who are getting the stick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Traive 22,740 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Best alongside Defoe if Morelos is absent, otherwise leave him out. Can see Kent doing more work infield as we push Tav and Barisic so far forward. Even with an underperforming Arfield, I’d still get shot of King and Barker.

TMB 14,167 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 He can't find any sort of goal scoring form and that's what we need from him more than anything. If he plays out wide, or in the middle, your looking for him to get in the box and score goals and it's not happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's started almost every game the last 3 seasons. He might be the captain but that doesnt make him immune from poor performances or mistakes. We are so reliant on him on the right hand side it is frightening, people asking for him to be dropped/rested are in for a shock when we have to play Polster or Flanno there, neither of which can even get on the bench, as they dont have anywhere near the ability to attack like Tav does. We are the only team in the world that are critical of players for being fit enough to play 50+ games season after season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCDBigBear 10,824 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Arfield has been very poor this season. I believe we get the best out of him playing centrally just behind the striker. When he isn't playing there he disappears and offers next to nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,809 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 His link of play with Defoe last year was lovely to watch but yesterday he played much deeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
