The principle remains the exact same regardless of left or right back.
The ability of the player varies.
If Flanagan is viewed as an acceptable LB option by Gerrard then why is it inconceivable that Tav couldn’t fill in it left back ?
After all, he is the better footballer.
Exactly, that's my point, Flanagan was/is pish at RB and he's equally pish at LB.
He's only playing at LB now because there's no better option at the moment - that doesn't mean he's good enough to play either position and it certainly doesn't mean he's good enough to replace Tav at RB.
If left mid was a problem area for us, would you suggest replacing Jones with Morelos because "after all, Morelos is a better footballer"
Admit you fucked it and move on tbh.

Playing as a left back surely?

But we can’t back anything up with facts as it was a hypothetical proposition, based on what believe are reasonable assumptions (in terms of defending,
Tav IMO won’t be any worse on the left, Flanagan’s defending IMO is likely to improve on the right.
You don’t agree. That doesn’t make me an idiot.
As for some of my posts, they are entirely consistent and repeat the exact same opinion so don’t try and make out I’m full of idiotic suggestions. It’s the one opinion explained to various parties, as flawed as may be.
Apart from the fact Flanagan has already played at RB and was absolutely shite and has already cost us 2 goals this season with his "defending".

Yet not old enough to accept a different view without name calling, it would appear
I can accept a different opinion when it's backed up with facts and the person at least has a bit of knowledge on the subject that they're discussing.
My opinion of you being an idiot is backed up with facts (this thread) and i've used my knowledge on the subject and given you an example of why playing Flanagan at RB instead of Tav is stupid.
I don't know why you're getting offended at someone calling you an idiot after posting this thread and some of the posts you've made in it tbh.

What age are you?
Old enough to know you're an idiot.

I noticed this as well actually and i've already sent a strongly worded e-mail to Google.
I'll update the thread if/when they respond.

Yep.
Result is a LB that can’t defend, so no change there.
Yep.
Result is a RB that can’t attack but improves defending by playing on his natural side, so we’ve strengthened the defensive aspect of the full back positions.
Tav is very good going forward so I would expect him to take to attacking from the left without much difficulty.
So, in theory, we strengthen the defence without weakening the attack.
Like I've said many a time on this thread, it was a suggestion to temporarily solve a problem with the defence. If it didn’t work then bin it immediately.
Tav isn’t a bad defender, far from it but he’s no better than Flanagan (who is currently playing out of position) when tasked with defending as things stand (ie with Flanagan in the left). Tav is however infinitely better moving forward and a very good footballer.
Good players can play on either side of the pitch without a dip in form.
Im not expecting to convert anyone’s opinion on this. Just explaining where I was coming from....which ironically, is left field 🙂
Flanagan played in his "natural position" against Cowdenbeath and Kilmarnock and was the worst player on the park, so i don't know where you're getting the idea that he's a better defender than Tav from.
Tav is on another level to Flanagan in every department and you're an idiot if you can't see that tbh.

We've got a problem at LB, so let's move one of our best players out of position to try and solve it.
Even if this did happen (which it won't) we don't have another RB good enough to replace Tav, so we would just be moving the problem from LB over to RB.
Harvey Price bastard btw.
-
Genuinely deserves a ban for this.
-
Love Defoe tbh, he could still be playing for a lower end premiership/championship club imo.
Perfectly weighted pass on a difficult pitch from Helander as well - which is surprising for someone who can't pass tbh.
-
Gerrard said he wants 2 for every position and it looks Flanagan and Halliday with Barisic out the picture tbh.
Hopefully not.

I think he’s one of these players that some won’t realise what we had until he’s gone.
We seen what that would be like when Flanagan played at RB against Cowdenbeath and Kilmarnock last season and it wasn't great tbh.
If/when Tav leaves, we'll struggle to find anyone who gives us what he does and it'll be near impossible to do that for the £200k we paid for Tav.
Of all the players we have, he always seems to be the one who takes the most criticism on here. He's not allowed to have a bad game or make a bad pass/wrong decision, if he does, it's used as a stick to beat him with for weeks.
He was poor against Kilmarnock, but still managed to play a part in both the goals we scored and his run from his own half won us the corner that he crossed in for the winner. But some would rather discuss a poor pass he made in the 14th minute for some reason.

There’s no need for the attitude!
“Fuck knows why admin allow it tbh, he adds literally nothing to the forum.”
I wasn’t just talking about you in fairness but there has been plenty saying he should be banned for taking shite.
I don't see any calls for banning in that quote.
Admin have other ways of dealing with trolls (which he clearly is) and that doesn't necessarily mean banning. A warning or PM telling him to stop trolling would be fine tbh.
He repeats the same pish in most threads and has done for years. It was Morelos last season and Dave King before that. None of his claims are ever backed up with facts and are purely about getting attention - he's the very definition of a troll tbh.

I actually don’t think he is trolling. We’re all entitled to our own opinions. I, and probably most of the forum, don’t agree with him but calling for a ban because he’s got a different view from everybody else isn’t right IMHO.
Quote the part of my post where i called for him to be banned.

BA catching a few with his trolling again.
He used the same attention seeking methods last season when he would criticise Morelos for fuck all. He goes against popular opinion just to get the reaction he craves.
Fuck knows why admin allow it tbh, he adds literally nothing to the forum.

Halliday, easy.
Aye he was good, but so was every player that day tbf.
If i'm thinking about the same game, the tackle on Ntcham is probably the highlight from his performance that day, which had very little to do with ability and more to do with "he gives 100%" and "has the heart of a lion".
Not taking anything away from Halliday tbh, he's a decent squad player, but he's nowhere near good enough to be our first choice LB imo.

His performance against the tarriers was better
Flanagan or Halliday?

Just now, ForeverAndEver said:
People jizz over Barisic because he played well in two games for Osijek, and got lucky with Croatia, they do the same with Flanagan because he done well with absolutely zero pressure on when the season was finished. Halliday done well for us, and done it with pressure on, there’s the winner.
I've not seen Halliday or Flanagan put in the type of performance that Barisic did against us - i think that's why people are still hoping he'll come good, because he clearly has the ability.
Flanagan is brutal imo and Hallidays biggest attribute is he "gives 100%" or he has "the heart of a lion" he's very rarely complimented on his footballing ability.
Up until now, none of them have been anywhere near good enough imo.

Only when suddenly having a brain fart in our defence suddenly becomes unforgivable.
Flanagan struggles with the basics of football and makes multiple fuck ups every game. He has no positional awareness, no pace, looks awkward on the ball, terrible passer and offers nothing going forward.
That's more than a "brain fart" in our defence.

Only a matter of time before this turns into another negative Tav thread tbh.
It usually happens when other players faults are mentioned.

I'm bumping this thread after East Fife beat us on Sunday.

The only thing I say when somebody says that is look at Senderos
Watched the guy at Arsenal for years then at us, genuinely cant believe he played at such a high level and got for so long and got transfers when he lacked every one of those
He was brutal tbf. Up there with the worst i've ever seen play for us.
Let’s play Tavernier at left back!
