Of course they can be replaced. But if you’re to rank our squad in order of performance. You’d probably have Lundstrum and Tav top 5 outfield performers this year.
Don’t get this obsession with replacing those guys and not the guys down the list?
Other than “they’ve been here a long time” argument.
We’re 3 points behind in the league. If we’d had better wingers, a striker and some decent replacement options instead of the dross like Dowell that come in, we’d be top. 

So why is the knee jerk always “replace Tav” or Lundstram

Gerrard: I want Goldson and Tav from Rangers
Saudis: Steven, you've been here for a while now. You do realise that money is absolutely no problem here?

I just looked up our record against both Edinburgh teams since we won the league, I didn't include that season since we pumped everyone that year.
P26 W22 D3 L1 GF66 GA17
The only game we lost was that League cup semi, and the fact that's the only one makes Goldson's defeatest attitude that day even more frustrating.

Yeah, I have to agree. When thinking about who we could've got after the split I was much more wary of Killie at Rugby Park than I was Hearts at Tynecastle.
As you say, Hearts (and even Hibs) are that team where we seem to switch on and get a result whereas we're prone to switching off and getting punished for it against the smaller teams. Plus, I think it helps that Hearts don't just sit in like those other teams do which then makes the game more open.

Both things are true, IMO. His absence has had an impact, both as a player and simply as a left footed left back.
It's clear the structure of the team is completely fucked, but it wasn't great against Motherwell either. Replacing Ridvan with Borna who is on his way out doesn't work as he's leaving and clearly not at his best, and using Sterling there leaves us unbalanced. 
All of that said, we should still have been able to see off the last two opponents.

Not unreasonable questions. When Tav and Borna had the legs to support that system it largely worked well although made us very one dimensional at times.
Borna is done and Ridvan is an different sort of player. Tav doesn't have the engine to get back quickly enough when he goes forward. I still think that his future should be in a different position to RB. Whether that's in a more advanced position on the right or somewhere in the middle. 

Morelos was terrible at finishing those as well 

He's shite
He's great
He's shite and then he's great

I've said it since day 1, Diomande is a player. We will make a fortune on him one day.

We've really missed Diomande.

No problem here, see if premier sports is on main uk sports

We've really missed Diomande.

Its info like this that makes me happy with the easy going mindless commentary on RTV.

I was just thinking something similar earlier. I appreciate the team has been playing atrociously the last two games (and arguably before) but surely we, the fans, have to dust ourselves off and get back on track and show some belief - even if it's for nothing.
I know people will say we need something from the team to believe in, and I agree, but I think we might need to do some of the heavy lifting ourselves and get fully behind the notion that we can still win this.

The captaincy part is another question, ability wise if we change to make tav defend more and attack less, then he'll struggle 
If we keep him attacking, but don't upgrade goldson and Lundstram, then we'll struggle
Financially it's easier to fix one position than fix 2 positions to cover another position, but tav being captain and his attacking attributes might mean the spend on the other two positions is more worthwhile 

Calling the player’s shitebags. Whilst being bigger shitebags themselves. 
Hoping Hearts go through to give celtic a better game is some mentality..
Team needs everyone behind them today.

You're never going to like or agree with what the manager says when you're on a poor run of form, that goes for any manager not specifically Clement, he's no blind or daft, he'll be thinking the same things as us, but rightly or wrongly he needs to rely on these players for another six weeks, he's not going to fillet them publicly.
We're under enough pressure without giving the opposition and media a stick to beat us with, and if he feels there's a mentality issue, that's gonna make it even less likely we'll get a tune out of them.
I take these pressers/interviews with a pinch of salt, they're PR exercises more than anything else.

It all seems pretty shit when we're all moaning about corners. 
Not many teams score directly from them. I'd be more worried our fwds can't score in general play, in a barrel of fannies! 

I mean, the Dessers and Morelos ones I was willing to accept, even though I think it's a bullshit rule, based on the player who kicked being in control of the ball first and the "offending" player jumps in front of him but doesn't touch the ball before being kicked. However, here, Carter-Vickers isn't in control of the ball first.
There's no difference between that scenario there and a through ball being played down the line and the defender goes to kick the ball away but kicks the attacking player first. A free kick is given for that.

Roos aswell wtf was he playing at his team are about to hit a pen and he's down receiving treatment hobble to the side let the lad hit the pen and get treatment before the scum pen ffs🤣

Without sounding like a broken record, is there not a middle ground?
Tav was unanimously in our top 3 outfield players till probably after the Benfica game.
Agreed he’s ageing and he’s declined massively these last 5-6 matches.
He’s been brutal of late.
So is there not a way we can manage him better next season. Don’t ask the 33year old right back who covers more ground than any other player, to play every minute of every game. 
I’d say the same for Lundstram but I think he’s easier replaced.

So you think showing folk around Ibrox and telling them the history of the club automatically turns them into battle hardened winners who can deal with the expectations and burden of playing for the club? It's that easy?
You're a fucking idiot.

So you think losing all but Lee McCulloch and Lee Wallace from the first team squad and replacing it with the likes of Emilson Cribari and Kevin Kyle, playing against the dross of Scottish football for 4 years and winning nothing took nothing away from the heart of what it means to be a successful, combatant, confident Rangers team with a back bone? You serious?
The poster above actually makes my point completely. We've won the league, Scottish Cup and the League Cup once each since we came back up in 2016. How the fuck does that makes us winners? You don't build a winning mentality without winning things.
We went on an amazing run to the EL final and still that team didn't believe in itself enough to beat the scum in the league that season. We put a great showing in the SC semi that season but again there was an underdog tone to that game. There was no expectation to win.
I think this team does have heart but it's the heart of an underdog/chaser who can fight to get to the front of the pack then doesn't know what to do once it gets there. That's been lost.

Thank you for actually reading my post. Evidently there are some hard of thinking fuck wits on here who appear to get triggered when certain terminology gets written.
3 trophies in 12 years. How anyone can look at where we are now and say that 2012 was no more than a wee 4 year skip out of the Premier League and a jaunt back up the leagues?
On your last para, just to be clear, I wasn't saying anything about "look at where we were". If anything, I'm saying look at where we were before 2012 and how special that mentality was but this team doesn't seem to have it.
