    Problem is we need players in every position so clement has got to decide where he wants to spend his budget. We also need quality and that doesn’t come cheap. Personally a can see half dozen players in positions other than right back needed first. 
     

    2 centre half’s, a good quality centre mid, 2 wingers and a number 9 would come before filling the right back position unless we were to put Sterling in there. 

    Sterling a right back, he's looked good in midfield, he's 24 now, so no longer a kid. 

    It's time for him to be given the chance to make the RB slot his.

    He's quick, athletic and a better passer of the ball than Tav. What remains to be seen is how effective he can be attacking from the RB position. 

    I think him and Sima on the right side could be a good combination. 

  2. It was a great cross for the goal.

    A few years back Tav was swinging in about half a dozen crosses like that every game.

    Now, they're rare.

    But the first half defending was amateur hour again, nearly gifting them two goals. 

    It still amazes me than fans will except that level of mediocrity.

    He's done, it's obvious. A penalty or an occasional cross is just papering over the cracks.

    Clement isn't daft he'll want better for next season. 

  3. I've only watched brief highlights of the game, and sometimes when you're actually at the game you miss things. Especially at a place like Hampden. 

    But other than his involvement in the 1st goal, is there any good forward play from Tav i missed?

    Sterling (playing on the wrong side) had a few decent runs to the by-line, but i can't remember much from Tav.

    I remember the row z free kick, lots of short corners when we actually have someone in the box for once who can attack the ball. (Balogun).

    Maybe yous can enlighten me?

    So Tav slips when the initial mistake is made by Souttar but it’s “Tav’s blunder nearly cost us big time” (which never actually happened, as they didn’t get a shot at Butland)

    No praise for his block when Souttar fucked it in the 2nd half, which cleared out a potential opportunity?

    No praise for his work in getting the ball to Cantwell for the opening goal when he could have stopped for a free kick but continued to fight for the ball?

    The only big mistake he made was a poor clearance at about 80 odd minutes that eventually led to Oda shot at Butland but there was some pretty pish defending all round at that point that I put down to team tiredness rather than highlight one individual.

    He wasn’t brilliant but certainly wasn’t poor yesterday, he had a solid game with the rest of the team.

    This thread is about Tav, that's why the post is about Tav funnily enough!

    Although i do mention that he wasn't the only one with schoolboy errors in defence.

    It was calamitous defending by Tav again, if Shanklin gets a shot away, we're in trouble.

    He does well to win the ball (twice) for the first goal but turns to the referee doing that waving his arms about thing he does, while we have the ball in play and in an excellent position.

    Fortunately, the referee ignored him.

    It's amateur hour again from Tav.

    What second half blunder?

    It was on a hearts counter attack after Souttar loses the ball out wide that ended up with Delvin getting booked for fouling Balagon.

    They attack at pace and roll a ball across the edge of our box.

    Tav's there but somehow falls over his own feet and the ball rolls passed him. 

    Shocking defending but he wasn't the only one today with schoolboy defending.

    Just realised there that he said the last three games we've been shit. 

    I actually like that he included the old firm game in there too, as i do believe there are members of the dressing room who will believe we got a good result and played well. 

    He has a great competitive mentality.

    He's talking sense, unlike his captain and manager.
