Getstiffed 8,863 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Funny thing is I'm raging at Gerrard saying he was content at 1-1 and add that on to his assertion a week ago that we've started the season well. Results wise we've been fine but fuck me some of the performances have been dire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple as that, no need to be overly dramatic about it. He slips as he turns to make that clearance. Stick it on your Youtube and watch it at half speed, hard to catch it at full speed.

If he was content at 1-1 like he should have been, we wouldn't have lost possession at the corner kick and free kick in the last 90 seconds. We would have taken them short to keep possession. And Tavernier did slip or kind of got his studs caught in the turf. Those surfaces are ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueMe 25,327 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 He wasn't any worse than anyone else against celtic and certainly better than some imo, so i don't understand why he would get singled out for that game when the whole team were poor and others put in a far worse performance than he did. Apart from missing the penalty, i actually thought he was really good against Feyenoord - the whole team were brilliant but tired at the end imo. Even last night, apart from his decision-making at the goals, he wasn't as bad as made out tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPPS BOY 73,928 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I absolutely love Tav but for him not to face Cameras last night or do press conference today is pretty poor from a Rangers captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda agree with you here but at the same time I can't blame him for not wanting to do it tbh. His head will be down after that, last thing he'll want to do is face questions about it.

Not once have I said he’s not our left back. He is however a right back. Callum MacGregor played left back, Gerrard has played right back and Graham Roberts played in goal. Doesn’t mean that’s their natural position does it? And yet I’m the mong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverAndEver 71,511 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 25 minutes ago, beararse said: That’s entirely down to circumstance rather than by choice or design. Flanagan covered for Glen Johnson (right back) and occasionally Jose Enrique (left back) and in 2013/14 Enrique was out injured for the majority of the season. Hence why he played left back. It is more to do with Glen Johnson being one of the best full backs in the EPL at that time, than Flanagan being a first choice left left back. Flanagan just happened to be a right back who was a more dependable left back than Enrique’s intended understudy, Cissokho . The fact he played both full back positions for a top EPL made him an attractive commodity hence why Burnley, Bolton and now Rangers wanted him. Whether you agree he’s any good or not, it doesn’t detract from the fact he is a right back first and a left back second. It doesn’t matter how it came about, he still played that position consistently in his best ever season Bolton have been a shambles for years, canny use them at all 13 minutes ago, BridgeIsBlue said: Don’t remember this pish when it was any other player that wasn’t liked within the support tbh.

I think he's been playing well and he's still contributing in attack with more goals and assists so far this season than he had at this point last season. You're not going to get a perfect performance week in week out from any player playing in the SPL, or in any league tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree but somehow that didn’t seem to be the way the players tried to see the game out. My concerns are to do with what instructions were being given from the sidelines as the game was in the last 5-10 mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you now adding in the "natural position" part? Throughout his career he has played both LB and RB, he's equally shite at both. He's played 36 games for us and around 4 of them as a RB. That clearly makes him our backup LB, fuck knows why you're not seeing this here - Gerrard even signed another RB in Polster to compete for the RB slot, so if Flanagan was a "natural" RB, surely he wouldn't have needed Polster?
