His general performances haven't been what they were last year so far and it is down to too many games in my opinion. He's played over 120 games in the last 2 1/2 years and has had no competition. Combine potentially to much football with nobody pushing him then we get what we have got so far. Say there are no outgoings in January then my first signing would be a right back who can be trusted or with potential to takes Tav's place when he needs a rest and to push him when he isn't playing well. We have two other right backs at the club, if one of them cannot be trusted to play right back in games like home vs hamilton etc then why the fuck did we sign them and why the fuck are they still here Pointless buying another right back when we have 3 already but gerrard wont drop his favourite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackAlex93 11,209 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I see Tavernier has been receiving abuse on twitter from Rangers fans after Sunday. Who even fucking does that? Some need to get a grip and fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may benefit from a break. His dip in form has been long term, all the way back to July. He needs dropped and told exactly for why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on mate. Tav we know hasn’t been good enough defensively in the past, but fucking hell it’s way worse now. Stevie needs to show a ruthless streak here.

The thing is I like Tav, but he seems to be poor this season and is not playing himself into form either. I know the options to replace him are not great but the number of goals he has lost us now in two games from three is not really acceptable. I have always thought he should never have been made captain and because he is makes it more difficult to drop/rest him. I would love to have to eat my words and see him prove us wrong, just not sure if he will though and that is the concern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will never know if the alternatives are great or not as they never get a start to replace him. If Gerrard aspires to be the manager he wants to be, then he really needs to do his job for the sake of all concerned. The cameos I've seen Polster in, he appears capable and given game time will only improve imo. Our large squad with the promises of rotation is now just seen as hollow rhetoric. It does no good for Gerrard and those players challenging for a place, when they watch howlers being made with no consequence. Pretty disappointed in Gerrard in this and makes him look weak and fork tongued. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when the backup is a player who has played about 3 games of football in 18 months and another who’s injured. Only way that Tav gets dropped is if Stevie G does something mental like play 3-4-3 against Porto. He’s shown he’s not that kind of manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boybluesy 3,693 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Ross McCrorie returned to a right back position for Portsmouth last time out and it says he's started there three times for the Scotland under 21's.

sausagetrunks 6,016 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 tav costing us with defensive errors. great going forward but imo he needs replaced. for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Tavernier had 20+ assists last season. He has 7 assists for the season. Yes, he’s prone to the odd defensive error but what he gives us going forward more than makes up for it IMO. This 4-3-3 formation we play needs attacking full-backs. Barisic and Tavernier are key players for us. I agree that Tavernier needs dropped at times. He plays just about every single game for us. He’s not at his best right now. Another attacking RB to offer some competition would be good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
