Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 When I think of tav I just picture him trying a cross (again) and it hitting off the defender to go out for a throw in (again). im sure the chances of scoring from a high cross ball are under 10%, can he not see he needs to maybe try changing to a low pass back to a midfield player to drive forward?

Bristoe1872 2,494 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Craig Patterson and John McLleland were better captains ffs,at least they won silverware. Tavernier has been costing us constantly,from the SC final all the way to last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueboyG 5,137 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 He should do the right thing and give up the captaincy , he is never a leader, Gough, Butcher, Ferguson were leaders because if you weren't doing it they would let you know, Tav couldn't say fuck all as his own game is fuckin woeful.

Dave Hedgehog 10,673 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 A captain should be a respected hard working player who not only encourages others around him but never lets his head drop in the tough times. That is not and never will be James Tavernier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might help him to give it up. Totally agree with most people in that a captain change won’t make much of a difference to the utter shite performances from the team but Tavernier is just not up to it. Take it off him might improve him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it off him might improve him I totally agree with taking the captaincy off Tav. The issue for me is there isn't a clear and obvious choice for a replacement in the current squad. I honestly think come summer we might be better looking to bring a new captain in. Someone with experience who can provide some much needed leadership on the pitch.

STEPPS BOY 73,172 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Stripping him of captaincy for rest of the season would be counter - productive. Make the change at end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 If Tav was the bigger man, he would admit he is not the man for the job and volunterally hand it back. Better no man than the wrong man, as we now see, you become a joke figure and a scapegoat and respect is lost. Give it to McGregor for the time being who is the type, until we get a better suited outfield player. No harm done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think though there could be a decent enough player in there - the captaincy is just not for him though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf to him against Braga away he tried to give it to the midfielder to drive with it, Jack passed him into a corner at least 2 times in that game, as much as I hate seeing him cross the ball if his midfielders refuse to take a risk and give him the ball instantly back then he is on a hiding to nothing.

True, but sometimes the captain can coax an extra ten percent out of you that you didnt know you had, due to them going that extra mile When teams scores against us, look at tav, he's one of the most downbeat people there, others must look at him and think "fuck sake here we go again" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really do wonder what Wattie has said to him obviously hard for him to come out and criticise but he must have been alarmed at the lack of will to win in the present team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgill 31 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I see he was in the papers today promising the players would have a look at themselves. How many times are we going to be subjected to his condescending bilge after he was wheeled out under Warburton, Murty, Pedro, Murty again and now several times under Gerrard.
