The Beast 9,468 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 There's been talk for a while about Tav being moved forward on the right to accommodate a new RB, I think we tried it with Patterson once or twice. But given Tav doesn't quite have the engine he did say three years ago could there be a place for him in central midfield and give Sterling a chance to establish himself in his favoured position at RB? Tav playing alongside Lundstram with Diomonde/Cantwell in front of them would be my call. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever is on that wing needs to do their job properly. Your wide men need to support our wingbacks Why do we need to double up when maeda is on tavs side, yilmaz stuck him in his back pocket at parkhead and only took him out when he went back in to get changed after full time Maeda is pish, he runs fast thats it, if our right back cant handle a sprinter then that shows how poor a defender he is We cant sit there and complain that we dont press high up the park, while wanting our wingers to drop deep and double up on the tarrier wingers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you play with wingbacks you need to defend the gaps. Normally done by your wide mids/wingers. Filling the space to help out on a counter.

shaka 1,839 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Tav is definitely declining as a player. He doesn't have the engine anymore and his passing has been horrific recently. He still gets goals but other than that the rest of his game make him a liability right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeRab 3,395 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 What’s madness is expecting a 32 year old right back to play the most attritional position on the park. Ask him to play more minutes than anyone else in European football. And then not expect and drop off in his performances 😂. The guy has played almost 1,000 minutes more than celtic’s top players. And folk expect him to be fresh as a fiddle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a RB to defend first and foremost tbh, and for every single one of their chances, he disappeared from RB and ended up at CB, an even more useless position for him. delparlane 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not defending his performance. I agree he’s been fucking shite of late. But not in the one bit surprised given how much football and running he has done. Our medical/sports science team must be non existent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylineBlue 25,725 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 He's been an excellent servant to the club and put up some great numbers, but he's not a club legend and we won't win another title with him in the team. We should take any decent offer that comes in in the summer and move him on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornabear 6,265 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I don't know why folk keep bulling him up, he's had his best days and is just like a bystander now. Captain yes, leader no, there is a big difference in the two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain yes, leader no, there is a big difference in the two. The main problem i have with playing Tav is not his poor passing, defending and leadership. It's the fact we have a 24 year old in Sterling who is ready to play and has a great future in the game sitting on the sidelines. bornabear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 75,673 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Horrendous today. It's time we get a right back who can play as a right back. Tavs been incredible but we can't go into next season leaving the gaps he does at the back. We will need to bring in forward players to replace his output that's a given but a good team is built from the back and our defence is howling.

molesmole 1,370 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Mad we need our Rw to defend so much to protect our RB. His goals output is phenomenal. Put him up front if he has to play every week. [not really] League titles are built on a solid Defence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moody Blue 10,013 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Their chance in the first few minutes when Sima defended the back post because Tav was over mid-left sums it up. Start of an away game, going for a title and in the first few minutes we’re all over the shop. Just do basics and don’t give a sniff anyway. he’s been a remarkable servant and just fantastic value for money but he‘s been absolutely woeful in the last few weeks when it’s time to step up and lead the team over the line. Don’t get over the line now in the league and he’s done for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
