esquire8 43,230 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Wouldn't be anywhere near where we are now without him, but his defensive errors are punished 99% of the time for a reason. All over the place like pretty much everyone else in the team today. Amato and Bobby Hume 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
five stars 1,710 Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 22 minutes ago, Blue72 said: His goal and assist record disagrees. He looked slow today but so did half the team out there - fair enough not a great performance but the guy delivers and has done all season. He's looked slow for nearly 2 seasons now. He peaked in the Europa league final season and has been on the downward trajectory since. crazy bob swollenbaws and Amato 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyal72 11,795 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Defensively a massive fucking let down. People say where would we be without his goals etc, but if we could defend we'd not rely so much on his goals. Catch 22. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

five stars 1,710 Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 That 1st goal today was pathetic. If it was an 18 year old making his Old Firm debut you'd maybe make excuses for him and hope he learns from it. It was pathetic and that our captain? I can't believe people will except that level of performance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that Tav is one of our better players if looked at over a season. Crazy to say he needs moved on. Remember we tried that years ago with pushing him forward and sticking hodson at right back. jamess 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

five stars 1,710 Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 I agree RB is not the only issue in the team. But it's one where the solution is staring you in the face. Sterling is ready, Tav is done. It's time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears r us 30,901 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 6 minutes ago, ForeverAndEver said: And taking the ball off Tavernier which led to them getting a corner and penalty. I had forgot about what lead to their penalty. We all know Tav has an incredible goal scoring record for a full back, but as FAE has pointed out today he (and Goldson) were at fault for their first two goals. He obviously scored the penalty so that redeems some of his errors. I have no idea what Phil thinks about Tav, but IF we could get decent money for him it might be time to let him go in the summer. Because of his goals we will never agree about his failings. As far as penalties goes that should not be too difficult to overcome, but his assists are good. I will sit on the fence with this one until the end of the season. Bobby Hume and ForeverAndEver 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the solution to the right back problem, why not use it? I've been a fan of Tav for years and stood up for him many times. I even argued years ago that he was worth an England call up.

He's a phenomenon going forward though for a full back and that's why he's broken British football records and been a mainstay in every single managers teams at Rangers. He's too important to drop and that's where we are at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling isn't a full back, he's proven he's a midfielder and we need him there as he's probably our best one. He can't just be shoehorned into RB to replace our captain. Won't happen Folk said he was done last season and the one before and again now...yet he scores screamers to win us games and digs us out the shit time after time then the same posters change their tune.

Albertz85 956 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Love Tav and he offers great goalscoring threat for a fullback. For a captain though far too many old firm big mistakes. Always said he would be better midf. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossS1873 1,685 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Another 2 moments to put into the compilation. A rebirth of the old arguments. Him and his pal Goldson cost us when it really matters.
