I thought that Tavernier was again a week link in our defence last night he didn't seem interested throughout the full 90mins, not captain material in my eyes.

I thought Flanagan was the worst player on the park, granted Tav was caught upfield a few times but Flanagan was poor again almost cost us a few goals, the one he tried to pass to worral then worral let it run across him (arguably worral fault) but the pass to him wasn't great, then the one when they had a throw in which Flanagan tried to let run to McGregor luckily enough worral cleared it. He was also caught out a few times in behind. Just my opinion but I don't like Flanagan, if he is a right back and playing left back is a problem then he should not be playing.
Upside is we managed a point and hopefully we can go over to viena and get a win.

hate to be a boo boy but flano is nowhere near good enough. Halliday > flano.

Flanagan is a Rb he would be a lot better in his position I’d hate to see Tavernier at Lb! I thought Flanagan Tavernier and Coulibaly were awful last night.

Playing a right footed player at left back just doesn’t sit right with me lol. I would currently play Halliday at left back as he gives a better balance to the team in that position. Hopefully Barisic is fully fit soon.

2 big games December. Away to Rapid and at home to the Dhims.
Unless Borna Bear is playing at LB we will get ripped down that flank.

Well one thing I noticed, and it made me bite my nails down to the nib, was basically every set piece/ corner Villarreal had, Tav was marking Bacca, for me he certainly shouldn't have been, maybe stick Tav on post duty or something, but for him to be challenging in the air makes me fill my briefs🤣.

Tav is quality, his pace really helps the team out and defending as a rb is more complex than just being a no-nonsense Cb.
He drives the team forward with his energy and pace whilst he actually has the quality to put decent balls in the box. By driving forward he occupies their wingers and drags them backwards. How anyone could watch last night and think Tav is worse than Flanno, who is abysmal going forward and was hopeless going back last night, is beyond me.

Pointless criticism of one of our best players. Well, I assume it's supposed to be criticism but you can't even spell a four letter word correctly. says it all really.

It seems to be you need to academic to make a point on this forum for some peopleðŸ˜.

Slim Jim
We have more than just 2 big games in December every game is a big game and we have a real chance to qualify for last 32 and be top of the league.

Ok I truly believe "Everyone is entitled to their opinion" I also believe I am entitled to my opinion of the moaners. Last time I got castigated / sniff for calling some knuckle draggers so now I'll be gentle.
On the OP's points
1 Over the season so far Tav is rated as our second best player, shagger rightly first, and Tav has been our top rated or close for years now that's by people who do this for a living.
2 He didn't seem interested? who was that I saw bombing up and down the right wing? did you actually see the match?
3 He gets caught out up field a lot He's a WB it happens, just think sorry that's way to hard, never mind
4 He's not captain material now boys and girls this is easy enough. Who made him Captain A) Coco the clown b) That wascally wabbit Bugs Bunny or C) the world renowned ex-footballer and our manager Steven Gerrard? Take your time.
So as I said we are all entitled to our opinion its my opinion the OP is terminally brain dead. See I can be gentle.

Just for point 3 he's not a wingback, I agree going foreward he's a huge weapon for us and he's done great. Sometimes could reign it in a bit and remember he's a defender first but find it hard to criticise him as he brings a lot to the team.

is it me and you that raised this before FB? 😂 drives me bammy mate.
01 Dec 2018 10:04:47
Aye mate I don't know why but it riles me so much 😂😂😂 we play 4 at the back so he's a full back . Before people say he plays like a wing back, aye he might well do but in our system he isn't.
