For years have suggested Tav would be better up one - meaning as a RW. I was probably in that camp because his defensive frailties can cost us at times.
What do you think about playing as a RCM (6)? Whittaker and Riksen both managed to do it quite well. I think Tav could do the same. Essentially swapping Sterling for Tav. He would still be able to influence the game in a positive way but wouldn’t be so relying on his defensive abilities because there would be someone behind him.
I seen him and Starling swapping a wee bit in the 2nd half yesterday. Would like to see more of it to see if it could work.

Nope! Can we please desist from trying to shoehorn Tav into a position he'd be just as poor in as he currently is at RB! Square pegs into round holes spring to mind.
18 Aug 2024 14:59:14
No he isn’t good enough to be in the team period. He was never good enough to play right wing and he ain’t a CM.
18 Aug 2024 15:00:11
Not for me.
18 Aug 2024 15:04:37
I think every part of tavs game is now heading south.
18 Aug 2024 15:13:43
No, he's done. His engine is kaput, and we don't need to accommodate a passenger who is way past the player he was. IMHO.
18 Aug 2024 15:13:45
I think he should’ve been moved to right wing years ago.
Now though it’s a hard one. I don’t see him good enough to play centre mid .
Perhaps I’m wrong
He’s need to play in a 3 not a 2.
18 Aug 2024 15:16:03
Agree with you and have said it for years. He is never a defender, leaves right side isolated far too often.
18 Aug 2024 15:32:34
Without goals and assists as a deflection from his performances, you can see how poor he has become.
18 Aug 2024 15:37:04
The only way he influences a game now is his inability to defend or even find teammate with a pass, total liability, is Clement the only one who can't see that.
18 Aug 2024 15:48:02
I wish he would head South, Coully.
18 Aug 2024 16:06:30
Move him up one or putting him in midfield means he still has to pick up his runner and be switched on defensively, so that’s another no.
18 Aug 2024 16:11:50
Fork, 100% mate.
18 Aug 2024 16:15:23
Didn’t realise how much distain there is for Tav. My only point would be - although he isn’t a good defensive RB. He is still miles ahead of those other 3 I mentioned. Who both went onto become good CMs, especially Ricksen.

While it is unfortunate I believe that for his own good as well as for the Club and PC, he needs to go.
He doesn't look like the Tav of last season and while he was never the greatest of defenders, his contribution in terms of goals and assists was exceptional.
He now appears to have lost a yard of pace, he is even slower at getting back than he ever was and he is leaving large gaps in defence that will cost us over the course of the season as they have already done.
Whether the media rumours of a move to Turkey or Saudi have contributed to his current lack of form I have no idea but even his strongest supporters are now having doubts or worse.
At the same time I'm not sure that PC has the 'cahonas' to drop him, or whether the Board would even allow the manager to drop him, but the longer he stays in the team, the more he will destroy his credibility and respect. This will also contribute to PC's credibility being questioned.

He's pish jefte 400k or 600 puts the full team to shame, Barron captain team a soft fags anyone ever pulled Tav up doubt it soy boy central.
18 Aug 2024 16:37:01
Anyone backing Tav now makes me really think.
18 Aug 2024 16:40:46
I think most of us do sunshine.
18 Aug 2024 17:29:42
I'd doubt PC would be told by any member of the board not to drop a player.
18 Aug 2024 18:22:39
Stevie G tried Tav in midfield …. Didn’t work.
18 Aug 2024 19:22:19
We have a manager at the moment trying to find a system now guys want to complicate it more by trying to build our team around a right back who shouldn’t be in the team.
18 Aug 2024 19:23:19
And I have a hell of a lot of respect for the guy.
18 Aug 2024 19:38:01
They tried him right wing also but was brutal.
18 Aug 2024 19:35:11
It's not disdain zikos it reality bud?.
18 Aug 2024 19:54:41
Goldson knew his time was up at Rangers and the offer fitted both him and us. I don’t believe that’s the case with Tav and his preference is to remain in Glasgow with his fam.
19 Aug 2024 03:08:46
He’s finished.
