The anti British Brigade on the dark side of Glasgow were after flanagan, we should be happy he's signed and mugged them of into the bargain.
So many variables but if we play 4 3 3 with Murphy and Candeias I think he is more likely to replace John as Murphy doesn't track back as much.
I like tav going forward but 1 on 1 he gets slaughtered too easily for me.
Check out Celtic 5th goal in 5-0 and hibs 5th goal in 5-5 and tell.me that's acceptable?
Horrendous.
I'm torn on tav. Going forward he's excellent though.
I fecking hope we don’t play 433 with Murphy and Candieas. This formation needs ripped up.
For Edouards (spelling) goal he was miles out of position, something he is guilty of doing a lot, which causes our CHs to get pulled all over the place.
Agree with this. Think DJ is very average personally.That's how I see it too. I suspect DJ's place is under far more threat than Tav's.
Agree with this.Tav as of now but if Flannagan can get anywhere near the level he was 4 years ago then its no contest.
But saying that, he's going to need a massive improvement in form to reach that level once again... If he can.
Players that don't track back will not be in the team for long.Not my favoured formation either but its one where I would see him starting to make up for lack of Murphy tracking back, I would rather 4 1 3 2 which removes both wide players and relies on full backs for width which for me would mean Tav and John starting.
Aye it's shocking. It's more his body shape against attackers. Just invites them to go by him, which they do with ease. Barker kills him any time he sizes him up.
Tav has definitely been our best player Flanagan had all the makings of a top premier league and international player but he has everything to prove now
I think you have a blind spot where Tav is concerned Hem.Tav is miles ahead of Flanagan. Absolute miles.
He might be okay backup, thats about it.
He hasn’t had any form for 5 years, so thats a big ask.I think you have a blind spot where Tav is concerned Hem.
I sincerely doubt that Flanagan will be viewed as back up by the management team. Assuming of course that he can regain any kind of form.

It really much rather not tbh... those are too painful to even think about never mind watch again.
Rather proved my point about a blind spot re Tav there.He hasn’t had any form for 5 years, so thats a big ask.
Infact hes only had form for one short spell in his entire career. But hey, better than the best right back in our league eh?
Tav on the right Flanagan on the left. Flat back 4 when they have the ball. Flanagan is not an attacking full back so will stay back giving us a back 3 when we have the ball allowing Tav to bomb forward to his hearts content. No more being caught on the counter with only 2 back.
Laughable.Flamoichkov.
You watched Ryan Jack closely at Aberdeen then?Rather proved my point about a blind spot re Tav there.
Maybe we're getting to the real root of your opposition to the Flanagan signing. Fearful that he'll replace your pin up boy?
In my opinion, Tav is not even the best RB in our squad, never mind the league. I'd play Ryan Jack at RB before Tav.
Laughable.
Not actually worthy of debate.
“Lies” is the word you’re looking for.I’m just amazed you can say he’s ‘constantly’ out of position.
It’s so far from accurate.
Far too sensible.We will need to see how good Flanagan is 1st
Hahahahahahah.Rather proved my point about a blind spot re Tav there.

Lies, damned lies and statistics.
Stats have their place but I'd rather trust my own eyes.
Tav is simply woeful when we're not in possession.
I watched him for Scotland at Pittodrie.You watched Ryan Jack closely at Aberdeen then?
A more accurete summation would be that I'd prefer him to be replaced because of his ineffectiveness as a defender.Let’s say, just for a laugh, what you’ve posted is true.
In most games, we have a lot more possession than not and, when you consider where the ball is when we don’t have possession, there can’t be more than twenty percent of the time when our right back is involved in the game.
However, you want to bin him based on his ineffectiveness for this time of game.
That can’t be it, surely.I watched him for Scotland at Pittodrie.
How many goals?A more accurete summation would be that I'd prefer him to be replaced because of his ineffectiveness as a defender.
He costs us goals, and any attacking prowess he has is outweighed by his shortcomings as a defender.
Plenty.How many goals?
Can't remember.That can’t be it, surely.
Who was that against?
No point in debating with you.Plenty.
