Match Thread Hearts v Rangers - 12:30 Saturday - RangersTV

[Nairn Bear]

Our backline is absolutely boggin, boy stepped by tav with 1 stride and yilmaz sleepin again

 

[Eddie Doc]

Tav is genuinely awful these days.

Constantly loses the ball

Constantly loses his man

Constantly gets out ran

A genuine worry if he is our main RB next year.

He can't be.

 

[BruceyBalboa]

Shocking defending again. Right side is a joke and Yilmaz needs to do better at the back post

 

[Stevie13000]

Tav is genuinely awful these days.

Constantly loses the ball

Constantly loses his man

Constantly gets out ran

A genuine worry if he is our main RB next year.

It’s a worry if he is our right back next week.

 

[Eastern province bear]

Deary me Tav that was bad defending

 

[DazRFC94]

The ball should never have got there, there’s a big gaping hole on on the right of our defensive 4

You still have to defend properly and mark your man. It’s abysmal from Tav to let the cross in, doesn’t excuse the lack of defending thereafter though.

 

[valencia05]

Think we are going to need Sterling to play right back, left back, centre back and midfield next week.

Sterling clan: Dujon, Raheem, Pounds and Effort

 

[HongKong55]

Tav is finished and must be moved on, he can't even run these days

Aye but….. numbers remember! Anyone still blindly defending him needs to wake up and smell the coffee.

 

[gusty2]

The lack of knowing what is going on round about our defenders has been yet another issue all season.

 

[Chopper]

Laughable that was even flagged for offside.

 

[The Doctor]

Now there's a surprise, the dodgy first half linesman finds his flag in the second half and uses it to flag an offside that wasn't. Who'd a thunk it?

 

[Chryston Bear]

Yilmaz asleep again

 

[sj2]

He can’t stop a cross. He can’t deal with a high ball at the back post, he can’t win a tackle.

Defensive bombscare.

At no point did his legs move there ,seen invalids with more mobility

 

[A1bertz]

Tav can't start at right back next week.

 

[Goity]

Another invisible foul from dirty Dhon

 

[Agent Harris]

Clement has some massive decisions to make this summer

Moving James Tavernier on has to be a priority

If he starts the cup final next week its over before it’s begun and if we go into next season with him we can start the new manager search soon

 

[Inverhouse]

Tav is absolutely terrible.

 

[TallBearCr]

Yilmaz for that 2nd hearts goal is shocking, doesnt look over his shoulder once, only sees the boy when hes putting it in the net.

 

[Fairbrass]

If Clement wants to keep his job, Tav & Goldson have to go, this pish has gone on long enough.

 

[EckP]

Hopefully gone after the final.

He has 2 years left on his contract (as has Goldson) neither are going anywhere unfortunately.

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

Tav is genuinely awful these days.

Constantly loses the ball

Constantly loses his man

Constantly gets out ran

A genuine worry if he is our main RB next year.

My only concern at this point is about next week. He’s going to get absolutely roasted.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Clement has a huge decision to make on Tav next season.

There can only be one decision. Buy a proper right back and either bench Tavernier or sell him. The latter hopefully.

 

[Eastern province bear]

Thst is a fuking corner kick FFS

 

[WATP1979]

The wee Bond baddy looking one will rip Tav to bits AGAIN next weekend

 

[Kit_]

Just as my hopes were up for winning the cup final with Sima and Sterling back, James Tavernier and the defence show me why we should probably still be worried.

 

[Texas ranger]

Outwith our goalkeeper, our defence is awful and that includes our captain. Big changes needed there next season.

 

[Gameboy]

Honestly Tavernier has there ever been a worse defender at right back. He is utterly hopeless defending against someone running at him. Still just horrible after 9 years. That was pathetic.

Plenty. Tav’s having a bad game but there’s been far worse than him.

 

[Thunderclaw]

Davies has been class today. Build the defence round him

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

A decision on Tav needs to be made at some point.

Whether it’s Sterling or another It needs to be proper planning for it because it’s staring at us

 

[cuecard1872]

There can only be one decision. Buy a proper right back and either bench Tavernier or sell him. The latter hopefully.

I agree but have a niggling doubt it will happen.

 

[Earth Worm Jim]

tav looks like hes going through the motions, wonder if in his head he is away

 

[Recoba]

We all know Tav shouldn't start next week but he will.

It should be Sterling at right back.

 

[Lerwickstan]

He has 2 years left on his contract (as has Goldson) neither are going anywhere unfortunately.

If they want to play regular football the pair of them may decide they have to.

 

[Captain Cutlass]

Ferguson giving McCausland MOTM...can't disagree with that, he's had a great game.

 

[Fergie90]

My only concern at this point is about next week. He’s going to get absolutely roasted.

He will play but in that case why is he playing today? He is miles off it and rest can only benefit him.

 

[Orange County]

Good job he's going to then eh.

Aye hopefully eh.

 

[ibroxbound]

Tav is finished and must be moved on, he can't even run these days

He's bulked up too much

 

[nelster]

Tavernier. Minus all the good attacking bits.

Welcome to 2017

We can have a thread later. Looks utterly fedup with the inverted nonsense and has been neutered since Christmas.

 

[dexter rfc]

tav n yilmaz jeezo

 

[Bryanmc]

He's been weirdly quiet going forward the last 2 games too. Offered pretty much zero.

Defending miles off and his distribution and crossing has benn way below its usual standard

 

[scooter70]

Plenty. Tav’s having a bad game but there’s been far worse than him.

There really hasn’t been many worse than Tav today

It genuinely amazes me the Tav fanboys get so upset when he gets criticised, they are more fans of Tav the player than Rangers the team it seems

He’s been atrocious……again

 

[si72]

We really need to thank Tav for his services after nextweek.

 

[Barrymoped]

There can only be one decision. Buy a proper right back and either bench Tavernier or sell him. The latter hopefully.

Perhaps play Sterling in his favoured position at RB?

His versatility is his best asset but will probably also mean he won’t ever play just 1 position, he will be moved to wherever the injuries are.

 

[Judge]

We all know Tav shouldn't start next week but he will.

It should be Sterling at right back.

We need him in midfield.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

They are going to put Maeda on him again at run at him constantly

 

[RossS1872]

Even in the yearly "we'll play good cause there's no pressure" games, we've been so poor.

 

[Pentasa]

Good tracking back by Silva there

 

[Agent Harris]

Lost count amount said no way Tav starts against the Tim’s

It’s genuinely painful knowing he will

 

[BigBlueAngus]

Tavernier. Minus all the good attacking bits.

Welcome to 2017

We can have a thread later. Looks utterly fedup with the inverted nonsense and has been neutered since Christmas.

Give it a rest man. Inverting a full-back doesn't mean he can't track a runner, complete a pass, or win a tackle. He's been horrible for weeks.

Enjoy your thread later.

 

[DJ Blue]

Getting really sloppy now
