Just a wee joke mate lol
Lol chill your beans
People on here do this for the players they don't likePeople put far too much of an emphasis on his weaknesses.
For perspective, Turnbull takes all Celtic's set pieces and is currently on 3 assists for the season.
He can only dream about the quality Tav possesses.
Tav's awareness in open play was perfectly illustrated by his perfectly flighted ball for Arfield's goal yesterday.
Set pieces, or open play assists, or even turning games on their head with out of this world goals like St Johnstone or Motherwell, Tavernier is invaluable to us and absolutely unique in Scottish football.
Wonderful ball throughHe was also played in Hagi to set up Morelos on Thursday. No assist, but a massive part in the goal.
Say it to the ones that moan about how “we never score from corners”Ive said it once and ill say it again. Crossing a ball from a corner cannot be an assist. Surely to god?
That’s called a secondary assist. Sometimes the secondary assist is more important in opening up the opposition than the assist.He also played in Hagi to set up Morelos on Thursday. No assist, but a massive part in the goal.

Ok here’s something that isn’t a lie, take away his goal contributions, and the subsequent points gained from that, and we’d likely be fighting Hearts for 2nd right now.
Secondary assist, get it right!I believe the kids call that a "pre assist"
Ive said it once and ill say it again. Crossing a ball from a corner cannot be an assist. Surely to god?

Could say the same in reverse.Lies, damned lies and statistics.
He’s the captain, he’s kinda supposed to play well regularly. If he has a good game it shouldn’t be particularly noteworthy. Yet every time Tavernier plays well we get a slew of threads like this one. Methinks they doth protest too much. Almost as though some latch on to every single positive since they’re only too aware a few negatives will be along soon.
Saying it more than once doesn’t make it any less false.Ive said it once and ill say it again. Crossing a ball from a corner cannot be an assist. Surely to god?
Stick to talking about that yank sport with an egg-shaped ball, proper football clearly isn’t for you.Lies, damned lies and statistics.

Cmon man a 12 year old could deliver a cross ball. Now if we had scored from hagi's cross that woukd have been an assist. A corner whatever next a goalie smashing a 90 yard goal kick the defenders miss and someone scores
Everybody is expected to play well not just the Captain.The thing is if he was perfect he would not be playing with us.Even the players at the very top clubs make the odd error.Lies, damned lies and statistics.

Kent hasn’t delivered as much as he should have.To add a little more context to these numbers because I don’t think people appreciate just how good they are.
Ryan Kent has 17 assists in league games since he signed for us in 2018.
The funny thing is, if we were linked with a full back, who had 70 goals in 5 seasons, 100+ assists and missed an average of less than 2 games a season - we’d be creaming ourselves at the prospect!
Imagine the price quoted was £250k as well.
Absolutely. The pile on that happens on individuals for every goal we concede helps nobody. The majority of goals we concede are usually down to a culmination of factors, same as any team.Been our best player all season we lose goals as a team
I take it folked learned this from the commentators and media the same way we learned Turnbull was the assist king at some point last season….. what do you mean no!!
I don’t understand how no one in the EPL has ever taken a gamble on him. He’s a great player, yes perhaps not the most “defensive” right back but doesn’t mean he can’t defend. He’d offer great option for top half of table or as first choice for lower EPL - if playing 3 or 5 at the back he’d help get the goals I’m sure. Anyway I think at his age likely will be here till retires, I just wonder if we’ll see Patterson replace him as first choice in a year or two or see Patterson move before that for big buck (luck depending etc). Shows what a great player he is that continues to put in big numbers as often begins to slide once the opposition get used to how you play.
That's probably why he signed for a team in the Scottish 2nd tier and why he's still playing in Scotland and not the EPL.His forward play is nearly always great its his defensive duties that let him down.

I could never have an attitude like that to a Rangers captain.Lies, damned lies and statistics.

Mate it was a joke. A wee laugh i was having. People are going off there nuts. Feart to write anything in here now people are so touchy lolThere's a higher percentage chance of an attacker scoring form a cross, pass, or through ball into the box in open play than score from a crossed corner. In fact, corners are about the most difficult phase in a football game to score from, of course the provider should get an assist.
Since Gio came in I've noticed him playing balls like that more. He's played 4/5 through balls that have set up good chances. We scored with 2 of them.He also played in Hagi to set up Morelos on Thursday. No assist, but a massive part in the goal.
It’s a discussion forum, put a point out there and people will discuss it.Mate it was a joke. A wee laugh i was having. People are going off there nuts. Feart to write anything in here now people are so touchy lol
You have a vg point BBL .His two assists today takes him to 10 in 12 league games (also has 3 goals).
He's already passed last seasons total of 9 in 33 games.
His best in the top flight was 16 after 37 in season 18/19.
Looks on course this season to smash that contribution.
Cmon man a 12 year old could deliver a cross ball. Now if we had scored from hagi's cross that woukd have been an assist. A corner whatever next a goalie smashing a 90 yard goal kick the defenders miss and someone scores
We all know how it works. Awesome in attack, crap in defence. Apart from last season that's how it is.
Love a good stats post!His two assists today takes him to 10 in 12 league games (also has 3 goals).

Someone needs to start the "Albertz and Cooper were shite" thread, just to see if set-pieces count.Free kicks not count as goals either then?
An assist is just the last player who passes the ball to the guy who scores.Cmon man a 12 year old could deliver a cross ball. Now if we had scored from hagi's cross that woukd have been an assist. A corner whatever next a goalie smashing a 90 yard goal kick the defenders miss and someone scores
That is a staggering statistic! What a player.Aye but he's shite, liability, needs dropped, never a captain etc.
Pity the rest of his teammates couldn't post numbers like that.
8 in his last 5 games I believe.
That’s true but Tav has improved his forward play quite a bit with us from when he arrived.That's probably why he signed for a team in the Scottish 2nd tier and why he's still playing in Scotland and not the EPL.
Same with Goldson, some people expect him to be like Barsesi, but he's an spl player for a reason.
