I could start a thread about the sitter of a header Silva missed, Barisic failing to track O'Riley for the first goal, the game passing Diomande by for long periods, as it did with Lawrence too.
I could've even started a thread the last time we were there, when Sima sold the jerseys for their first goal from the corner, with his attempted clearance and so on and so on.
I didn't because we win as a team and lose as a team.
Plenty more happened in the conceding of the goal, other than Tavernier not cutting out the cross btw.
It was actually a pish ball, going straight to Davies, had Lundstram not overstretched and connected with it.
basically because he's not a defender , he stood off Stokes for hibs 1st goal in cup final and still stands off to this day ......... has anyone ever saw Tav put in a great tackle in a sense a ball he had no right to win ??

Odd Job pisses all over him and all nae neck had to was pretend to run 1 way and run the other to full the Croatian international time and again.
Have you not watched us at all for years???
Tav and Borna have NEVER closed down a cross. It’s like they’ve been told not to
at no point does he close down Maeda so the ball comes in ......... that is all on Tav
So it was well defended? The defender should do everything to stop the ball going into the box. Regardless of the attackers weaker foot or not, he should have been pressed and either took possession or put out for a throw allowing the team to get into shape. The captain is not beyond criticism

Because Maeda has his number, he can't cope with the pace. Its a classic full back instinct to back off when he doesn't trust himself up against a guy that's so much quicker than him. Unfortunately he just leaves himself in no man's land and the winger has all the apace in the world to pick his cross. It's not really good enough. I'd rather he punted maeda into the crowd tbh. Tav never seems able to put one on maeda early to let him know he's in for a battle. Not his style.
He scores a lot of penalties. He has scored 16 spfl goals from open play. About 2 a season. Definitely nothing special.

It’s long punts that he stands and watches float above his head then spectates whilst the opponent gets to pick his pass. It’s tactics that a part time team could exploit.

Highest scoring British defender ever...agree! Easiest ever Rangers right back to expose with long diagonal balls and chances at the back post...very possibly! I know which wins old firm games as Tav’s record in 9 years shows.
Having said all that, Lundstram doesn’t need to play the ball, Davies has it covered and clearing it!

In do hope you are correct.
Apart from one season he has been a loser, even with all his goals.

Unfortunately this is true. He let him run 10-15 yards before he confronted him. Every full back at any level knows not to back off into the box. Tav is in his thirties and still does.

He was outpaced by Maeda… pretty much every footballer in the world would have been.
Still put enough pressure to ensure the ball across was poor… lundstram proceeded to boot it in his own goal.
If you’re a clown = Tav’s fault

Stop the Cross.
It's not too much to ask. And we are continually guilty from BOTH sides.

This is absolutely correct, but...and it is a huge but...you can’t deny that Tav got exposed over his head, he then sauntered back not sprinted, and allowed Maeda to run at him for at least 10 yards before shutting him down. TOO LATE. Every full back at any level knows not to back off into the box...except Tavernier. Lundstram is at fault, Tav is complicit and until we stop being able to write that in Celtic games we will be second best in Glasgow and that is nowhere.

According to today's threads you are only allowed to blame one thing for the defeat and shouldn't discuss anything else.
The bleating sheep are out.

He's done. Was scared of an average player called Maeda who's owned Tav most games they've played against each other. Thanks for the penalties and memories but we need rid.

Jogging back not giving a %^*&,unacceptable for Rangers captain.

Both him and Barasic have played the same powder puff suicidal defensive style throughout their Rangers careers and people come on here wondering what we need to change?

I don't think Tav should be here next season, many people's opinion.
On the broader subject of OGs, Rangers do seem to concede more in recent times than before. The lack of composure and focus across our back line may have something to do with it...
He’s been a great servant for rangers , scored some memorable goals and had some great games. His biggest fans must see his time is coming to an end .
He needs to depart along with Goldson barasic and lundstrum along with a few others.
We need a proper fresh rebuild.
We need strikers and midfielders scoring not relying on a full back

Tav looks done. We’ve always known he’s poor defensively but what we got from him in an attacking sense - driving up the right side and zipping in crosses - tended to more than compensate.
He’s scored a lot of goals again this season, but I don’t feel he gives us anything like he used to offensively when he was more or less the driving force of the entire team.
And he also looks noticeably slower.
Recognising when a player is on the wane is a big part of club management, but it sounds like Clement is already planning for next season with Tav still at the forefront of it.

Once again the 'Captain' lead his team into yet another limp performance at the Piggery.
As usual his wee cheerleaders on here come to his rescue like Prince Charming.

Only a zoomer would deflect away from the real culprit, tav's fault all day long

Tav gave the ball away with a lazy pass 30 seconds before O'Reilly scores.
It was lazy, it was poor decision making, it was typical Tav, arms go up blaming someone else.
The phase after it, you can look at 3 or 4 different players who shirk any sort of responsibilty.

Aye, Tav stuck it in the net when it was easier to clear.

I think you missed the irony in his post..and his point ( obviously Lundstram at fault).

Was diabolical from letting the long pass to be controlled without a challenge then watch the wee lady's front bottom waltz past

Great buy but sadly time’s up.
Him and Goldson both need to go imo. Not that they’re the worst - not by far- but they’re the biggest influence and we need a real change of attitude.

Aye Tav let the Japanese go goal side of him and let the ball come into the box unchallenged . How many times does it need to happen . Hi James

I never really slag tav off but it’s the same stuff again from him against them…
Doesn’t get tight to meada and for 2nd goal he just backs off it’s pathetic and he gave ball away loads today.
I honestly think maybe a change at end of season is best for everyone.

Watch the goal again. Tav never even attempted to close the gap. Shocking defending.

No. If Tav could defend then Maeda doesn't get the cross in.
