Wee Tam is a number 10.Better tell wee Sofascore wee Tam in CD4 says he is sh1te and never a captain and can't defend...
Bang on. Even one wide forward chipping in with numbers close to his and it would make all the difference. The importance in those wide forward positions in the modern game are massive and you see more and more teams goals come from there.If we had another 3 or 4 players of his quality we'd be winning leagues. As we did when we had Davis, Kent, Morelos and Helander in top form. We've got Lundstram in for Davis, pick one of 3 for Kent, Dessers where peak Morelos was, Souttar where Helander was and people wonder why we aren't running away with the league.
A defender scoring 24, 11 assists on top of that and how many clean sheets we've had I imagine.Wonder how they work their algorithm when 40 goal Viktor Gyokeres is below Tavernier!
I’m assuming that is their average marks out of 10 over the course of the season?Wonder how they work their algorithm when 40 goal Viktor Gyokeres is below Tavernier!
Was it financial or just that he didn't want to leave Holland?Bloody Veerman. Shame we couldn't get him over the line.
Top 3.....Our top ten players over the season. I’ll just post this and run
Or the cuunt at the bottom.Really wish we had signed the lady’s front bottom at the top

You don't win 38 games a season very often regardless of how good you are.Nobody wonders that though. They just wonder how they can drop multiple points against dross.
Seems like both. But who knows.Was it financial or just that he didn't want to leave Holland?

I also think teams are fitter and more tactically organised now than they have been in the past, and we're still seeing win percentages that would have won leagues in every other decade in our history falling short.
I don't see how you get the first two without the other and think our fans are very patronising to the opposition who are generally faring no better or worse in Europe than they have since the peak of Scottish football in the 80s.I'd agree tactically better and fitter but probably technically worse. But we digress.
If Billy Beane (Moneyball) had been working in football for the last 5 years, Tav would have been at the top of his listI'm still baffled why no team in England has come in for him.
His stats are phenomenal, and he's better than alot of RBs down there.

Our 9IAR team never won as often as these guys do in finishing second. One year they won the league with a 50% win rate. Do you think that the players in the 90s across Scottish football were better than they are now, and what kind of measurement can you use to determine that beyond how clubs get on in European football which is by and large the same?You genuinely don't see how tactics and fitness can be better but technique can be worse? I'd say we are tactically better and fitter now than in the 90s but we ain't the 9IAR team. I think that's replicated throughout Scottish football.
I love Tav, I genuinely just wish he played further up the field. As a last line of defense he's cost Rangers dearly over the years, so the stick he cops comes with the territory I'm afraid.Cops a lot more stick than he should imo.

Have any of those changed?I do, and I base it mainly on what I see. It helps that we have measures like national qualification to international tournaments, players moving from Scottish football to say, top English or European clubs, or players in Scottish football playing for their national teams.
I know we had to take the money, but I thought we should have moved Tav forward to RM and keep patterson at RB. The two of them could even have dove tailed with one another during games.I love Tav, I genuinely just wish he played further up the field.

Don't disagree on the Goldson point, but not sure Patterson would have been a defensive upgrade on Tav either tbh.I know we had to take the money, but I thought we should have moved Tav forward to RM and keep patterson at RB.

While I dont think Goldson is above criticism, the amount he gets, due imo to him having to constantly go out wide to cover for Tav who has been caught up the pitch. This leaves a gaping hole between Goldson and Souttar. teams are exploiting it on a weekly basis.

I think Scotland qualifying for the first time 20 odd years is due to the number of countries in Europe doubling.Scotland have qualified for their first tournament in over 25 years. Cba checking the others in detail but I'd wager the answer would be yes as general trends.
It’s absolutely criminal that we have never improved on Candieas on the right hand side and let’s be honest he wasn’t very good either.Unfortunately we have no right sided midfielder or winger who can play that area who can create or do anything constructive.
The team relies on Tavernier getting forward and creating chances. Where was a goal coming from on Sunday had Tav not put the ball on Dessers head?
It is a valid point though that Goldson is covering. That is when Lundstram should be dropping back. Always felt Jack was decent at covering Tav.
