A lot of people on here seem to be in the know of how bad a captain Tav is. Must be privy to what goes on on the training park, in the dressing room and on the pitch. Steven Gerrard is regarded as superb player and leader, so I think his judgement on who is captain is to be respected, regardless of what we all think. Tav is going through a bad spell atm, he will get back to his best soon and hopefully prove a lot of people wrong.

I don’t actually think he’s anything to prove, in all honestly we should know what we’re getting as he’s been at the club for years now. He’ll will win us more games than he loses, no doubt in my mind. What is frustrating though is the games he costs goals, I. e Hearts, Celtic, Young Boys etc.

He’ll still score and assist us goals but these will more than likely continue to be at home against the smaller teams who we dominate.

I think we’d benefit from taking some pressure off him and perhaps consider playing Flanagan at right back in the bigger games or away from home, as I said in another post, perhaps Ross McCrorie could be a long term solution.

Lastly, as the op has stated, we don’t know what does on behind closed doors, Tav could be being instructed to play a high line and push forward!

McCrorie isn’t a RB, holding mid will be his position.

I thought the same however Portsmouth seem to be speaking very highly of him in that position, how many of us honestly watch Portsmouth play? Could we honestly say yes or no without watching him 4 or 5 times?

SRK my sister lives in Southsea and her husband never misses a Pompey match. The fans down there do not rate Ross at all, and the most common comment is 'send him back. ' They are also highly critical of the manager playing him at right back where he has failed to shine at all. Maybe he's at the wrong club with the wrong coach, but he's certainly not setting the place alight, mate.
