The Tavernier criticism has always confused me. People want him hung, drawn and quartered when he's beaten to a header by someone who specialises in that area. But I think there's something wrong when we are so reliant on our right back for creativity. We normally play with 3 attacking midfielders and they shouldn't be shown up in the assists stats by Tavernier, it's not sustainable.

 

Arfield is the only attacking midfielder with pass marks on this measure with 6 assists. More than Kent and Candeias combined who have 2 and 3. Mikael Lustig has the same number of assists as Kent and Candeias combined. Let that sink in for a moment.

 

If we're going to win a league I think we need more quality in the creative department and I hope Davis alleviates the problem in the short term but I'm hoping that the failure to recruit a real creative player in this window is due to budget and player availability at this time of the year rather than a genuine belief that what we have is good enough.

 

It ain't all black & white though. You will read that nigh everyone is praising Tav's contribution re goals and assists, as well his workrate. The former, IMHO are due to not a small amount because of Candeias too, as these two work well together. If you take up all goals and assists of our "left fullbacks", i.e. Flanagan, Halliday, and Barisic, you end up with 2 goals and 9 assists, with essentially only one of them actually being a leftback. As has been pointed out, goals and assists are fine and great, if they come with a solid defensive performance. And we would lie if we say that there was not and is not room for improvement from Tav.

 

It is cool that we have him and have kept him, no question about that.
