I'd like to see McCausland hit double figures in goals and assists.

If Tav does go we’ll need another RB. Any thoughts?

Nah, need starters who are better than those who have left.

I think a full season from Cortes will cover the loss of Tavernier's output. 

 

Tavernier scored 5 non-penalty goals in 38 league games last season (0.13 p90) . Cortes scored 1 in 6 (0.16 p90). You'd expect him to better that, though. 

 

Tavernier's assists p90 was 0.24, while Cortes was 0.28. 

 

It's the 'extra' assists from a defender that worries me most, but most fullbacks should be able to nowadays. (Yilmaz does have an xA p90 of 0.21.)

 

And that's comparing a well-established player with a youngster just getting used to the league. 

 

I know this post won't go down well...

In English please 🙏 

 

Edit - why when reviewing Tavs stats do we discount penalties? Do they not count?

You'd rather have an old fogey starting than a young prospect that's also a starter? 

 

Weird. 

 

It's a difficult task, but it's not impossible - Cortes, for example, is a starter with a high ceiling.

I never said that. 

 

I said we need players who are better than those that have left. 

 

Never mentioned age.

Cortes go brrr?

 

Or, Cortes will make up for the loss of Tavernier's output.

You chose 'starter' over 'project'. The latter implies youth. 

 

I suggested both in one, e.g. Cortes.

So if he makes up Tavs output, we are no better than last season? Surely we need to better Tavs output?
