Many Glasgow Rangers fans have been slamming the performance of James Tavernier despite their 2-0 win at home to Sparta Prague on Thursday night.
Two goals from Alfredo Morelos were enough to give Giovanni van Bronckhorst his first win as manager at Ibrox, a result which means that they will definitely finish second in the group and go into the next knockout round due to their superior head-to-head record against the Czech side.
Should Rangers start Tavernier?
Yes
No
However, while there were some good performances for the hosts, captain Tavernier would not have been hugely pleased with his efforts.
The right-back failed to record a single dribble, blocked shot, key pass or accurate cross in the match, while he was also guilty of losing possession of the ball on 27 separate occasions, the most by far out of any player on the pitch (SofaScore).
Rangers fans slam Tavernier
These Rangers fans slammed his performance on Twitter, with one supporter even going as far as to claim that Tavernier was ‘hopeless’ against Sparta:
“Tavernier trying to score an own goal?”
“Honestly though, how bad is Tavernier?”
“Get Tavernier substituted. He’s playing like he’s never kicked a ball in his life”
“Tavernier distribution been ropey in defence a few times. Barisic been OK, but not hugely involved either.”
“Sorry but surely Tavernier has been sussed out at this point.”
“Tavernier out of position so many times it’s unreal”
