Tav - so I'll ask it again...

I'm not sure some of you are really Boro fans. I was brought up on the notion that Boro fans will always get behind someone who gives 100%. Tav gives that every game, I'd like to see the stats on how much ground Tav covers in that midfield role, I bet its more than Pajero in the games he started. Before anyone comes back with 'giving 100% isn't enough' or 100% should be a given', I've seen enough players over the years not giving as much as 5%. Gestede, Ramirez, Yakubu, Kitson, Thompson, etc etc.
As well as that if Blackpool had won that game they would be 3 points behind us so they aren't a bad side and I thought they gave us a difficult game.

Sorry Tav doesn’t cover as much ground as people seem to think, always appears to be a yard away from we’re he should or could be.

Spot on, but as you will no doubt have observed at matches there are some who just can't handle the lows of the game and expect perfection. We are coming out of a really bad period since the Karanka years and NW saved us and CW is lifting us. Where will it end, who knows just enjoy the journey. UTFB

Tav took two and both went straight our way past the back post, McNair one was dangerous to the middle of the goal

Tav took three. The two in the first half were terrible. The one in the second half was spot on but, as per normal, none of our big lads burst their guts to get on the end if it. Paddy also put a great corner in, in the second half. Think only Paddy has scored so far this season from a Howson corner.
 
Big fan of Tav but I’ll admit he seems to be doing better without the ball than with it at the moment.

Also with regards to the overhit corners it’s clearly a ploy to find Bamba round the back but he keeps over cooking it. As pointed out above people have clearly chosen to ignore the good corner he put in in the second half as it doesn’t fit the agenda.
 
Why are you obsessing over one perceived negative ? We are on the up, Chris Wilder will replace him if he sees fit.
 
Defensively brilliant tonight, think this is a much worse side without him, still work to do going forward but that will come.
For those criticising him after every mistake, why do you think he has played almost every game under his last two managers? Must be doing something right
