Tavernier

He’s infuriating to watch because he can do the hard stuff but the simple things he messes up regularly. He seems to have such a lack of awareness when the ball is played into him, he often holds onto the ball for far too long when there are passing options and he misplaces easy passes all the time.

I can see why Wilder plays him because he does give us a lot of energy and he does create chances, he’s just really, really frustrating to watch. Maybe I just have to get used to the fact that he’s going to annoy me but he will make something happen 😂

This just about sums up how I feel about him. He's very good, great engine and workrate, he does get in some good attacking positions but final ball, shooting and decision making are either excellent or woeful. At times I'd be going crackers playing alongside him, but he's well worth his place and those getting on his back are being extremely harsh. I think the frustration from some is that he could be an even better player with more consistency in these areas and elevate himself into a top top player.
 
Look at the output of players like Watmore, Crooks and Jones in a much shorter space of time.

For an attacking player whos had LOTS of game time in the past 2 calendar years, his stats are shameful in my opinion.

I don't understand people defending last nights performance just because he "put 2 good crosses in". I'd fully expect him to put more than that in, expecially as for some bizzare reason hes on corner and free kick duties now. Which might I add, Mcnairs set pieces are much better.
You should have a word with Wilder, he obviously thinks differently.
