Tinmans Love Child Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Just watched some of the highlights of Rangers European cup run and was nice to see 2 City ex Loanee’s playing a big part (we taught them all they know ). I know Kent was rubbish for us but he played great in the 1st leg v Dortmund and Tavernier scored the pen last night in front of an amazing crowd at Ibrox, what an atmosphere, I guess they don’t miss their time with us anymore than we miss them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't that Kent couldn't play, it was that he didn't want to. He just didn't want to be here. I guess it's the flipside of the loan successes of Tammy Abraham and Steven Caulker here, that you might get a Ryan Kent or Danny Rose who think they are already too important to be at "little" Bristol City. It's one factor in why Pearson doesn't like loans in, I suppose. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tin Posted February 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2022 I was disappointed at the time that we didn't make Tavernier's loan with us permanent. I thought he was class in the second half of our double-winning season and was a good age at the time (23) with scope for improvement, and so it's proved. Good on him. 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if we tried to or not, mind. Me neither, and the irony is that we've struggled to have decent RBs throughout my three decades of supporting City. At that time, we had both Tavernier and Ayling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Had the conversation about Kent the other night. He plays for a team that dominates the ball now, so he gets it and can have as many touches as he wants. When he came here, we played a quick passing style moving the ball around at pace. When he got the ball he slowed everything down, completely the wrong sort of player for us at that time. Bad scouting IMO. Tavernier was good for us, I would have liked to keep him, but I must admit I wasn't impressed what I saw when he first went to Rangers. He has improved a lot, his levels of performance have been brilliant. For a while, the easy bet was Rangers to win & Taverier to score, got 14 in 18/19. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Tavernier - watched him last night and they mentioned something like 50 goals, plus numerous assists from wing back.

Super Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 It was an odd game Dortmund looked levels above them 1st half and Bellingham was the best player on the pitch but 2nd half they were awful.

Port Said Red Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Watching the 0 6 drubbing of Bradford City to clinch promotion, the two stars of that performance are Joe Bryan and Tavernier.

It's probably why he is still playing at that level. Tavernier much better crosser of the ball than Little though. Tavernier also takes a very good free kick.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) I would have liked to have kept Tavernier but he's definitely more of a wing back than full back. He's OK defensively and was good enough in a confident City team that swept aside all before it in league one and again in a strong Rangers team in a league where his defensive frailties are not overly exposed. His strengths however are his coolness in the final third going forward and his dead ball delivery. I'm not too sure he'd be such a stand out player in poor side, even in Scotland. Kent is a typical winger. World beater one game, panel beater the next. He has matches of brilliance for Rangers but he has games where his passing ability and decision making are very poor.

It was. And what a penalty! Blasted it into the top corner with a slight bend on it as well. Not only that, but he took a superb corner which resulted in a bullet header to make it 3-0. Ryan Kent got their penalty courtesy of VAR. I still don't think it was the correct decision. A good, very watchable match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
