It's the Scottish PL. Tavernier was a League One player when he played in England. The players that Ross County sign from England are from League 1 and League 2. It will look crap if you're comparing the standard to the PL. In the context of the league Tavernier's stats are immense though. The players from the Scottish PL that are good enough for United are not very common at all.

It wasn't a great game for him. Too deep as a team, too much reliance on his off-the-ball and defensive game, both of which are very raw. And ahead of a right-back used to manning the flank single-handedly and not yet in tune with his flank partner.
So far he's had one very good performance, one poor one. Rangers getting pinned like that in the first half is likely to be an anomaly - it is a long time since it has happened in an Old Firm game never mind a standard SPL tie. He's likely to have plenty more of the former performances where he routinely gets the ball 25 yards from goal and we can play to his strengths.

Yeah. He was regularly making those runs in behind the defence. I mean he scored after a couple of minutes of his debut making that exact same run. And the manager even saw fit to praise him for attacking the back post (not all creatives do, they often prefer to hang back to get the ball on their preferred foot)
I can never pass up even the slightest opportunity to quote Tropic Thunder.
It will be interesting if he starts tomorrow
Rumor has it that the terms of the loan stipulate that he has to be a starter

Whether he is playing great or shite?????
I think you are getting confused with the agreement we have with Ronnie.
Poor decision to drop him at home in front of a full stadium. He hasn’t played at Ibrox yet has he? He was clearly shell shocked against Celtic and the atmosphere, benching him the next game is not the right decision for me.
The Rangers manager is too cautious in his approach. This loan would have been better is Gerrard was still in charge.

Very unlucky to find himself on the bench. Their best player in his first game when he was on the ball.
Celtic game the entire Rangers team was useless. Their attackers had no hope to impress at all.

Seems odd not to start him here. Worrying though.
It’s very odd, his first home game and chance to play to the crowd.
Shite.
Greg Taylor had him in his pocket for the first half on Wednesday, before he (Diallo) was hooked off. No doubt he will come on today.
I'm not surprised he's dropped after Wednesday. It looks a big game for Rangers.
Bit of common sense in the amad thread. he was one of rangers worst players on Wednesday. He’s good enough but they have to stay in the hunt and can’t afford another performance like that. I’m sure if he was ripping it up in training since he’d probably have started again but Wednesday was most likely a shock to the system for him and the manager. He’ll come back stronger.
A hundred percent this.
He's new to the team, got thrown in the deep end mid week, and this is another tough game.
A good cameo in the second half and he's back in the managers mind for starting, but Rangers do look more balanced on the right today.
Amad is going to be clattered if he gets on here, this is a war not a football game.
4-0. Would have been a great game to play him.....
Strange to not give him any time considering his first game was very promising.

Here he comes
Rangers first priority is themselves.
As is every football club I'd imagine
Benched for a game they win 5-0. Didn't take long for this loan to go south
He was dropped because he was absolutely awful in the game against Celtic. It isn’t that deep.
He played poorly in his last game, so right now it's the latter. Speaking of overreactions:
V. Bronckhorst seems like a decent man manager, give it some time.
He has started two out of the three games he's played so far.
Not really an issue that he gets benched in a tough game for them.
I think it was pretty stupid to throw him in at the deep end against Celtic away. This game would've been perfect for his first start at home
I think Axel Tuanzebe would disagree with your last point.
Amad was always going to be dropped today he was the worst player on the pitch in both his games despite his tap in goal and after the way Celtic destroyed Rangers changes were going to be made
He wasn't the worst player in both of his games. He was the worst in his last game. No need to invent things.
I don't know where or why folks come up with stuff like this. He was terrible against Celtic but one of the best players in the game before where he scored and was such a threat as he basically toyed with the opposition LB for the rest of his game. Did you actually watch the game vs Ross County?
There's no way he watched it as no one in their right mind would come to that conclusion. He was their joint best player.
I didn't watch the Celtic game but a young lad in a team getting mauled is always going to struggle. That's what he's there to learn though, important experiences.
Bench again for the game against Hibs.
Might as well retire
Playing well today. Should have had an assist but the striker fecked it
Got his assist and is definitely one of the best players when he has the ball.
Obviously quality of opposition is poor but looks every bit as good as Ramsey etc

Given MOTM today.
Nice to hear. Hopefully means he gets some serious minutes against Dortmund
Glad to see he did well today but sadly he'd actually be a great option currently given our lack of forwards in the squad at the moment.
Great to hear. Could be massive for us next season.
He’s right where he needs to be at the moment. He has all the talent in the world but he needs to play and also the conditions, on and off the pitch will likely accelerate his maturity.
