•James Tavernier
The most underrated Full-back in Europe? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🔵
[A THREAD]
James Tavernier is an English RB currently playing for Rangers. He is the captain of Rangers and is currently having a world class season. I am going to talk about why Tavernier is one of the most underrated fullbacks in Europe and is a call up for England realistic? 🔥
Key Attributes:
• Leadership ✅
•pace and strength ✅
•Crossing✅
•Ability to score from set pieces ✅
•Reading off the game and making the correct tackle ✅
Attacking stats:
Tavernier is predominantly known for how good his attacking game is. So how does his G+A contributions compare to some of Europe’s elite attacking full backs?
Andrew Robertson- 6G+A
Theo Hernandez- 9G+A
Achraf Hakimi- 11G+A
James Tavernier-31G+A

Insane numbers.
Set pieces:
James Tavernier is deadly from set pieces, arguably being the best penalty taker in Europe scoring 9/10 penalties. This season Tavernier has also scored 2 free kicks whilst assisting 5 goals from set pieces.
It is safe to say Tavernier is consistently reliable 👌🏼
Defensive side:
James Tavernier also has a strong defensive side to his game which many people do not notice due to his attacking threat. This season he averages 2.3 tackles, 1.3 clearances, 1.2 interceptions and dribbled past 0.7 times per 90 minutes this season.

Solid numbers.
Europa league performance:
A lot of people try and discredit Tavernier’s numbers by saying he is playing in a poor domestic league.
Well, in the 20/21 Europa league Tavernier has scored 2 goals and registered 3 assists in 6 games whilst keeping 3 clean sheets.
Not bad at all 🔥
Overall review:
I think James Tavernier has established himself as the best performing RB in Europe this season and could 100% play in one of Europe’s top 5 leagues. With AWB and Kyle walker underperforming and Trippier banned, I think an England call up is throughly deserved👏
