I think Tav only really looks effective from out wide. Patrick Roberts has literally always played out wide.
In an ideal world I think those two could be our wingers but we are still lacking a genuine number 10 IMO and that combined with our winger options just compounds the problem.
Roberts has skill.. so did Carlos Marinelli.. and Stan Cummins, but for whatever reasons, they never quite fulfilled their potential. I hope he finds a place that suits him, whether it is Scotland, the USA or somewhere on the continent, but I don't think it will be in England, which is a shame because he seems to be a really good lad. Wherever he ends up, good luck to him.
Up until his injury he could have easily put Tav there and put in Roberts on the right or Roberts central. Warnock plays the 3 of them together because he's a negative nelly.
