Tavares is currently on loan at the French club Marseille as the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City does not guarantee him first-team football.
He said:
Tavares has gone out on loan, I saw. I think if they had a better left-back, then you probably would be in the top four now. I don’t like singling one player out, but I just think he cost you in certain games.
I remember that game at Crystal Palace last season, it was on Monday Night Football and I said on TV ‘he has to come off at half-time’, I think he put Xhaka left-back.
