Luke Shaw will make pretty much every team of the season though, and it’s not just because he’s English and plays for Man U. Tierney was really good for Scotland in the recent games, and outshone Robertson, and he’s had a pretty decent season overall for Arsenal. However, Robertson hasn’t had his best year, in the previous couple of seasons he was a key part of a PL and Champions League winning side. You’ve obviously got Digne, Reguillon & Chilwell who are all very, very good players. Zinchenko is one recently as well who seems to have been transformed and is playing absolutely class. Overall, yeah there are quite a few on a similar level - would I pick Tierney above all of the ones I’ve mentioned? Probably not. Why I probably would, is because Tierney is looking so good in a poor team. Put him in a better team and I think he's got it in him to perform and step up another level. In terms of his performances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a huge headed teammate for company. Tell me you haven’t watched Luke Shaw this season, without actually telling me you haven’t watched Luke Shaw this season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 It can be hard to tell when Tierney is seriously hurt because he's absolutely terrible for the play acting. He played well again last night though, I really think we'll see him move from Arsenal soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His issue is he is hard as nails and will play on through a broken leg if he can. Play acting my arse. Another top performance from him last night absolutely rinsed one of England's top young players. No joke there isn't a better LB on the planet than him right now. Chilwell on the other side is just about fit to lace his boots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is one instance from February of this year: It's fine to admit a top player has some faults btw.

Its not the same as feigning injury, which you referenced in relation to him going down against Chelsea where he was hurt. Its not "hard to tell" the difference its very easy. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be crazy to sign it but probably will as he's just a daft wee laddie and loyal to a fault. That's how he stayed at Celtic far too long. He should turn it down and allow his contract to run down till he has 1 or 2 years left and the top clubs in Europe will be all over him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you find it "hard to tell" the difference between being clattered and trying to get an opponent sent off, which is what you said, I can't help you. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never asked for your help. Kieran Tierney fakes injury, that was my point. I've provided evidence. You can dress it up as "helping his teams situation" if you want, I'd still rather he didn't do it. I'm aware there are times Tierney will actually be hurt and that may well have been the case last night, but sometimes the boy cries wolf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, almost all players in the modern game would take an opportunity to attempt to have an opponent sent off. If you can't tell the difference between that and getting thumped that's your problem. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
