Gordopolis Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Nice wee piece about Tierney on BBC Sport today: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55522579 Former Arsenal centre-half Martin Keown tipped him as a future Arsenal captain. Manager Mikel Arteta suggested: "He's got something special in his blood." The Scotland defender himself said of the wintery conditions that had put the game in doubt ahead of kick-off: "It is what it is." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are discussing on the right Everyone agrees he can do it on the left , some even think he is better than Andy Robertson , in Robertson's position 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Maurice Malpas ( and Doug Rougvie ? ) Maurice Malpas wasn t a good left full back ?Danny McGrain was a magnificent left back for Scotland. He was by preference a right back but by playing him there we got the benefit of being able to include another excellent player in the team ie Sandy Jardine at RB. These discussions are nothing knew. FWIW I’d play Tierney at LCB in a three but he’d clearly be a very decent option at RB if we did play a back 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point obviously was, if has played the same role on the left hes not going to be absolutely clueless as how to do so on the right.

DukDukGoose Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 He's been fantastic for months. If half of them had an ounce of the desire he had then they'd have been nowhere near the bottom of the league. I don't think he's their 'best' player but that's a pointless argument anyway. Saka is a game changer and is probably the most effective player with Tierney just behind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is probably their best attacking outlet which is quite something from LB. All he needed was a sustained period of fitness and now he has had that he is really starting to arrive as a top player. For comparison, he's exactly the same age right now that Robertson was when he was breaking into the Liverpool team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Dave Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I don’t think we can afford to play him LCB, he is too good an attacking option. He can go from a standing start and ghosts by players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
