Not wearing their boots you have to be tall to play CB it's just a fact. How are you gonna mark Lukaku if you're 5-9? Your team has lost the game straight away, he'll just play right on you and they'll hit him all the time and you'll win nothing. It's just not possible. You can't play CB at the top level now if you're not tall, you just can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Walker and Azpilicueta are obvious equivalents of what Tierney could offer for Scotland in a back three. The height issue would be more of an issue in a back two. The most important aspect of this, though, is whether he is better than the alternatives. He'd certainly be my choice for LCB in a back three. He's probably still the best option at right back in a back four, despite not being very good there, as we have no decent right backs whatsoever. ^^^ Absolutely spot on. Not if everyone is fit. He's not first choice.Right. By claiming Otamendi isn’t first choice, you’ve just confirmed that obvious-troll-is-obvious and worlds stupidest person are one and the same. Totally!

No doubt the criteria of "can't play centre back" somehow doesn't exist in a back three though, as if the role somehow massively changes. It does, as mentioned above. You don't know what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones is 1.8m in height. As is Mariappa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

54_and_counting Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I thought this discussion was about tierney supposedly being better defensively than robertson because he can play left side of a back 3, so where has this height of a centre half in a back 4 nonsense came from? Plenty of 3 man backlines have smaller players there, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Robertson and Tierney are both ace. Out of the two, Tierney would probably make a better central defender, though I wouldn't be averse to playing robbo there if we needed to. Expecting to be banned by the mods for being reasonable.
