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. Lol. Seriously Robertson at CB come on. You'd be better playing Oliver Burke there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuttonDressedAsLahm Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Gary Medel - 2x Copa America Champion. 5’7” and has played CB on numerous occasions for Chile and Internazionale. Javier Mascherano - 5’9” won a fair few important games for a couple of half decent teams, playing CB almost exclusively for the last few years.

I seriously hope you used Google to find that information, because if you didn’t, then it’s worthless. Google Or GTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re two pretty well known names in international football, but did have to Google their heights - back when Strachan spouted that pish about being genetically inferior. i’m sure Bing can get me few more.

Medellin isn't CB you mean sweeper. I'm right. I don't need to check. Google it then I'll accept your apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Yup. Apparently sweepers and players who play either side in a back three don't count. We’re really narrowing down the definition of centre half then! I take it Mascherano has been labelled a sweeper too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays a sweeper in front of back four, when his team have the ball CBS split and he plays between them. You can't be great at champ man if you play 5-7 guys at CB.

Enigma Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I’d say Tierney is 3rd choice now. Real question should be how do we fit Robertson and Barry Douglas into a starting XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t need to google it. Devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameus Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I was always reticent to call Pep a troll, as I just credited him with being a bit thick, but the veneer has slipped unfortunately. Gone from being a fairly effective tool to being utterly shite at it in a few days. Poor show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
