It's great to see. Now that he's up and running he's made a huge difference to their defence along with Martinez.

Tierney had a great game today. He’ll prove his worth at Arsenal no probs. Top talent.

And again.

He's a good good player.

He’s a great player. Not as good as Robertson but few left backs in the world are. Given how poor Scotland’s options are at Centre Half, Steve Clark should look at a back 3 with Tierney on the left side with Robertson as left wing back.

I think personally he’s going to be good as Robertson.

Arsenal want to be a CL-qualifying side and ultimately a club side that will win the EPL and the CL itself.

Bit of work to be done with the squad but with Tierney they have a young, and I mean young, player who looks confident and competent at left back, left wing back, left mid, or on the left of a back central three. He is not long back from injury but is showing up as one of the best players in the team.

I think Arsenal played a blinder in signing him and if Tierney stays fit then they have a nailed on talent regardless of how they choose their defensive set—up.

He was great tonight against Man City.

Totally agree. What an outstanding talent he is. Got a brain too.

I have to admit I think he has the potential to be the better left back. Which is mad to say at this point cause Roberston is a very important part of one of the best teams in the world.

But the biggest issue for KT has been his injuries and I don't see Arsenal making the jump squad wise that Liverpool have but as a player I think he has it all for a full back. But I also think he has the better attributes to be a LCB than Robbo too so I'd probably try and find a system they allowed them to both play down the left side of the park and overlap each other, or move KT to LCB to make a back 3.

The fact Tierney is now playing on the left of a back 3 at such a high level should mean Clarke will surely be thinking about it. We need to have him and Robertson playing in the same Scotland team; they're simply our best players.

Totally agree 👍

I'm sure he will break down soon, i read that on here so it must be true.

Back up the road in a year or two was another beauty too.

The guys quality, and can fill in at centre back too, although my preference would be left back with Robertson pushed on, it must surely be worth a try?

Yup great news as it shows a way for both to play in the same team. Might mean Scotland playing some variation of 3-4-3 to make it work.

Robertson would be fine at left midfield. For Scotland it would be the same role as he does at Liverpool but just less defending.

Our problem is up front.

Left back and left midfield/wing are very different roles. Don't think Robertson would be good there.

Well i'm astounded you dont agree.

[Steve20]

He's good, but nowhere near as quality as Robertson.

At left mid in the Scotland team he'll prob still have to do more defending than he does at left back for Liverpool.

Sorry what is that supposed to mean?

Why shouldn't I disagree? Are you someone special that cant be disagreed with? Its not like I was at all rude, I just made my point, exactly the same as you did.

Not at all, is just that i've not seen you disagree with anyone else before, and just found it astounding.

Or of course it might have been a woosh moment as glory hunter said.

Absolutely Robertson could be pushed further up for his country.

Nonsense to suggest otherwise.

Tierney has played in mid a few times, Robertson maybe less so. If they were both comfortable with the roles then we could potentially have the option of switching them in-game to really unsettle defences. We see it all the time up top with forwards swapping left and right. It is probably dependent on four at the back and someone wide left mid though.

Regardless it is a nice problem to have given the paucity of options generally over the last few decades. I think this has been covered on a different thread but in the late seventies into the eighties, we had ridiculous strength in depth across multiple positions. Players barely played for Scotland who in other circumstances would get fifty-plus caps.

Scotsman John McGovern - twice European Cup winning captain for Notts Forest won zero caps for Scotland

It appears they are very different roles, and obviously can't be done apparently, even without trying it.

I guess it reaffirms the view of many women that men can’t multi-task.

They are very different roles.


How many wingers can play fullback well? Would you be happy with Daryl Horgan playing left or right back next season? Its the same the other way. Would you play Gray or McGinn right wing?

Has he? Genuine question. Was it at Celtic?
