Guys a crock. Very good player but he’ll never reach Robertson’s level due to never being able to stay fit.

Very harsh, last season yes, but for 2.5 seasons he virtually didn't miss a game. Best LB in the english Prem within 2 seasons for me, much higher ceiling than Robertson in terms of raw materials.

Was harsh, yes. I used to think him and Robertson were hard to split (with Robertson being better going forward but maybe not as good defensively).

I now think Robertson is the better player, and Tierney won't get better than him.

Now they're both playing down there.. I hope they both continue to be brilliant and big players for Scotland. As it is right now, Robertson is rightly our left back and captain and I wouldn't necessarily shoe-horn Tierney into the team.

Impossible to say. Tierney is only 22, and there is no way of telling how much he might kick on (as Robertson has done) now that he has moved to Arsenal.

Tierney does seem better defensively, Robertson maybe better going forward (I mean this in the proper footballing sense, not the lazy ‘in the future’ use of the phrase).

But they are both great players.

Only worry for Arsenal is Tierney’s recent injuries.
