Kieran Tierney: Top Tier

[grange]

Knee surgery and he's back after 3 months sounds like MCL or PCL corrective surgery. Not ideal but not as terrible as a blown ACL that usually blows up your MCL along with it. He should be back to normal.

His normal is missing 50% + of playing time. No way he gets no long lasting problems from this. It will only get worse, I would make him play as much as he can, not force anything and trick someone into buying him next summer.

 

[Riou]

Very good player, but he's missed large chunks/key moments in all of his 3 campaigns here.

The greatest attribute for a footballer, is availability.

Tierney needs to be replaced sadly, you can't trust him anymore.

 

[bingobob]

Brilliant he got some minutes in and will be fit and ready for the start of the season. A key player for us who hopefully puts the injury woes behind him. A fit and healthy KT walks into our first XI.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Looked sharp we just look more dangerous offensively with him. Just wish can stay fit for majority of season

Brighton is a defensive side.
we are not.
pointless comparison.

pointless comparison.

2 full backs, playing in the same league, comparing both defensive and offensive actions. Yes, completely pointless.

Is he really injured again? Maybe he’ll miss the first half of the season this time rather than the second half as he usually does.

I said it jokingly yesterday but apparently he is Zinchenko will start the season and if this crock ever gets fit again he’ll be riding the bench. Maybe he’ll be able to have an injury free career then.

Apparently so. The guy got injured last season doing a leg extention in the gym lmao. Lads made of paper unfortunately.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Feel for the lad.

Hopefully it's only a minor injury but we are at the stage now that it doesn't really matter how good a player he is when fit as you know he's going to be unavaliable for significant portions of the season.

Same vibes as Wilshere and Ramsey. Very good players but you just can't count on them unfortunately.

 

[AberGooner]

Yeah I've changed my mind now. He's definitely the one getting replaced by Zinchenko rather than Xhaka.

Just can't rely on him and I wonder if that's part of the reason behind the quickness with which that signing seems to be going through.

 

[Hunta]

Annoying he signed that £100k a week deal a year ago, should be trying to get rid.

Anything near what we paid for him would be great business.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Already muscular problem? And people think Zinchenko will be used as midfielder.

Honestly Tierney will have to hold bench soon i love him we look miles better when he on pitch but what the point if you can't stay fit

 

[berric]

I think wearing short sleeves in sub-zero temperatures ruined his bones and muscles.

Its our luck to the moment we give him good contract he missed half of games. We'll have to sell if he most of time injured

I think wearing short sleeves in sub-zero temperatures ruined his bones and muscles.

Here's the thing, cold weather forces your muscles to work harder. It can tighten muscles and joints leading to ache, pain as well as restricted motion and decreased flexibility. So maybe there might be something small in it.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I'm actually fairly similar to Tierney tho, I'd go running in sub zero temperatures with short sleeves and shorts so I can't really criticise but I always never thought of it having a negative impact other than you just being a bit colder.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

It's has nothing to do with him training in cold weather with short sleeves and short these guys are super athletes thier body already got use to it.

The problem with Tierney it's because since young age he had few injuries and operations i hope by not over working him he'll get better
