Kieran Tierney: Top Tier

[MaraDon]

Ligue 1 doesn't count unless we are discrediting a current player in the squad.

with Tierney leaving, he will probably get an opportunity next season, Unless he fell out of flavour with Mikel.

A-M acknowledging Tierney is an injury prone, technically inadept player (for Artetaboll) on 100k a week and has to leave the club, but has their blessing:

A-M if Tierney was a Mali international:

Gross.

Gone in the summer. Doesn't fit this team anymore. Best of luck to him

Villa.
Unai was the one pushing for him.

Agreed.

Saliba has proven that the perception of player/club relationships can be overblown. Atleast Tavares has put himself in a position where selling or keeping both look like decent options.

Don't forget this is a player Arteta took out of a game after 30 minutes, so there is probably more behind the scenes.

He'll definitely choose newcastle given the choice I think

It’s not been the same for him since Tesco bags went from 5 to 20p

KT injured again?

 

[ArsenalInMyHeart]

KT injured again?

i think so

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

KT injured again?

Nothing confirmed what is it if its injury or illness but look he won't be playing tomorrow

 

[BergMan]

Unwell apparently, so illness not injury.

 

[Tell.]

It's not looking good bruv.

I thought Tierney looked really good today. He hasn't been getting much playing time this season, but I'm not sure if that means that he's leaving this summer.

My theory is that Tierney had to learn how to play as an inverted fullback, and that process takes time. Subbing in Tierney for Zinchenko should not require that we change tactics, so Tierney had to learn how to play as an inverted fullback.

Today, when he came on he inverted, but still was able to overlap and send in his crosses. He looked more assured technically and positionally, and this is a great sign for his development.

Next season when we're in the Champions League, we will need to rotate our squad a lot more often, so having both Tierney and Zinchenko as inverted fullback options will be great for us.

I think it’s more of a case of putting him in the shop window a bit tbh.

You don’t bench him for most of the season and play Tomi out of position ahead of him if you really want him to stay at the club and learn how to play as an inverted fb. If you were Tierney would you actually trust Arteta to play you even with a lot of games?

Tierney deserves better fanbase then the inbreeding that come on here

 

[Iwobeast]

looked great today, we need him for the final stretch

I don’t think the majority have been harsh on Tierney. He’s a solid left back, he just doesn’t offer what Zinchenko does. Just about no left backs do. That’s not a knock on Tierney. But Zinchenko plays when fit, he’s a huge part of Arteta’s unconventional, but successful tactics.

he is hated on here, hope he scores a own goal. **** this fansbase who have shat on him since he joined

Is it the fanbase? Arteta replaced him with Zinchenko so the club also thought he is not what we need
