Good idea to play Tierney at centre half. He's getting bigger all the time. Didn't Ajax have players moving position so that their total football would function well? He's played there for Scotland and also at right back. Midfielders and forwards are often changing role so no reason why someone like Tierney shouldn't. Never know, he might be an even better centre half than left back.
Yes Ned, I think he will be our center half sooner rather than later. :thumbsup:
He’ll continue to blossom at left back and we would lose a big threat going forward if he was played at centre half. That area of the team needs strengthened but hopefully not at the expense of moving one of the best left backs in the game out of his best position.
Agreed.

Left of back three or LB are not so different. I would agree that he should not be CB in a back four. When you play a three the left and right CB's are key to attacking and one of the most important positions. Azpilicueta plays that position for Chelsea and is one of their most influential attacking players.

We will just have to wait and see I suppose but he is more than capable of playing both positions in my opinion.

Euan Henderson was good. Could do with being stronger and faster, but he's just turned 18 so that'll probably improve. Very good on the ball, more skillful than his brother.

Hayes looks like he's fully recovered and back to his best. Think he's better on the left wing where his crossing is more of a threat.

I'm still holding out hope for Christie making it with us, but he's a kinda weird player to judge. He's got a lot of good qualities but he seems like one of those players who's not quite suited a particular role. He's too high up and not involved enough as a number 10, but he's not a striker or a wide player either. Unflattering comparison, but it's the same problem Josh Windass has at sevco.

Morgan is quality. Remains to be seen how good exactly but he definitely looks like a 1st team players rather than a project.

On the topic of KT in the back 3, I highly recommend this video about Kyle Walker playing there for England.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34ONabfjsCs

Almost word for word it could be applied to KT, but on the left side of the pitch.

Southgate also said this of Walker, which again I think could easily apply to KT: “He has the attributes to play the position really well. You need players that are comfortable at defending in wide areas and used to using the ball in those areas. He’s a fantastic athlete, so he added more pace to our defence."

Completely understand the concern over losing what he brings from a left-wing-back position though. His ability to get up and down that flank and delivery would be difficult to replace - we've all seen what a problem not having this on the right side has been.
thought of walker and those comments as well. good shout

The Wembley Cup :lol: What a trip that was ! On the topic, all the rumours regarding friendlies down south have dried up which is disappointing, also unsure if there is any space in the fixtures to accommodate another friendly

I said it during the last game and I'll say it again, we look really sharp considering how early it is in the pre-season.
