Would agree with this. He looked worse than he was imo because he was clearly concerned with Mbappe who was playing in the half space, which meant Alves had room to roam out wide. Sinclair wasn't brilliant at tracking back early on. |

He didn't play in all the CL games last year so he is still relatively inexperienced at this level, regardless of his potential. Last year was also his first season in a well functioning team, it should be another season or two of CL football before he can really be judged at this level. If we had a player coming through the Youth system who could easily step up from a game v SPL clubs like Hamilton to the Barcelona's/PSG's we would struggle to keep them. Even our best players can struggle against these blockbuster sides. |

Still learning and has a helluva lot more to do yet. Patience as always with young players is key. |

Players will get roasted off M'Bappe. Better players than Tierney. The biggest worry in Europe for him remains his horrible lack of composure on the ball. For a left footer he never seems to open his body up with his first touch on to his stronger foot either, always takes a touch back. |

He wasn't the best full back in world football at 20 years old. That was my point. He grew to become that. I think KT could become world class. I'll keep thinking that until he proves me right or wrong if that's all the same with you. |

Notwithstanding the first 20 or so minutes I thought he equipped himself reasonably well defensively against what may be the finest right flank in football. Mbappe & Alves will torment better full backs than Tierney this season. Like many of his previous games in Europe though, his lack of composure in possession was apparent. His use of the ball in the final third is normally excellent but elsewhere on the pitch he really struggles at this level to do much beyond hoofing it. The composure and technique shown by Alves last night was exceptional and serves as a stark reminder as to how far Tierney still has to go to reach that level. |

He needs to stop more crosses. Great tackling his man down the line but when they are in a crossing position he stands off. Happened for the second goal last night and it happens a lot domestically as well but they don't have the same quality obviously. |

He struggled at times but when you have Mbappe and Dani Alves doubling up on you you're bound to struggle. |

He defends quite narrowly at times. I wonder if it's instinct or instruction |

He was on a hiding to nothing in that first half. Sinclair got sucked infield too often and left KT against Alves and Mbappe. Alves gets some pelters on here but he remains one of the best wing backs in the game at 34. |

He's an absolutely incredible athlete, Alves. I thought Tierney had a tough nite but wasn't the worst. As you say he was essentially having to deal with two world class players. He had to let Alves go a bit and trust the CBs can deal with the crosses. He does get an easy time of it on here a lot of the time but he's earned that a bit. |

yep. He's going to get a few roastings at this level and I accept that. Games like Tuesday are another great learning experience for him. Mbappe will make better and more expensive players than KT look like mugs over the next few years. |

Thought he did very well given A) what he & team were up against and B) given very little support from Brown & Sinclair |

Exactly. Probably poorest Ive seen him but he is young and up against the two best players in their position in Europe. KT will go on to become the player we all know he will be and our captain for years. Edited by littlegmbhoy, 14 Sep 2017, 11:46 AM.

And he got away from Tierney regularly. One noticeable thing about those highlights was how off the pace our middle 2 Brown and Ntcham were. |
