I think he has the potential to be a great player but he's been poor this season.

Similar to Sinclair (but nowhere near as bad), he doesn't seem to be as bold in attacking players at the moment and does often just look inside/back towards the centre halves for a simple pass but then runs back the way in the direction of the player he's just passed to.

Watch top quality full backs and they will give and go, constantly.
Kieran Tierney is a player, a bloody fantastic player who gives everything for the club.
Any perceived dip in form is due to his reluctance at times to pass the ball forward is that he doesn't trust the
clown playing in front of him, and let's face it, who can blame him.

Simple as.
Not that he's looking likely to get it.

Yeah I mean that is fair!

I'm looking forward to Roberts and Rogic being fit and then we can potentially drop said clown in front of him :lol:

I think a lot of the blame has to be placed on the form of Sinclair.

They complimented each other last season and made each other look quality.

To me, the so-called 'dip in form' has come from Sinclair's hesitancy in play seemingly due to a lack of confidence.

Add that into the amount of games he has played you're bound not to get the same results as last season.

He's not had a poor season, just not a great one.

Absolute crap. He's not been poor over the season, some games yes he's not been up to high standards but generally he's been fine.

He's just had one.

He's fine, the problem is the standard he's set over the past 2 seasons, even for a player of KT's ability it wasn't going to be easy to match them.

Sinclair is still our top scorer and is a bloody good player who we are lucky to have playing for us.

It is not, Sinclair's fault that KT has under performed.

You could say the same of every player in the team.

Sinclair, has 17 goals and 15 assists. He could argue that he has not played as well as Moussa and Leigh have not been as good this term.

We are lucky to have him but he has been a shell of the player he was last season.

Please elaborate on your bollocks as to how Scott Sinclair is a "clown" and how you know Kieran doesn't trust said clown?

Not been at his best. Fatigue likely a factor. Should have signed cover.

He needs to get better when he's on the ball. Far too predictable. It's actually painful to watch at times when he turns back and plays it into the centre halves.

Didn't think he was at fault for the goal yesterday though.
See this pish, it's getting right on ma nipple ends.

If players are going forward, as Tierney is often doing, and see no option - they will look, judge the possibilities of the perceived pass and calculate the odds of it getting to its intended recipient. If the odds are too long, they'll stop and play a safer pass. If they didn't do this the manager would have them off the pitch in minutes, COS THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE effING TOLD TO DO!
You clearly have never seen KT play.

EDIT

And its the pish like your post that is getting on my tits. Any sort of suggestion that a young player needs to work on his game baulked at because he's Celtic through and through. People compared him to Danny McGrain ffs. He goes back more than he goes forward and it's because of his inability to use his right foot - nothing else. Opposition players just show him inside when he's deep and then press our CBs. Lustig gets absolutely slaughtered for it and KT is just as bad.

i think we are very fortunate to have developed a player of Kierans calibre, i genuinelly think he could eventually be world class, not many world class players now at the age of 28/29 had the exposure and game time under their belt Kirean has had at his age. If continues to develop and play at a high standard Kieran could relaise his obvious potential. Reading some of the posts, i agree with many differing points, Kieran is predominately left footed and coupled with Rodgers ideology of going back to preserve posession instead of taking on a risky pass i can see why it can seem very negative, i think thats instruction not necessarily player mentality. Also Sinclair cuts in and can be double marked alot leaving kieran with no pass on , so its pass back or sprint to bye line.

First touch could certainly be improved upon too.
