By that logic Danny McGrain wasn't Scotland's best right back |

Tierney's goals and assists stats are better than Robertson |

Just out of interest, are you one of those who complains about the standard of Scottish football? |

There is also every chance Robertson will be second choice full back and not in the 18 pretty soon, which is the way he started the season. If Liverpool fancied upgrading there, then lets face it, they've got the money to do so. Even Lee Naylor had a honeymoon period. Football fans are notoriously fickle and Liverpool fans can be among the worst. It will only take a couple of high profile defensive errors, the weakest part of his game, to start the doubts. Robertson has taken his chance brilliantly and deserves the plaudits, but lets face it, his reputation will be forged over 100-150 Liverpool games, not the 21 he's played to date. Tierney could go to Man United and be a spare part like Luke Shaw and a dozen other players. He'd probably have a nice matt black Maserati to drive around in though, which is clearly what it is all about. Edited by Forza, 29 Mar 2018, 12:48 PM.

Edson Braafheid played in a World Cup final and he's the worst left back I've ever seen. Robertson is a good player - he's quick, hardworking and has a decent delivery. But Tierney is a more complete player and a far better defender. And he's three years younger. |

RObertson is a bit quicker, I dont find his final ball that good at all. Very inconsistent. |

Agree with that, Robertson's final ball is hit and miss. He has a decent cross on him but KT is better at picking out late runners with a pass rather than a floated cross (which to be fair he hasn't done as much of this season compared to last). |

Braafheid, presumably, was the best left back Holland had available at international level where there’s no transfer market. Jurgen Klopp has an extensive transfer budget to search for left backs anywhere in the world and chose Robertson. Almost a year later, you won’t find any Liverpool fan arguing with that decision because, as far as they’re concerned, he’s solved their long-running left back problem. Will that still be the case next year? Who knows. But Robertson is getting better and better all the time at the moment and playing at the absolute highest level of football imaginable - the knockout rounds of the Champions League. Tierney is a terrific player too, and he’s hopefully someone whose ambitions can be met by staying at Celtic. |

My point is simply that playing at a particular stage of a particular competition on a particular occasion is not an indicator of a player's quality. Here's an example that closer to home for Liverpool: Djimi Traore. Played a Champions League final FFS. They are both good players. KT is better and younger. |

Mibbe oversimplifying but they both seem to have a "preferred" cross that they revert to. Robertson's is played from the corner of the box (or deeper) and picks out someone at the back post while KT seems to hit the byline and cut it back for a later runner. Both good players - it's a pity one of them isn't naturally right footed. By one of them I mean Robertson

Dembele at Aberdeen, Griffiths in Anderlecht. Tierney has both in his locker. I'm not sure Robertson does, he seems to lose composure in the final third ( and indeed in the defensive third) he's a good player and probably more athletic than KT. |

Him and Brendan will be off after 10 I reckon. Then in comes Malky McKay and Barry Douglas and we can begin the dreaded comedown. |

Lets see the assist stats. Tierney is much better going forward than Robertson. EDIT - Shouldn't have jumped in before clicking the next page.

I think Tierney is a very good player, but also think some people go over the score with him. |
