The 348th goal conceded was at one of the games Dempele couldn't be bothered going to Dinner. It's no really lol
Me going to a game or no won't improve Tierney first touch.

Of course, long way to go but I just think there's something special about him. His attitude as much as his talent will make him one of the best in his position. I dont think any of those were anywhere near KT's level, the last YT player I really thought would be top class was Kennedy, he made it look easy.
so you don't think any of them were near KT's potential but Kennedy was. You obviously never saw Brian McLauchlin ( sp?)then. He was special but got a career threatening injury and never fully recovered, in much the same way as Ian Durrant. Aiden McGeady for a while looked like he might go all the way to the top, as did Shaun Maloney, but neither really pushed on from Celtic. That's why it's so hard to predict what happens to a young guy like KT. hHe has a lot going for him at the moment, so let's hope he continues to progress. World Class? nah, not even close for now. You're seriously comparing Kennedy and wee Brian McLaughlin? effing hell Kennedy was a superb prospect, McLaughlin never was.
I agree, McGeady and Maloney looked superb too but at KT's age neither were close. I think he will be world class, I've no doubt about it, if you don't then so be it.

Of course it has and he trained with Jinky and Lennox every day but KT by that age has loads of European experience already and has played well against some very good sides. His potential is huge. That's not true at all, not all world class youngsters are hoovered up by Chelsea and Juve by age 20. I've never heard of him, you think he's better than KT? I never mentioned Alves, but I agree. Like Izzy he got stick over his defending because he was out of position often, because their attacking play was a huge part of how their teams lined up.
How many Real Madrid fans do you think have heard of Kieran Tierney, or know anything about him? They paid 24m for him. It is true. Players hit their peak much earlier than they used to. Maybe there is still some players who will break the mould but if you've played over 100 games and that talent was as obvious as you are suggesting then he'd have been signed up by someone by now. The question is - how many of those European games has Tierney played well in? ICGAF, I live in Spain and I know that their interest in Scottish football is zero, what's your point? To be potentially world class is to be recognised by a horrible but rich football club with massively entitled fans?
Even if they do KT is still way off his peak.
City, Anderlecht, Bayern, not much admittedly but still plenty for someone his age to have shown he has huge potential.

Would love it if we sang "Kieran Tierney, Kieran Tierney..." over and over to the tune of Panic by The Smiths. The "hang the DJ" part, any one else?
Actually works really well Bump.....100%. Definitely.

Can't be easy coming back from an injury on that calamity of a pitch, but the amount of back passes from him today was absolutely unreal. Hope today freshened him up and we see him back to his best, bombing forward against the huns.

Thought he was quite direct in the first half but obviously less so in the second half when he changed position.

Just because you haven't heard of him doesn't mean he isn't better than KT.
I thought he was okay today. Starting to become a bit predictable in his play going forward though.

I'm a fan of KT. I think saying that he wasn't great today is much better than lying to yourself and pretending he put in a 9/10 performance.

I don't see Moussa in the top 3 - unless you have just posted.

Solid performance from KT today on his return from injury. Will have blown out any cobwebs before the cup game next week.

Tierney put in a solid shift today but imo is hampered by this change in fornation. He is starting too high up the pitch most games so can't hit the overlap of Sinclair at pace. Although Tierney is very sharpe at accelerating from a standing start it has become all a bit same old thing time after time. Teams are now sitting in so deep they can double and even treble up on him and Sinclair. It is starving our strikers of decent suply from the left hand side.

I swear if Brown wasn't playing he's still be on some folks' list.

Teams are now sitting in so deep they can double and even treble up on him and Sinclair. It is starving our strikers of decent suply from the left hand side. They’re both occupying the same roughly 15x10 area of space and we’re getting the best of neither. It worked quite well when it was a surprise but if Sinclair is playing you know we’re going with that slightly lopsided formation and teams know how to counter it, it’s also so congested in the middle that the odd time Sinclair moves inside there’s no space there either.
