Thought he looked nervous at the beginning but grew into the first half. Second half didn't get forward as much but not his fault given the circumstances.

Fairly standard performance really. Solid enough.

Wasn't great, but lots of expectation on him after last season. Needs a trick or 2 in his locker as he's quite easy to read going forward.

Saying that, he should have had 1 assist, after Sinclair slaffed his cut back!

I thought the wing backs defended well one on one, particularly against Forrest. Tierney got past his man one or twice in the first half.

His crossing is more dangerous though I think.

Every cross he puts in I think back to Griffs header against Aberdeen :lol:

First time I've seen Kieron Tierney in the flesh having come home for my first game at Parkhead in over a year.

What I was impressed with was his movement. Defensively his positioning is first class, he reads the game so well and knows exactly where to be. I even noticed him signalling Sinclair to take up certain positions (who was also excellent tracking back last night). Once opponents do get down his side he has the energy to close off any space and give them no time on the ball. It's no coincidence they pretty much got no attack at all started down our left.

He could have done more with the ball, but his defensive performance was flawless.

Right now, he's a carbon copy of Jackie McNamara. Arrive on the scene with a big splash, quickly assume the mantle of golden boy, gathering a claque of fans who can see no fault in him. In reality, short on pace, awful positioning and relies on the wild sliding challenge to get him out of bother. 'Get it up ye!' roars a delighted crowd. 'Get aff' says the European referee who couldn't give a feck if he got the ball or not because he's been told to stamp out the sort of violent challenges that send the CL's most marketable 'superstars' to the treatment room. O'Connell's the same. Begs the question do our youth coaches ever watch the CL or read the refereeing directives?
"Wild sliding challenge" "violent challenges" :lmao:
I must have missed all these so can you fill me in on when they actually happened?
I'll surmise these "violent challenges" warranted a red card, do you know how many Teirney has had? How about how many yellows?
As for your comment about the youth coaches, maybe you should watch a youth game or two before talking absolute pish :thumbsup:

I must have been at a different game tonight - I thought he was excellent - he had a couple of dodgy moments, but over all I thought he did exactly what he was supposed to - the new Danny McGrain - enjoy him whilst we have him, the EPL will come calling very soon and make him a life changing offer
I admire your enthusiasm for young Tierney, but, based on your comments, I'd be surprised if you actually ever saw Danny McGrain.

Thought he did okay last night.

Was up against a good player - was it Bitton or something? Also managed forward, got that decent shot away and a few good crosses.

Thought he was patchy tonight. A few very poor decisions, which is unlike him.

It's easy to forget he's still a kid but he looked like one tonight.
I'd agree with that.

Very easy to forget that he turned 19 a little over 2 months ago.

So in one thread you say the best prospect we have is pish, in another you compared Callum McGregor' passing last night to Lubo. Sound :lol: .

And another thing - do you seriously reckon that our professional youth coaches know less about the game than you? Do you seriously think they can't spot these weaknesses, and that only hawk eyes like yours can? Get over yourself ffs.

Was it him Brendan was referring to when he said that we were swapping positions at the back when we shouldn't have been and that's why we lost the first goal?

wasn't his best game last night, but think that's because we've gotten used to near perfect performances from him. these games will only help his development, too

I thought there was a few times last night that he had the opportunity to win the ball with one of trademark crunching tackles, when their player was one on one with him. But he was holding back a bit.

As has been said though, he never hid or shirked his reponsibilities to the team.

I can't wait to see his partnership with Scott Sinclair bloom. When they fully develop an understanding together i think we're going to be delighted. :clap:

Bit baffled at the criticism here. Thought he was fine last night and for a young guy he doesn't ever seem to panic on the ball. Solid, can cross from deep but loves getting to the by-line for a cut back and judges his tackles really well when going to ground. He also has no cover from Sinclair.

He will only improve and its great to see one of our own products developing like this.

Same here. Thought he did well enough up against some very strong, physical opposition.

He's not the second coming of anyone, but he's got talent and a level head, and he'll run at opposing players all day.

Second european game he`s payed less than 100% fit this season and still looks comfortably better than the majority of left backs we`ve had in my time. He was solid enough with very little coming down his side bar one occasion.

Does enough in support going forward, we don`t need Alves, Cafu or Carlos going forward at full back when we have quality wide players like Sinclair and Roberts. Looks to have a decent understanding with Sinclair already but as has been pointed out will be left more exposed in a 4 3 3 when Sinclair goes inside or through the middle. We`ll learn to cope with that as a team. There`s measured criticism and there`s outright cynical bawbaggery in judging a young players performance and one of the posts on here is the latter.
