He played against the best in Europe over a period of years. Even domestically the level of player he was up against every week was much higher, guys playing in teams that regularly got to the later stages of European competitions. Obviously the game has changed a lot in the 40 years since, but of that era, Danny was one who could easily adapt to the modern game with no tackling from behind, passbacks etc. Many defenders from that era would struggle today. |

He's not got enough of a trick to be a winger and his ball rentention isn't great. I predict he'll pretty much always play left back/wing back. |

His delivery from attacking positions is exceptionally good What you are saying is actually more of a problem for a full back |

Agreed. It's when he has the ball in a deep position under pressure that he struggles. Part of that is due to a lack of options and part is due to a lack of composure (which will hopefully come with time). |

Yep - His delivery into the box is very good - Not so good from LB but equally not any worse than Lustig/the dearly departed Janko on the other side - I think/hope they will work with Kieran on dropping the ball in behind the opposition defenders now that Sinclair is here. |

He's never a winger. He's an excellent defender, and good defensive left backs are hard to find. His attacking play is generally pretty good though. |

Not a winger for me but he could play left midfield no bother. |

He's not a good enough passer for that position imo. |

Andy Robertson did. Tierneys better than Robertson at the same age. |

He was a winger originally, wasn't he? The coaching staff must have had their reasons for moving him back. |

If his passing ever gets to their level he'll be doing well. |

He was, I think it was Lennon that moved him to LB, a 3-3 draw at Fir Park?

According to OPTA he`s got 11 assists in 45 games, not bad for a 19 year old full back. He obviously is accurate where it matters, he could do with a Joe Ledley inside as he rarely has anyone available for the quick pass and return to his right. Izzy in his POTY season quite rightly singled out Joe for his contribution to his very good season. |

His cut backs along the deck from the wing are superb. So much better than just whipping it in and hoping for the best. |

Was he genuinely a winger or a very attacking full back? He doesn't appear to have the pace or trickery to be a winger but his crossing is excellent right enough. He seems perfectly suited to play LB for us. He seems an excellent tackler - too good at that to ever have been a winger if you ask me. |

I think when tierney gets into an attacking position he is excellent.. I think he consistently puts the ball into great areas in the box. |

Nope, it was one of the final games of Deila's first season. 1-1 draw away to St Johnstone iirc |

Every week.
Or that the level of those guys is the level McGrain himself played at?
