Passing and crossing are terrible 37 assists in 170 matches for Liverpool. Maybe it’s the movement of the attackers that are the problem? Could be wrong. Every Scotland game we get the same boring old comparisons between the two like 10 year old Twitterites arguing over Ronaldo and Messi. Draw against Austria is a great result, both players are top quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and McTominay are the 2 class acts in the Scotland team. Edited March 25, 2021 by dumpweed 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I dont think having the armband does him any favours , I felt he played better for Scotland when he wasn't captain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong but I thought he had been mediocre for Liverpool this season? I think Tierney is a better defender but Arsenal tactics don’t involve him getting forward as much as Robertson. When he does he is very effective, just that he doesn’t do it as often as Robertson does for Liverpool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Arsenal games that I've watched I thought he plays an almost identical role as Robertson, except Tierney does it better. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does what better? Going by you’re original comment on distribution and crossing one is on 5 assists in the league the other is on 2. The one with more assists isn’t Kieran Tierney. KT is 4 years younger and will only get better. Do I think he’ll turn out better than Robertson? Absolutely. To say he’s better right now is ridiculous. Baring in mind one of them was released from Celtic at a young age, worked in Tesco then went on to win the two biggest trophies in club football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike you I have no Liverpool axe to grind, in fact my English team is Spurs so there is no reason to prefer an Arsenal player over a Liverpool one. I don't care what Robertson has done, working in Tesco has zero bearing on how good a player he is now. (I think it was actually M&S he worked in) Given a choice between the two I would pick Tierney over Robertson because I think he is the better all round footballer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just counter arguing your opinion that Robertson has terrible crossing and distribution. If anything it’s his best attribute. Tierney has better defensive awareness IMO. Maybe it’s just a matter of Robertson suiting Liverpool’s style more than Arsenals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His distribution for Scotland is poor. You can quote league figures for assists all you want but that counts for nothing when we are talking about international football. Also Tierney has 4 assists in 32 games this season and scored 2 goals https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kieran-tierney/leistungsdaten/spieler/300716 Robertson has 5 in 39 and zero goals https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andrew-robertson/leistungsdaten/spieler/234803 So they are not too far apart for their clubs. But you have to factor in Tierney is played out of position for Scotland too and does a good job. That for me makes him a better footballer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killie billies pal Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Robertson is a one trick pony , he will be sussed out early by any decent international coach. I would go as far to say he is no longer in the top 5 left backs in the EPL now . -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
