mccaughey85 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Alot of ppl turned their noses up at him going to burnley, my self included but he would probably be getting played every week there instead of not even getting on the bench at Liverpool.

You can’t turn down signing for a club like Liverpool. If it doesn’t work out then so be it but he’d have had regrets for the rest of his life if he had turned them down.

Yeah but unless he’s got some serious fortune telling skills he wasn’t to know he’d be in this position. He’s obviously got confidence in his own ability and will still believe he can break into the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wee-toon-red Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 No way could Robertson turn Liverpool down in favour of Burnely. Even if it doesn't work out for him there, and it's still relatively early days, then he'll still get a move to a club at Burnley's level when he leaves Anfield. From what I've read about Robertson I'd imagine he's the type of guy who will know what Klopp wants from him and will be knocking his pan in trying to develop whatever the shortcomings may be. On that basis, I wouldn't be surprised to see him force his way into the team and stay there once he gets there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girvanTA Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 451 Tierney left back and Robertson left midfield. Accomodate both players down the left. Plenty of pace and attacking threat down that side , have Paterson and Burke down the right too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccaughey85 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Tierney has been good enough at right back. This myth that he hasn't been playing well at rb has grown arms and legs on here. He would still be my first choice right back as he does the fundamentals of defending well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierney outstanding at LB and should be playing in that position for us. Not sure what to do with Robertson though.... For most of the 1970s we had two exceptional right backs, Sandy Jardine and Danny McGrain. One of those - McGrain - was world class and that's not a phrase I use lightly. Our options at left back were much more limited and fortunately the world class right back was capable of playing on the left and so McGrain played there and didn't look out of place. I'm not for one second saying that Tierney and Robertson are as good as McGrain and Jardine were - they are not - but the situations are comparable. There are two questions. Firstly, is Tierney a better option at right back than the other alternatives available - currently I would say Yes. Secondly, is the trade off of lessening Tierney's effectiveness by playing him out of position outweighed by having a more balanced and stronger midfield. That's a more difficult question and I'd say you would look at on a game by game basis, ie, if you were playing opponents who had a strong right attacking right side, you might want to play Tierney at left back to counter that.

Personally I thought he played ok in that match. Didn't exactly have that bad a game considering they barely had any chances on goal. At the end of the day Tierney imo is better at right back than our other options so for me he should continue there unless we play three at the back then he can play at CB.
