Texas Pete Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 23 minutes ago, Taylor1996 said: No. He linked an article of how Arteta used Tierney in a back three. JECK them commented, in depth, on 3-5-2. I was replying to those posts. Do you just ignore everyone else's posts and just focus on mine? Skybluescot brought up the formation thing, when he linked the article. Turnbull should be in the squad. Period. If Billy Gilmour was fit and firing, he'd be in the under 21 squad. Wow, you are very much about the establishment, aren't you? That's like saying "Boris Johnson is the PM, so he knows better than everyone who isn't" 🤦♂️ I couldn’t give a shit about the other people that mentioned the formation as I think that conversation has been done to death. I didn’t comment on the fact you mentioned 3-5-2. I was commenting on the fact that you were congratulating yourself on suggesting it 2 years ago. Am I typing in Swahili here or something? I don’t think my point is that difficult to grasp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porteous isnt that great but we arent exactly blessed with talent in defence I haven’t seen much of Ferguson but I have heard he can be a bit inconsistent. I don’t think he or McCrorie will be in the squad in the near future unless we have an injury crisis. Porteous on the other hand will probably get his chance sooner rather than later. Like you say, he’s not great (yet anyway - you never know what can happen when a defender matures) but if Cooper and/or McKenna get injured as they are prone to do we don’t have many other CBs to chose from.

Ferguson was a bigger asset to aberdeen than mckenna last season. Mckenna is looking slightly better this season but i still see ferguson as the one to make aberdeen money.

Taylor1996 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 ON TOPIC: A day late: Kieran Tierney was solid yesterday. Arsenal are buying a center back, initially I thought that meant that Arsenel would switch to a back four, but maybe not, as Luiz can't play in a back four. The Community Shield winner's medal is worth more than all of his medal haul for Celtic.. Combined. As for Andrew Robertson, he was the only Liverpool player that was switched on. His team-mates looked like they were still on holiday. ON TOPIC: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves the benefit of the doubt, as well as McBurnie, a player who always turned up for the under 21's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
