Robbo is a great backup to Tierney
None of the others come close to them

@JimWhite @kierantierney1 @Arsenal @andrewrobertso5 @LFC @premierleague Robertson by a country mile. Followed by Chilwell, Digne, Reguillon, Shaw and many others. One good game vs West Brom doesnāt propel you to ābest left back in the leagueā status. Sure, heās certainly got what it takes but he needs to perform consistently at that level.

Robertson hasnāt been as good as in previous seasons and as for āmany others,ā being better and āone good game against West Brom,ā thatās nonsense.
Tierney has been our most consistent player and his performances have only been spoiled by being surrounded by a team in poor form.

Tbf heās been rinsed in a couple of games. Wolves wasnāt great but he never hides.

Oh No?
We love it when it snows here haha the country goes nuts for it 
Finally some proper proper captain material. Canāt wait to see the armband on his hand and to finally have a proper captain. After fucking Adams I guessā¦ None after were true captain material in my eyes (yes, not even Vieira if Iām totally honest).
Although I think it may be a bit too early to give him the capitancy after his first proper season here. Maybe next year. 
Letās hope we donāt fuck up with his contract renewal the way we did with Ashley.
You want to captain him after one good game?

I think youāve had one too many drinky-poos.
Thereās NO WAY Tierney makes a better captain than Vieira.

Probably something to do with English-speaking captains.
Itās why Keane was kinda overrated as captain of Manchester United too. He was effectively forced out by the end of his tenure.
I really want to but yeah we just have to wait a couple of season.
He has all the qualities of a proper captain.
Not really. I felt he was captain material before we even signed himā¦ Looking at the clips and reading Celtic fans comments. And he just proved everything was true since his first game here.
As I said, I think itās still probably to early to put that burden on him, I wouldnāt do that, although looking at the current squad he could be the captain easily. If he stays at the club and stays fit heās the future captain obviously.
He was some kind of leader on the pitch, a brilliant presence on the pitch to haveā¦ But idk, always felt some spark in his eyes, like he puts his career in front of the club. And that was true.
Henry alsoā¦ I said earlier, no other player, I saw, played with the same amount passion for this clubā¦ but still, as a character I just didnāt see him as an ideal captain material. We could go long about this.

1 good game all season lol, he has had a couple of poor games but the majority have been good with a few excellent.
If we have one positive out of the season itās probably the our best 3 players have been Tierney, Gabriel and Saka who are 23, 22 & 19.
Iām not sure if heās the best LB in the league yet, but I meant what I said yesterday at his age and potential growth to come I wouldnāt swap him for any LB in the league.

Iām the same in thinking hes one of our best players.
But hes no where near Robertson yet, that guy has been tearing the league and champions league up for like 3 years now. Its a non-contest currently.

Yeah Robbo is great and has numerous runs on the board I canāt disagree with that.
I just think given Tierneyās age he has a lot more growth as a player to come, hopefully Iām not wrong.

No way, he was captain from 97-03 and 34 when he was forced out even then it was because he made Ferguson shit himself. Gary Neville said everyone worked harder in training because of how hard Keane worked. Keane got down to a ridiculously low body fat and both of them claim they won the most because they worked the hardest in training

Keane was probably the best and the most influential captain I saw. A huge presence on the pitch. Apparently off it too.
Absolutely hated him when he was at United and felt huge relief when it was clear he was about to leave.
Keane was awesome, Iāll agreeā¦But for me Tony Adams was the BEST captain I have ever seenā¦He came to it as a very young man, and was extremely influential straight awayā¦He came into a team which had many experienced players, and took over immediatelyā¦Very very impressiveā¦
Bobby Moore was a great captain, but he had the backing of his players because of what he was, but Tony was new to everybody, and he was in charge from the first minuteā¦That takes some doingā¦
