To be expected with an ACL injury, it kept Van Dijk out for that longQuote:

It's just gutting as I thought he looked very solid.Quote:

May have been because the ligament was going but he was rubbish against ForestQuote:

Yeah, feel the same way.Quote:

Apart from him giving the ball away under no pressure and the defence allowed a headed ball to put Johnson clean throughQuote:

I would definitely keep Tierney now.
There must be some kind of insurance in place after paying £40m for a player and they are fucked for a whole season? And may never be the same.Quote:

Curse of football. Bobby Pires v Newcastle. Bastard injury.
Shame. Hell of a footballer Timber.
Yes, we will need to replace him as Tomi, Tierney and Tavares are not top top quality.
We need a striker too. Up to the club to get rid of one of Balogun or Eddie, and Tierney is a safe bet for moving on.
Never the same KT since he got injured early doors. He’s a chugger though lads, not a top tier inverted fullback (even if that is only a fad). He’s a traditional fullback…unless we’re aiming to play with a traditional back four, he’s surplus to requirements. Was shocking when he came on v City
