Tierney’s time here is done. It’s just a case of whether we get a decent enough offer before the deadline.
Only inverted full backs need apply.

The fuck is an inverted full-back anyway? I keep hearing people say that. What the hell does that mean?
The new trend that has the fullback moving into midfield rather than getting up and down the line.Quote:

Basically an inverted full back comes into midfield to add more presence going forward, what they are meant to do defensively is bring a wide player inside and crowd him out rather than letting him get crosses in or get behind the defence.Quote:

Tierney wasn't even on the bench. He's done.Quote:

Very industrious and better in that role than the super generous Saka. Though why was Saza playing. there anyway. And where's Martinelli?
Very odd 15 minutes of football. Granted, the ref was a pillock and tipped the game, more through incompetence than being Durkin or Bennett I'd say. Still, a very panicked rearguard action against a woeful Palace. That bloke in front of goal with the perfect cross onto his head and the surefire equaliser? If I'd have done that in school I wouldn't have been allowed to play again.
Modern footballers are so shit.
In practice it means clogging up the midfield with too many players so we can't be sufficiently speedy in attack, whilst simultaneously abandoning the LB position to any half-decent opposition right-wingerQuote:

But I’d pick him over Zinchenko any day of the week, because he is a left sided fullback.
