This is a boy that got so homesick when he moved to London he moved a random Scottish lodger in with him. Not picking on @Scotty Tunbridge but clicked to open the thread at my last unread post and this was the post it landed on The whole Tierney scenario seems really odd to me, he’s clearly a very good player but Arteta probably just doesn’t fancy him. Tierney won’t be the first and won’t be the last to go through something like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierney won’t be the first and won’t be the last to go through something like this. Arteta weirdly seems to always have some kind of freeze going on with at least one player. When he first came in he did it to Pepe & Aubameyang, whom you might argue just weren’t good enough but still, you’d expect him to manage it better than freezing them out, yanking their value and forcing them to leave for almost nothing. Then it was Tierney last season, who seemed to be the perfect professional about it and all he did wrong was not be an inverted left back. Now he seems to be targeting Gabriel & Smith Rowe. Although Smith Rowe was injured a lot of last season, he was back a good bit before the end but Arteta didn’t try to reintegrate him back in and he’s not done anything so far this season. Gabriel is a real puzzle, one of their best defenders and they obviously miss having him in the team. I really think that Arteta is just a complete p***k tbh 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think that Arteta is just a complete p***k tbh That’s quite interesting, I don’t really pay much attention to anything outside the Scottish leagues if I’m honest. Surprised he’s freezing out Smith Rowe as I thought he was their next big thing (for the England team too) purely on what I’ve seen in the media/social media 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His joke may have been weak but your argument is rubbish I have absolutely no idea what your talking about Using one of 2 words isn't the same as splitting 1 word in half. That was my argument. If someone in Spain wants to call morton greenock, rangers the, and st mirren mirren. I would be ok with that, wouldn't give the smallest of shits.

MarkoRaj Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Is it not more of a failing of Arteta's not to be able to coach Tierney into being able to invert as a full back anyway? I mean considering Ange managed it with Anthony Ralston I don't think it should be beyond Tierney's abilities 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when Arteta tried using him as the inverted left back he wasn’t very good but then he only got a couple of games doing that. Not sure anyone is getting the hang of something new over 3 or 4 games. Anyway, very glad he is away and I hope he does well at Real Sociedad, good for Scotland if he gets regular games.

The Algebraist Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I think Arteta genuinely wanted him to stay just so he had the option of something different to close out games. Needed to look after him better than he did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierney also called them Sociedad in his introduction interview, they must despise him already… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
