ahemps Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Knowing Tierneys record, can he play 3 * 90 minute games in 9 days? Does he need managed through these games? I would hope he could and depending on how it goes he is then off for a rest in the summer but I would worry if we are on 1pt going in to the Hungary game and Tierney is out injured. According to flashscore he hasn't played back to back 90 minutes since December, hasn't played 90 minutes since March. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Algebraist Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Please do not bump the Kieran Tierney thread. Every time somebody does I get the fear someone has dropped him. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to flashscore he hasn't played back to back 90 minutes since December, hasn't played 90 minutes since March. From the 5 qualifiers that he was fit for he only played the 90 in 2 of them - both against Cyprus, which if you want to read into it you could point to the lower intensity of those games. At home to Spain he played 75 mins. Away to Norway 65 mins. Home to Georgia 78 mins. I’d say there’s no chance he plays the 90 in all 3. And I’ll be surprised if he plays more than about 60 mins tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS_FFC Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 If we need to chase a goal in the last 15 minutes I’d imagine Tierney would be the guy taken off so we can switch to 4-3-3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's important to how we play, he doesn't need minutes in his legs per se. McKenna (or if he's fit Cooper) can easily play the left sided centre back role. I'd also sit Robertson, McGinn and Adams in the stand too to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has played a lot of games this season and will likely play every minute of the tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoP Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Any updates on his injury from last night? Saw the pics of him walking down the tunnel and wondered if there’d be any chance of a quicker recovery 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Algebraist Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I was well pissed off with the camera last night. No-one needed to see close ups of the lad in tears being stretchered off. Glad to hear he walked down the tunnel. The actual incident didn't look like much to me, one that would hurt a lot but not necessarily cause a tear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is impossible to tell if the injury would have happened anyway but Tierney can't play a lot of football now. It is sad for him but its pretty clear going by his record he can't do it. Why he played the full 90 in both friendly's was bizarre. He should have played 60 minutes v Finland and managed his time so he could play a role in every game in the group stage. I agree with the others too, McGinn, Adams and Robertson have not been at their best. Robertson has been fine but that is all, Adams put in a shift last night but McGinn doesn't look his usual self. I would ask, did we really prepare properly for the tournament in getting every one coming in refreshed and ready? The evidence so far suggests not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't think it was necessary, we don't normally do weird zoom ins on injured players. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameras follow injured and stretchered off players all the time unless it's a Christian Eriksen scenario and someone is fighting for their life. I can't say I was hugely affected by Tierney crying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a window to secure his next move - now it’s likely he’s going to spend the next two months rehabbing before spending the first month of the year in Arsenal’s reserves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) Quite bad for Arsenal and potentially KT in the sense of being an attractive proposition given his continuing injury troubles. I think his career s in a bit of a tricky spot unfortunately. As I understand it he can get back to 'full fitness', but his knee issue can't be corrected and so can just go again at any time.
