Theroadlesstravelled Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Arteta will probably punt him in the summer. Arteta has mostly moved on Emery’s dud signings. Maybe KT could link up again with Emery at the Villa as back up to Digne. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dundeefc1783 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Despite Arsenal being on worst run of season and rumblings of Arteta not being happy with things he still can't get a game. Has only had 12 minutes of league football this year and has only completed 90 league minutes twice all season with last one being mid sept. And has only started 1 league match in 5 months. Is his position in the Scotland starting 11 in jeopardy? Unless we need him as central half I can't see him starting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll probably still start, still one of the best players we have even when rusty with no game time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fully fit Tierney yes I agree but we have Robertson and Taylor both playing regularly at LB. As it stands currently imo he should not be starting ahead of either of them. If we stick with 4 at the back I don't see where he plays at the moment in time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was playing regularly at LB for my local Sunday league team would you rather me start ahead of Tierney as well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 He's still 1st choice, they're just rotating him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Keirean Tierney could have one leg and an ear infection and he should still be starting before Greg Taylor. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 You could pump Greg Taylor full of Nandrolone and EPO and I'd still be starting a ring rusty KT over him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 This inverted fullback nonsense can get in the sea. Tierney isn’t playing and needs to move. Zinchenko is a better player and can do more than Tierney can. No shame in that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if Tierney gets a game again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say Zinchenko is a better player at all, just a different style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me when players are “inverted” it typically means they’re playing on the opposite side of the pitch than there favoured foot - i.e. Salah being left footed playing from the right wing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means they are coming in field and playing more centrally. Zinchenko is more often acting as an extra midfielder than playing nearer the touch line as a more usual LB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Alexander Arnold sometimes does that as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
