If there was an award for most overrated player in the PL I think Tierney would win running away with it if he didn't have to fight off a few of his teammates who would also be in the top 3.

Think you're on the wrong forum .... Tierney is not fit to clean Reggie's boots ....
That's fine. Out of curiosity, what don't you like about his game?
O Bale !
I’m astonished!! This Mou guy was cooking up something delicious, but those critics are hypocrites. Other managers are figuring out in three years but Mo need not only adjust his “Dino tactics” in 1.5 yrs but the audacity of the media questioning his coaching philosophy.
The patience with still brilliant Bale has cost Tottenham the title but 4th spot is up for grab, dare I say second.
I’ve seen something different earlier today from the squad and there were rumours they gave up on the coach but like Harry I say “ Ruthless Win.”
Keep it up boys, win the cup against the so called oil money best

I think he is very average, if that at everything. To me he is very busy and often that is confused with good, He gives the ball away, and to his credit works hard to get it back, but it is the ease in which he gives it away that bothers me. I also find that many give him credit for trying to win it back without mentioning it was him that gave it away for no reason.
I also think I have yet to see him have a successful cross but I am sure that he has at least accidentally done it once or twice.
I tend to prefer FB's that are good on the ball and he is obviously terrible at that so I will always be lower on players like him that are all effort no talent. If you are going to be a supposed good defender at FB guys shouldn't be able to easily walk around you like they can Tierney.
The link takes me to Yahoo main UK page (is Yahoo still going!!!??) . What's Sportco?
He defended well against city, hoofed into touch with the rest of the team.
I haven't got any data mate and it's 2 am here so absolutely no way am I going to even take a peek at any numbers.
Fair enough.
I guess it may have be easier to say I hate everything about him and his game.
Is that what your mama calls you?
Reguilon was best LB in la liga and EL last season, and some think Tierney is better?
There are just too many badminton fans on this forum

Did you see the result and then watch after?
Watching some of the more technical analysis and a huge thumbs up for Ndombele:
He played 10 yards deeper than in any game this season and appears to have changed his role to that of a second defensive midfielder in a two man pairing with Hojbjerg. Instead of Hojbjerg doing all the grunt work with Ndombele making all the attacking moves the work load was far more shared ...
Ndombele - 65 passes 91% - KP's 1 - Tackles 2
Hojbjerg - 73 passes 90% - Dribbles 1 - Tackles 1
If you look at their respective heat maps they are almost identical sitting between our penalty area and the half-way line, neither player gave or received a pass in the attacking third .... all they did was recycle to the attacking four or to one of the full-backs.
Sure it was only Burnley - however this solid platform does look like the way forward - huge props to Ndombele for so quickly grasping the DM role ....
He was so good that until I read the analysis I'd barely noticed his deeper transition ... that's a sign of quality right there ...
A back six that can all defend just might give Mourinho confidence to stick with a front four - much as I love Sissoko and Winks to bits - having Ndombele as the second DM is just so much a better prospect.

No it’s taken you 50-60 games and up until yesterday you never saw us cross the halfway line.
We did this against Utd, Southampton, Newcastle, West Ham home, Liverpool away, Leeds, WBA, Sheff Utd, West Ham away, Everton, and every Carabou and EL game this season
So why are people pretending it’s the first time, every time we do it?
We’ve scored 95 goals this season
Liverpool have scored 72
But we’ve attacked in one game
:mourfacepalm:

I heard we've played more games so far this season than anyone in the Top 5 European leagues - 42
Still scored 23 more than Liverpool....haven’t played 23 more games than them, maybe 5?
Scoring goals =/= attacking
Not following? Did we score them by not attacking?
We played like yesterday way back and drew 1-1 with Newcastle with the absurd handball.
One shot they had, a 94th minute penalty and drew
There was nothing defensive about our tactics that day we had 23 shots, 12 on target and 66% possession
Like many other games, people think not winning means we parked the bus.
We didn’t, like I’ve been saying since Christmas, we wasn’t clinical and paid for it.
Doesn’t mean we sat on 1-0 for an hour. It’s a lie.

To be fair, Aurier & Sanchez had fairly decent games - but then again Burnley didn't really trouble anyone, did they?They've got this.
