Arsenal have a truly world class talent in Kieran Tierney. His attacking prowess from left full back is reminiscent of Gareth Bale when he used to play as a LB. The way Tierney attacks space is truly something to behold, you can't stop him when he is in full flow.
Another thing that stands out for me in Tierney's game is his ability to make good decisions on the ball at full speed, aided by his very tidy passing that racks up a passing success percentage of 80.4.
Tierney isn't just a safe passer, he is also a progressive passer With 8.38 of his passes being into the final third per game.
Kieran Tierney makes 4.34 passes into the box per game, & Under Arteta who's system is Predicated on giving FB's licence to impact the attacking play from wide areas through overlaps especially from the LB, Tierney's desire to set up goals will be useful for Arsenal.
How Does Kieran Tierney Compare To His Compatriot Robertson?
As far as (xA - Expected Assists) , Robertson is better than Tierney in this department with a xA of 8.04 compared to Tierney’s 7.96. As expected, Robertson posses a greater threat when he crosses.

What about Defensively? (Tierney vs Robertson) who's better?
First of all, I'd like to say they are arguably the best two full backs in the world defensively. Kieran Tierney wins 24% of tackles won per game compared to Robertson's 20%.

Kieran Tierney is a fantastic defender. A certain upgrade on Kolasinac. Tierney wins 18.53 duels per game, but what's even more impressive is his 8.04 recoveries in the oppositions half. HE CAN PRESS. And is a very clean tackler. Tierney also makes 5.06 interceptions per-game.
Conclusively, Arsenal have a top draw talent in Kieran Tierney. He is the complete full back, and Arsenal have a world class player imo. Today's MOTM performance was only a snippet of what's to come. (RT's & LIKES) Appreciated.
