Quote: Aboveusonlypie "Are you stuck in a time-warp? That was the criticism of Tierney before he'd actually played this season. But since he's played a few games in the first team people realise that his defence is actually very solid. He catches the high ball as well as anyone. Not quite Steve Hampson but better than Sam Tomkins.'"
Did you watch the game 2 days ago? He's definitely still dodgy under the high ball and nowhere near as good as Tomkins. Tomkins' 'dodginess' under the high ball was never as bad as it was made out by some.
