Kieran Tierney v Luke Shaw
Kieran Tierney
Pace
8
Has good pace, an essential feature in the modern full/wing back.
Workrate
8
Good workrate, willing to get up and down the flank for the full 90 minutes.
Defending
8
One of the better defenders of modern day full-backs, though it is a low bar I know.
Attacking
8
Offers good width and an ability to provide attacking thrust from the left.
Motivation
10
Playing for the club he grew up supporting as a boy and it clearly gives him an extra step.
Kieran Tierney
Luke Shaw
Pace
8
Depends on which Shaw you are talking about, he has good pace when he is not carrying extra timber.
Workrate
7
Good workrate on the pitch, but has issues maintaining that work ethic in training.
Defending
7
Not the worst defender but has the usual issues of the modern day defender when it comes to actually defending.
Attacking
7
Much more comfortable going forward, but lacks intelligence in his play at times.
Motivation
4
The biggest problem he has is motivating himself to live right, eat right and train hard.
