1.2 Season's Heatmap
This guy possess magnificent workrate. Combine with his electric pace, a nightmare for any defenders. He's particularly threatening in counter attack. He a favourite XI since the restart due to his versatility to adapt in back 3 as a LWB and back 4as a LB.

1.3 Player Comparison
Here's his stats compared to one of the best LB in the league. Look at his average dribbles per game. Probably not a fair comparison for average key pass since Robertson occasionally took set pieces.

Now we look at more stats. Tierney on the left, Robertson right. Some notable comparison;
Tierney v Robbo
Tackle success %: 80% v 57%
Cross accuracy: 18% v 20%

2.0 Eye test.
2.1 Positioning
He doesn't have a problem pressing high. Back at Celtic, they occasionally revert to 3-5-1-1 to press their opponents more efficiently. He often overlap into vacant space left when Aubameyang drift inside.

Aubameyang attracted two wolves defenders. Huge space in front of Tierney to attack.
Auba set him up, now both attackers run towards the corridor behind the shoulder of wolves defenders.
Again, positioning.
Look at where he is now. Just at the edge of the box.
Initial shot blocked and rebound. Took nicely on the chest and lining one up.
2.2 Dribbling & Passing Range
Tierney is a decent dribbler. He can draw oppositions allowing more space for forwards to attack.

Aubameyang recognized his passing ability. Immediately turned and caught 3 of Mam City's defenders.
Having a pacey striker like Auba in front of him definitely boost his assist potential.
Again, Passing range. At this point Aubameyang already made his run.
Ball nicely controlled inside the box. The pace of Aubameyang left defenders 5-6 yards.
This one clipped the bar unfortunately.
2.3 Goal Threat
Combine two of his best quality above (2.1 & 2.2) You'll get a full-back with high workrate and quick to support Arsenal's forward in attack. He benefits a lot having a prolific attacker such as Aubameyang up wide in front of him.

One quality D.luiz still have in his locker, the long ball forward. Tierney already on the move before D.Luiz hit the ball.
Look at Arsenal's No.3, casually asking for the ball in front of the wide attacker.
This is prime Marcos Alonso stuff getting in the box on par with all the forwards.
Again, on par with Lacazette.
Ball to Aubameyang. Massive space in front of Tierney.
Aubameyang realised Tierney had a better chance. Set him up. Boom. 1st PL goal.
