Tierney should only ever be compared to Robertson in the PL. Most complete left back in football by a mile. Total football. Does everything a player in his position can.
First, let's look at his ballstriking. This is him as a teen btw. Crazy genetics. https://twitter.com/ScotlandSky/status/988807067464019972?s=19
He had a system partially built around him, especially in that FA Cup run against City and Chelsea. Tierney created the chance for a goal against City and created a pen against Chelsea by long-balls from the backline. https://twitter.com/HaIeEndEra/status/1306563823416078341?s=19

Here's KT inverting himself between the lines and playing 1 touch combinational football like a #10. He probably could convert to a #10. He's that versarile/intelligent. He moved there as his wideman drifted wide. https://twitter.com/HaIeEndEra/status/1306568255457439745?s=19
The amount of agility in his hips is insane. Opens up so many passing angles and movements unavailable to other players. https://twitter.com/HaIeEndEra/status/1306566577404481536?s=19
