tartofmidlothian Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Great game today. Not an excuse to have a pop at any player, they all did well today, but I'd say he's earned a start ahead of Mrowiec when we revert to two at DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Merse Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Yep. Credit to the lad, he was good the last time he played CM a couple of weeks ago too. I've given him a hard time in the past but if he can put performances like that in then he merits more starts in his favoured position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Wiseau Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Jonsson was key man in that midfield, but Mrowiec was great as well tbh. OK, he misplaced a couple of passes, but overall did really well - and played through the pain barrier after nearly getting his leg snapped in half. Can't help but like the guy for his commitment to this club. I would agree, though, that Jonsson should be first name on that team sheet in central midfield in 2 weeks time.

Northernsoulboy01 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I thought Eggy was hesitant and like a rabbit caught in the headlights for the first half hour. Maybe a lack of match sharpness. After that,superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an excuse to have a pop at any player, they all did well today, but I'd say he's earned a start ahead of Mrowiec when we revert to two at DM. Today showed that we shouldn't revert back to the old system that wasn't working for us. Today also proved that PS does have a Plan B, and after this performance I hope Plan B now becomes Plan A. On Eggert, he completely dominated the midfield and I thought he was the best player on the park by some distance, even accounting for the excellent performances by the likes of Stevo, Temps, Rudi.

He wasn't good by any stretch of the imagination, and his best game was undoubtedly as sweeper in the home loss to Rangers last season when he was absolutely immense.

gashauskis9 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Mroweic, Black and Jonsson were all immense today. Particularly pleasing to see them all play for each other and do the job that is necessary. The whole holding and defensive midfield nonsense gets on ma tits. A midfielder is a midfielder, they should all be able to defend and attack. Liked the system we played today, as I think we had the right players to play it. Mehdi and Obua wander in and out of games too much, and we need players who are tuned in for 90 minutes. The top 3 played well too, long may it continue.

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 He was very good today. Composed on the ball and put the tackles in when it mattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amadjambo Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Utter nonsense. We will agree to disagree. I saw lots of misplaced passes, an anonymous first 45 mins, few tackles. But in fairness he was much better 2nd half, was played further forward than he normally does, and considering the challenges he had to take, was still battling right to the end. Still don't think he had a good game, but will watch it again later and see if I change my mind. And your point about it being his best ever match for Hearts is "utter nonsense" too;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14flogel Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I thought having Eggy and Adrian in midfield allowed Blackie, Rudi and Temps freedom to move forward knowinhg that there was cover behind. They both worked really hard and got the tackles in. I even think Adrian was seen in the Celtic box (albeit witha nosebleed). if we wont flair up front we need cover and both did a great job today.

Not a day to slag players off, but i fail to see what black brings to the team? His tackling is piss, and gives away shitty wee fouls when there is no need! Adrian atleast goes for the ball and moves into space to get the ball! Did he not say that after the rangers game he could not sleep all night because of losing a last mint goal? Eggy was class all day long today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he not say that after the rangers game he could not sleep all night because of losing a last mint goal? Eggy was class all day long today! What Black does well is get the ball under control quickly and find a man. He did that well today. There were many times in the middle when Black helped us out of sticky situations. Even his booking was maybe "a good booking" today given that the Celtic player would have been one on one with Webster had he kept going. The big games seem to bring the best out of Black. He was good against Hibs and good again today. I guess I would agree with a previous poster who said we should see how this new line up and shape does over the next few weeks. However, if someone is going to drop out of the line up, I would hope it is Black for Robinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintmyster Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 And I think he also deserves credit for taking Templeton to the hairdressers - he was getting too old for that spikey ned look.

busby1985 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Eggert, the best dressed scottish football player, jonsson was very good yesterday and for me has never let the club down!! He rocks a pair of aviators better than tom cruise does in top gun! His hair is slicked back better than john travolta in grease..........TOP LAD!! We all know football is about how good your gear is so for that eggert is a shoe in for player of the year!! Its so refreshing to see a hearts player step up in terms of style, many times I've seen hearts players rocking the terrible football combo of grey nike trackies and a all saints tee!! It takes a brave man to do what he does so keep it up eggy, oh and I suppose he's no bad at the actual football stuff too haha!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionDJambo Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Eggert is a natural defensive midfielder, who has been mucked about playing in all sorts of positions over his career with Hearts. I thought he played very well at WHL, and expected him to continue in the team. He was excellent yesterday. I think Paulo Sergio hit on our best midfield for a match against Celtic. All of our midfield players contributed greatly to our victory. I would say that we have a manager who will pick his players for the particular opposition and venue, so until he gets 100% familiar with the teams in the SPL, he will not always get it right. But he most certainly did yesterday. The mix of the pick he made gave Eggert and the others a chance to work superbly together as a unit. How many clear cut chances did Celtic get? I, for one, was waiting on the surge coming from them once we scored. Our midfield never really gave them the chance, apart from a wee spell where we sat a bit too deep.
