Greedy_Jambo Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Things have been F-ked up for a while now at Hearts. Sergio is probably punching above his weight with the performances if we're honest. I'm surprised we've not been playing a lot worse than that.

Perhaps.

JT1959 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 "We are playing well, we just can't get the goals" Colin Calderwood Hibernian Manager. Slated by all. Now Hearts are "playing well, but ........" I've seen enough of hearts playing pish in the past that I would gladly have them playing pish as long as they scored.

Debut 4 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I like Sergio but he's not a great manger... But we have been ahite or a year including JJs last 20 games See, JJ`s last period always gets brought up. Personally, i don`t think we`d have this start under JJ...before anyone starts im not jumping on PS...... JJ knew how to get the team scoring goals. He knew how to get at teams, he knew how to get certain things from certain players to make it happen....I`m not saying all the time, but we didn`t have a problem, really, finding the net under JJ. There were still some decent performances under JJ`s during his "infamous" last dozen games....the 3-3 v Motherwell in which we led 3-0 as we all know, but played extremely well until the erse fell out at the back. The 2-2 draw at Fester when we were well on top before another Zal headrush..... PS may have us better on the ball, but he`s missing a vital ingredient of getting his players to focus on how we actually need to break teams down and score......20 passes in a row doesn`t win you games.

N User Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Other than Skacel - we have no ideas up front. Minimal movement when we have possession. I think we have very little intelligence further up the field. Robbie Neilson spent thefirst half fouling constantly - we barely pressured him in the second half.

Fermit the Krog Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 20 passes in a row doesn`t win you games. When was the last time we done that? Serious question. I've said it before, the biggest problem we have now with the teams approach is that we have stopped doing what we started under PS. We would be a hell of a lot further on today if he had persisted with what he set out with. We all knew we were a work in progress but we were only going to improve (results weren't bad under that way of playing I may add) As it is now, the players do not know if they are coming or going. The way we are set up now is so similar to how JJ had us operating but there are subtle differences - wingers told not to hit the byline but to cut inside, not as much emphasis on playing from the second ball etc. Our current way of playing with the squad of players we have is doing us much more harm than good IMO.

scratchy Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 We're not so bad. We are, as we have been for a long while, lacking in a potent forward line.

alwaysthereinspirit Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 We're quite good at keeping possession now but still not great at creating clear cut chances. Unlucky today but we need to start picking up points. If we dont score we have a chance of getting one point a game. If we dont score we have no chance of getting three points. Ever.

deejtee Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 One of the summer signings unfit. The other three playing and looking at best very ordinary. Two wingers on at the end and pumping high balls up the middle! Anyway we were unlucky today but that is 6 points given to a poor poor united team!

The 20 passes thing was exaggerated to emphasis my point MJ. Have we lost the art of reading knock ons, anticipating balls into the box or having the desire to go for lost causes? I think so, are we just looking for the perfect goal now? The last few games have proved we toil if we go behind....we don`t have any sort of variety now.

Jambomullins Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Just think how bad we will be after the January transfer window... I disagree. I think that if the right players are dumped in january and the summer it will free the squad of the non-triers and wage thieves. Darren Barr for me is a prime example. Before joining us he was one of the best up and coming defenders in the UK and I saw it as a genuine coup that he joined us. He was a Scotland international and looked the part but in truth he has been a major disappointment and still picks up good wages. He is not alone mind you. Obua, Mrowiec, Taouil, Elliott to name a few are big earners but contribute next to nothing The young lads such as Holt, Walker, Smith & Robinson will undoubtedly be used more often this season but they need good professionals around them to guide them through games. I really hope that the club retains atleast Webster & Stevenson from the more experienced group as they will be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Probably a tad knee-jerk this, but if we're entering this new austerity I think I would rather just give the reins to Gary Locke and see what he can do. Keep the pressure off him, tell him to get the best out of the youngsters. Help him out with an experienced assistant - Sandy Clark maybe .

Also, how can we look so fired up when we play the old firm at home, but so rank rotten the rest of the time? Because there are many of those players vastly overrated, therefore vastly over paid. Results against the Old Squirm are like bonus points, never judge the team on these games as thats when any player worth his salt will be fired up. The real questions are asked in games against the likes of United today. Also incase its not been mentioned today, Vlad replaced the manager after he put together his squad and handed it to someone who had barely even heard of the SPL.
