Walter Bishop Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Nightmare? Hardly. Caught on the ball once and misplaced a pass because of the pitch. The most composed player on the pitch. Should be named our captain for rest of the season. Sadly we wont see the best of him due to our pitch and there`s no way we will keep hold of him for next season.

Hendricks Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Had a good first half hour, extremely composed in possession and always very well positioned. After that got dragged down into the eye bleeding awfulness of a truly forgettable derby. I believe the team will be much better balanced for the replay and we will see a more thorough and complete performance from the likes of Tziolis. We need to quickly put today behind us, remember and be grateful that we did not lose despite playing very poorly, learn from it and put it right a week on Wednesday. I said it before today on umpteen occasions: Its all about what Hearts do. We failed badly today but live to fight another day. Its still all about what we do. We have by far the better players IF we perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busby1985 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Felt he had a mare today as well, nowhere near as good on the ball as previous meeting. Left and right back had a mare as well, must've been under orders not to go to the byline, turned back every attack. Hopefully just a bad day at the office on a very poor park.

I personally don't think either should have started but definitely not both. Kitchen should have been in midfield at a minimum but possibly Johnsen up front too.

Rick Grimes Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 He was murder today, got worse the longer the game went on. Definitely strolls it but was far too deep for my liking today and didn't get to grips with the game the way I expected he would. A more up & at 'em approach was definitely needed.

henry Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 It was a wake up call for him if he needed it, Scottish footballs not great but if you don't get stuck in your going to struggle.

davie1980 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Plays in a very casual manner When he get's things right it all look effortless, like he belongs at a higher level When he looses it, it looks like he's making a half hearted effort Think this guy mught polarise opinions as he goes. If he really is good and has far more good games than bad then no worries. But I suspect his bad games will stick out like a sore thumb. Today he did as much well as he did badly. But today perhaps wasn't a day for strolling in midfield. Between him playing in his relaxed fashion and luxury players like Martin and Nicholson, it's easy to see, with hindsight, that we maybe got it wrong in there.

BigAlim Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Pace doesn't matter with the right quality in midfield... True, but you need at least one guy in there who can track back effectively, you wouldn't see any of our midfielders chasing down an opposition player running at pace like McGinn did to Isma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi5kaceldream1ng Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Calling a spade a spade here- he played crap but was actually one of our better players today which tells you something. He connected a lot of passes. He also gave the ball away a shedload. 5/10. The rest of midfield/attack got 3/4 out of 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTweedy Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 This. And Tziolis was far from bad today. He was the only player on either team who managed to pass the ball consistently (and even then he only managed for the first half hour or so This too. ). The big inquest should be about how the pitch has got so bad and how we can make sure it doesn't ever get like this in the future. It was stated at the AGM in December that it would be replaced in the summer, and that this hadn't been done in nearly 20 years and was long overdue. Now, given that it was relaid with new turf last summer, I'm assuming this means it will be completely redone, right down to the base layer(s). Whether a fully grass pitch or hybrid pitch will be installed, I've no idea. I suspect it's got so bad due to simple lack of investment over the years. Last year's turf replacement may well have been a stopgap measure, and probably expected to last somewhat longer than it has! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
