Baldy61 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Caught out to easily. Great player but poor today. Djoum on other hand played well for short time available. My opinion. Appreciate others disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Boy Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 We struggled to play football against their pressing game. Most of the game was bogged down in midfield. They didn't really have many clear cut chances. Disappointed that we didn't rag-doll them, but we go again. Replay: Djoum Choulay Nowak Should start.

Hendricks Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Can't argue with that as a starting lineup for the replay. We need to go hard and solid in the middle of the park, adding Kitchen and Djoum and give them something to worry about up front with Johnsen beside Goncalves. Forget about what ****ing Hibs are going. Set us up to WIN the game and be aggressive and take initiative from the off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peebo Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 People though he was our best player??? Funny old game.

Debut 4 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Because he makes a couple of slips people are saying he was generally poor? He had the better of McGinn in the first half, still got about the park and made passes. But the problem with his role is if what ahead of him aren't pulling their weight he then has to go simple every time with the ball. I'm not saying he was great today but I certainly don't think he was poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky_26 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 he seemed a bit too casual today and was caught in possession a few times. Some of it seemed to stem from a lack of movement or poor performances from others in midfield.

Debut 4 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Martin is becoming a bit of a disappointment. Really thought his passing would be better and he has far too much a lackadaisical style. The chance he had to put Nicholson through wide in the first half was sloppy. It looked a straight forward ball for a half decent player. Plenty room behind the full back and he just had to be thorough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Two Pies Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 He seemed to be getting very frustrated with what was on offer from a few teammates - notably Martin, but also Walker and Nicholson. At times, with McGinn and co. snapping away at him just seemed to wonder what was going on. And he was clearly annoyed at the lack of movement on offer from the front players. Nicholson and Walker was a mistake, Goncalvez offered more himself than those two combined. And Martin was huckled out of the game far too easily.

kevbo-selecta Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Clearly a decent player after Rangers/Well games but he was honking today (as were the majority!!). Thought he was out for a Sunday stroll during a derby which never let him! Too casual, too deep and never controlled our midfield. Here's hoping the experience of today will help him in the replay!!

lost in space Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Pitch didn't help him but he was not able to adapt to pitch or faster game pace. Potentially.one of the best players I have ever seen in Hearts jersey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number28 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Dudes the classiest midfielder we have had in years. Didnt have a great game today but who did? Agree. Has real quality. Even in the face of aggressive physicality from Hibs, he wanted to get the ball down and pass it. That's what we need and more to the point that's what Cathro wants all his players to do! He's the best midfielder at the club since I played! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambothommo Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I thought Tziolis was sheer class today. He was caught out by the worst pitch he will ever have played on, and on some occasions by team mates with poor positional awareness. He was continually coaxing and encouraging them to make a run or show for a pass. My biggest regret is we probably won't be able to enjoy the best midfielder weve had in modern times because the surface is so poor. And by the time the surface is fixed he'll be gone. Btw, what is it with Hearts and throw ins. Every ones a drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 He's one of those players that if he does get caught out a few times, then it seems like he's having an absolute 'mare. He did get caught out a few times, but he also completed a lot of other passes which will now go un-noticed because of his other errors. On the plus side, I expect him to play much better on the Easter Road surface because that will suit his game much better. Our pitch was an absolute state today.

maroonlegions Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 This thread is full of FIFA 16 football managers.

socrates82 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Thought he was fine. Didn't have much quality around him though. None of our players were finding space. Everything was too rushed, partly because of how Hibs approached the game with no intention of allowing a football match to break out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I thought he started really well and his class and ability were pretty much head and shoulders above everybody else, unfortunately none of our midfield started at that level so he kind of dropped down to their level.

kimosavi Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Only plus today. Too laid back at times. Still awesome. Think he didnt realise how fast paced a derby can be.

MoncurMacdonaldMercer Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 didn't stroll it the way some folk thought he would but did well overall the encouraging part was that he did well in a lot of the dirtier work required. He won plenty of headers and won possession either in the tackle or by anticipation. it was good to see he can get mucked-in even when things not going exactly to plan i think martin might turn out to be a good player but he couldn't get into the game. not sure him and tz can play in these games together. can't afford many passengers in midfield and martin, sam and to a lesser extent walker struggled. yet we still took the game to them albeit without much coming off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes tackles, closes down, wins headers but amongst the stramash he instantly finds quality and composure on the ball. That's why Scottish football doesn't get these guys at 21 and instead 31. They cost too much in their prime. But we used to breed players like that in this country and its that quality combined that will only take us forward at Hearts. Not one dimensional players.
