It should have been ten Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Are you serious m8 ........ we basically played with 10 men due to walker not even interested in helping out his team mates or working for his pay !!!!! Just let him go and take what money we can get from him now Totally agree! Get shot of him now I'm starting to detest the laddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamishMcGonagall Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 When he controlled it at the back post and then didn't even begin to attempt to swing his leg at it before the Aberdeen player slid in to poke it away... It was a good tackle to be fair but he just seemed so slow to react... The amount of venom that would've been coming from the stands if that had been the likes of Sammon!

Ray Gin Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Should have hit it first time. Had me out my seat screaming "HIT IT FIRST TIME!!". May have been followed by an expletive or two. Should have been volleyed into the back of the net. Didn't need a big swing at it, just knock it towards the goal. Keeper would have had no chance of getting there.

The Internet Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 He gave Logan about 3 days to nick the ball away. How he could think he would have loads of time in that position is incredible. He was ok though, won plenty of headers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Mitchell Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Should have hit it first time. Rubbish. Anyone that's played football would know how hard that is to take first time, especially on his weak foot. Logan done well to get the block in, no fault on Lafferty's part IMO. Won his fair share of headers today and looked lively. Thought he should have started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogicalEric Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I thought he gave them a fair few problems when he came on with his physicality.

Right in front of me. Knew the ball was coming in and the better option was to hit it first time. All be it there's skill required, but then he's an experienced international striker. The only thing is he may have thought he had the luxury of time to take a touch. Which he didn't. Wrong decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher75 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I was disappointed when Isma got taken off today as we changed tactics after that. More direct with Berra especially hitting the same diagonal ball to Lafferty for the knock down. To be fair he won a lot in the air but I think we were getting a lot of joy playing through the midfield before the change. I'm still not convinced by Lafferty generally. I love a forward who closes down defenders but he seems more interested in fouling them than pressing the ball. He is going to pick up lots of silly bookings if he doesn't learn to control that aggression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Findlay Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 At the game you ask yourself. Why didn't he hit it first time? Then you see it on BBC Alba and you realise it came to him at a fair rate of knots and even the most skilful of players would have had difficulty taking it first time. So he did the next best thing control and then hit it but, alas Logan was alert enough to nick it off his feet for a corner. That all happened in about 2 seconds.

1971fozzy Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 He never signed to sit on the bench and neither he should. Today was about confidence and the right plan to combat an excellent side.

Section Q Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 He did however win a lot in the air and was pretty decent when he came on. He won two headers in all the time he was on the pitch. Strange for a guy that size. We wilted when Goncalves went off. Played one of his best games for us today. Still looks a tad overweight but much preferred to Lafferty.

JJ1984 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Kyle when he signed boasted a lot that he will be the main man up top etc and this may be an issue as Isma is a better player and with one up front it will be interesting to see his reaction in coming weeks.

bajthejambo Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 The man is a class above the majority of the dross we have had to endure over the past five years at least. He came on, won everything in the air, made movement that had Aberdeen all over the place and put tackles in too. Which is rare for a striker. If he was a finisher, He would be nowhere near Hearts. Instead of getting on his case, let's support him. I mean it could be worse, He could be Paul McCallum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greedy_Jambo Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I like him. He just needs to get his match sharpness.

way out west jambo Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I didn't think he was that bad yesterday. Put himself about and is good in the air. He receives long balls well, has a good first touch and brings others into play. Different type striker to Isma who wants to run at defences all day. I like the options we have up top currently.
