jumpship Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Levein's tactics don't work in big games. Those same tactics struggle to win any game. He readily admits to hating blood and guts football. Football played with emotion. When asked if he regretted his post-match comments from January, Levein was unwilling to offer a direct response.. He said: "Listen, Hibs played exactly how I expected them to play. "We just didn't do well enough in possession of the ball. "Better than we have been doing recently, in the last third of the pitch when we had opportunities to play a composed pass, we ended up rushing things. "At the other end we defended really well, John (Souttar) and Christophe (Berra) were excellent. He is strangling this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8hibsh Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 He lost me tonight. He has had all season and great resources. We are truly dire. Was there anyone who actually thought Cochrane should start tonight? Levein has ruined him. The poor boy will be cycling with a Delivaroo bag next year due to Levein's man management.

We take 4500 fans to a cup Quarter Final and the 1st half display was timid, unorganised and lacking any urgency. We play for 20 minutes and he claims we control the match. We were just god dam poor. Tonight, we battle in 1st half and then fall out game again in 2nd. I don’t even think Hibs were that good tonight but we’re on the front door and therefore deserves to win. For him to say we played well but didn’t take our chances is laughable. I don’t want us to play like that. We have Berra and Souttar at the back with a good GK so should be able to trust them and go and attack. Adao also played well but our lack of ambition just invites pressure against every team we play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Presumably Cathro was compromised out. But it is possible he is still being paid. Then payoffs for 2 years for Levein and MacPhee would presumably be required. And for whatever deals Daly and Fox are on. Add new management staff, a complete rebuild of the squad, an expensive new pitch and all the expensive final touches to the stand. An expensive time ahead if the Board finally wakes up to Levein's mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What people are failing to realise is that Levein has been in charge of all footballing matters at the club for 4 years now. He created this mess and has come to the dugout to try to sort his own mess out and now he is failing at at. He certainly ain’t building any Rome that’s for sure!

A_A wehatethehibs Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Get Levein, McPhee, Fox and Daly all emptied - before the end of the season. It needs to be a Budgement Day II massacre. In an Ironic twist, the only coach left in tynecastle Gary Locke gets the tracksuit back on as caretaker for a few games at the end of the season. He actually done alright last time we finished bottom 6, we won all of our post split games. Plus he will do it for free, Brilliant. Could get JJ in as DoF. Big Giles Rousset is a goalkeeping coach isn't he? Get him in. Robbo can come back down the road from Inverness too, right now there's plenty of jobs for Leveins boys (even though they dont get results as coaches) so surely there's plenty of jobs for the PHM 1998 boys... *sigh*... They'll all be at Tynecastle for the '98 20th Anniversary on May 20th, I wonder if Levein will be there, he probably wont want to go, they'll all have their medals, even Robbo meanwhile Craig was in Cowdenbeath at that time, send him back there IMO Edited March 10, 2018 by A_A wehatethehibs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Out Attack Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 We were inundated with quality applicants the last time and that won't change.

I know there are folk who believe he has been behind the catastrophic signings and, to a degree I suppose he must have sanctioned them but the signings in the summer will be his 100%. If they are poor and the football on offer doesn't improve he will have to go and, if he does I don't think he can just be shuffled upstairs.

LochcarronJambo Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I loved Craig Levein as a player, a legend, he gets the club & loves it, I want him to do well as a manager, it hurts to criticise him , but simple fact is we need a change of football philosophy.... sadly we need more recruitment too, wether we have the money I don’t know, but it’s obvious something needs to change, I don’t have the answers but if we remain with Craig I really think we will stagnate over next year or two.....
