HamishMcGonagall Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Think "great" is a bit of an exaggeration... Pleased to get the win but don't think anyone really had a great game.

communist Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Yep, as I stated in the match forum I'm not his biggest fan, but definitely improved the team today. No complaints from me. He just needs to show these kinds of performances on a consistent basis. With Connor and Prince both showing what they are capable of today there are some further positives to take along with the much needed 3 points. HHGH.

OTT Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Congrats to him. He does look good every few games but he is nowhere near consistent enough. I'd be keen for us to keep him beyond the loan spell and try and work on that with him because he clearly does have the commitment and attitude as well as a very tenacious style to his play which is something I can get behind. He's never making it at Liverpool and tbh, with his inconsistency I'd question what level he'd have to drop down to actually get the game time he needs...

Smith&Weston Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 The guys a right back and a decent one. Folk judging him on his central midfield performances are unfair. I would play him every week at right back as he’s quick, strong in the tackle and gets up and down the channel. Put us this way, I’d have him dealing with Barker on 27th before Smith.

sandylejambo Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 On his first-half performance, he was man of the match, effort and skill in abundance , faded in the second half but I think he must have been told to stay back more, strange, when we were not threatened in the first half and were much more of a threat to them than they were to us.

fabienleclerq Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Thought he was very good, confirmed he's never a CM and is in fact a RB. Prince was excellent aswell and Moore one rookie pass aside was very good too especially defensively. Felt for smith as he isn't comfortable on the left.

This whole level of inconsistency thing attached to Connor Randall is off the mark I feel. If played in one position which is his best then that goes out the window thus far. Twice he has played at Right Back, twice he has performed well - especially against Aberdeen (the best Hearts have played all season). I know it's said he is a midfielder also, but for me he is a right back first and foremost where he will perform consistently well if played there!

Sidelight Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Played really well and not for the first time. Our best right back by far. He can only get better with games. I hope that he stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's said he is a midfielder also, but for me he is a right back first and foremost where he will perform consistently well if played there! I think part of the issue here is that on the assumption that Cathro signed him he stated that he was a central midfielder. I think from his previous performances in that position it is obvious that this is not his best position and he looks much better in the right back position. It does say on the Liverpool website that he is an attacking full back so you would think his parent club would know which position suits him best. He certainly played well yesterday but he needs a run of games to build on that performance. Levein has been guilty of shufflling the team about since he took over although I know sometimes that is down to injuries but he needs to decide what his best team is and stick with it to help them develop an understanding in the team.

Bazzas right boot Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Smith is the better right back. Brandon is also far better than him. Shame smith is being forced out left as Randall and griezlak are honking out There. I counted 4 times that Randall was beaten yesterday. He was better than he has been in midfield but that wasn't hard, he's a poor player, Should be nowhere near our first eleven, as for Liverpool, the mind boggles. Yesterday, he won headers, a few tackles and kicked the ball away -well. We need far more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't play badly but do you think his performance was worthy of a thread with folk saying he was great? Couldn't give anyone more than a 7/10 yesterday, with a few more on the 6 mark so for there to be a thread singling a player out as having a great game is a bit odd. Maybe just reflective of how badly we've been recently though that a performance like that gets you a thread on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasavallan Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Good game. However, I suspect he only got a start yesterday at RB due to the absence of Brandon. Michael Smith is our 1st choice RB but due to no regular LB plays there. Come January, I expect Levein to have sorted out the LB position which would mean Smith moving back to RB permanently. Randall, Brandon and Liam Smith (on his return from loan) will all move down the RB pecking order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's so frustrating to watch. Not sure you get the concept of a squad. I wouldn't see any of them as first choices right now apart from Isma, but Cowie, Bauben, Hughes, Randall and Callachan are more than good enough for the squad. Jury's out on Stockton for me. Not an improvement on Bjorn Johnson or even Conor Sammon so far. The idea that we would be able to afford better versions of all of them as squad players seems a bit crazy. We're not a club that can afford two good teams of 11 in the squad. I wouldn't miss any of the others though, and Cowie and Hughes are nearing the end of their careers. Martin is still the great unknown given how few games he's had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
