Cathro signed virtually a full team of Diddy's 

 

Levein hasn't .. he has signed good players  for us in his time in the dugout and let players go that weren't going to be the future of us

 

yes we all want us to be more attacking on the park but we need the right players to do this 

 

For this reason give him the summer ... I'm sure things will change next year if progress isn't made next year 

 

we need you and everyone else's backing now more than ever 

 

Levein has never tried to emulate the Tic game tactics since but reverted to type instead, which incidentally took place in the week of the Shareholder's AGM.

[letsalldothebeattie]

Voted stay see what he can do in the summer now in terms on bringing in better personnel for the team and see how we start the season before we properly judge him

No offence intended, but surely is obvious why tactics that worked against a team of better players who attack attack attack aren't likely to work against the rest of the SPL?

He said he had to play those tactics and it worked because Celtic went all-out-attack on us, leaving their defence open.  Other teams sit back and counter attack or do the pressing on our midfield so those tactics don't work.

I surveyed 22, sorry 23 Hearts fans, one of them is a big bloke so I'm counting him twice, they all wanted cl to stay s that piss's all over your poll.

[eusabio]

Exactly how do you think people who want Levein out are not Hearts Fans?  We all want what's best for the club and many of us think that a change of direction is needed. Our opinion is equally as good as yours and it  is complete arrogance to insult good and loyal  Hearts fans just because their opinion differs from yours. If you are happy with what's put on offer on the park, then that is your privilege, but I and many others expect and demand better from one of Scotlands top teams. I have nothing against Craig personally as I always admired him as a player, but I just do not think he has got it as a manager.

On the evidence so far Levein has shown he's the man for defensive dire football who doesn't know how a team plays attractive football that lifts the fans.

We didn't concede any goals either by playing on the front foot against the best attack in the league.

 

My point to Hearts1975 was if you think under Levein that the entertainment levels are going to increase with new players coming in, then you are living in a fanatasy world.

Thought hibs attack attacked last Friday. Their defenders and midfield strolled through the game because they were never put under pressure. Maybe he could come up with another set of tactics for other teams.

Sad but that's the difference between fans who know what it takes to win playing good football and fans who accept a manager who is way behind the times playing dire negative football.

Levein does not have midfield players in the current squad that can break open an 8 man defence.  We have been saying on here since the start of the season that the midfield is weak and is augmented by youngsters from the academy.  Let's see who goes and who comes in during the summer.

Sure you said the same about Robbie.

 

Too much BT sport for you, maybe?

 

You and your 21 pals must be a right hoot.

 

How did you survive the 60's, 70's and 80's and most of the 90's as a fan? I must have missed this winning and playing good football phase that we went through in your mind and that you know all about.

 

I remember relegation, almost being extinct, followed by establishing us as a decent league side, beating hibs but unfortunately peppered with crushing defeats in big games up until 98.

That's he sensible approach, and there will be pressure ( rightly so) to hit the ground running from the LC onwards.

Can we assume that Levein knows what tactics work against every other team bar Celtic ( who he's got sussed now apparently despite a hammering last time we played them)

And its just lack of the correct personnel preventing our tactical genius ripping the league up

As we currently play with little width, by choice, De Vries would be next to useless in the current set up.

Not really all in the public domain, Macphee himself has said everything that is up there? Do you think he had nothing to do with signing the NI players for example? Might need Mulder and Scully to open your mind.

Agree. like playing on the front foot works against Celtic but would lead to complete disaster against Partick, Dundee or Ross County.

Foolishly my work station was still connected so I have seen your latest rather pathetic contribution. As I am not a paediatrician I won't be seeing you as a patient. I offered you advice about what you might want to do but you THINK it is smart to continue to  be irritating. Reminds me of an old Monty Python sketch and as I am not arguing on my own time  I will disconnect from JKB and let you carry on.

Seems a bit silly then to be playing with little width and expecting them to pass through a team instead to score.

We aren't there yet, I can see that, probably everybody can see that 

 

I'll grant you that re ur point re tactics with the Celtic game .. we attacked harried and pressed the tic all over the park and played a high line that day and won fair and square 

 

Your saying that's fantasy land that things wont change next year ... I'm saying it's not and next year we will be a different side ...

 

time will tell but give him another chance in the close season - he has already publicly said he is going to clear out up to 9 players and bring players in where we are weak 

 

if he is just going to play the same old style and doesn't have a clue about what the support is feeling or thinks then why is he bothering to have a clear out in the first place? - I'm not judging him on someone else's signings, yes he sanctioned them so has to take some responsibility for that but they weren't his signings - I want to see who he can bring in and add to the team in the summer period where we are going to have the best opportunity of getting the best players in 

 

levein has unearthed some gems in the past for us - de vries, fuller, Valois, etc 

his recent signings have been good - I've just got a feeling that he will back this up come the summertime ...

I tend to think there is enough evidence through the simularities between how Levein, Neilson and Cathro have had the team playing, at times, over the last three years that the current tactics are his preferred choice. Plus Levein's never been a good enough coach to have his teams playing a slick pass and move type football.

Neilson, at least, was given a choice of Levein/Murray choices to pick from once he had identified a need for the team.

I think need to be signing at least 9. First and foremost though I'd be trying to keep the good parts of what we've got and just make it a bit less of a re-build.
