Debut 4 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 25 minutes ago, everton_jambo said: He was fantastic, despite the ref doing him no favours. 2 bits of play in particular. The strength to keep the ball and then the reverse pass to McLean for the 4th was brilliant. Secondly, Souter blasted a header high into the corner of the pitch, then Uche facing away from goal held off the defender managed to turn inside and take it towards goal. His shot (well hit) was blocked but it’s that kind of play we will hopefully see more of Good. This is what we talk about when a forward hasn't scored but must contribute in other ways. Too many forwards just wait to be served. Others keep working and playing in others, or still look to get efforts in through sheer will.

OTT Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 See that interview with Kevin Kyle and him mentioning about getting very little from refs up here when he is actually the one being fouled? I really think the SFA need to have a word with the refs association to give the benefit of the doubt to the striker unless an obvious infraction is being made (elbowing). Whats more exciting to the spectator, a defensive free kick or whatever the striker manages to do? Regardless, really happy with securing this guy. Think he's gonna hit a few this season!

Madjambo21 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Think he looks a real find. Needed a big striker that can hold a ball up to bring the team into games. Need this sort of player when we play teams that will have the ball more than us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napier Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 He was much more involved second half. Constantly fouled first 45 but given absolutely nothing from Dallas. Play for Naisy and Maccas goals was superb, uses his size so well then bursts away from defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous 1874 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Dallas gave everything against him.

Don Dan Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) He’ll get very little protection with our Refs. I noticed Naismith chatting to him and telling him to stay cool as it was obvious he was getting the sh!t kick out of him as well as being held. I said during the game Dallas is a bad ref but he really pulled all the stops out today and made sure he got most things wrong.

Brighton Jambo Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 What is great is I just had to wrack my brains as to who is our top scorer after five games of the season. Uche, McLean, Haring, nope Naismith with four. And Lafferty hasn’t even got up and running yet. Early days but amazing start in terms of goals scored and chances created.

Some of Dallas's decisions were absolutely baffling. Uche regularly won the ball despite being fouled, only for Dallas to then penalise him for something that only he saw. Mental. Big Uche had a great game today and will start against Celtic imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was bizarre given Uche was away and had absolutely no reason to hold on to the defender. Levein was going mental That one was unreal. He also took an elbow and got absolutely nothing. He was an absolute machine today. Didn’t have too many chances to score but tied defenders in knots, was key in the build up to the penalty and his style of holding off his man then just running straight at the defence had them running scared. The one where Naismith was through, but took a bad touch and squared it to him was probably his best chance. Even when he’s not creating or scoring chances for himself he is working to win the ball and bring other players in to the game which is something that we’ve really been lacking. I love the guy to bits already and I can’t wait to see him next week against that lot. What a find he is! He did look like his hamstrings were getting a bit tight towards the end, but it looked more like cramp than a pull. Levein spotted it right away and took him off for KL, so hopefully there are no after effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riccarton3 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 What length of contract is he on? I'm thinking it will be 2 years. I am hoping his treatment from refs improves but other Hearts players should really be yelling at refs to award fouls in his favour., not just leave it all to the big man, The ref attitude (and it won't just be Dallas) seems to be 'you're a bit laddie, yes it's a foul but you should be strong enough to deal with it!' Rules of the game binned because the guy's a powerhouse. Instead of seeing the guy's that strong, they're having to foul him constantly. How do you walk off after that and call yourself a referee?

I would be gutted! Seriously though I think our home form was good last season except against top six, then in last few home games we beat Arsenal, Man united and drew with Spurs so confidence to get a good haul of points at home will be high. Away form was dreadful though and if not improved could be a problem. we have strengthened strongly in the right areas however there is always the risk of second season syndrome. I think Huddersfield and Cardiff are definitely weaker than us but there about five others including us who will be in the mix. If palace lose Zaha they could really struggle. I predict we finish 14th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kept talking about the importance of his personal goals, so clearly a determination and discipline to him. Great point - he seems to be very grounded mentally and in tune with his strengths and weaknesses - big humble guy as well and seems to appreciate what he does in life, think he could be a real real find for us in the potential mould of fuller and de vries (no quite yet!) if he keeps going really like him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly the same in the converse... IE Scotland won't produce a Jimmy Johnston or even half a Leo Messi because size is everything and the laws of the game don't apply (until you sign for SevTic) whether you're wee or big only if you're a 6ft clone. It's fairly depressing usually. I say usually because Uche is a most unique character. A guy who thrives on a pagger I'd wager, but is unlikely to lose his cool. Glad to see a few others are noting that he's a potential cult hero/legend. He reminds me of a young Emile Heskey in that he's a big powerful forward but can really play football and has a good turn of pace. It's obviously early days but I'm well looking forwards to watching this guy progress in maroon.
