Class of 75 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I liked the big guy and thought he brought something different to our game. I thought he was tremendous in the League Cup tie at home to Aberdeen. They couldn't get the ball off him. If he could have played like that every week he would have been a real asset. Best of luck to him down south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refs were a disgrace with him but overall touch and mobility not quite good enough for me. Definitely in his first season. I recall a game against Aberdeen at Tynie when John Beaton was complete and utter cheat. He made it brazenly obvious that Uche was getting nothing at all that game and basically gave both Dons centre halfs free rein to boot him at every chance. Sure he scored the winner that day though.

Except not everyone wanted for some reason. The rush to slag off our own players after a bit of bad form or whatever really gets on my tits. Remember Bjorn Jonsson being dismissed as a huddy and not Hearts standard. One of the top scorers in the Eredivisie the following season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Not many players will outmuscle Aldeweirald like that. What was noticeable is that it happened and Toby accepted it as part of the game.

Two things made me realise how far behind English football we are physically and in terms of conditioning and diet: Seeing Spurs up close at Tynecastle in the 0-5 game - every one of them an absolute monster, including someone I previously thought was a wee Robbo type, Jermaine Defoe - and seeing Berra go from big laddie to the Terminator almost overnight when he moved to Wolves. You don't get into that condition on a diet of monster munch, nandos and running up and down sand dunes that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC Beaton booked him for diving instead of giving a clear pen when Joe Lewis took him down and it was rescinded after the game. As you say it came after a culmination of Uche getting nothing all afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToqueJambo Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Just watched Wycombe's goal on the bbc match thread. Uche absolutely would have been penalised in Scotland for that and all the pundits would have highlighted it as proof of his dirty play.

BigAlim Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 No world beater but certainly not as bad as folk make out, was unplayable on his day and was used as a climbing frame before realising refs would only give him anything if he went to ground.

Musemic Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Selective memories to the fore tonight. Sure he was big and strong but, if we're being honest, he was very limited and had little or no game awareness. Sure, the refs in Scotland gave him nothing but he appeared unwilling or incapable of changing his game to prevent him falling foul of refs all the time.

He definitely thrived in the 'big' games, fed off the crowd for your Celtic, Rangers, Hibs games. Week later and his workrate decreases in the lesser games. Last season as mentioned was pointless, he was penalised for breathing, the boxing day Hibs game when he was thrown to ground in the box was pick of the bunch.

By being the player he is he got picked up by a team in the fourth richest league in the world, he is now playing against defenders who will not fall down at the touch of a feather and are physically more up for the challenge, and he will be earning much more than he did when he was at Hearts. Good luck to him - I bet there are a good many of his team mates from last season who will be somewhat envious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigO Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 As well as refs being an issue, Levein ultimately was too. Levein essentially invited the refs to behave like that by playing Uche up top on his own and lumping balls at him. Not his game at all. Let him get his back to a CH or, even better, an FB, get the ball into his feet and let him turn and go. We didn't use him to our advantage. I liked Uche and he could have been great for us. As it was he gave us a few good memories under a terrible football regime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
