Neon Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 3 minutes ago, Barasa said: His fitness and work rate are absolutely exemplary given the size of him. He will destroy some defences this year. His interview on Sky Sports after the match was fantastic - this is a guy who is loving being here and wants to be a hero for us. Said that was the biggest win of his career. And no mention of 'stepping stone to the EPL'. Also lost what looked like a bottle of water in sweat in that interview, twice today I watched as he beat 3-4 Celtic players. Absolute machine. Love what it means to him. On a side note, twice in the last two games I have seen Stevie Naismith blame Uche for his bad touches, cut it our SN love your input to the guys but be a little more humble when you feck up.

DVB Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 It’s been a long time since I have watched a player run himself into the ground for Hearts.

He is going to catch the eye down South if he continues in the same vein. Has it all in his locker and his assists will be as important as his goals.

alwaysthereinspirit Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I know I'll get ripped for this but he could do well in the England team against certain teams. Great ball skill, pretty quick, decent in the air and a handful for any defender. A totally different dynamic than anything we've seen in a while. Absolutely no fear. Loving watching him.

BelgeJambo Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 When I watched the preseason clips of the sands training, I thought he looks a bit of a huddy getting up the dunes Fit as a fiddle and will destroy lesser defenders Hanlon, Ambrose and McGregor should be bricking it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avhudtheteeshirt Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 He did exactly the same move at Hamilton for Haring to score, don't think defenders can stop him legally, so plenty penalties to come in my opinion!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Future's Maroon Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Someone mentioned earlier it looked a bit suspect from the dunes of Gullane as he was toiling.....that must have been his twin brother, after that display today I can’t believe it was the same guy. Where Levein has plucked him from is nothing short of a miracle, how has no one took a chance on him? Am I right in saying he is only 23? I know it’s early, very early, but he could go on to be a big profit maker for us if he carries on like that! I can’t mind how long a deal he got, but I think we need to look to extending it.

John Findlay Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Anyone else notice today that when he was competing for balls in the air that as well as mainly simunovic challenging, the untouchable Scott Brown was stopping him jumping by putting his arse McGinn style into his midriff and Beaton(useless prick) let him get away with it everytime?

Tasavallan Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hearts have had big forwards in recent years who put no effort when off the ball. Uche just never stopped chasing and harrying and I loved the tactic to give him the ball in the corners and let Celtic try and get it off him. Can only get better, too.

NaturalOrder74 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Guys an absolute champion, the SFA will have him a target but I think he’s gonna rise above if, absolutely bullied that defence all game if that’s what he can do against Celtic can’t wait to see how he slaps about their feeder club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five to One Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Loved his fist pumping on the way to the tunnel after full time. Exactly the type of player we were crying out for. Like an Osman Sow on steroids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
151 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Every time he got the ball you just knew he wasn't going to lose it. Time after time he beat Celtic defenders with ease, everyone bounces off him. Will become a fans favourite very quickly. From Sammon to Uche. Well played Levein.

allystrachan Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 The guy is a monster! Not the best technically but I can see him developing. Play to his strengths & just run over defenders. Credit to lafferty giving him some motivation in shooting practice before the game when he could hardly control the ball. That said to me the team know he is raw & look happy to help him get better.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Great to see a player who really looks like he loves playing for the club and fans.
