Morlich Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Utterly outstanding today, I thought. What a shift he put in. And that bit in injury time when he was holding off two of them to keep the ball in the corner!! Uche! Uche! Uche! Just saw his interview too. Articulate, dignified, modest, and committed to the club. He'll do for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmo Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 He has so many of the attributes that teams down south look for, makes me wonder why it didn't quite happen for him. Entirely our gain and he gave that Celtic defence as torrid a time as anyone they've faced domestically recently and probably many of the teams they played in Europe. So nice to see them bullied for once - and by technique as well as physique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal showed how well they work together. Lee wins the ball, moves forward and passes to Uche. Uche takes the ball and draws in three Celtic players (actually two as Tierney just gave up and stood by watching) and continues to move towards the line. Meanwhile, Lee and Haring get into the box at speed with Lee taking another two Celtic players with him and Haring taking one. That left a huge gap in front of their defence that wasn’t being covered by the other 4 outfield players - a gap giving Lafferty all the time and space in the world to hammer the ball home when Uche slid in that pass. The key part was Uche taking three defenders out and still getting a pass away - something he did several times today. He had them on tenterhooks all afternoon.

As I said on the Lafferty thread, as special as the strike was it could be said there are others in our squad capable of hitting such a sweet hit on the run given the opportunity. But what Ikpeazu did to set up the goal? There’s only one player in the squad remotely capable of doing that. Worth his weight in gold so he is.

Debut 4 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Said after ICT that Uche will cause problems for any defence this season on ability alone.

Kiwidoug Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Please, please, please Craig, dont let this guy or any of the others let their guard down. As far as I'm concerned when we're playing Dunfermline we're playing Hibs. When we're playing Livvy we're playing Celtic. No easing off. 90 minutes total concentaration once a week shouldn't be too much to ask and 3 points from Livvy has exactly the same value as the 3 we won today.

loveofthegame Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I really really really like Uche. Both on the park, where he is an absolute monster, holding the ball up, winning flick ons, beating men, setting goals and chances up, running his heart out, and also off it where he comes across as hard working, down to earth and genuinely likeable. I started following him on Instagram as soon as he signed and the daily videos he put up over summer of him training hard were testament to his attitude and his desire to come here and succeed. so much time for him. Keep up the good work Uche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic simply didn't know how to handle him This. His contribution to the team in the two league games and two last cup games goes way beyond his goals. Celtic had two players on him at all times yesterday, occasionally three - and still couldn’t stop him. He has defences concentrate on him leaving space for others, and we have guys like Naismith and MacLean who’ve made their living making intelligent runs. He’ll be involved in far more than 19 goals this season. In 5 appearances so far (which includes only one 90 minutes) he’s scored 3, assisted 2 and was involved in through balls that lead to at least one penalty. When you look it at that way he’s almost 1/3 of the way to contributing to as many goals for Hearts after 5 games (one full 90) as Lafferty contributed towards the whole of last season.

soonbe110 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 The really exciting thing re Uche is that Levein rates Vanacek as a much better player than Uche.
