kila Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 4 hours ago, Haken said: There was some question of whether Clare would make the team at all, yesterday, due to a hip injury. Hopefully taking him off athalf time was just a precaution, given that the game was effectively won. He arrived out the tunnel after the second half kicked off so had to walk round to the dugout, looked like he was limping a little. He is getting better and better though, also adapting to Scottish football too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gashauskis9 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 As well as being a great player, I think he’s a top top lad as well. Head well and truly screwed on which is half the battle. Was great to see him taking some time out with the fans in the Gorgie when he was walking past at the start of the 2nd half. Genuinely looks like a player who loves being here.

Is that where we are at with Clare now? ? To be perfectly honest I don't think either of them are much cope. I hope I am wrong but I just don;t see it. Clare has shown a couple of instances of nice touches when running at players and has scored two very good goals but he needs to be much more prominent in games than he is. Ok I know folk are saying he is still young and adapting to the game up here but the jury is still out for me. Morrison despite claims on here about him having pace seldon goes beyond a defender and puts in a decent cross. He does it on occassions but not nearly enough. Now that might be party the way we play and personally I would rather see the ball played in behind defenders for his to run onto but that rearely happens which in my opinion doesn't help him. Again he is still a young player but is he better than say Billy King was and look where is is now? I know they have only really played a relatively small number of games but when you look at players such as Hastie and Turnbul at Motherwell I think they look better prospects than Clare and Morrison at the moment.

Guest Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I guess it's a consequence of the internet, but I don't see the point of all this over-analysis of players' abilities on a match-by-match basis, especially players new to the club and especially, especially young players breaking through. The question should be "Are they doing a good job for us and could they in future?" and both Morrison and Clare have been in recent weeks. Instead folk seem to be constantly saying "Can we do better?" or "Are they good enough for Hearts?" Thinking back to the pre-Internet days, I can see players like Wayne Foster, Neil Berry and Kenny Black being written off or talked down before they really got going if they played for us today. On paper they were quite limited players who never threatened national teams or were players we would ever make money from but they were very good, important players for us. Jim Hamilton springs to mind as well. Nothing special but did a job. Not every player is going to be a standout like Naismith, Berra and Souttar because we cannot afford that level of player in every position. We're always going to have a sprinkling of honest but limited pros and younger prospects who, by definition, will be inconsistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feedthefox Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Clare had some very decent moments during the game and was far and away our most inventive attacker.
