Geoff Kilpatrick Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Saying Steve Clarke for Hearts is all well and good. Given he turned down Sevco, WHY would he come to Tynie? Killie lucked out because he is from Ayrshire. Fair play to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacelsid Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 A reasonable result last night and plenty effort from the players. But little football on show and not easy on the eye. Our players show little desire to get into forward positions, make runs into space, take on opponent's, or have a shot on goal. Crosses into the box, long throws and set pieces seems to be all we have to offer. This safe passing to stationary players that is the norm must come from the training field and has not changed post Cathro, after all the same people are still in place except IC. The Man Cities and Barcelona's of this world can pass their way through teams because of movement and the quality of players they have, but do not do it at snails pace. Of course we have been weakened by injury but the coaching, organisation and tactics have been found to be lacking. Our club is back on track but our coaching needs to take a new direction IMO, I have no problem with CL moving back upstairs but we need a head coach to get the best out of our resources, who knows if Steve Clarke could be that man. CL would have to support but not control, that may be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it not been for 3 very poor refereeing decisions - Maclean's goal being chalked off against Killie, Rangers winner being allowed to stand and St Johnstone's ridiculous penalty we would be top of the league 5 points ahead of Kilmarnock.

Alex Kintner Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 10 hours ago, magicTs said: In the last calendar year, from the start of December 2017, Steve Clarke's Kilmarnock side have played 36 SPL games: 23 wins 9 draws 4 defeats 78pts out of a possible 108pts. In the same calendar year, since the start of December 2017, Craig Levein's Hearts side have played 39 SPL games: 16 wins 11 draws 12 defeats 59pts out of a possible 117pts. So Kilmarnock despite having played 3 less league games than Hearts have taken NINETEEN points more than us. Clarke is doing an absolutely phenomenal job with a fraction of the resources, far poorer facilities and about a third of the fanbase that Levein has at his disposal. He should have been appointed Hearts manager when Cathro was given the boot, he was the very obvious choice within Scottish football and I have no doubt whatsoever we would be top of the SPL right now and not Kilmarnock. I would love to see what he would be doing with the players we have available and I'm sure he would have brought in some far better than the numerous duds we've again conspired to end up with. 5 hours ago, magicTs said: It damn well should be used to compare Levein to Clarke.

FarmerTweedy Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 9 hours ago, magicTs said: Obviously chief. They don't like facts. They just like believing the totally ridiculous notion that we are in good hands on the football front. Nothing and I mean nothing suggests that Levein will ever have success at Tynecastle. Its a complete joke that we are so insular and tat people are so deluded that they think he is as good as it gets for Hearts. Its actually insulting given what the clubs fanbase have done for the club. We were top of the league until we lost our four most important players to injury. Kilmarnock would be completely ****ed if they were to lose their four most important players all at the same time. The only club in this league that wouldn't struggle in that scenario is celtic. Sevco might manage to get by as they'd have the refs helping them out, while we have to not only contend with serious injury problems, but bad decisions by the officials costing us several points too. . We are in good hands on the football front, despite currently being on a poor run. That is clear to anyone who bothers to look at the facts. There's no justification for changing manager at the moment, in fact we'd be utterly crazy to do so. Thankfully, the people actually running the club are far more sensible than some of our fans! Clarke is doing a remarkable job at Kilmarnock just now, and if there was a guarantee that he'd do just as well at Hearts, of course it would make sense to go for him, but there is no such guarantee, and if there was, much bigger clubs than us would already have come in for him. The reason he's at Kilmarnock in the first place is that things didn't go nearly as well in his previous management jobs, although he did get off to a good start at West Brom. He's definitely done well enough at Killie to merit another chance at a bigger club, but it's far from guaranteed that he'll be successful at all elsewhere, never mind as successful as he's been at Kilmarnock.

If you could name me any other occasion in Hearts' history when a manager would've justifiably been sacked for being 4th, having had lots of injuries and plenty of awful refereeing decisions, that'd be great. But you can't, because there's never been one. I don't like doing this - it's probably woefully unfair. But it seems to me, you so often blame some bogeyman or another. For many years, it was Vlad - to the point whereby you constantly defended Csaba Laszlo's appalling, eyebleeding football at a time we were flirting with the relegation zone on a massively bigger budget than we have now. Now, it's Levein. If only he'd go and we'd show some 'ambition' (read: roll the roulette wheel, before you slag off the next incumbent when he doesn't work miracles) eh? Well, no. Hearts are doing perfectly fine, all things considered. Bizarrely, your on-field expectations seem to be higher now than they were under Romanov, despite us now living within our means. Clubs that live within their means will always see things go wrong when serious injuries come along. That's life. And pointing to one manager doing a freakishly brilliant job doesn't change that. Good for Steve Clarke and good for Killie. But good for Craig Levein and Hearts too. At this stage of the season, at least. Well said Shaun.

JamboGraham Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 The table below is based on the '60 point formula' and adds back in some of the variations caused by the different number of matches played, different mix of opponents and home/away so far this season. All just a bit of fun of course and things can change a lot. If clubs continue with an equal mix of the ups and downs they have had so far we will not be too far away from this at the end of the season...it would be a remarkable achievement for Kilmarnock.
