No idea whats gone on but how can you say Vanecek was 1/10. Wasn’t the all conquering display fans have built him up to produce every game but slotted in well was a different option up front to what Uche provides technically he looks very sound but either is not robust and aggressive or isnt up to speed with the Scottish game yet. Some of his close control and touches were really good though. 6 outta 10 with the half mark from 5.5 to 6 being for his lay off for the sublime finish from Clare.

First 35 - 40 mins were poor , Djoum was solid all game , Lee I forgot was playing at times , Clare was in and out. Djoum and Naismith maybe a 7 rest a 6 but there were good touches and that was a tough game overall. Three wins and three clean sheets on the bounce is a platform though.

portobellojambo1 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 The game was never going to be a classic, and it wasn't. But as a cup tie we did all that was required, got through to the next round. I like the look of Shaughnessy, who we have on loan. I like defenders who strangely enough focus on defending, which he did. But at the same time he seems willing to hit the ball long when he has to. It was the first time I've focused on Callum Morrison to any sort of depth. And if I got the chance to speak to him I'd just like to say to him that once you are past a defender there is no reason to stop the ball and try to get past the same defender again. He showed he can go past defenders but once he has done it once he just needs to aim for the bye line/penalty area and provide decent service into the box. We played some OK football at times, without looking great, but we got through and have been given a decent draw for the next round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomaso Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Not a great performance but we stood up to a very physical team. Lots of positives - cracking goal by Clare (thank God!!!) and a home tie in the next round. One thing that continues to bug me is the ‘everybody back’ set up at corners. Livy had a few in the second half and whilst Berra invariably headed them out our box the ball just came right back at us! Is it too much to ask to have the likes of Morrison up the park for an out ball??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only add young Morrison should stay behind an hour each day at training with a bag of balls and practice crossing. Never done Beckham any harm! We do miss big Uche and his ability to run at players and hold a couple off while he has the ball too. His contribution is massive IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor jambo Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 With regards to the game, I had the luxury of watching it on TV. Vanacek is, on first sighting, technically very good- some of his touches and awareness were excellent. He is not a blood and thunder player- he has skills and intelligence, and will work very well with Naismith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That usually involves beating players. You're right though - he sometimes over does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think St Johnstone got what they really wanted with the tie they kept the prices up. A half empty Tynecastle, with little atmosphere, which reduced the home advantage for Hearts. I can’t remember if they agreed to reduce prices for the other 2 ties since, or their home replay in 2012. I can’t understand why fans aren’t more up for early round cup ties. It’s our only real chance of winning something. Live terrestrial tv broadcasts don’t help, which makes our crowd yesterday decent under current circumstances. Pricing is, obviously, important considering how expensive it is to watch Scottish football.

We used to get home ties on our season ticket as well, which clubs can’t afford now. It’s not just Scotland either. The FA Cup has gone the same way, which was unthinkable not that long ago. The game in the UK is mainly about league position now, due to prize money and, maybe, the scrapping of the European Cup Winners Cup.

Before Tynecastle was all seated virtually the only fans with ST were in the old stand. Apart from the Hibs and OF games there was loads of room on the terracing so there was no need to commit to a ST. That has changed now and many are stumping up the money upfront for a ST and see paying extra for a cup game as a non-priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
