hearts00 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I feared the worst when he said in an interview that he is a player with no pace but likes a battle. Well he has no pace. And Levein seems to build teams with no pace and one gear. And here we are again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Vanecek really look like he was going to get sent off? Take off our 6ft4 striker half an hour in so we can punt long balls at Maclean and Keena all night. Sound. He was very lucky not to get a second yellow for a Swan dive in the lead up to the Dundee goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is why, because of the track record of 75% of our signings being duds. So when a new signing comes in and massively underwhelms we are going to fear the worst. Who knows how this guy turns out but Levein constantly signing players with no pace is not a good formula as results are proving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostinwales Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 To see people complaining about his performance in the Livingston game is partly the reason I stopped going to games. People who have never competed at pub level no matter a professional standard giving their expert opinion really grinds my gears. If you sat down and justly tactically analysed his first game,now remember do it sober not 6 or 7 pints beforehand you would have actually noticed that he held up and distributed effectively the majority of long give the defence a break ball played by the hearts back 4 and managed to bring in runners from midfield. I'm sure Sean Clare is very appreciative of the touch that led to the goal. Throw in a new stadium, first game in different style of football and only 2nd week with his new teammates.what do people want from a free transfer, we ain't gonna get a de vries debut each week. I think a certain mr larrson had a pretty bad debut for Celtic and don't think he ended having the worst career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 He was getting sent off if he wasn't hooked. Beaton fancied him for a red and that was what was going to happen. You know what refs are like in this league. I don't expect to get beat by dross like Dundee. I'm not even raging, just feeling a bit apathetic. We should start every season hoping to win the league, but if the players aren't going to bother their arses then whats the point? Naismith apparently thinks the squad is too nice. I think he's right. We need some *******s in that dressing room because this is utterly unacceptable. And where the **** was Dikamona. Poor guy puts his body through hell to help us to a derby win at easter road and Levein drops him for the new guy whose been here, what.. 2 minutes? Nah. **** off. Clevid. In. Now.
