Vanacek isn't the issue and will need time - he will come good, no question To have a go at him 2 games in isn't fair at all - If he hadn't have been hooked tonight he would have probably been sent off as he is off the pace - he needs time to adjust, the czech league and spl are completely different - He isn't the reason and isn't to blame for the result and performance My concern is that we do need to be able to change things and adapt as we just look a bit 1 dimensional at the moment and without Naisy lack that creative spark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardboardcutout Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I was at livvy on Sunday and will be at st Johnstone Saturday but usually can’t go so when I go I hope to see some inspiration or a style of play which is Exciting or at least effective. We have nothing really and I pity season ticket holders as I see no progress or even a suggestion of ‘better days to come’ I fear that Craig’s time is coming to a close and new thinking is required.

scotty2442 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 It’s just awful football to watch, the players don’t look look like they know what they are meant to be doing. We have an amazing pitch, but our players seem unable to keep the ball on it, it’s just hoofball all the time. I see people on here giving pass marks to Djoum and Keena, but you don’t get pass marks for just trying, there has to be quality there as well and there was no quality from ANY Hearts players. We could barely string 2 passes together at the weekend and tonight was even worse. Tactically CL is just totally inept.....he says we are fine in midfield, well that’s because the midfield are pointless when the ball goes from back to front. On paper we have a decent squad, but what we don’t have is a management team that seem able to get the best out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Couldn't get to the byline once InThe first half. Big Dave gets subbed. About 100 cross's in the second. Big man is off the pitch. It's like we don't know how to play to our strengths. Clare doesn't contribute enough. Needs dropped. He actually gets in the way allot. We start too slow, far too tentative. Dundee are bottom, score first and you steam roller them. Not us, give them confidence by starting slow and allowing them the ball to settle. The boy from Leeds hasn't improved us on that showing. (can't spell his name) Depressing stuff. Djoum and Lee OK tonight. Mulraney done well when he came on everyone else was shite.

What is going on at Riccarton during training. There is no method, structure or ideas in the team. Keep playing this way and you'll not only sicken the fans but drive them away as it's really that bad to witness. How much more mediocrity will people accept? how many more excuses?

portobellojambo1 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Poor tonight unfortunately. Don't think we managed to learn anything from the 1st half on Sunday, where it quickly became apparent that pumping long, high balls at Vanecek just wan't going to work, and didn't again tonight. In saying that I'm guessing he was taken off tonight due to injury (not read back through the thread as he was no worse than anyone else around him. Some others will undoubtedly think differently but I thought Djoum was doing well tonight, but there was just no one either around him in midfield or forward of him to take any advantage from what he was doing. Think it is probably best just to leave it there, as there isn't anything to say that is any way particularly positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hadn't done an awful lot before he was substituted but he wasn't alone in that category. I just hope the intent going forward isn't to continue to pump the ball long and hope that he can win the aerial battles. The 2nd half on Sunday showed he much prefers the ball played into his feet, and we as a team play better by keeping the ball on the ground so we shouldn't be looking/to/considering moving away from that. It seemed like a strange substitution at the time, think it would have been better to change the way we were playing than rearrange the players. On a night where Djoum looked as if he was trying to play football we did, for long parts, move well away from the basis of ball from keeper to one of the back four, ball moved forward to midfield and continue to build from there. The way we played made it very easy for Dundee to play against us. Edited January 23, 2019 by portobellojambo1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been said, losing one player shouldn't make the rest pants. We're already losing ground so need to sort out the mistakes and lack of potency up front or we'll be set adrift for another lacklustre season. On a positive note, we're still in the cup! ?
