Jamhammer Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) I thought he had a couple of nice touches and looked a fair bit sharper then the 100 minutes I've seen him play before so not writing him off.

He's played his entire career in the Czech republic so its probably a bit of a culture shock for him too. Obviously, his fitness situation is public knowledge too. I think the international break will give him the time he needs to catch up (said the same for Berra , going to be a shit break down Gorgie way for our players ) Yeah, takes a long time for these Czech players to settle intt Scottish football. Mind we signed that guy Skacel back in 2005. Played 13 consecutive minutes without scoring for us before finally getting off the mark!

Who, including anyone who'd ever seen him at these previous clubs, & for the better part of half a season at Aberdeen, could see he's an absolute cart-horse. Ask Aberdeen fans. And he was fit, allegedly. Now, he's still a slow, lumbering cart-horse...but he's found a wee purple patch, after faith being instilled in him by Aberdeen. We might do well, to allow a patently unfit Vanecek the same latitude? Naaahhh! Course not... Interesting stats.

Skacel had played for Slavia Prague(in Europe too), for Marseille, in the CL for Panathinaikos and was full Czech international prior to arriving though... Pospisil is probably a fairer comparison tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the entire time he was on the pitch he worked his bollocks off making space for everyone else by occupying 2 or 3 of their defenders and bullied them, on another day and a bit sharper he’d have scored a few. He had good moments, especially when he was holding the ball and barging through opponents. But his second half display was a bit embarrassing for its antics imo He was maybe knackered by then. I kind of get the feeling his reputation has grown in his absence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamboelite Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 So he came on and within 5mins we were down to 10 men hmmm probably not the best to judge him from that.

Against Livi his debut was solid and he set up the winner...no issues with his performance. He had a bad 45 mins against Dundee along with every other player in Maroon. Other than that he had been given 25 mins of football as a late sub and been given very little service. There is no way he can be judged yet.

Dont think its fair to use a player who is probably the best player in 20 years to play for Hearts. I think Vanecek, was ok today, not really given much of a chance to attack goal. I think fans can be quite ruthless with players and not giving a player from a different country to get used to a different league in a new country. Vanecek will come good, and people need to give him a chance (though being a new Hearts striker is one of the toughest things to be with fans.)

Pasquale for King Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 A guy behind me started slagging Maclean from around 20 seconds into the game, not undeservedly and eventually shouted “get NBA SHORTS ON FFS” which gave us a laugh. Vanacek tried hard, he and Keena should be ahead of Maclean imo. Vanacek reminds me of Messi ? from the neck up, that’s where the resemblance ends ?. Let’s give him a chance.

Bazzas right boot Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 12 hours ago, Bauld said: Underestimated the league. Believed the shite people spout regarding the quality here. Went on holiday and came back thinking he was going to piss it. Reality quickly hit home. This league demands nothing less than peak fitness. It's fast paced, physical and doesn't give you anywhere to hide. He has been really stupid and given himself a mountain to climb. Pretty much this. Although, I reckon he might just be climbing (running) up a few mountains as we speak ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Green Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Hes a good player. Hes clearly not fit though and that is on his shoulders. Needs to get the finger out and get up to speed.

alwaysthereinspirit Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I hope he's the real deal. As a Hearts fan I've never wanted a Hearts signing to be anything but. As others have said though he made his own bed now its up to him. He also hasn't as of yet had one decent cross to attack. I'm going to wait a few more games before wanting him gone.

Section Q Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 If Vanecek had come in under the radar he wouldn't be wearing the mantel of star striker and our expectations would be lower. He didn't make it easy for himself though and sometimes we expect too much from new players. Jury's out...!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
