tartofmidlothian Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 We've got the quality right through the team, but there's no urgency, little movement off the ball, no fight.

Taffin Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 We don't have quality right through the team. We have a couple of good players, a load of extremely average ones, a shit manager and an owner more interested in family fun days. It's really no surprise we aren't very good.

siegementality Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) We are not very good. Our manager thinks it’s ok to manage/coach two days a week, his team selections are farcical and his tactics are from the 1990’s. The steak pies won a silver award though.

Debut 4 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Need new voices and direction on the training field. I don’t think we are laden with quality throughout. It’s more a mix.

viva hate Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thought we had the key early on when Mulraney seemed to be spare most of the time but because we were so slow and he is so pish it just didn't materialise. If the substitutions had been better I think we would have won that, Morrisson was unbelievably bad when he came on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David McCaig Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Levein has fully retreated into his defensive bunker. Incomprehensible formation. We also seem to have abandoned youth development this season. Can't even say we were unlucky as we barely created a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I think Levein has had his day tbh. We're failing week after week to take advantage of favourable results. These shouldn't be difficult team talks yet the players just don't look with it. I don't want a young coach. Neilson and Cathro were not an enjoyable experience. Come the end of the season, I'd ask have a long think about what we want. From watching the Mark Warburton interview with Si Ferry, the DOF and manager need to get on to be effective so whoever we bring in needs to be able to work with Levein. I've always had the feeling of Levein that he's too preoccupied with the opposition, his tactics are less about imposing ourselves on the game and more about taking advantage of oppositional weaknesses. Theres a time and place for that but its not against bottom 6 teams at ****ing home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have some decent players and you only have to look at Solskjaer at Man U and Clarke at Killie to see the affect that a new manager , with fresh ideas, can have on the same squad. Levein worries far too much about the opposition, away games, grass length, systems and formations instead of sticking with the same team and allowing them to go out and play with freedom.

Don Dan Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Playing out from the back is our weakness. That was very evident in the dying minutes today.

jockmac Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Oh what I would give for a fresh approach with a new manager. Things have went stale for a good few seasons now. When was the last time we felt genuine excitement about out football team. We’re just treading water, definitely not kicking on like I thought we would. The Cup is all we have to play for, and I fear for us, with Levein in charge, if we have to go against Celtic or Rangers at Hampden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_A wehatethehibs Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 5th or 6th is confirmed. The Scottish cup is the last chance for levein. Irrespective of whether he wins it or not, I think it’s time for him to pack in at the end of the season and a total clear out of the entire coaching department must happen. I hope he can win it and go out on a high, of all people he deserves it. But the fact is we’ve had enough dull statistical percentages based football lacking any style, smiles or swagger with 0 chances created today. Players look bored, fans are bored.

Jeff Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 No decent keepers, Berra who is past it and has been absolutely brutal for weeks, 2 wing backs who are scared to take the ball into space and beat a man, Olly Lee... Well I've had harder diarrhoea, We have a striker who trys so hard to bring the ball down but once he does that he has absolutely no ability to do anything with it and another striker who's that bad he's sight seeing today instead. Worryingly bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo diehard Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Ffs why we go with one up top against teams like the Saints is abysmal, we should be looking to not only beat teams like them but score a few, get the crowd onside and go for it, if he wants the ball in the box directly fair enough but use overlapping fullbacks, in fact just use proper fullbacks?

None of them is interested, lack of urgency sprung to mind with me too, and so many long balls just getting hoofed to the forwards. You wonder what they do in training each day, I would go as far to say I thought some of them may have fallen out with Levein it looked so bad today again. If I turned up at my work with that attitude my bosses would read me the riot act. Total lack of motivation between the whole lot of them again today, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
