I’m pro Clare, there’s no doubt he’s got something but I fear his perceived and often real lack of application is turning the majority against him. It’s not too late and I really hope he can be honest with himself. We sign so many players like this though, that we think will come good but never do. Tzolis and oshinawa are two that immediately spring to mind. Our recruitment process is absolutely atrocious. Cant wait for the whole management team and scouting network to leave and have a fresh start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I have never bought into this 'player's shite' concept. He should be grabbing games by the scruff of the neck. He isn't, so in this instance I think he's shite too. Shame, as I reckon we are paying him as a high earner (5k a week I believe). I want more from him. He isn't delivering that so far!

Russ1977 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Complete passenger for 99% of the time he’s on the pitch. Nice wee bits of skill once in a blue moon doesn’t make you a good player. I had high hopes for this lad after listening to Levein rave about him when he signed but he’s been a huge letdown so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8hibsh Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I can't shake the feeling that he will come good. I feel for him as he may as well go out in shackles every week as he is so restricted under Levein and whatever the other guys are. He, at this stage is simply not performing. He is in a very poor team, with a very poor squad under diabolical management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacelsid Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 The new Cameron, really. He should be flying by now if he had something about him. Luxury players are usually capable of something special, I do not see it with Clare and never have. Lack of effort in a maroon jersey is the most unacceptable part for me though. I get the "he will come good"/"project" theory, as that was what we all hoped for. But he needs to start producing. Milinkovic was much more productive in a similar role, yet he frustrated the manager. Maybe his data/stats weren't good. Colin Cameron's legend status is safe, oh for another.

However, I am with you - the back drop of frustrating, depressing, anger inspiring joyless football hasn’t helped. If the management status quo remains we can no doubt expect more witheringly valueless performances next season - Followed quickly by an exit to Rochdale or Southend United and then on to the Conference National. This is some shape we’re in. Edited May 11, 2019 by alfajambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 He floats about. Maybe annoyed at the style of play but he is contributing nothing right now. A slow jog back into our box to defend but he just stands watching. His free kick at the end last night summed him up. Can take a penalty and corner. That’s about it. Two things that are rare for Hearts these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boag1874 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 He’s definitely got ability but he’s massively underperforming atm and not justifying his place.

The other reason I’m thinking is is that he thinks he’s much better than he actually is. He lacks desire and effort enormously. Levein should be demanding peformances out of him yet he’s allowed to jog around most weeks almost doing what he pleases then he gets picked again, on what basis is his continual selection? Look at his patter before that free kick last night! Prancing about like he’s Ronaldo over the ball then hilariously blazes it over the bar. Has shown virtually nothing in half a season bar he takes a nice penalty. Can leave anytime he likes for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely a player in Clare. When he is on the ball with a little time to look up he can glide along and pass opposition players effortlessly. I don't know if he lacks heart, confidence or both. I don't want write him off yet. A new manager (and I'd say it would have to be an experienced manager) might be able to get more out of him. We beat a lot of clubs to get him signed - not all the scouts are wrong. Edited May 11, 2019 by blairdin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphonseCapone Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Surely no one is still sticking to the "boys a player" mantra. The guy doesn't have what it takes to be a top footballer. He'd be decent in the league 2, or playing fives at Sighthill. Everytime Hearts massively big a player up when they arrive, they end up being shite.

DG_HMFC Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I have been, and still am, a huge supporter of Sean, but recently he has looked well off the pace in games. He started to show what he is capable of but I think the extremely low morale amongst the squad is having an effect on him. I still believe he'll be a stand-out under a new manager that wants to play on-the-deck attacking football with attacking players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four players touch the ball the most in our side, the goal keeper, the two centre backs and who ever the long ball target is, everyone else is just there to try win the ball back so they can restart the process. The amount of times we get the ball wide, if at all, and there is one person in the box or showing short. We have no overloads or overlaps so players like mulraney and Clare have two options, turn back and start again or try beat two/three players then try pick a pin point cross to the one person in the box, if there even is one person in there. When the whole objective of our set up is to stop the opposition then players like Clare, Lee, Mulraney and MacLean are wasted in the side.

daftie Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I don’t get all this guff about crap team, and playing out of position. Doesn’t take much to show passion, drive, energy. How many times is he in the open, and he miscontrols or takes the wrong decision. He is the most gutless player Ive seen in a long time. Ability is only useful, but if you don’t have the basics you will never make it. Ive never really rated him, and we can’t keep saying he will come good soon. He offers nothing, and is powder puff.
