Cynic Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I really hope we can keep Djoum although I doubt we will. Never hides and can put the foot in too, sees things others don't and can pass short and long. Best position as a number 10 just behind the strikers but even when played deeper as last night against Partick put in a good shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy Doody Jambo Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I honestly hardly noticed him apart from a drive forward second half, seems to sit too deep of the game, barely standard out.,he's more effective centre to front, I'm not fussed if he goes, consistantly average player, every player should give there all as standard, probably best midfield player we have just now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_A wehatethehibs Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Hope he wins the cup and leaves on a high. Good luck to him on his next move, highly doubt he will stay on at Hearts. Hes been overall good for Hearts when he’s been fit and at his best. But now you sense we need some freshness in there and I think Djoum needs to try and go for it down south, heard Birmingham offered him a deal which I think at this stage in his career he’d be silly not to take a chance at that sort of level if he has offers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay James Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 He's been ok for us but he still not the driving force from midfield that we need. I think we can do better.

Sid Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 He was clearly put in a deep defensive position last night with Clare given a role driving through the middle. Against Thistle, I think this was overkill and he should have had more freedom to push forward. This happened in second half and consequently, he looked better as commented on above. He clearly followed orders which can’t be held against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussAsia Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Have to wonder if Ali Crawford who we had on loan at the start of the season couldn't have done everything Djoum does and maybe more..

Captain Canada Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) I think he's been disappointing for a large period of time with us but he started very well and has been much better again of late. I still don't think he's ideally suited to the physicality and high tempo of the game here though. The central midfield needs another overhaul this summer if Djoum goes. I'd expect Edwards to go too and Lee will possibly be demoted to a squad player at best if we bring someone else in. There's no creative spark or pace in that part of the pitch at the moment and we badly need a quality signing to really drive the team forward and create chances for our striker(s). I like Bozanic but his job (like Haring's) isn't really to play defence-splitting passes or score from the edge of the box. If Edwards, Sammon, Hughes, Dikamona and Djoum all leave then we should have a bit of budget to make the kind of signing we really need in midfield. I'd like to keep Dikamona but the fact he hasn't been offered a new contract yet makes me think he'll be away.

Debut 4 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 He was good last night. Imo, showed his higher class than our other midfielders against weaker opposition. Djoum at least knows how to get physical and anticipates tackles coming in by using his strength. Knew where to put the ball once he got it. I think others still take a touch too much or don’t have a vision of where it’s going once they’ve got the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gorgie Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 We've lost better players.

Rods Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I think Djoum, Haring and Bozanic are the same type of players. Hopefully Djoum's wage allows us to bring in something different in Midfield. I dont think Djoum is a bad player he is just not what we need so would not be looking to hold onto him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAlim Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Quite happy to have Djoum, Haring and Clare as a midfield trio, good mixture of physicality, passing range, link up play and goal threat. Clare is starting to improve at a pleasing rate, Djoum has been playing to a high standard for months and now we're just waiting for Haring to get back up to speed. Uche is doing all the dirty work up top and all we're missing is a bit of quality out wide and at fullback. Berra needs to sort out his form as well. It's all set up for a good finish to the season if Mulraney and Wighton can play like they did last night, need the final ball from them though but that will come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Turn Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Player of the year for me. Yeah Naisy has scored goals but if we were to count up Djoums average rating at the end of the season, he would be head and shoulders above everyone as our best and most consistent player. Its not only his ability on the ball that we’d miss, it’s his strength and ability to win headers and possession. The guys absolute class and he’ll be very difficult to replace if we don’t get him signed up. I’m sure we will have offered him the best contract we can.

Got to laugh at this post, are you really serious? (I normally agree with your posts btw) Theres no doubt that when he tries he's a good player, but for me, he should be doing significantly more throughout matches than he does. Last night for example, there were times he just walked about in the middle of the pitch when we were attacking, no urgency, no forward runs, not contributing to the team effort.

I’m probably off the same opinion as yourself that Djoum should be given a more attacking role because he excels in that position. He’s clearly being asked to sit deep and be disciplined. It has to be tactical as his natural instinct is generally to get in the box or hover about the edge of the box for a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richiehmfc Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 amazing how a player can polarise opinions so much. I would say along with Naismith and Michael Smith he has been up there for our most consistent performer of the season. I also genuinely don't know where the chat about him sh!ting tackles comes from? He rarely, if ever, loses a tackle and if everyone put in the same effort as he has this season we would be higher up the league.
