Seems to get results and get teams playing an exciting way They often play without a recognised forward and play absolutely dire hoofball, evidenced by the fact that Halkett is their top scorer. I'd sooner have Grant Holt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavman81 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 It looks like the starting 11 is put together collectively with input from Daly, Fox and McPhee - and that’s the problem. I’d assume with a view to providing them with a platform for the bootroom philosophy. It’s just a shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandylejambo Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 if we lose the semi, the papers would be full of SHOCK headlines, but it would not be a shock to those of us who watch Hearts, that says it all to the management, Levein has to go now.

GavK1012 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 No surprised at all. Im out as ive said now for a wee while until Levein goes. Buck stops with him in so many more ways than is normal re his influence at the club to any other club. Players under perform, management are gormless beyond description and as a set of fans we are absolute suckers....loyal to a fault. Without AB we wouldnt have a club...end of....but that cant excuse decision making thereafter on that fact alone. Its very very sad how far we have dropped on the field over the last 2-3 seasons..... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way Levein is to blame, if it turns out the players just aren't very good that is clearly his fault as well. Thing is... these players are good enough, or at least enough of them to be doing a lot better. Berra, Souttar, Dikamona, Smith, Naismith, Bozanic, Haring, Djoum, Uche That's a pretty good level of player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Hans Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 As soon I seen the tinkerman had 'rested' Uche we were always getting beat. Been our best player for a month. There is a two week break now. You're not telling me he couldn't have played one more match. Shambolic team selections ever since he brought on Amankwaa for Naismith in the League Cup semi-final.

i8hibsh Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I am sitting watching the rugby and that loser Townsend as our manager and thinking how important a good manager is. I can only dream of having one at Hearts. Levein and his 2 jokers are so poor it is beyond the stage of finding any positive. We will always be a losing team under Townsend in the rugby and Levein at Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sac Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Each bad result makes his position more untenable.

thewiseone Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Imagine being a player and sitting through the analysis of that on Monday morning! I hope the management team learnt how to nullify the threat of Hamilton and can communicate this to our players. Think we need less attackers and more defenders, that should shore things up. Best chance in years of lifting a trophy, players are definitely good enough, the rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMJ_1874 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Just back home from watching that utter guff performance. Our second worst performances of the season. We have nothing to offer as a team and on that performance we womt get past ICT. Good luck selling semi final briefs on the back of that! Levein and his boot room have feck all clue and no idea how to set up a team. Very worrying and changes need to happen. Another Saturday night ruined!
