wavydavy Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 1 hour ago, kimosavi said: Agree if i was a coach i would be trying to coach Morrison to run across his man with his speed. That way you're getting a foul when you're running at speed. You are giving a defender a choice to make. Pull me down or let me go It would also help our wide players immensely if we passed the ball behind the oppositions full backs for them to attck rather than receiving the ball with their backs to the defenders. That makes it much more difficult for them to take the ball then turn from basically a standing position to then take on their man. This gives the initiative to the defender which in my opinion is why Morrison in particular finds it difficult to beat a player on the outside and resorts to either running infield or passing sideways or backwards.

Tasavallan Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Things are moving along nicely as far as I am concerned. Defensively, assuming Halkett joins and Hughes departs, Levein has the defence signed up until June 2020 at earliest: Doyle 06/2020 Zlamal 06/2021 Baur 06/2020 Berra 06/2021 Dikamona 06/2020 Garruchio 06/2021 Godinho 06/2020 Hamilton 06/2020 Smith 06/2021 Souttar 06/2022 White 06/2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxy Hearts Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Some of the stuff on here by the keyboard football managers is very cringeworthy. Levein is a good manager beset by a lot of bad luck this year. I think he's a little jaded by some of the stuff but we have been in 1 semi final and now in another with a good placing in the league. We could all see what he was trying to do at the beginning of the season until the disruption and bad calls. He's a Hearts man and it must hurt him more when some of the things have been outwith his control so have a little sympathy. He's also had a heart attack managing the club and came back for more!

As I just said tell him to stay wide run at the byline and throw the ball in the mixer if the defender blocks it good chance of a corner or throw in. If he is tackled likewise or the defender is trying to build an attack from the corner flag not 5yards in front of the penalty box. Any player should be coached to run across a defender, ita no rocket science Naismith does it time after time and a laddie off Morrison's speed shouldn't be hesitant to open his legs up and stop cutting back on himself give the defender a decision to make run across him 9/10 times you'll get fouled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbojambo Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 In over 60 years of watching Hearts I think the club is in the best place it's ever been and I am proud to pay into the Foundation of Hearts every month to ensure that it remains so for future generations. This season started well and through a combination of factors mostly outwith Craig's control has fell away somewhat. But for all that we have a good chance of Scottish Cup glory and can shed some of the deadwood close season and hopefully bring in quality instead of quantity. Some fans seem to be at the end of their tether just now and for us old timers it is genuinely baffling as things are constantly on the up with only the occasional blip along the way.

Arthur Morgan Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 We need more than 2 or 3 imo. We need a creative central midfielder, a goalscoring central midfielder ala Hartley/Cameron (although Clare may be the answer now) and 2 quality wingers who can cross. Maybe a fast poacher type goalscorer too, obviously Halkett as well. Get rid of Doyle, bring in a quality keeper and keep Bobby as a sub. 7 signings isn't that much.

CL & AB are doing everything they can to make us successful and we should be doing everything we can to help, Getting on CL or AB's case every bad result etc is not helping. Back them for god sake through thick and thin. They stepped up to help us when we were on our knees its time for the haters to start stepping up and helping our manager when he is struggling because we 100% know that we all want the same and that is very rarely the case in Scottish Football. Be careful what you wish for. Believe me our club and the stability we have IS the envy of nearly every club in Scotland whether they would admit to that or not. Lets back the lads for the final push and get ready for another crack next season> Correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing stopping her from handing out 300 year contracts, dressing up as a lumberjack, downing a bottle of white lightning and burning Tynecastle down either, then ripping of her face to reveal she is actually a pirate from Davey Jones locker here to enslave all land creatures. But it ain't happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 4 hours ago, Enzo Chiefo said: It's noticeable that he's signed up all the big defensive players on contracts, although Souttar is an important player to have under contract. I don't think CL will be manager next season so hopefully the pace, width and creativity problems ,that have been overlooked for seasons now, will be solved by the new gaffer. Manager builds from the back, ensures a steady defence shocker. Most managers build from that way, if not all. I did think CL would leave no matter what, but I think, based on that he's here to stay so get your yourself strapped in. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB GIN Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 4 hours ago, Tasavallan said: Things are moving along nicely as far as I am concerned. Defensively, assuming Halkett joins and Hughes departs, Levein has the defence signed up until June 2020 at earliest: Doyle 06/2020 Zlamal 06/2021 Baur 06/2020 Berra 06/2021 Dikamona 06/2020 Garruchio 06/2021 Godinho 06/2020 Hamilton 06/2020 Smith 06/2021 Souttar 06/2022 White 06/2021 No one is knocking him defensively that’s what the problem is I am afraid we need pace width creativity and a decent striker get that sorted and we have a team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am i happy with that?......Bloody right I am. For any club outwith the ugly sisters to compete at the top end in the SPL need stability and continuity, Sacking managers every bad season and starting again only wastes money and money is scarce outwith the uglies. We have a Hearts man in charge of our team and a Hearts women running the show, Anyone who doesn't think that is a good thing are mad. Id bet you every fan of every other Scottish league team Celtic apart would love to be in our position....A Hearts fan looking after the club and Hearts fan running the football. That doesn't mean they wont make mistakes but it does mean that we know every single decision is made with our clubs best interest at heart. The same certainly couldn't be said for a new club from the West coast. Things aren't perfect but they are getting better and they are being built not for this season or next but for the long standing and hopefully successful future of our club. Knowing that your manager isn't going to walk out and leave a project half done when a club coming waving cash at him can only be good for us. We have improved on and off the field, the football certainly isn't the best to watch at present but we are improving. A well known manager at Man U took time to be successful! CL & AB are doing everything they can to make us successful and we should be doing everything we can to help, Getting on CL or AB's case every bad result etc is not helping.

Lets back the lads for the final push and get ready for another crack next season> Well put. But there are lessons to be learnt. We need to be an attacking force and stop wasting money on players we don’t need - Hughes, Edwards, Sammon and Martin to name a few. Overall agreeing with you.
