Cruyff Turn Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Miles out of your depth. Not top 6 standard players unfortunately.

The ones mentioned weren’t even on the same level. But you’re right, it’s a joke and an embarrassment how bad we have been for 2 and a half seasons. Beyond unacceptable.

Burns isn’t quick enough or technically good enough. Tries hard, would never say he doesn’t give less than his all. Unfortunately, trying hard isn’t enough. Uche might be joining them soon enough if he continues to constantly give away fouls, finish poorly and keeps playing awful passes. Need better than that.

CalMac Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I missed the first 25m so didnt hear the team lineup. Until he was subbed i didnt realise Lee was playing. Burns is playing due to injuries but isnt good enough yet to play regularly against better sides. Smith to left back and either Godinho or Brandon at right is needed.

Rocky jamboa Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 We've got a team of losers. Even at 1, 2 and 3 nil down, and 3-1 down, there's no urgency to get back into the game. It's like they're quite satisfied to "only" lose 3-1 v rangers. We've had (slightly) worse Hearts teams ability wise but I can't ever remember a hearts team with as little fight or desire as this one. Wighton, Lee and McLean especially are not good enough to be playing at this level, let alone Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copa-mundial Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Olly Lee is utterly horrendous. Has no impact or influence on any game. Everything is negative about him. Can't run, can't tackle, can't pass. Wants too many touches of the ball, slows the game down. Doesn't get involved, hides, has one decent set piece out of 15. In fairness you could have a go at the whole entire team right now. Not just single out individuals.

amadjambo Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 2 hours ago, Finlay James said: They're all decent players, it's the system they are being asked to play that is the problem Disagree. Wighton and Bozanic are terrible players. Burns is well out of his depth at left back, but he was signed as one for the future. I quite like Lee but he needs players with legs around him, and he didn’t have that today. Far far too many terrible signings have been made under Levein’s leadership. What I’d give to see us signing guys like Hastie and Turnbull from Motherwell, but sadly our money has been wasted on guys like Sammon, Martin, Bozanic, Vanacek, etc etc. Hope to God Levein can somehow lead us to a Cup Final victory before calling it a day, and a few others follow him.

He was honking against Hibs, although a few on here disagree. And he was rotten today. Didn’t manage to break into Livi’s team this season either, although I’ve no idea if he had any injuries or not. He’s a Hearts player so I’d guess he probably did. Anyway, not even remotely got enough pace to make it as a full back. Gives me the fear thinking of him being up against Forrest or Sinclair in the Cup Final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and it's not the first time either. Going back since the likes of Watt and Kitchen were around, all looked pretty decent then fell away, just like a few of this seasons signings, Lee a good example. For me the football can be too zonal. He tells players what to do and I believe it stops their creativity. I think back to last season when we had Milinkovic, always tried to move around the pitch to create. A couple of times when he did what he wanted, Levein was getting on to him about it. I remember he drifted across from the left to the right side in one game then held his arms to the side as if to say to Levein…"what? I'm trying to create something here!" The guy behind me shouted something like "fuxake Levein, leave the laddie alane, least he's trying!" Kind of sums it up a bit for me.
