He looks like he's developed massively, bulked up, has pace, can cross as well as knowing where the net is himself. Given the chance gr8 could do well for us this season.

Cruyff Turn Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 1 hour ago, Taffin said: You must not have watched much of Hearts under Paolo Sergio then for starters. I'm not saying we've often played 'tippy tappy' football (whatever that is), but we've had plenty of teams who haven't played in a fashion that's soley reliant on a non-scoring striker winning set piece opportunities. Direct football doesn't equate to firing a ball at your striker who tries to win a set piece to score from. The 05/06 team scored many goals from working the ball on the deck with through balls, shots from distance and working it wide and getting crosses into the box. Our current style of play is nothing like that team. I saw plenty of PS borefest season. In the cup final that season we played direct, which was the game changer. The 05/06 side went back to front a lot, difference was we had Janny and Roman upfront and other teams couldn’t cope with their strength or ability to control the ball with a single touch and play it into Skacel or Hartley. I know what you’re saying though, I think we’ve played in the manner you’ve described during the 2nd half of last season because we had nothing else other than set pieces. We play differently however when Naismith was fit and we did try to work it through midfield a bit more. I think things will be different this season now that we have different options. There’s definitely more to us than a punt to Uche now (averting an injury crisis). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E6 Inc Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 3 fantastic signings so far with Naisy still to come in, great work so far. We should be treating Aidy White like a new signing too - if he can get himself back fit he'll a very decent player for us.

If Souttar goes I would like him to get replaced. It would just take Berra or Halkett to get injured and we’d be back to playing out of position or relying heavily on youth. Signing Halkett gave us the necessary depth, but for me that was on the proviso that Souttar stayed. If we play with two CHs, then it’s probably Souttar and Berra with Halkett and Dikamona in reserve. Three CHs and it’s Souttar, Berra and Halkett with Dikamona (and M. Smith I guess) in reserve. Would like to see Petkov, Baur and Hamilton start to step up this season as well as I think Dikamona will be away in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think we'd definitely need another CB as back up for Halkett and Berra. Dikamona I like a lot and I'm a bit surprised he didn't get more game time compared to Shaughnessy. Not seen enough of Hamilton and Petkov to tell if they can step up but can't say I was impressed at all with Baur, he looked miles away from our standard.

Seems stronger and a bit more composed on the ball, with a Fultonesque left peg. Maybe Lee could play as a more deep lying midfielder to knock the ball about, if Walker/ Naisy/ Edwards play further forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mdoug79 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Levein isn’t daft, I have a feeling he already knows that Djoum is staying hence why we aren’t looking at a CM, I think the one more is a CF? I’d like it to be Cummings, we could be done with some needle, a different approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
