andythejambo Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Just watched the highlights of their Euro qualifier - couple of ex Jambos featured. Miko, who appeared to be playing full back, was sent off, and Novikovas scored a late equaliser. Lithuania ended up with 9 men, after a second red in stoppage time.

No he really really wouldn’t. He wasn’t even a guaranteed first choice, him and chesny were always battling for that spot. Also in no world ever is he a better player than Naismith.

alanjambo Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I liked Miko a lot but he was very inconsistent. A lot of the time it seemed he was only in the team because he was Lithuanian. When he first came to us, though, he was brilliant. And that goal against Hibs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubyruby Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I follow miko on Instagram.He seems to be doing good at the moment.His team won the league,just unfortunate he wears green.Given the size of him now he could be good for us but at 35 some may think hes too old.

Dayman Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Miko chesny and novi would all be our best wingers by a country mile right now.

RudiHMFC Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Novikovas has got better since he left us, he'd stroll in to our team these days on ability but maybe not with Levein as manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfhearts Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Mikey you are quite dippit when it comes to assessing players, both were decent on their day and could cross a ball unlike most of our current squad.

boag1874 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Would have Novi back any day.

Brighton Jambo Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Personally just never really got the whole Miko thing. In 2006 he was easily the weakest of our midfield of Rudi, Hartley, Aguiar, Brellier and I also thought Chesny was slightly better. The following season Driver kicked on and was better than him. he had a bit about him which people liked but he was an average player.

ToadKiller Dog Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Miko would likely have developed into a real gem of a player for us if it hadn't been for Davisgate, that set his development back, refs never let him breathe after that day , followed by the disgusting xenophobic shit he faced after he dared to dive at Hampden, calls for him to be deported etc. .

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Naismith not a Hearts player. Even more pedantic. Novikovas has been impressive any time I see him for Lithuania.

I wasn’t actually a big fan of Miko. As said, he was possibly the weakest component of that team. But that team was really, really excellent. The best Hearts team I’ll see in my lifetime. The standard of our current squad is really poor, in comparison. Who do we have who is better than him? Naismith has been the outlier, but right now he is not our player.

If it’s players we currently have plus those it seems we’ll inevitably have next season, then it fundamentally changes the comparison. Is the Miko we had better than the Naismith we’ve had on loan and will likely sign for next season? Absolutely not. Is he better than anyone else we have? Yes, in my opinion.

I suppose it depends by what you mean by better. If we had to make a trade I wouldn’t swap and in form Miko for Souttar. Think Souttar will go on to have a better career, but difficult to compare as obvi they play completely different positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid Sexy Flanders Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I loved Miko. He was treated appallingly by the media and officials in this country after his dive at Hampden. Mind the game at Tynie he came on as a sub and within 30 seconds gave away a free kick, and the ref booked him for "persistent fouling". It was ridiculous, the crowd were going daft and then everyone started to sing his name. He looked devastated and big Zal had to come over and put an arm round him.
