VagabondJambo Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Clare had a very good first half. Apart from not scoring a second goal, the first half TEAM performance was good (so long as it went nowhere near Berra). The right side (Hickey, Clare, Mulraney, with Meshino always eager for the ball) was working really well. Then . . . when they come out for the second half, Clare had been moved over to the left side - not even forward left. WHY? From that moment on, there was no threat from the right side, and the whole organisation of the team was a mess. Clare needs to play in the role he played the first half. I think he and Meshino will link up well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramrod Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 He's probably been our best player in the two home games to date There is still more to come from him no doubt about it . Needs a boot up the arse to up his workrate and he's not far way imo . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall Clare done well but needs to play to this level and higher each week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Considering the whole team went missing second half, it’s unfair to single him out. Good first half, good goal. Not enough thereafter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning teams have a side and players that play for 90 mins + this squad isn't bad compared to the rest outside the bum cheeks, but the management team must take a lot of the blame for not sending them out organised and with attitude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

been here before Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Just because its now traditional to do the Clare thread after the game... I thought he had one of his better games today taking his goal well. Might have cintributed to another if he'd looked up during the first half and saw Hickey standing in acres of space by the touchline but decided to go himself. I think its the first time Ive ever saw him put a winning tackle in too. Unfortunately could have done a lot more if he hadnt vanished in the 2nd half. Id give him pass marks for today.

tokyowalnut Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 One of our best 3 players today. Yes, he could have been stronger in the challenge for the 2nd goal but where did Berra go?

The team as a whole (Berra aside who is utterly dreadful) is actually full of good players.

Jambosteve1902 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Sorry but i felt this was needed after weeks of defending the guy in threads so we now see what he offers? Hes the only guy who runs behind.

Stephen Muddie Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I'm beginning to think that the main reason the majority even post on here is to get at other Hearts fans. Pathetic. I'll add some on-topic content: Even a broken clock is correct twice a day; Sean Clare played one of his best games in maroon today; Being right or wrong on the internet is wholly insignificant.

By completely ignoring the subject matter and personally attacking me, you have proven to everyone that not only do you lack intelligence, but also balance and grace. Ironically, in ignoring the subject matter and attacking me you also come across as not only weak- as you accuse me, but also cowardly. Base on your response I give you no benefit of the doubt. I fully expect the above to reflect your personality and not only in football matters, but thanks, anyway for affording me the courtesy. I apologise, reading back it really does come across as personal and regardless of your personal opinion on Sean Clare and delighting in Hibs winning the Scottish Cup I shouldn't have posted what I did. I'm sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboT Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I’ve said it before, but I think he upsets the balance of our team. First ten games of last season we won 8, drew one and lost one. Clare had one sub appearance. He then starts against Hibs at home and is pretty much an ever present for the rest of the season and we only win 7 out of the next 28 games. Now I’m not blaming him, as I know we had injuries, however, I just don’t think he fits into our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gashauskis9 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Folk pinning the second goal on Clare 😂😂😂. The boy that scored still had to stroll past 3 defenders and Doyle didn’t move on his goal line. I’d rather see a midfielder lose the ball in the middle of the park trying to do something positive for the team than see a bunch of defenders struggle with the basics - just a personal preference of mine.

The Internet Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I haven't seen that 2nd goal back yet but the way folk are going on about it I assume Clare THE IMPOSTER blocked off all our defenders that the boy strolled past before the other boy found 10 yards of space to tuck it away.

Covered more ground than any other Hearts player and was effectively playing two positions after Meshino came on. As I said in another thread, he was winning tackles that everyone else (Mulraney and White were the worst) was pussying out of. Great work for the goal and had a similar chance minutes earlier by the working hard to get into an advanced position. Also won us a free kick outside the box by running 50 yards with the ball and beating three/four players in the process. Along with Whelan, he’s the only player that showed up yesterday. He tried to make things happen and that’s good enough for me in a team currently devoid of attacking prowess. A good manager would work wonders with this lad (and a few others for that matter).
