Sagan Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 He's absolutely fuming and is done with being nice. Had to apologise for swearing. Welcome to our world Craig. I like what he had to say but it doesn't make up for his baffling team line ups, formations and tactics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearts00 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 He needs to be reading the absolute riot act. But the problem is he’s underperforming as much as the players. And even if you excuse the terrible formation, he is the one who didn’t sign a wide player in 2 off seasons leaving us with Mulraney and he is the one getting Zero out is Sean Clare. He is also the one that signed Damour on a 4yr contract and he is an utter waste of a jersey. Neither defensive nor attacking and slow.

hearts00 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Just read some of his comments. Interesting, he’s not gone down the road of turning on the players yet. He’s also saying certain players won’t play soon when the injured players come back. But we only really have Naismith and Haring coming back. Not as if 6 players are back in the next month. Funny that he’s turned on the players today of all days. When we had the most players missing and he was responsible for a despicable first half.

Der Kaiser Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) He sounded very angry and also upset. He basically said some players were simply not trying and with big players to come back they wouldn't be playing and shouldn't be knocking on his door to ask why.It wasn't f>>>>>ng good enough I think he said. He also said hed gone on too long defending certain players. He did deflect questions about criticism on him though.

neilnunb Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 At about 80mins, Hickey was beaten to a ball in the corner by a Killie boy who won a throw in despite Hickey being much closer. Not a dig at Hickey as such but it just summed up the lack of desire and fight in this Hearts team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Very few of them played with any urgency. Some scared, some not caring (IMO). That's down to the manager, he has lost them with pathetic negative tactics. Back to the days of McGlynn and a shot on target being a wonderful achievement.

bighalders Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Pretty much all our key players have had injuries however what is the point of having a squad of 35 if you are totally utterly pish when you get injuries surely you have a squad of 24 but better quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Seems he has now decided to put it on some of the players, interesting, given he picked them. Seems to be making out there are some with a lack of desire, if he had any concern about that at all, why even bother putting them in regardless of injuries. Once you go down this road, loosing the dressing room is not far behind. He needs to go. Its just not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
