Steve MacLean can be as s#### as he likes and he'll play. Young players like Keena and Henderson get 15 minute here and there and it doesn't matter how they play they're likely to be out of the squad next game. Smith, Hickey, Berra, Whellan; surely good enough for this league but they don't seem able to lift the team. Dikamona never lets us down but is always on the bench. Cochrane looks like he's suffering from over exposure too young. What the F### is going on? No fight, no tactics, no heart. New aeroplane banner in the making there. It worked to get rid of Robbie!

portobellojambo1 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 That tonight was just pure and utter fecking garbage, against the worst St Johnstone side I can ever remember seeing in recent years, and they matched us all the way. And we didn't lose tonight because players were out injured, and we aren't sudddenly going to spring back to life when one or two come in. We lost tonight because there was no plan in place, no strategy, no leadership in fact absolutely nothing. That performance tonight had relegation material splattered all over it, we are a rapidly sinking ship that needs new leadership to change the direction. As for Sunday coming, all we can do is hope that Rangers don't score early on or it could get frightening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlander Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I am just home from McDiarmid. I have seen some really shockingly bad games following Hearts over the years, some absolute stinkers, like getting smashed by four and five goals at home by teams like Dundee United and Kilmarnock and the 2013/14 season we went down had some brutal moments. Come on, we've all been there, we can all remember games that will live long in the memory but tonight was a torture chamber. One shot can I recall from tonight's game and even then it barely even earns that title as it did not trouble the keeper. The one game that reminded me of tonight was 21 years ago, the day we lost 2-0 against Dundee at Dens in 1998. That howler of a performance which left us rooted to the bottom of the league and ended with around 80 fans shouting "Robinson Robinson Get Tae F***" at the fringe of the terrace. It was a diabolical performance.Tonight had the same sheer lack of appetite and shocking ineptitude followed by the multiple chants of "I Want You To Go, I Want You To Go, Craig Levein, I Want You To Go." Last year, the night we drew 2-2, in the very same spot as tonight at McDiarmid Park, my dad finally convinced me that Levein is not up to the task. I don't know what else it will take but his time is up. I have supported the man almost every day of his tenure but some of the players he has brought in have been woeful and tonight was as bad as anything I can remember seeing, granted I was not around as some of the old guard on here were for the '70s. Tonight, it became astonishingly clear that this year will be a relegation battle. Time to go while there is a still a chance of survival.

I agree with this. When the change comes, be it now or in a few weeks, we need to get behind these players. They're not the problem here. I don't see a lack of effort, I see a chronic lack of confidence in themselves and in the style/formation they're being asked to play, and a fear of making a mistake in the final third meaning we do nowt. Even Whelan, for all his experience, is struggling. He fell on his erse trying to take a corner on the left side. Mental. I was embarrassed with the reaction to White when him and Smith came to the away end at full times. I still think we've got a decent squad here, and they should get a clean slate under a new head coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point talking about individual performances because the issue is the tactics and manager's inability to raise the tempo of the team against bottom 6 teams, especially away from home. Struggling to make chances but repeatedly ended up with the ball deep in central defence when we started with a throw in or free kick well inside the St Johnstone half. Agree that Smith was the only one to perform OK and even he made some shocking mistakes. Levein is dragging players backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) In modern football it's not enough to just slowly improve. Even if we pick up a couple of wins over the next few weeks with some injured players back, the damage has been done. Fans are fickle but not that fickle. People need a reason to shell out 50 odd quid or whatever (way more than that for families) to pitch up on a Saturday. It needs to be exciting, they need some hope. Levein offers none of that. Our crowds under him in his first spell dipped to levels that were relatively low considering our successive third place finishes. Us exiting admin, FOH, the promotion season, new stand, higher attendances etc. was supposed to be the start of something special. It's a scandal and a tragedy that this is where we are at this stage. It must end. A couple of wins and a fit Steven Naismith ain't going to cut it. Not by a ****ing long shot. This club has so much potential right now and we're pissing every last drop of it away.
