If he does turn us around, he’ll be off at the first job offer down south. I don’t like his dilly dallying and I would prefer someone more to home. The biggest mistake I think the club has made was in giving all the footballing power and decisions to Levein, when we could have brought in the likes of JJ in advisory roles.

This of course has never happened in my lifetime but still, people assume it will. What is guaranteed however is if Stendel, if he gets the job, is successful at hearts, will be on the first train south as soon as a job becomes available. And yet so many of us are desperate for hearts to sign him. Surely that is the case for almost every player and coach. Proving themselves at one club and moving on when the time and offers are correct. It happens to most clubs if a player or coach does well then a bigger club move in to lure them away. That isbjust how it is in football. Edited November 27, 2019 by wavydavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Maroonblood Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 4 hours ago, Sir Gio said: We will be massacred playing high as we were on Saturday. Why he was sacked, he was unable to adapt to the conditions of the Championship. He turned over players, but decided to make a point by leaving out his most 2 experienced players then complained about lack of experience. I hope he turns out good but there's plenty of risk. I think I would have preferred someone who had proved he could hold a job for longer than a year Is this I told you post in case it goes tits up?

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 1 hour ago, Hearts1975 said: Might be wrong here and I keep hearing the term gegenpress being used. Obviously aware more so through Klopp but isn’t this system when you have 2/3 players harassing the player on the ball, therefore leaving gaps in other areas ? reason I am asking is that Stendel seemingly prefers the counter press but I thought that was a similar thing but without putting 2/3 up against one player and rather each player pressing the opposition and the ball ? Not being obtuse just curious ? If I'm being honest I don't have nearly enough information. Alex Neil commented that Barnsley were very good in the first half hour of most of their matches , reading the match reports seems true, but they then became a soft touch. The one year and out twice with a gap year is probably a bigger issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All doing well or likely to do well. It seems we’re going all in on a relatively unknown quantity. It’s maybe a bit negative on my part, but I do worry about this This is my concern also.

Bottom six, comfortably will be okay personally if we see there’s a structure change and something trying to be developed going into next season and not just diagonals to Uche and pretending we’ve changed the way we play. We have a battle to stay off the bottom at the moment though so winning games of football to begin with is badly required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise that’s a cliche but the Michael Smith interview after the cup semi could be copied and pasted and used to describe a number of games in the last few seasons.

The good thing is it only takes a couple of wins on the bounce to move right up the league - look at Hibs. So long as we steer clear of relegation and hopefully get another wee cup run then most should be satisfied. Then he can have his pre season where he can really be judged from there on in.

Bozi Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Got talking to some guys from the Bathgate bus before the semi final and we were talking over who we wanted. At that stage I wanted Stendel, he wants to play the game the way we like,high intensity,high pressing,inject some excitement into the fans. Playing this way will get Tynecastle rocking and,hopefully a bear pit again. I had kind of given up hope a week ago that we would get him but am getting really excited that the best candidate is getting the job. Would be an excellent birthday present if its announced today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
