Jason Dufner Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 5 hours ago, Ribble said: Weight of pass? Harings a cracking player with high energy, breaking up the play, winning the ball back and an aerial threat but his passing is simple and more often than not safe. A lot of the time when he is on the ball he looks like a centre half in midfield. Great player but absence is making your heart grow fonder with regards to his passing abilities! Totally disagree with that. Haring was the one man last season after the first couple of months who tried to keep the ball moving forward and us on the front foot. Absolutely zero recollection of him being negative/safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of cover from the midfield when he went forward was startling. He actually found himself in a similar situation when red carded against Aberdeen, both centre backs were asleep for the free kick. Not sure he was. He probably played more games than he should have due to injuries but his performances were on him. He wasn't as bad as many made out either tho.

Absolutely zero recollection of him being negative/safe With you here. He was also very good at 40 and 50 yard balls to wide men either on the run or on to their chests. He'd often follow that up by bursting into the box for the cross. I think it's subconscious but he's seen as a defensive mid because we thought he was a CH at first. That means he's solid and safe in folks eyes, despite evidence to the contrary. It's like the lazy Djoum thing. There was a goon on here suggesting that Smith got hurt as he has poor shooting technique!! Suggested he shouldn't be taking shots as he lacks the ability! He's an RB or defensive player, right? So must be so shite at shooting he hurts himself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 We are struggling this season because our midfield is lacking the governance and ability to retain the ball that both Haring and Djoum offered. Cup final was a great example of how disciplined and competent these 2 are at the highest level of our game. Sean Clare scenario is amusing me no end too. Just as he was never that bad, nor has he turned into Trent Alexander. The extremes people reach never cease to amaze. Go back and watch games over is a good way to look at players. Why I enjoy Alba coverage, probably like most folk match day I'm too wrapped up in the game and miss a fair bit of detail. People tend then to centre on the really good or bad bits. Reality is often confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hearts striker has been frozen out by new Tynecastle manager Daniel Stendel and is now training with the reserves. A January return to Dundee for the ‘Doon Derby’ hero looked to be on the cards but the Dark Blues failed to match the salary demands of the Premiership’s bottom club. Boss James McPake confirmed last week: “We have been priced out of making a move for Craig Wighton. Hearts’ demands were too high for us.” The Courier understands that Arbroath have put together a package that is acceptable to the Jam Tarts. There are other lower league clubs interested but the Red Lichties are the frontrunners and Wighton could even be in line for a weekend debut at Gayfield against Partick Thistle. The Arbroath board are backing manager Dick Campbell in his efforts to keep the Angus club in the Championship, with Forfar’s Dale Hilson joining from neighbours Forfar. Wighton moved to Hearts two years ago for a fee of £150,000.

CJGJ Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Well there is money to spend it seems and that is good to hear..... 'Advijaj isn’t likely to be the only arrival this window, but Stendel didn’t want to put a number on how many more players he wants to sign. He added:"I won't say we need three or four players, we need players that can help us. We need the right player, we can pay for him and he wants to come.”' https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/daniel-stendel-hearts-transfers-how-21327896 Edited January 21, 2020 by CJGJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good defensive midfielder. His passing is Ok for that role. Good team player, strong, good in the air, reads the game well. But he is a safe passer of the ball.
