To have a thread criticising him is disrespectful. So much to enjoy today. Slating Berra is a very poor reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communist Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 To say we didn't miss them isn't a dig. Just reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riccarton3 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Another way of putting this is Stendel is recognising in very quick time and very impressively who he needs and who he doesn't for the good of the club. No player is more important than that, no matter their status. Edited January 18, 2020 by Riccarton3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulraney couldn't command a start at Inverness which tells me he was never going to cut it at us. He also had the heart the size of a pea for me.

Christophe in his two spells for Hearts has been one of the bravest players I have seen. I believe he cares so much about the club that his statement in the press, was due to him knowing it is over and he is unlikely to appear in Maroon again. I know I would be gutted, so some respect is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Delighted to have Souttar back and I’m a big fan but I thought him and Halkett were a bit ropey today.

Rocky jamboa Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 And mclean! Stendel realises in a few weeks that mclean, wighton and mulraney are not good enough for Hearts.

jock _turd Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I think the problem with posters on here is that no matter how well a player has shown in previous games as soon as he has had a bad one he becomes shite... of course the opposite is also true ... Clare, on the evidence of today's game, is a player again donchano in the eyes of many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Dan Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Sadly Berra is finished at this level but drastic actions were needed. We need younger legs at the back participating in moving the ball about quicker. The others had their day and chance.
