Rods Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Also was going bonkers behind the goal when we scored. Today he was playing like the first few games after he signed. Some real coaching will do this guy a world of good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Scenes Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 This btw. He a good option off the bench. I’d keep him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramagio87 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I think his best role is as a sub when we are struggling to break a side down, nobody can deal with his size or physicality. Did anyone else notice his celebrations when we equalised? He loves Hearts and i think he has a role to play going forward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 In our position we should keep him He offers a different type of forward option and if he played like he did today he is nowhere near a list of players we would want to move on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirt of 98 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The big man was just what was needed at the end. Rangers were tired and am sure the last thing a tired man wants is a physical battle with a fresh Uche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number-16 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Sure he was signed as someone who offered something a bit different and who could come off the bench. He was never meant to be our main striker, then Lafferty got sold, Naismith got injured and then him and MacLean were all we had. If he is happy to fight for a place I'm more than happy to keep him.

Called 2-1 Hearts days ago ... I love Uche and would like him to stay. Very good option to have alongside Washington, Naismith and Boyce. Think things look a lot more positive now. Since the Aberdeen game we’ve gone from strength to strength. We just need to start winning against the bottom six teams and we will be sound.

Tennant's 6's Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 With better coaching, he could be a team asset, esp as other have said, coming off the bench against tiring defenders. It seemed that MacPhee was trying to coach him to play a different way/ position when he assumed control, Stendel could improve him like he's done with Clare & Irving etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMJ_1874 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Uche was great when he came on. Didn’t see him once throw himself to ground. Definitely a good 20 minute impact sub. I wouldn’t bin him as he’s a great option off the bench. He can bully defences and open up gaps for our forwards. Was like the Uche when he first signed. Went stale and lazy under the previous regime. Take a bow big man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack D and coke Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 He’s frustrating at times the big man but I genuinely like him and he seems to have feelings for us too. Id like him to stay he’s a handful when he’s on form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haken Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Thread reflects the conversation I was having with my mate on our way to get the train home (cancelled, cheers Scotrail).

kila Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 As a sub like that is Uche's best use, so definitely worth keeping now we have some other strikers to start the game out Give him 15-20 mins to run around full of energy giving tiring centre backs and full backs a whole new dimension to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansel Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Think he tries hard but gets too involved in physical battles at times. If he focused on trying to find space in the box and losing his marker instead of trying to battle defenders then he might be more effective. Look at Boyce for both our goals today.... found space then made the killer pass/slotted home. It's about knowing when to battle and knowing when to find space. Boyce can do a bit of both As others have said, a frustrating player Edited January 26, 2020 by Ted (Theodore) Logan Forgot stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryJTlaw Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 He was the same at Dingwall, last 20mins changed the way we approached going forward but today was even better as we had more options alongside with Boyce, Naisy & Washington.
