Hearts1975 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Pretty solid from what I saw. He has quick feet the good thing is that you can see clearly that he isn’t match fit. Needs work on his fitness so that means he should improve when that happens He doesn’t shirk a tackle as well and we were a bit lightweight in the DM position Hopefully and it is early days but he can get his fitness right and drive the play forward That’s what we brought him into do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungry hippo Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Was surprised to see a thread about him as he was neither great or poor. Looks like he can play a bit with decent attitude but hard to tell either way yet about whether he'll be a first pick longer term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Goss Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Didn’t think much of him tbh. Poor first half but improved when Walker came on. His style doesn’t suggest he is the type of midfielder we are crying out for, i.e. energetic creative midfielder. I think Ryan Edwards despite his failings as a footballer could’ve been the right type for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getintaethem Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 There were spells in the game we kept possession well and he was involved in a lot of that. An excellently weighted ball in the first half nearly had us through on goal, but Washington had strayed offside. Would like to see more defensive work from him, looks like it may take a few games for him to fully settle in. Decent so far, but hasn’t made the impact that Boyce and Sibbick have.

been here before Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Never noticed him until the 2nd half at the game v Killie last week and as I couldnt make the game last night I only noticed him on the telly last night when the commentator called him Stendal. Not necassarly a bad thing not to get noticed. Quiet German efficiency. Six months and we'll know.

Batistuta87 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Needs to get up to pace but looks like a clever player, can ping a pass, and gets stuck in. Could be a player when he's fully fit and playing with some confidence. On the other hand this could be him fully fit in which case.......

Guest ToqueJambo Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Thought he was quite tidy. Often picked the right pass. Doesn't seem to offer much going forward but if he settles in and gets fitter he looks like he could potentially play a similar role to Gomis in the Championship team - patrolling the midfield to break things up and pass the ball to players who can make things happen.

Obviously don't take this as a direct comparison, but Makelele said if you don't notice him during a game, he is having a good game. I think Langer is there to protect the defence a bit, get the ball back back and move it forward to creative players as quickly as possible. I don't get the impression he is there to make bursting runs through the middle. Although he did play a good through ball for Washington that nearly had him through on goal. It's also his second game in a foreign league. I thought he looked very decent on the ball, had a bit of a dig/fight about him, and from what I remembered, hardly gave the ball away.

Quality coverage from the BBC yet again... not that you could see most of the game through their camera lenses. Pathetic! Anyway, back to topic, I think Langer looks good.

Wisely keeping it simple but takes up good positions and simple passes that go to a team mate. Sounds a bit like Boz, Whelan, Damour etc Langer looks like a Levein signing.

TheTrumpet Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I don't think that was the game to judge him. New teammates, lower division team playing quute a physical game, cup tie, dodgy surface and hideous weather. The words 'Culture Shock' probably don't quite cover it for Herr Langer. Players from more technical leagues need several games to adjust to the pace of the Scottish game. Judge Langer after 5 or 6 games, you'll know what he has in his locker by then.

jambonian Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Hard to say what he'll be like. I actually forgot he was playing until the second half when I heard his name but the soggy camera shots made it very difficult to watch him play. What bothers me is that over the last few years we've been inundated with defensive midfielders, far too many and most not any better than the other. We desperately needed to bring in a central defender during the window and here we are yet again bringing in defensive midfielders. Bozanic for example has improved since Stendel came in. Irving can play there and we've got Damour on a four-year contract. Whether he stays or not he'll be on a very decent wage and should be one of the players that's coached the hell out of and getting games. Waste of another wage otherwise. Smith can play in there but said for long enough he should be staying at right back. A lot of the goals we've lost lately have come from that area of the park yet folk still want to see Clare there. He's a midfielder, not a right-back and is much more productive getting forward. It's not too much to expect a recognised right-back playing that position. Less for Clare to worry about behind him as well with the big gaps that are there every time he gets forward. Signing Langer was never a priority position, a goalie, defender and striker were but we have to hope he'll be better than some we've signed over the last few years. Sibbick can also play in there, in fact, he was excellent against Rangers in there and not great when he went back to left back. Hopefully not another square peg in round holes situation is about to happen....again! Edited February 10, 2020 by jambonian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
