Jodami Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I don't think Stendel is a bad appointment but it was a dangerous appointment in the circumstances. Appointing a "philosophy" coach mid season was always going to be a big gamble and this was pointed out by a few people at the time. It takes time for players to learn how to play systems and our squad was lacking in the basics anyway. Pray we stay up and then we can properly judge Stendel next season.

Cruyff Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Early days. Plenty of games left to play but aye, he needs to beat Hamilton and St Mirren. Better Hearts teams have been scudded by worse Celtic teams at Parkhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris5115 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Feckin joke that we are this state. We have been going back the way the best part of 3 years now. Given the money that is pumped into this club by fans and benefactors ect this is total mismanagement of the highest level and anyone who thinks different is deluded. This club needs cleansed starting at the top. Teams like Livingston Kilmarnock St Johnstone have a fraction of our budget but are sitting more comfortable than us. Worrying times.

MCW1976 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Stendel, I hate to say, is now risking the wrath of the support. Quite simply, it doesn’t need Alex Ferguson to turn Hearts around in the amount of time DS has been here. Results have been atrocious. No escaping that. He continues to get my support, but more in hope than expectation. Lose on Saturday, and he can kiss the honeymoon goodbye. He’ll be fighting for his job.

Haken Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Posters still raging that Levein wasn’t sacked long long ago. Raging won’t change anything about that though it might harm your blood pressure. Stendel has effectively been given half a season to avoid relegation. It’s not as if he’s having to do it with a squad of laddies and a 15 point deficit. He’s brought players in and moved players out. If he doesn’t avoid relegation, then it’s a failure.

richiehmfc Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 We haven’t won at parkhead in 11 years.

busby1985 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 No. Plan A works, he just can’t continue with poppadom hands. St Johnston. 5 shots on target, 3 goals. Killie. 5 shots on target, 3 goals. Celtic. 7 shots on target, 5 goals. Everything we do starts from and comes from the keeper. He makes everyone nervous. We can’t stop teams creating chances, even Liverpool, Man City and the likes can’t do that. What they do have tho is a keeper that can at least protect their goal. Every shot is pretty much a goal with Joel. In 3 league games he’s faced 17 shots and conceded 11 goals. That is insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t mind if it was like a confidence type thing, like Clare. But everything Joel does is wrong, he is just a poor keeper. His positioning is wrong, his diving technique is wrong, his hands are made of rice paper, his decision making is wrong. He is hopeless.

Debut 4 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I think his problem is the players mentality. How constantly bad do we have to be at starting the 2nd half for the manager to realise he’s got weak links? Fingers crossed we stay up and he has the chance to rectify this in the summer. In the short term he really needs to find a way to get the right reaction from this team at the beginning of the 2nd half. Maybe needs to work at a defensive shape to consolidate in the game and not give anything away cheap and too quickly to compensate for weak players.
