Hearts1975 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I still think he is unfit and lacking match practice. Not really desirable at the moment but hopefully he picks up from here Broonie is an utter contemptful wee welt and anyone aiming a kick at him gets my vote but getting sent off in 86 mins when the game is already lost is sheer stupidity Hardly what we need at this stage and with the importance of the games coming up that we have 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Ramsay Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Anyone who seen us at Falkirk could see this guy was rubbish. Far too slow and completely off the pace. Suddenly our January window looks a bit shit. We should have signed a centre half and a keeper. Instead we have some boy who thinks hes world class but in the times he has been seen has looked woeful and Bernhard Langer. Boyce and Sibbick arent going to save us. A decent goalkeeper might have though. Souttar and Halkett can't be trusted either like ****ing Laurel and Hardy these two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmiyaHearts Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Few Celtic fans in work today giving him heavy pelters. Asked if he was overweight or just really unfit? It's a weird signing as the guy has only played in German regional leagues - that's maybe why he looked like he found his level v Falkirk. But a severe lack of options in midfield means he gets game time and will likely result in our relegation. We have no quality whatsoever in midfield. Anyway, he needs to improve drastically. And Immediately. No room for passengers in this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Was not a fan of Olly Lee but I think his return from loan would have helped us more than signing Langer. Stendel shipped out most of the right players in January though I think Berra would have helped us more than the hapless Halkett. But Boyce apart and one good game from Sibbick his signings have not been what we needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Said in another thread recently that Langer and Avdijaj were not signings we needed. Defensive midfield is covered by Bozanic, who notably improved along with Clare in Stendel's first few games, Irving can play there, Sibbick, Smith if needed and this is actually Damour's position. Why isn't he being coached the life out of to get him up to speed? There's no way he can be any worse than the likes of Langer. He's had Championship and Premier experience for a start, unlike Langer so I don't get this signing at all. He is also on a big wage having came from down south, and a long-term contract. As for Avdijaj...been at some big clubs so must have something. Starting to think he's just another soccer nomad who floats around making money all over Europe without making any major impact anywhere. He's about a month down now on a six month contract, this is worrying. He is another waste of a wage when you had Walker and Meshino (even the young lads) to work with. Why the goalie and central defender positions (especially after Berra left) were not a priority is unbelievable! We definitely sorted the forward position out with Boyce but another needs to be sourced. Washington, for all his work-rate isn't scoring, Uche is a handy menace to bring on when needed to take the pressure off his team-mates like he did against Rangers but doesn't score either. Stendel now needs to realise that maybe he needs to adjust his own way of playing. I thought he was right to play three at the back against Falkirk but, it needs to be played by players comfortable in their own recognised positions, not Dikamona, a right sided defender playing on the left. It's all abig mess and will still take around 18 months to put the damage right that was left behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To maximise our chances of staying up Jack Ross does look like he might've been a better option. With Levein still hiding behind the curtains I think that might've been a non-starter though. Is there not some history there? If (and it's looking a bigger if as the weeks go by), Stendel does keep us up by the skin of our teeth, I think he's be a more exciting prospect than Ross in the longer term.

You can see a bit potential the way he wants to play and I just can’t get my head around why we can’t do it for even 65-75 minutes a game.
