Bunny Munro Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 2 hours ago, Pasquale for King said: Didn’t have a pass to his feet the whole game, must’ve wondered what he got himself into. Dauda was the classic 'needed time to adjust to Scottish football' player. The fans wanted a replacement for Osman Sow. Still left with a reasonable 1 in 3 goal ratio.

He was excellent under Csaba in CDM before doing well at CB when Berra was sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgecowie Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 George Cowie! Actually, no. He's probably rated about right. I would have liked to have seen more of dario zanatta. Saw him have a great game for the reserves at tynie a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot since 86 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Going for one which I think isn’t mentioned - Ruben Palazuelos. Played everywhere in that side. Remember being top of the league away at St Mirren and he was immense. Kevin Kyle up front that night who gets under rated a lot as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomaso Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 3 hours ago, Renoir said: How about Patrick Kisborbo, Kevin McKenna or Robert Thomaschek? Skippy on Ice as Kisnorbo was known. He was a centre half however Levein had him like a duck out of water at LB or midfield. McKenna was another Centre half that Levein stuck in at Centre forward - is there a trend here? i thought Tomascek Was a disappointment TBH.

Couldn’t pass or cross the ball, gave me the fear every time Riordan lines up against him. Every team in the league gave him space because he couldn’t do anything with it, like Berra or Lewis Stevenson. Spot on! Robbie’s second touch was a tackle!

Quite versatile player as well. Good player for us. Don’t think he was as effective without Gomis but, together thought they were great. Davie Weir, Ritchie, Cowie, Pallardo, Berry, Whittaker, Iain Jardine so many others. Not spectacular but solid dependable. I know Weir became a bit of a prick when he left but his reaction at the final whistle in 98 cup final sums him up for me. Everyone around him goes bananas. He closes his eyes and smiles. Satisfied.

Pasquale for King Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Ok let’s make this thread a bit more controversial, what else do we have to do. I always thought that Scott Robinson was going to go on to be a great player. Nearly every manager he had at Hearts rated him, Sergio making him vice captain for instance, but his height held him back. He had ability, a good reader of the game, quick, happy to tackle. He didn’t really master a position and wanted to stroll about in front of the back four and play sideways instead of forward. Glad he’s back in the top league. Ok bring it on!!!!!!

I played with him at hutchy before he moved to hearts. He was rated as one of, if not the best prospect in Scotland. I think he had a plethora of offers from around the UK to choose from before choosing hearts. He never quite kicked on though. I remember coming from my under 16s Cowdenbeath game straight to tynie and seeing his debut. It was a very strange experience as I was very much still a child!

Spellczech Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) 16 hours ago, copa-mundial said: Julien Brellier. It was due to him holding and covering the midfield that made Hartley and Skacel so prolific in attack. A lot on here at the time slated Brellier, saying he brought nothing to the team. A liability some said. Brellier was a guaranteed booking, but he covered the LB position too when Takis was pushing upfield. Only person in Tynecastle who underrated him was Vlad I thought... I'm not convinced Defensive Midfielders are ever underrated, just it is a postion which does not get the adulation from fans or the headlines from the media. Even Kante seldom gets the headlines...
