Lovecraft Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Pereira is up there with the worst keeper I have seen playing for us. I've been watching Hearts for about 35 years. Struggling to actually think of a worse one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The boy must have a cracking agent. He can't even save shots that are straight at him ffs he ducks out the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had a look at the video and it brought everything back, he was doing that thing of actually getting out of the way of the ball. I've been watching Hearts for more than 60 years and I can confim that he is easily the worst goalie I've ever seen. I also had a wee look at the fans website and they've got their share of plonkers and bigots by the look of it, fortunately a number of their fans also chipped in to put them right.

Kurskis was 10 x better. We are arguing over the two worst ever goalkeepers in Hearts' history. I think the difference is that Kurskis got binned after dropping the ball in two consecutive games (he might even have got sent off in the latter from memory, leaving an outfield player in goals - forgotten who it was). The same thing should have applied to Pereira - once its blatantly obvious you can't cut it then that should be your time at the club over. You have to question the manager's judgement when that doesn't happen. Edited November 24, 2020 by frankblack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Marsh Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) The difference is Kurskis actually tried to at least catch the ball instead of ducking out the way.😂 Kurskis howler was in the last minute away to Rangers which cost us a point. It was almost a replica of Gordon's howler away at Celtic a year before. He was sent off at home to ICT and Lee Wallace went in goals. We still nearly got a point in that match if I recall. Think we lost 3-2. Meant to quote frankblack. Edited November 24, 2020 by Randy Marsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not expecting a ticket like him rocking up to Tynie with that pedigree.🤦🏻♂️ That’s a decent point, Sheffield United got Dean Henderson from Man Utd last season and he’s a top quality keeper. As you say you don’t expect Man U to have signed someone as poor as Perreira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Even still seeing this imposter play for another team makes me angry. How has he made it onto the books of Man Utd? He has nothing about him as a keeper. Even in the warm ups he never used to save anything. I would put him down as the worst I have ever seen in a Hearts shirt (including Lee Wallace's and Iain Baird's cameos in goal). Can anyone genuinely remember him making a good save? The number one reason we are where we are is because he couldn't save anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The particularly enraging thing is, the fans could see he was shite and not up to the job after 2 or 3 appearances, but he somehow went on to play dozens of more games. Stendel identified Berra as a problem early on, blows my mind that he missed the memo on the hologram. We all know ultimately that single decision cost him his job and cost us our premiership place Edited November 24, 2020 by A_A wehatethehibs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 From the look of the documentary I think Stendal was tempted to fire Stone in. Huddersfield second keeper is probably better than what we had sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasavallan Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 The recruiting of Pereira last season and Frear this season, begs the question how does a club sign players without a scout doing a thorough background check. Is it just a matter these days of looking up the vacant list? Before coming on loan to Hearts he was out on loan to other clubs for the 4 seasons following joining Man Utd in 2015. I assume he showed some talent when with Xamax/Switzerland U15s/U16s before he dropped his ability. Woeful player and contributed most to Hearts demise on the pitch last season.

He's played in 3 competitive first team games for Manchester United. I suspect what the scouts are seeing is that he's exceptional with the ball at his feet, which with the modern trend for high press and sweeper keepers is a useful asset. His shot stopping is the poorest I've ever seen in a goalkeeper though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the worst keeper, the worst player I've ever seen get more than a couple of games in the same timeframe. Awful and the signs were there form his early games when he had a few near things. Incredible he's still a Man Utd player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly sure that few clubs do in-depth checks for short term loans. Most clubs carry at least 2 main keepers and it is unlikely they will allow them to go on loan so at best we're going get a 3rd choice loanee.. In fact Pereirs was probably 4th choice as Dean Henderson was out on loan to Sheff U but somehow was rated by his compatriot manager Jose. As an aside we haven't done very well with loanees in any position. N'goo, McCallum, Langer quckly spring to mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
