No like Levein that eh!? Remember Levein saying at the start of last season that Olly Lee is homesick so Hearts are not standing his way to find another club. Few weeks at Gillingham and Lee is in the press saying that wasn't the case, he wasn't home sick, he questioned Levein's tactics (as have a few others that have been and gone it seems) to which Levein wasn't happy about at all. Basically, do as I say or you're out the club. Levein has a lot to answer for, but arrogance knows no boundaries. Pretty sure Lee would've been quite happy to hear Levein had been given the chop.

I'm not saying every player was good enough, far from it, but that can also be down to poor recruitment by the manager and scouts. Basically it's a combination of things.

Debut 4 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 1 hour ago, jamboinglasgow said: I agree I think some people dont realise how quite a few players need to be put certain position or style to do well. Some can play well no matter the style and where they are positioned. It often happens with strikers, a player scores 20 goals in a season at a club, is signed by another club and scores a handful. Its not that the player is suddenly a terrible player, its that one club knows how to get the most out of them. I agree, we need to play to players strengths. Though at the same time, if a player doesn't fit the way the team plays which brings out the strengths in other players, its pointless changing that to fit one player. Agree. In time you could see he wasn’t really suited playing just off our defenders as the first port of call in possession. He seemed too cagey being in a tighter area of the park and he isn’t blessed with pace or that acceleration you need to shift opposition players hunting you down. He may have preferred being ahead of that and receiving the ball as a move gathers momentum. 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The annoying thing was last summer when we signed Whelan and damour on big money to replace Olly but neither were an upgrade This 100%. I personally liked lee. Yea he wasn’t the quickest but his distribution and range of passing was very good. If you can get legs around him it works. I.e haring and Irving alongside him will work well I believe. Whelan came in and could tell from his body language he couldn’t give a rats ass about the team and was only there to get into the Ireland squad. Stendel sussed him very quickly. Damour played constantly with his back to the opposite goal when receiving the ball, was slow to press and couldn’t tackle for toffee. How many big goals have we conceded through him switching off on the ball? Can not wait for Robbie to see this in Damour and politely tell him GTF.

You could argue he’s limited and it’s these kinds of players we need to improve on but we never set up to use the strengths of players. It was clear Lee could strike a ball very well. He was tidy enough on the ball if not spectacular. He wasn’t played advanced enough, imo. He should’ve been played further forward , being able to play in that link role between midfield and attack. Picking up loose balls 25, 30 yards out. Over a season we may have seen a decent return on goals and influence. In times he got played in a more advanced role we saw intent to have a go at goal or get into the box. It was all too rare because the management didn’t play that way. Motherwell goal in the league cup and winner v Hibs only really spring to mind where we saw him in games popping up closer to the box or getting in it. Agree. Not Lee's biggest fan, he's slow as feck and couldn't tackle a fish supper but he's a good passer, can hit a ball and a good finisher. He's not a central mid. He's a poor man's Frank Lampard type player who should be given a free role to get forward to create and score. 4 hours ago, GinRummy said: Just about every player who’s helped us sink to a ridiculously low level is being defended somewhere on this forum.

Uncle Buck Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I wasn’t a big fan of Lee but **** me we had to put up with Whelan and Damour last season so anything is better. I think him and Haring will really help. I reckon Lee’s best position is behind the striker anyway and will probably be more of a back up for Naismith.

With the transfer window being open into October, there'll be time to get things done. Surprised that Lee would stay tho, given he wanted to be back in South of England so maybe up to him to force the move. He didn’t want to move back down south that was a blatant lie from a manager trying to pull the wool over someone’s eyes. Lee said in an interview it was nonsense, he had fallen out with Levein over what he laughing called tactics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s more than enough to get us out to he championship should we end up there. Lack of work rate though? Not for me. A few people confusing a lack of pace with a lack of work rate. IMO of course!

It's like the last few seasons where people kept saying 'our team is really good it's just not playing well just now/tactics/injuries'. The reality is our team isn't good, in fact, it's terrible and we're lucky that the Championship is even worse but it won't be a cakewalk unless we add some quality in midfield and defence. The midfield listed in the team above is absolutely dreadful aside from Haring...who hasn't played for over a year. I like Clare, but at rb/rwb, he didn't cut it for me at right midfield. If we go into next season with that 4 man midfield and Haring gets an injury we'll struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo dans les Pyrenees Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Here's what I hope to see if we are in the Championship next year - mainly youth and Bielsa 3 3 1 3 style! Gordon Smith/Souttar Halkett. Sandison/New LCB McDonald/Clare Haring/Irvine Hickey/Moore Cochrane/Lee Naismith Henderson Boyce I think one of Smith or Souttar will go but if not that solves the shortage in defence. I'd like Berra to go now, but suspect he'll stay and be played - if there is a player in Halkett, we are not going to find him playing next to Berra. Hickey might also be sold, but hopefully loaned back. Think also Washington might be sold. I'd get rid of White, Burns, Damour, Wighton and unless. a major attitude change is taking place right now - Walker. Subs: Zlamal/Stone, Brandon, Garuccio, Morrison, Ikpeazu plus whoever from above and some of the reserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Sanchez Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I agree my midfield was powderpuff, but like I say, incomings and outgoings. Smith will go so I would have Clare as an attacking full back with a couple of new wingers. Haring and Lee ain't too bad in the championship if Naismith drops back. If Neilson can sort out the defence and make them happy then Souttar and Halkett will perform better. You could see their frustration under Stendel.

HMFC01 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I am reading they want £20 mil but I read last few weeks his value had dropped to around 14 mill. So they will most likely want sell on fee with add ons to make up the 6 mill. Potential sell on fee at %25 if he's sold for 40 million = 10 mill, so there's your 30 I would guess he could be worth at least 60 million in the future if he doesn't have a melt down.

Our very own invincible's Without Rangers or Hibs in the division this team, its totally achievable. Biggest priority for me is youth though. Need to use the upcoming season to bring as many youngsters up into the first team as possible. Some will make it, others won't. Important to figure that out over the coming season so changes can be made in the following summer. If we do that successfully Robbie will be in a great position for when we do come back up. Heaps of kids, can focus on quality improvements rather than packing the squad out with journeymen (which was a huge problem under Levein IMO).

My point was , in a shit league it is possible another team will win most games as well and make it closer than it should be can only think of icy tho, everyone else looks in bits. Random example, but sticking the likes Chelsea in the top league would mean they should win it but celtic would still be close to them as by default they'll still win the vast number of their games, a shit league with two better teams might be harder to win than one with us being the better and say 4 other teams that all take points of each other.

It was clear that the squad was better than the team last year, and little things would have made a huge difference (getting a proper keeping in Jan, Sibbick staying fit). In 27 games - assuming they play most of them, Boyce and Naismith should be aiming for 40 goals between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
