We’ll have to agree to disagree. The only people inside Tynecastle that wanted the CG to happen was Budge and McPhee. Stendel wasn’t interested. I never claim to be ITK on here. But I know that.

Must have missed the 2-2 game v Hamilton when defenders gave away both goals with shocking defending, the games we continually lost by just making same mistakes week after week, and the wonderful loan signings from Germany and elsewhere he brought in that were just garbage. You actually thought watching Hearts lose week after week was attractive football. It was garbage, week after week of pish including losing to Hibs at New Year, something most Hearts managers are crucified for. Just look at all the clubs desperate to appoint him since he left Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraggle Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 23 minutes ago, Malinga the Swinga said: Given how he inspired us to defeat in the match against St Mirren, a game we all knew was a must win, no one could say with 1% confidence we would have won any big game we had left. He left because his record was horrific but because he was foreign, chatted to fans, spoke about a Gegenpress, he had his supporters who still refuse to acknowledge he failed. We were picking up points before the St Midden game so there was a glimmer of hope (some big results the games previously, Ross County in free fall, Poppadoms Hands replaced), but probably more blind optimism than anything else. We were rattling through the weekly "must win games" without making up the big ground to help ease the collective sphincter collapse, a point raised on here on more than one occasion. I think by the end of the St Midden game I was done with Stendel, but still felt he deserved the same chance of redemption afforded multiple times to his predecessor. Agree with the last paragraph.

Des Lynam Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Why does it have to become a Stendel vs Neilson competition? Daniel should have made us much harder to beat and then implemented the more attacking side when safe. Must admit though I admire sticking to his philosophies. Levein being handed free reign at Hearts has been a disaster. His defensive timid approach to football has set us back years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must of forgot the games we smashed rangers twice, and pumping hibs at the San giro within 90 minutes may i add 😉. The Hibs and Rangers games were great but their tactics played right into our hands. Stendel didnt have a clue against teams that sat in, punted long balls over the top for folk to run onto, which was the vast majority of the other games. We were too easy to play against. While Stendel didnt lose to the likes of Alloa, he was unable to win against other similarly useless teams like Hamilton and St Mirren and these were massive defining must win games for the club, particularly the last two against Hamilton and St Mirren. Hamilton and St Mirren were as bad as Dunfermline. Stendel was a nice guy but wasnt up to it tactically with the players that we had. His only solution was to throw on more attackers without anyone to create. We needed to just get results, instead he set the team up without giving them a chance to get results with his kamikaze tactics, especially when we had a ghost in goal (whether he chose to pick him or not). Anyone that was at that St Mirren game will agree that it was one of the worst and most gutless Hearts performances in recent times, particularly when it was a must win game. As has been covered also, the two guys he brought in from Germany were absolutely terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to remember CL winning at Fester Road earlier this season, seem to remember Robbie winning against them at Hampden as well. Was beating Sevco once in league enough to make up for St Mirren away, St Johnstone at home, getting pumped at home to Hibs, getting pumped by Motherwell and various other shockers? Can't say it was.

You only have to look at the penalty from last years final to know this. Lunging in and making it easy for Gollum to award. Very naive of him and if they didn’t score then, then I think we’d have held on for the win. Do you honestly think DS has unfinished business here and will be back one day? Either that or I’ll have to dye the maroon stendel flag to red amd give to a Sunderland fan lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf to all who are arguing and debating back and forth about DS and was he or wasn’t he any good for us....the above post is pretty accurate and a fair analogy of his 3 month tenure with us. I also don’t think we would’ve lost to Alloa with DS in charge. I also don’t think Tony Macdonald should’ve been let go as i really thought he had something. Anyway time will tell as they say.

The way he goes on about Stendel sounds like he was pumping him. The facts are that he should have done better with the squad he had and a more wily manager would have kept us up. However to be fair he came in during a shit storm and it couldn’t have been easy. Although he struggled to bring in the players he wanted due to us being bottom of the league so wouldn’t have been able to bring them in if we were in the championship. If we had remained in the premiership I would have wanted him to stay but down in the championship I wasn’t too bothered when he got moved on.

Given what I seen in the documentary that backed that up. What he done with taking £0 in wages during the fore-front of the scamdemic aswell was different class. Hearts dealt him 7 deuce off suit, whilst Neilson was given AK spades. It is what it is, Neilson's big game record first time round was brutal albeit ''left'' us in 3rd.

DS98 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Imagine actually pining for Stendel. The guy was a catastrophic failure and a major reason we are where we are. Truly horrific tactical awareness that took us from a very poor season and plunged it to new depths. His tactics were shite His signings were worse He chose to play Pereria game after game. Indefensible. That’s the last I’ll say on this as there’s clearly some fanatics on here desperately trying to make up excuses for him. And I’m not even a Neilson fan btw, so it’s not even a Stendel v Robbie thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
