alanjambo Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 He's terrible. Offers absolutely nothing. Acts the hard man which is embarrassing when you see some of the shift as shite 'tackles' he attempts. Can't pass other than sideways, can't shoot. Just, what is the point. I didn't rate him before he came, and I couldn't understand those who thought he'd be a good signing. He's even worse than I thought.

DETTY29 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Another player when a even a simple pass a yard or two in front of the player for space to run into manages to pass it a foot or two behind. If I recall last night he had that very pass to McEneff but went behind him, McEneff who was free then has a 50.50 who struggles to get a pass off to Kasteneer having to come back, who then is pressured to pass back to Smith, who then has to give it back to Gordon. 4 successful completed passes for the stats and more possession tallied up.

Probably a laugh for a pint, no a bad guy, but christ you squeal and shout loud about stuff you genuiny don't know about. Irving is your current bugbear, like Isma, Djoum, Suso and many more before him. And the fact is the laddie has real talent. The fact our manager doesn't know how to use him or apparently anyone else in our squad is a more worthy debate than constantly bitching about a young lad who the club should be utilising way, way better. Halliday. Yep, at 29yo, offering heehae week after week, but sitting in front of his beloved Rangers strip each week online, fill yer boots. Put simply, if you can't see Irving is a good player, I think you're watching the wrong sport. You can have an opinion all you want. You can think I overrate him and we can discuss the finer points of his game. But you just say he's shite. That's not really an opinion, it's just a you farting oot yer mooth.

He doesn't particularly get stuck in though. I don't think he does anything well. He's a fake hard man basically. He's the kind of guy you love playing against. As with all Hearts players, I'd live him to nail it and be brilliant for us. At the moment, he's a huge part of the problem though. If we played a real formation with a dcm who allowed 6/7 other players to get ahead and he shielded and swept and protected, then looked to play the ball simply, quickly and positively, maybe we'd see if he could do it. I don't think he could. But as it is, he's kind of in a position that's neither or. He simply offers nowt. Maybe we're not using him correctly but I dont know what correctly would look like basically. That dcm role like Karipidis, Brellier and even the likes of Barr have done for us. I've forgotten the Portuguese lad on loan that did well initially? Haring obviously pre injury too. Think about what they did then compare. We don't have enough movement ahead of the ball. He neither provides nor facilitates it. Anyway. Not much can be done but he's one of the few players even in recent times my heart sinks when I see selected again and again.

Russ1977 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 A midfielder that doesn’t want the ball. Whenever we tried to play from the back last night he just stood pointing at the defence to pass it elsewhere as he was terrified of receiving a pass. The few times he did get it he fell over the ball or completely miss controlled it most times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1986 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I thought he’d be a very steady player who would stroll through this league but like most of the squad this season he’s been below average for the vast majority of games.

Haring, last we saw of him was Dundee where he was yards off the pace. Who’s to say he’s not just been the same as that in training? Halliday has that match fitness edge. Irving-McEneff you’d question if there’s enough experience there, and also if Irving’s leaving you’d question what’s the point playing him (irrespective of that I would still go for this more youthful pair to start the next game) I suppose what I’m saying is we’re not actually blessed with that many great fantastic options so it’s a bit of a stretch to blame it on “Hallidays Neilsons man and mates with McCulloch” or such. He’s the only fully fit experienced CM we’ve got basically. However the time has come definitely to drop him IMO we need to ring the changes.

lost in space Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Many teams have a "destroyer" who don't add much to the play but stop other team from playing. Usually they do add something - maybe able to shoot from outside box. Ian Black is the type of player. I thought Halliday would improve as he got fitter. He hasn't. He is not doing enough in the team and should be benched. Neilson signed him - so get used to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im in agreement that we need to switch out Halliday and try something else to shake things up a bit. I suppose I’m saying there are valid football reasons for Halliday to be starting. Eg. Bedding in the new man mceneff to add to the other points I made - you’d typically want some experience there to help the new signing settle into his first 3 or 4 games? Pretty justifiable. However his form is too poor to ignore now and it does need confronted. Smith being out now forces Neilsons hand. He is going to be forced to change it somehow let’s hope it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Why is Haring actually on the bench? He sits there game after game for ninety minutes watching Halliday have a howler most games. He must be worth a try again surely He cannot be any worse than what is on show. If he is that badly unfit he shouldn't be on the bench in the first place if there is no intention to ever use him. Another baffling decision by the management team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboscanbevicius Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Would much prefer to see Haring starting. Even if he only lasts 60 minutes, he can't contribute less than Halliday. He isn't terrible. As others have said he's just 5/10 week after week. Looks just about ok but contributes very little consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
