SomethingAboutObua Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Happy with the Hibs result today so I'll let myself be positive. I'm Happy with him, I'm going for full on positivity here when I say he's potentially the closest to De Vries we've had since Jankauskas, Kyle and Sow, only he's not old, injury prone and can hold up play. Uche was such a big letdown because he couldn't actually head the ball and got bated into the wrestling, Gnanduillet actually heads the ball and didn't do the wrestling in the second tier so I'm confident he'll avoid it in the top flight. He can make himself indispensable if GMS comes good and we get Ginnelly working beside him. ****in come aaannnn we're back in the top flight, Hibs are losing piss easy finals and by the statement the other day Neilson's hopefully been given a kick up the arse for playing shite football. Can't believe I'm actually positive about Hearts again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxburn Jambo Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I think he is a great asset to us and will be played at all different times.

Guest ToqueJambo Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 We've signed so many duff strikers recently, and we now have two who have complementing styles and who seem to know where the net is. These are the first two in ages who look like they could form a partnership. Not sure this is the area of most worry, but we do need another striker for competition/the squad.

Yeah I do too… has quite a few assists in him as well. He could be quite good for us in the prem 🤞I think a decent preseason will benefit him… I think he came into us short of games and not 100%.

Bazzas right boot Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Think he's gonna frustrate and excite in equal measure Tbh. He will be effective in some games and ****ing useless in others. He looks like he can be good in the air, he's direct and can go past a player, equally he fails far too often in basic hold up play and Misplaces really simply passes- breaking down an attacking move and giving away cheap possession. He's different from Boyce tho which is good, gives us options to mix it up. If Naismith is winding down, him Boyce and maybe a "poacher" option would be good.

Needs balls into the middle and if GMS is playing more centrally I don't know where they're going to come from. Ginelly? Also I think Henderson deserves some starts - his confidence is up and his pace is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambonian Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) I still can't decide if big Gnando's going to be useful or useless. I mean, he has an eye for goal but in a lot of games he's been largely disappointing with his general play and movement. I'd actually forgot he was playing in one game until he managed to tackle the ball away from the goalie to set up Walker (possibly the Alloa game?) That said, a good pre-season might be the difference between useful or useless. The Premier defenders you'd expect to be tougher than Championship and probably less likely to congregate together to worry about him. Could work, you never know. Think we still need another striker in. We've been short on options for years. Edited May 23, 2021 by jambonian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk on here calling players lazy etc as well, no idea how they can come to that conclusion from the TV Tbh. In regards to Gnando,imo he still needs to be better in general tho-hold up play, passing and decision making. Still settling in, full pre season and has scored and assisted a few times so I'm hopeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoiK Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Seem to recall that we were getting plenty of crosses in against Raith in the final game of the season, just for a change. Not without some irony, Gnanduillet was not in the squad for this game. Play to his strengths, and get him and Boyce to work better as a pair, then he'll turn out to be an astute signing in my view.
