InternationalJambo Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 2 hours ago, Sid said: I agree with the comments around too defensive and slow in substitutions. however, the actual subs have often improved things. Walker goal. Gino. Etc. Also, find it hard to understand people predicting he will remain defensive minded when McEneff was signed because of his energy going forward (still to convince us on that). Gino and GMS both not defensive and the Liverpool guy can hardly be described as a holding mid. I think his problem is he thinks he can manage a game early doors, then win it late on because he’s done it before but that tactic doesn’t work most of the time. Also, if something is going wrong, he won’t make changes first half. Second half, too much debate over it giving subs too little time to impact the game. mom Smith being injured. I was watching Smith and Robbie. No communication between them. Smith should have held his hand up snd admitted, he wouldn’t be able to mark his man or push forward. Robbie should have spotted him and asked the question. Neilson signalled to MS to go down to when he felt his hamstring initially. Gestured for him to sit down whilst crossing his arms to instigate if he couldn’t last the rest of the match go down to let the physio on, MS got up and got on with the game. Yet again BS.

Cruyff Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I thought we were a wee bit unlucky on Sunday. We were excellent first half, we pressed them high and forced them into mistakes and long balls. Once we went 1 up, we changed to sit deeper and hit them on the break but unfortunately we conceded a shitty goal that should have been defended better. It happens. I personally didn't think that Robbie had enough on the bench to change it and we couldn't have played with the same high intensity press for 90 minutes without making mistakes. Aberdeen aren't a bad side and I think once we get our squad complete, we'd probably win games like Sunday. That said, definitely 2 points dropped because we were better than them for most of the game. Robbies done alright so far but it'll be the away games like this weekends v Dundee Utd which dictate whether or not he can get us where we should be, which, with the squad we're assembling, is 3rd place.

I meant our academy players, he’s said most of the them like Smith/Henderson/Denholm will go out on loan. He gave Henderson a minute on Sunday. He played youngsters last year in the LC stages then dropped them, Poll ock won’t be seen until April or May as he has 5/6 players in front of him now. He doesn’t play young academy players that need coaching to progress, never has never will. Look back a few pages, I’ve had this argument and nobody can name any player he’s played and helped progress.

As I said above it's fascinating the commitment shown by some to down play a Hearts man. Ah, the old myth of leaving us in second place, which was only because we'd played more games than anyone else in the league, once everyone else caught up we were down to 4th, which to be fair is still a hell of a lot better than most other managers have managed since with us, but it doesn't take away from the fact that his style of play is desperately dull, and let's not peddle the old "the fans ran him out" myth either, because if that was the case he would never have come back, the truth of the matter is that some tinpot English outfit came along and flashed their knickers at him, and he dropped us like a hot stone to run to them.....which worked out well eh?

Maybe not all, but probably the same amount as there are "disciples" who don't criticise when it's appropriate. Regards squad procurement, I'd agree that it is Hearts (Savage) that is doing the identifying and securing of the players. RN obvs has input, but I doubt he has gone to Savage and said, "get me that lad Beni from Everton" or such. Do I want RN to fail? Of course not, that means Hearts fail. Do I want RN to succeed?
