BackOfTheNet Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) There’s really no point starting Ikpeazu threads. Even if he’s done something off the field that’s good or on the field that’s good you’re going to get the same people that want to come on here and talk about how crap they thought he was/is. When he wasn’t/isn’t. No world beater, as I’ve said a million times, but a player that can play well and did for us more than a few times. People just form opinions too quickly and these days (Internet days) people are too stubborn to change their minds. Not saying people should change their minds, but even if there was evidence there that would people just don’t anymore. They stick to their pub chat conclusions through thick or thin. Just don’t bother with these threads anymore, good intentions or not all it does is bring negativity towards someone who seems a great guy and left his sweat on the pitch when playing for us. He doesn’t deserve middle aged bald divorcees who had knee injuries as a teenager that prevented them making it to the top who get all their football opinions from their bi-daily pub visits spouting their stubborn nonsense on a regular basis.

King prawn Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Poor player for us in my opinion. You could count on your fingers how many times he did something good.

Bazzas right boot Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Frustrating player. If he'd had learned that actually controlling the ball and not running into the player was better he might have developed. Never seemed to learn or adapt.

thewiseone Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Could have been a big player for us but think the manager of the day saw to it that there was going to be no flourishing under his watch. Was limited but had physique and other credentials that undoubtedly could have been better utilised. Disparaging comments about him in the English championship like a lot of things at Hearts makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could barely hold himself up at time and that done him no favours. At times he would power through defenders, several at a times leaving them all on their arses. Then other times he would just fall on his arse and look bemused why he didn’t get the foul. Guy has useful attributes but unfortunately doesn’t know how to use them. A shame really.

He was at his best when running the channels and going direct or hitting first time shots. His hold up play was the most frustrating thing. Should have been good but he never released the ball quickly enough and often left the ball and backed into players giving away fouls or falling over. I liked the guy but not good enough.

section s heart Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Glad the big guy's doing ok. His time at Hearts could have been so much better as he had some decent attributes, but ultimately it didn't really work. Some combination of Uche not having the awareness to adapt his game, or not getting coaching to help him, or indeed being told to keep doing what he was doing, which amounted to not holding the ball up effectively and giving away needless fouls (and not getting the fouls being committed on him).
