Watt-Zeefuik Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 20 hours ago, Tom Hardy’s Dug said: We also let a few strikers who could actually score and were decent players go. Concalves, Bjorn. To be honest I’d add Juanma to that and we didn’t seem to try hard with Zeefuik, who was at least worth a season punt in the SPL. Zeefuik didn't try hard? He was big and slow, no doubt, but his effort was never the problem. Absolutely bulldozed defenders, particularly when we were up against Rangers. Fantastic player for our level, wish we could have kept him (we tried IIRC). 19 hours ago, WheatfieldWarrior said: Paul McCallum? what a savior he was - at Dagenham and Redbridge now. If pushed as to the worst player since I've followed Hearts, both in terms of lack of overall skill and utterly failing us when we needed him, this is my answer. Just a bit of barely competent football was all we needed and he couldn't provide it, and seemed to be arrogant about it too. 11 hours ago, Tom Hardy’s Dug said: Juanma was a decent finisher and scored good and important goals for us. I think he got 13 in his first season which with our general record was decent. Never understood the hate. We don’t have the funds to sign the “perfect” striker. His attitude, particularly towards the end, was shite, and he feuded openly with Neilson. More to the point, though, he killed so many promising moves by just being too ****ing lazy to get his arse onside. I really liked him when he first showed up and he had skills as a striker, but FFS man, GET ONSIDE. 7 hours ago, John Findlay said: Explain in detail then. A false 9 lines up for kick-off exactly where a #9 would go. Kicks the ball or covers the center circle. He's in the middle of the front line. Based on the position you expect him to push forward into the box, to run the channels, and to try to gain scoring position around the back line of defense. But instead, he consistently drops back towards the midfield to help rotate the ball, hovers above the top of the box, and tries to pick passes for wingers cutting in to the posts into the space left open by the false 9's absence. When he does attack the goal, it's more of direct running at the fullbacks facing the goal than playing with his back toward the goal. Not a fair comparison with anyone else obviously but Messi has done it better than anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he got 13 in his first season which with our general record was decent. Never understood the hate. We don’t have the funds to sign the “perfect” striker. The problem, for me at least, with Juanma was mainly frustration at his lack of effort. In most games, there were numerous instances of him being totally absent from play because he was way offside and making no effort at all to get onside. Occasionally it would be because he'd made a run anticipating a ball played in behind the defence which never came, but mostly it was simply because we'd been attacking, lost possession, the opposition had moved forward including their defence, and he simply wouldn't bother to even break into a brisk walk back up the park. We'd regain possession and look to play the ball forward and he'd still be yards offside and doing nothing, frequently leaving us effectively a man down. I'm sure he'd claim he was conserving energy or something, but in reality he simply wasn't putting the effort in, which was a real shame, as he had enough other attributes to be outstanding for us.

Whereas a false 9 is more in between a striker & a 10, usually played in place of an out & out striker ie Peps Barca/current City team, Totti at Roma, Firminho at Liverpool, Spain under Del Bosque did it in some games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
