West Jambo Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Gordon - 8 - not loads to do but couple of big saves in first half Souttar - 7 - one mistake but otherwise did fine Halkett - 7 - one great block, one moment caught out. Overall decent Kingsley - 7 - solid Devlin - 8 - thought he was really good. Tackling, energy… the usual! Haring - 7 - tidy GMS - 5 - I’m a defender of GMS but thought he was anonymous McKay - 9 - MOTM a standout. Great having an exciting player like this again. Ginelly - 8 - Took goals well and lead line well. Subs: McAneff - 5 - did fine Moore - 5 - did fine Halliday - no time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackOfTheNet Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Gordon - 7 - Saves you’d expect him to make in the first half but he done well Smith - 7 - Was disappointed not to see Atkinson start, but solid from Smith Halkett - 6 - Didn’t do anything bad. Didn’t do anything great. Average. Souttar - 6 - See Halkett Kingsley - 7 - Some good stops and offered himself well for advance play. Cochrane - 7 - Proving to be a solid player consistently now. Also showing some good vision with neat and tidy passing. Devlin - 7 - Had a few off moments in the final third, but combative again in midfield and looked like he was back to one of his better performances after a few off ones Haring - 8 - Excellent, didn’t put a foot wrong and helped control the game kn our favour GMS - 2 - Terrible. Again. The guy has to do more. We need to move him on and get someone else in. McKay - 9 - (MOTM) Just missing a goal for the perfect performance. Looking like the special player he can be tonight. Ginnelly - 8 - Didn’t so much other than the goals, but took both excellently SUBS Moore - 6 - Slotted in no problem, shows we won’t miss Souttar if he goes this window or gets dropped McEneff - 5 - not really fair to put him as centre forward, very isolated so little chance to do much Halliday - 5 - Little time to do anything. Weird substitution with him coming on for McKay, but I did say in the match day thread Neilson would try and shoe horn him in and so it proved.

AlimOzturk Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Gordon. - 7.5. Usual solid display, not a lot to do apart from two routine saves (from his standard) Smith. - 7.5. Competition for places and smith put in a solid claim to keep his RW slot. Bit of Cafu type play down that wing at times Soapy - Meh. Not bothering with a rating. Halkett. - 7. Steady performance Kingsley - 7 nice passing at times poor free kick first half for his standard. Cochrane -7. Solid. GMS - 6. Our poorest player. Anonymous at times. Haring -7.5. Really has stepped up to the plate after coming in for Beni. This run of games has done him wonders. Need to offer him a new deal. Devlin. 8. Was tremendous in the second half. What a wee player he is. Could have put Ginelly in for a hat tick but who can blame him for wanting a goal. Mackay - 9. MOM. Sublime passing, two assists and unlucky not to score. Gino - 9. Quiet first half, sublime second half. Took both goals well and put in a great shift. Subs: Moore - 6. Slotted in nicely for Halkett. No change to the balance in defence. McNeff. 5. Never changed anything really. Not a striker. Halliday. - Brought on to see out the same. No time to earn a rating.

RobNox Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 GMS was terrible, looking at the BBC player ratings, the only Hearts players to score less than GMS were Halliday (who was barely on the pitch) and Souttar (presumably some of the boo boys scoring him 0).

Uncle Buck Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Gordon - 7 Couple of good saves but distribution was shocking. Souttar - 7 Usual stroller. Booing didn’t affect him. Halkett - 7 They started winning headers when he went off. Dominant. Kingsley - 7 Solid. Smith - 8 Our best player first half but tired second. Haring - 8 Controlled midfield and played nice passes. Devlin - 7 Full of energy and broke up play. Cochrane - 7 Defensively sound as usual. McKay - 8 Motm. Two assists and technically the most gifted player at the club. Ginnelly - 8 Movement was brilliant and nice finishes. GMS - 5 Absolutely honking. Heart of a chicken.

Didn't score his chance so doesn’t make him look good apparently. I thought the team as a whole did good work with possession with the obvious standouts McKay, Ginnelly getting us three points. Gordon saving the clean sheet. We have key players in the team but can still strengthen the Forward area and bench. Beni still to come back which is a lift. It was a good match but St Johnstone are not getting away from that relegation area easy. They got off with a two nil score. Could have been more. No doubt they will make the playoff and survive.

At first he seemed to just receive the ball and stop while he looked for a pass. I felt there were times during that time he could have at least tries to run at them however after is first run with the ball where he went past around 4/5 of them from our own half his game changed massively. It seemed to wake him up and he realised he had the beating of them quite easily I would consider dropping souttar to a 6.5 he had a poor start. Overhit balls and his mistake that almost Les to a goal where ciftci? Tried to sort of lob Gordon. Once Kane came on it caused him more problems leading to his yellow and soon after he pushed/nudged one of their players in the back and after the free kick was given seemed to complain to the ref rather than wall away. Oh and Kingsley -10 that free kick straight into the wall. Get rid, why did he get an extension.

Ford Prentice Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 There's another thread where the booing debate is in full flow. Best discussed there. A wee bit surprised by some of the praise for Haring. Didn't think he had his best game, a lot of passes went astray especially longer passes when he tried to switch play. Got stuck in though. Was actually wondering if he's worrying about his future and it's affecting his decision making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAlim Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Gordon - 7 - Couple of saves but was quiet day for him really. Smith - 8 - He plays the wing back role in such an unorthodox way, almost like he has a free role. Was popping up at left wing and all sorts and getting involved in the one touch triangle passes as much as our attackers were. Better footballer than he gets credit for. Souttar - 6 - Passed the ball about, kept it simple. Loses a mark for looking like a fish out of water when he was asked to play as the central stopper when Halkett went off. Halkett - 7 - Done his job and forced May and Ciftci to play further away from our goal so that they could be further away from him. Kingsley - 7 - Just a talented footballer with composure and a professional attitude. Strolled it defensively and did Cochranes job for him at times. Cochrane - 6 - I still have no idea if I want to keep this lad or not. He's clearly got a good attitude, works hard for the team and has some natural talent. At the same time he seems to be taking an age to come out of his shell, plays within himself and has a tendency to look for the safest pass as soon as he gets the ball. Devlin - 7 - Usual, got stuck in, wound up the opposition, kept possession and played with a smile. Cammy has a talent for tackling (yes, that is a thing) and to me it looked like he was getting much more involved further up the park than usual which we hopefully see more of. Haring - 8 - Much like Devlin, Big Pete was getting himself into the final third much more than usual. Passed the ball around really well and made life difficult for the opposition at both ends of the park. Needs someone to put a cross infront of him when he breaks into the box. Some lovely slide tackles as well which you don't see enough of these days. McKay - 9 - Gets better every week. He gets some really awkward passes given to him, often they come to him from 5 yards away at hip height with a defender right next to him and he just brings it down and moves it on with two touches. Awareness, ball control, passing, vision, pace and effort all on show from him last night. Ginnelly - 8 - Great turn of pace he's got, even over five yards he can leave opposition centre halves for dust. Gave us the option of the ball in behind which seems to suit McKay down to the ground. Very composed finishes especially for the first goal, took it like a striker. Mackay-Steven - 5 - Invisible, looked like the only player in the squad who couldn't deal with tight marking and 50/50 challenges. Often when he puts in one of those performances he pops up with a goal but didn't happen on this occasion. Subs - McEneff is never a centre forward in a million years and was hung out to dry a bit. Moore slotted in and did his job well. Halliday didn't really have much to do, the laddies must look at him coming on when we're 2-0 up with 10 mins to go and wonder what the point of being here is.

He gets some really awkward passes given to him, often they come to him from 5 yards away at hip height with a defender right next to him and he just brings it down and moves it on with two touches. Awareness, ball control, passing, vision, pace and effort all on show from him last night. Ginnelly - 8 - Great turn of pace he's got, even over five yards he can leave opposition centre halves for dust. Gave us the option of the ball in behind which seems to suit McKay down to the ground. Very composed finishes especially for the first goal, took it like a striker. Mackay-Steven - 5 - Invisible, looked like the only player in the squad who couldn't deal with tight marking and 50/50 challenges. Often when he puts in one of those performances he pops up with a goal but didn't happen on this occasion. Subs - McEneff is never a centre forward in a million years and was hung out to dry a bit. Moore slotted in and did his job well. Halliday didn't really have much to do, the laddies must look at him coming on when we're 2-0 up with 10 mins to go and wonder what the point of being here is. Agree with most of that, especially the Cochrane comments. There's lots to like about him but I feel he plays the safe pass far too often rather than taking responsibility to go forward. Mind you his pass completion stats will be right up there! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
