kingantti1874 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Just another reminder that a small number hearts fans talk ****ing pish, especially when it comes to throwing rocks at the club. ”players like amrabat are pish, when didn’t Natty akka do better against Mbappe” 😂😂🤦♂️ Edited December 7, 2022 by kingantti1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_T Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Certainly having a very good tournament, but I don't see how anyone can justify trotting out the one of the best they've seen live hyperbole etc based on a stroll in the park, against a heavily injury depleted, 10 man Hearts side. Fiorentina didn't have to do much in that game to win it. Morocco having a tournament very reminiscent of Greece at Euro 2004, at which the defensive midfielders, Zagorakis and Bassinas were excellent. Be interesting to see where Amrabat ends up though.

For me, I’m not basing it on when he played against us. He could only beat what was in front of him when they played against us and he did it very convincingly and very easily. I watch a lot of Serie A and he’s a standout for Fiorentina, I had an opinion of him before he played against us and his performances only confirmed my thought. He’s attracted a lot of attention, namely from Spurs and Liverpool prior to this tournament and that has only increased two fold due to his outstanding appearances thus far.

Perth to Paisley Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 I also watch a lot of Serie A and he has been superb for a while. He has had an excellent tournament and deserves to play for a better club. [This is not necessarily in England] He and 10 others strolled it at Tynecastle - I actually thought Giacomo Bonaventura was the better on the night. Morocco are not exciting but are a phenomenal unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 The best compliment I can give him is that he is a very ‘efficient’ footballer. Gets on with it and makes very few, if any, mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Jack Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Yep. I'm really pleased he's doing well and not every 'fan' appreciates the aspects of the 'unsung hero' who does the donkey work (they're called 'water carriers' in Italy). The majority of pundits, commentators and even Ibrahimovic (who was quoted today as highlighting Sofyan as a standout player) have praised him. We've got him tied down contractually for another season with option to extend to 2025. However, he's got interest from Liverpool, Spurs and Atletico already among others and the President (who desperately wanted him) is apparently sitting down with a new contract offer. At least if he does go and wants Champions League football etc. we should get a decent amount but highly doubt it will be a move in January. Modern football eh?

However against a 10 man and injury ravaged Hearts side, he didn't look 'world class' etc because he didn't need to. So in that game at Tynecastle, he looked good, but in my opinion at the time, just a slightly above average Serie A defensive midfielder.
