heartsfc_fan Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 More like 5 or 6 IMO. I still can't see why everyone is MOANING about losing a FRIENDLY 1-0. The team that played tonight is a mix of youth and the 1st team... We came 8th last season - so is Csaba going to wave a magic wand and make us play amazing? No. If there are no changes then the chances are the team will continue to play pants...bring in some new faces and get the dead wood out (Stewart, Zaliukas etc etc). Bring something different to the team...Confidence. I also can't understand why we play a young laddie up front on his own...but mind you thats ALL WE HAVE. It's pathetic...new striker is the main thing to look at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellczech Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I think he's right. A box to box midfielder, a striker and a full back should do. Preferably one of them to have leadership qualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groot Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 To put it into perspective a half decent Hearts Team with only 3 changes playing the 4-2-3-1 that seems to be the main choice- Banks Robbie Karipidis Berra New Player Ruben Jonsson Miko/Chesney New Player Driver New Player Not outstanding but easily top 6 if the new players are to a decent standard Just my opinion of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartyGraeme Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Im not long back from the game and I agree about the confidence issue, I was actually thinking that too. Our players dont have any confidence on the ball at all, they cant seem retain possession, make an accurate pass or do anything creative. Most of the time they were passing square in the hope that a teammate might be able to something with it or passing it back. Theres no confidence, no communication and no teamwork. Csaba is going to have to come good on his "miracle man" tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go along with that . . . if we were playing 3 a side Good teams are generally built around a solid base (a defence, or spine through the team or even a single player).

Gdog Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Lack of confidence is a major issue, but also ability. Out of the squad we have we are painfully short of quality, especially up top. I would blame SF for confidence issue, as he bigged up players when clearly not good enough i.e elliot, wallace, jonsson. Csaba has a bit of time to make it right, and if he gets his 2-3 players in then we should be ok. Also add in a fit Kingston to the mix and things are looking up. Strikers a priorty and a no nonsence centre half. Someone with a bit of presence and can play a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groot Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 What, no Kingston? Your kidding? Bloody hell, can't believe I forgot about him, I'd swap him for Ruben to be honest. If we are going to be playing 4-2-3-1, if you think other teams that play it like Liverpool don't have 2 strong defensive players they have the likes of Alonso and Mascherano who can put the foot in if required but the key thing is they can play a decisive pass which I don't think Ruben can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambof3tornado Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Maybe it was a breakdown in his english,he said 2 or 3 but meant 23. Goalie,left back,centre back,right back,and 2 strikers who actually score double figures in a season. Our midfield with Larry,ruben(on a good day),eggy,driver,chesney and miko,isnt too bad at all.

Ben Dover Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Can people recall the 98-99 season though, When we all expected the cup win to be a springboard to greater things and yet we ended up almost drowning in the shallow end Somehow the guys just began to fire on all cylinders late on ( the return of Cameron was the spark I think ) Now I doubt even that season was quite as flat as last year ( and of course we HAD seen those boys perform just the year previously ) but is the current squad totally beyond that kind of redemption do you think ? What about Motherwell. They were simply abject under Malpas and yet were suddenly reborn under MM ...............although I don't know how much, if any, emergency surgery took place to 'stop the bleeding' as it were ?

magicTs Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Right backLeft back Centre half 10 goal a season midfielder Target man striker Goalscoring striker Priorities!!! Add in a goalie and I would entirely agree. The problem is until we get players in results will be inconsistent at very best. If the mad one believes we will get off to a flyer and we don't Csaba could be out the door before any new players are settled into the team. This is of course why we should have had a new manager in months and months ago in preparation for the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in saying that as it woun't be good for existing players moral and he might not be able to get a larger number in becasue it just doesn't happen or Vlad doesn't let him. Agreed, imagine going to Vlad and saying I need 12 new players (as one poster seems to think) what would his reaction be? He wants quality not quantity so we're going to have to be patient. If he gets 3 even 4 new players in that are clearly better than current I'll be happier. For me it's more about who gets shunted. If nos. 28/29 go I'll be pleased as they offer nothing except keeping a youth out the 1st team squad. If Chesney goes I'll not bother as he has delivered little. If Zal goes I'll not be bothered as he has gone down hill in his only possible position of CH. If Miko goes I'd be happy. Not because I don't like him as I feel he's the one Lith who has something to offer (albeit as a squad player) but it would be the clearest sign possible that Shabba has full control.
