After a couple of games I thought they were going to be the best players ever to play for Hearts but it turns out that I had to Google their names as they were so forgettable. I think players like Tziolis need players on their wavelength alongside them. Same with Marcondes. You can have great ability, move into ideal positions, put the ball into the perfect place for a team mate to run onto but if your team mates make the wrong choice when you are in the perfect position, dont make the right choice when you put the ball into the ideal position and just expect you to do something without giving any assistance then you are going to look hopeless.

TexasAndy Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Always thought the OP went overboard about Marcondes. What I have seen is a player with one or two nice touches and a couple of goals. A messiah would have hauled his team to top 6 at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhanda is better so not right now - but if we hadn't signed him then probably, aye. There's a player in there, who I think would thrive in a winning team. There's absolutely no doubting his technique and his underlying ability.

Greece are pish and Denmark are class though 🤣 Matt O'Riley (although he's been capped somehow) doesn't even make their top 10 in the middle of the park.

This is over the course of their careers though and Tziolis played in some very good Greek national sides. I think with your OP saying "told yous he was a player" and telling us all how good he is you maybe jumped the gun a little bit and got carried away. Many players are technically good but that's no use without the correct attitude. The fact that many Hibs fans don't even want him back in the summer kind of makes starting this thread to gush over him look a little silly 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a very good game against us and everything went through him the next few games too. He's not been great in his last few games but still shown some ability, and I still think he's a good player for this level.

Think thereafter he wanted that extra second on the ball that you just don’t get afforded in the Scottish game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a good game but best half a Hearts player has ever played, not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
