MattyK82 Posted February 12 Posted February 12 2 hours ago, Ex member of the SaS said: As Souter showed last night he will fall to the ground for no reason and get the foul. We need to be taking more shots from outside the box rather than walking then in. Kabore does well enough but he is no natural striker, he trips over too many times and we should be signing better. You see his first goal at Tannadice? Was a brilliant poachers goal. Excellent movement and good finish. Second goal there was a good strikers goal too. Recently, we’ve been shelling balls up to him and expecting him to do what Shankland does. That’s not his game. He looks uncomfortable. The teams reluctance to get to the byline and cross the ball in, is not helping the likes of Kabore. Look what happened when we finally decided to beat a man and cross the ball on Tuesday night. Goal. We need more of this, not just for the strikers but for the likes of Magnusson etc. Incredible the way Kabore has been singled out from Tuesday. Beni was dreadful but no one is mentioning this. Kyzi had his worst match (offensively). We simply cannot have any boo boys. 12 matches left. We need to trust the manager and the team. I do accept Kabore needs longer studs mind 😂😭
Dazo Posted February 12 Posted February 12 2 hours ago, sjh1874 said: The Kabore hate is strong. I think he'd do ok against Souttar and likely Fernandes. He's rough around the edges but the Currant Bun CH's can't handle the physicality the same as for instance St.Mirren or Hibs. Anyhow I'd be shocked if Kabore is dropped. We need him to keep working and get others closer to him. I'm yet to be convinced that Beni and Leonard play in the same side, both handy but still to buy into both at the same time. Seems everyone and their dog gets a free pass because Shankland isn’t playing. Kabore is not only expect to play like Shankland but also benefit from a hug at Shankland brings despite him not playing. The service he has hand to content with has been shocking. Braga’s especially but also Kyzi’s form has dropped off a cliff since Shankland has been out the team also. Yes Kabore isn’t the finished article but he is a right handful to play against and we have no one better to do the role he is asked imo.

If it's that close, I think he'll be given the weekend off. And rightly too. Top of the league and you want to give a key player the weekend off if his Mrs has a baby 😯😯😯 Jeez it's a different world 🙈 Plenty of time to see his baby 🍼 Facetime works 😁🫣

I dont think he is being singled out, but now, some guys have got to make way for Ageu and/or Chesnokov. Now is the time. We have lost key players recently to injury and suspension, we have fought, dug in and got a couple of results, Kabore has played his part in that. But performances now need to go up a level. We have to find a better quality levels at Ibrox, we have to put a performance on. It is the business end. We need a result but we also need a performance to breed renewed confidence. We have been hanging on a scrapping and winning ugly a lot. While we would all take 12x 1-0’s to the end of season, the reality is, without improving the quality levels in our performances, we are going to end up the wrong side of some of these tight games. As we did in Paisley. So for that reason it is now imperative that we get minutes into Ageu and Chesnokov ASAP, Kabore has done ok but just not done enough to make himself indispensable. So he should make way immediately for Ageu IMO, with Kiziridis now coming under threat from Chesnokov too. There is competition for places here to think about. Performances need to improve. As for Beni, being a bit poor recently, that doesnt write off what we know he has done in a Hearts jersey over the past 5 years. At his best he is an absolute nightmare for opponents midfielders. Yes he has got growing competition for his jersey too, but from currently available personnel, he starts. Edited February 12 by A_A wehatethehibs
Absolute Scenes Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I’m confused - why do people not want two wingers playing? Isn’t that the most balanced and appropriate way to approach the game?
davie1980 Posted February 12 Posted February 12 23 minutes ago, Absolute Scenes said: I’m confused - why do people not want two wingers playing? Isn’t that the most balanced and appropriate way to approach the game? It has it's merits and also has some downsides. I mean we have literally played with two outright wingers only once all year as far as I'm aware and that was far from the greatest performance. So it's not like we've struggled to get results without them. We've played strikers wide, midfielders wide, full backs as wide midfielders. None of that has held us back and we're top of the league, so there are clearly arguments either way.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted February 12 Posted February 12 39 minutes ago, Absolute Scenes said: I’m confused - why do people not want two wingers playing? Isn’t that the most balanced and appropriate way to approach the game? My understanding is, in that type of setup, for example a 5-3-2 or a 3-4-3, or a narrow 4-3-3, your wing backs are your main threat from the wide areas, meanwhile you have your attackers operating more centrally. So you may have a CAM and 2x CFs. Or maybe a CAM, CF and 1x Winger who goes across to either side periodically. Or a CF and 2x “wingers” who are more inside forwards. These days, forwards are multi-role. For us it could mean that Atlena and Milne are essentially the “wingers”; you only have 2 players that actually stay out toward the touch line. Rather than 4. So you therefore concentrate more of your forces in the center, both at CB, midfield, and forwards. You have 8 players to fight for control of the central column of the pitch, with only 2 players posted wide. If you do play with 2 outright wingers and 2 full backs, thats you got 4 guys posted to wide areas of the pitch. Leaving you with just 6 players aligned in the central column, competing for control of the center. So if you come up against a team who has decided to concentrate forces in the center, it can leave you vulnerable to getting outnumbered and dominated in the middle of the pitch 8 vs 6. Which can quickly eliminate the relevance of your 4 guys out on the 2 touchlines. Wide players cant have much influence on the game if you cant get securely the ball to them.
Pingu Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Two wingers vs not two wingers - I think people are talking at cross purposes. Some people are worried about 4-4-2 leaving us short in central midfield against teams that play three in there. But you can play two wingers in a 4-2-3-1 or in a front three in a 4-3-3. So we can have our cake and eat it here. What you can't do is have two wingers and two central strikers and three midfielders. Pick two from those three!
Fozzyonthefence Posted February 12 Posted February 12 5 hours ago, kingantti1874 said: again in that we’ve played it plenty of times, especially in the bigger fixtures. Celtic away / rangers at home We don’t play really play 3 up top though, Kyzi plays LM in a 4. And it certainly wasn’t a front 3 away to Celtic! The only game I can think of where you might say we played 3 forwards was Dundee Utd at home where Shankland, Braga and Kabore all started.
ramrod Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Del will go back to what has been successful against Rangers this Season so far, be a pretty safe lineup. Something like Schwolov McEntee Halks Findlay Milne Leonard Beni Braga Magnusson Kyri Kabore Can't see him playing Altena, Ageu,Chesney or a Mato from the start at Ibrox.

Yes he has got growing competition for his jersey too, but from currently available personnel, he starts. Kabore has played 745 minutes for us, just over 8 games in total. 92 of those minutes were 10 v 11 and he was essentially stuck up front on his own and asked to be a nuisance. If we discount those, which I think is only fair, he has played 653 minutes for us so just over 7 games total. In that time he has managed 4 goals and an assist as well as producing the moment that got trusty sent off, going some way to earning us a draw. He has also accrued the highest xG/min in the whole sqaud, higher than Braga and Shankland. A goal contribution every 131 minutes, whilst not playing consistently and data backing up that he gets in good positions to score shows me he is doing fairly well and definitely not worthy of some of the abuse he is getting. I appreciate your point about getting minutes into guys like Ageu and Chesnokov but Beni is far more worthy of being dropped if we are going off of recent contributions than Kabore is. The issues with our last few performances have not been upfront for me. Yes, we have lost a lot of composure and link up play with Shankland out, but we could easily mitigate that by controlling the midfield more and giving Braga and Kabore more than scraps to feed off. Kabore won more duels than any player in the hibs match and also won possession back more than any player also. People just overlook these stats because his style is unorthodox and his first touch needs a bit of work and they don't directly result in goals, but he is clearly a handful and useful. Get guys round about him and supporting him and feeding him in the box and he has shown he can have a more tangible influence. Continue lumping the ball up to him and hope he makes something out of nothing and people will continue to be disappointed.

Kabore has made a great contribution to the team. However, we need to step up a gear at Ibrox, hit them with the unknown something like (I know DM will pick nowhere near it!) : Schwolow Altena Halks Findlay Milne Beni McEntee Ageu Magnusson Chesnokov Braga Mato Subs; Gordon; Steinwender; Kent; Kabore; Kabangu; Kryzeridis; Kerjota; Leonard.

But at other times during this season McEntee and Magnuson were also getting abuse here, not good enough etc etc Yet both have been great contributors in recent games. Braga has taken heat at other times and so has Kizi; although the latter did very little up front against Hibs, his major and significant contribution was to chase back and cut out the ball across the box that had Boyles name on it. I think they've all contributed big moments to the team, including Kabore. This place often throws in adverse judgements on players, only to reverse that a few games later when their contribution stands out. I actually don't think Kickback is any better or any worse than other fans forums in that regard, it's natural for fans to praise and berate players in equal measure, but objectively I find it hard to fault any player this season for lack of effort or significant moments, they've all played their part.

I agree performances levels need to go up, last 2 games haven't been good enough. I just don't think Kabore is the reason for that. I think we struggled for control in the middle of the park and couldn't dictate the game, we were just going long, which I don't mind, but it requires people running off of the man who the ball is shelled to, and people sitting just off him to pick up the scraps. Kabore is decent at getting flicks on but there is rarely anyone anticipating the second ball. Dundee utd is the most comfortable we have looked in months and I don't think it's a surprise we had a midfield three that didn't include Beni. I would actually be happy with your 11, assuming the midfield is Mags, McEntee and Ageu. But if Ageu isn't ready I'd have Leonard in there over Beni, he is far more capable of dictating a game. If Kabore drops out it has to be for Ageu. Beni is the most obvious ommission for me based on current form, but I will understand his inclusion if he is in there. Just making the case that Kabore isn't the source of our problems in the last few games, in my opinion, of course.
Maple Leaf Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I just spent a few minutes browsing a Hun fans forum. They are viewing Sunday's game as a must win. Confidence about winning the league is about 50%, but they figure they need to get 9 points from their next three games to stand a chance. There is some grudging respect for Hearts for the way we grind out results, and for the way we are having a good season with a very low-cost squad. There's the feeling that if Rangers don't win the league, Celtic will.

Ron Burgundy Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I think our lack of attacking threat from midfield is showing. Time for Ageu to earn his corn.

Beni isn't as good without hiim, and Magnusson should be a first pick for his mobility imo. If Ageu plays too then we have the problem of finding places for Shanks when he comes back. At the moment, we have about 16 forwards and midfielders if we include Spittal and Forrest, but for me Beni, Cammy, and Magnusson would be our first pick midfield three. That only leaves four more picks between midfielders and strikers. If Mato, Ageu, and Chesnokov turn out as hoped, it's going to be one hell of a bunfight for places in there.

Something like Schwolov McEntee Halks Findlay Milne Leonard Beni Braga Magnusson Kyri Kabore Can't see him playing Altena, Ageu,Chesney or a Mato from the start at Ibrox. I would play Altena and Milne wide in a midfield 4
Old Nick Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I know there are a bunch of games left, I kinda feel the winner of this match will win the league. It's probably irrational thinking on my part, but that's where my brain is. Fookin loving this new type of stress that I'm experiencing.

Second goal there was a good strikers goal too. Recently, we’ve been shelling balls up to him and expecting him to do what Shankland does. That’s not his game. He looks uncomfortable. The teams reluctance to get to the byline and cross the ball in, is not helping the likes of Kabore. Look what happened when we finally decided to beat a man and cross the ball on Tuesday night. Goal. We need more of this, not just for the strikers but for the likes of Magnusson etc. Incredible the way Kabore has been singled out from Tuesday. Beni was dreadful but no one is mentioning this. Kyzi had his worst match (offensively). We simply cannot have any boo boys. 12 matches left. We need to trust the manager and the team. I do accept Kabore needs longer studs mind 😂😭 Kabore has all the balance and finesse of a baby giraffe. However he has done okay in spurts and patches against the two dundee teams and others. I'll remain balanced and fair here, he's a good squad player, great guy. I won't go hyperbolic and claim he's a great player or shite. He's neither. Edited February 12 by Rudi5kaceldream1ng
h-e-a-r-t-s Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Team to win this match and we won’t look back after this weekend imo… Schwolow Mcntee Halkett Findlay Milne Altena Leonard Magnusson Kyzi Braga Kabore
