chester copperpot Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thought the big man was superb today, ran them ragged and obviously scored. So is he the first to turn the corner? I'd love to think that he has. Glaringly obvious that we play far better and are far more dangerous under a 4-4-2 formation now. Bring on the Gretna.

bighusref Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I should hope so, he got to the corner a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Bapswent Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 It takes him 20 minutes to slow down, thats why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester copperpot Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 It takes him 20 minutes to slow down, thats why. He was pretty good today. Still 2 stone overweight mate, however still did very well. Well done Christian, I just think a well done's in order because of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Winstone Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Definitely looking a bit bulky but was better today - you can see what he is trying to do a lot of the time but his execution is often too poor. Worth giving him a run with Velicka and seeing what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all in all, I'd give him a bash for a while. Frail, get rid of Miko and you're almost there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do The Dance Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Think Aberdeen fans will be impressed with Nade, that's 2 games he's played well against them - they've not had to put up with his (and the rest of his team-mates) pi5h over the last couple of months. Well Done Nade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I watched him against Motherwell midweek and seen the type of player he can be, it is when we play football that he is at his best IMO, (not hoofball). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Maybe it is Hearts own fault about Nade.Thats 2 good performances playing alongside Velicka.Could be wrong but seem to remember most of the time he has been playing up front himself.Not ideal for one so unfit.He seems to have lost a bit of weight as well.Took his goal really well today although he had a poor miss 1st half.Just watched the highlights and Calderwood reckons we were lucky.The only reason we got the goal according to him is because Nade is lazy.No wonder we hate that Orange(tangerine:))clown.

The Merse Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Calderwood said the game deserved a 0-0 and we were lucky that our goal only came from Nades laziness coming back, otherwise he wouldn't have been in on goal from the poor pass back.

Coco Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Better signs from Nade. I think he still looks very heavy and that is limiting him on the field. He is a lazy player too. But he had a couple of chances on Tuesday, didn't take them. And 2 cracking chances today and took 1 of them. When he is on form I think he looks to be a hard player to play against.

IMO, a striker is one of the players in the squad who most benefits from an extended run in the first team. Nade hasn't had that here, and I seem to recall (though I might be wrong) that he didn't get it with the Blades. The guy's pretty good on the ball, he's physically strong, and whilst he's not the quickest once he's going, he seems to have enough off the blocks to turn the odd marker or two. The team as a whole has looked sharper since Korbochka and Cherenkov stepped back a bit, implying to me that training has improved. I always find it easy to forget, for whatever reason, that the Nade's not exactly a seasoned veteran (23 iirc?). I reckon if he keeps his place for a few games, we'll see some pretty impressive stuff from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulton needed to play every game and so did Roman Bednar. That was one of the reasons why we didn't see the best from Bednar last season - he was in for 1 out for 2 and Nade has had the same this season (as well as being suspended etc).

JamboGraham Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 The 4-4-2 works...Nade still has to work on his fitness. However, it seems to fit what our players are capable of doing. Funny how 4 in the midfield seemed to have more presence than we have had in several months playing 5. The 4-5-1 has its place. I am just not sure that it is for this current group of Hearts players.

Examiner Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I think Nade will be even better with Larry back in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Nade is having the same problem Chesney had when he arrived. He isn't adjusting to the pace of the Scottish game and wants too much time on the ball. Once he learns that touch and pass is a better way he will be a good player for us. Right now all he is doing is slowing our fast attacks up by trying to hold the ball up for too long. Is a bit fond of a pie though (unless you believe the rumours on Hibs.net) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellczech Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 4-5-1 was garbage. We simply are not good enough for it - and I mean both that our strikers are not mobile enough nor are our wingers good enough at crossing the ball. BTW Let Chesney take over the corners and freekicks from Stewart - his delivery is the best at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Been saying it since we signed him, Nade is quality. The guy has some serious skills on the ball and he is built like a brick wall. If he keeps fit and mentally tuned in, he'll be a brilliant player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Miko was one of our poorest players yesterday. He got support from the crowd after he was booked for diving. Given where we get in the Aberdeen ground I am not sure that any Hearts fan could say that the booking was justified/unjustified though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbeat Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 He was pretty good today. Still 2 stone overweight mate, however still did very well. Well done Christian, I just think a well done's in order because of today. I posted this some time ago and think its true but only passing on. Mate of mine (and sits next to me at games) knows the Hearts Masseur and tells me that when they do the body fat content of the players Nade is 7% now I know nothing of these things so passing on as have heard but he was told this is the level Olympic athletes are at. Also says Nade is not overweight but is all upper body and due to this lacks mobility although when in his stride we can all see he can motor. For what its worth the official site have him down as 12.5 stone a point I have mentioned to a few people who admittedly have all p!$$ed themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 He looks to have a lot to his game - he can hold the ball up well, has surprisingly good touch and skill for a big lad. He needs to get fitter/sharper - the type of fitness gained through playing, and adjust to the game. I reckon he will be a big asset to us once he's fully attuned to the game up here.
