ibpc Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'm not against playing a possession passing game and being patient in the build-up. However the opposition are not going to stand aside in admiration and let us wander through to pass the ball into the net. At some pint there is the need to play a through ball that opens the defence and creates a scoring opportunity. On Saturday and last night, no one seemed willing or able to this. We have one player who may be slow-moving but can play the through ball - Ruben Palazuelos. Let's give him a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the voice from above Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'm pretty confused as to why he's not been playing. He's one of our best passers, grew up in a footballing culture very similar to the one Csaba is trying to implement and is a natural midfileder. Surely he should be starting!

loveofthegame Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Seconded. Ruben MUST start in place of Karipidis on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redm Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Seconded. Ruben MUST start in place of Karipidis on Saturday. I know it's not his natural position and everything but Karipidis really hasn't been impressing me much this season...or towards the tail end of last season either. It's easy for me to say that, things being how they are...but I'm genuinely beginning to wonder about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I have no time for Ruben. I doubt he has made more than 3 forward passes in his time at Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Chimp Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I have no time for Ruben. I doubt he has made more than 3 forward passes in his time at Hearts. he is a bit of a "chicken" to barry ferguson's "crab." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Blocker Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I rate Karipidis as a centre half ... Only reason I can think that he is playing midfieldl is to keep him in the shop window .. nothing to do with whats best for the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I have no time for Ruben. I doubt he has made more than 3 forward passes in his time at Hearts. I think he is a decent player, but certainly not the messiah that some are leading us to believe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
