Coco Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 No good games this season and a lazy attitude. His badge thumping on Saturday after Stewart's goal really annoyed me, given his utter lack of effort during the game. No wonder that no one wants to buy him. What a waste of his talent he is.

kissthebadge Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Given that he is supposed to be at the peak of his career and his clubs include Hapoel Tel Aviv and Terek Grozny, I'd say his attitude won't be changing anytime soon. He seems more than capable at International level but appears happy to collect substantial wages at club-level for no or little effort. For as long as he is at our club, he should play as he is capable of producing the odd bit of magic. If a semi-decent offer comes in for him in January, we should grab it with both hands. .

Do you know where hell is Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 He is up his own erse as far as i concerned and fast becoming a wage thief. He strolls around as if we are 3-0 up or something. When we conceded the second on saturday you would have though he would have burst a gut fro the next three mins, instead he wandered about and just accepted the defeat. A pain in erse imo and one we could do without, if we can get some decent dough for him then we should sell him come january, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that he is very capable of becoming a class player for us if he just get his self sorted and starts giving 100% week inn week out..

For the long term good of the team he should be dropped for a time. Fans should stop chanting his name, unless his play merits it. Scott Wilson should cease emphasising his name when announcing the team, and so on. I believe Kingston is effected by the hype and sees no need to put in much effort as the fans love him regardless.

magicTs Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I'm one of the 11% ! Not a chance I would drop Kingston YET. I would however move him into a more central position and give him more responsibility. Given it appears Csaba's coaching skills and abilities to get more out of players are revered on here he should be focusing on getting more from potentially our best outfield player. Dropping him this early in the season is a luxury our mediocre squad can ill afford and I think we need to get him playing rather than putting him in the stand. Do that and you can forget Kingston ever doing anything for Hearts. ICT at home is the perfect opportunity to play him in central midfield beside the player of the season for us so far. We will have loads of the ball and there is no need for Karipidis to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a Game Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I'd prefer it if we get him on the ball a lot more and with the signing of Mrowiec I think we will see Hearts winning a lot more of the ball in midfield and Stewart our playmaker making a lot more passes to our creative players. Kingston has to want to get on the ball more though. Several times in the second half Stewart made charging runs and looked out to the right to see Kingston either not keeping up with play or marked by an opponent and not doing a lot to escape the marking. In central midfield in the SPL youve got to be able to win the ball as well as making space for yourself to receive it. Both of those things take a hell of a lot of hard work and Kingston hasnt got the hard work ethic at the moment. In the first half Kingston was apparently in central midfield, I never noticed him to be honest. I dont care how good you are. If you dont work hard in this league you're not going to get a chance to do the talented side of the game. You'll get marginalised. Kingston is marginal in our team right now because he's not prepared to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdewar42 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Kingston should follow Michael Stewart's example. If Michael loses the ball he bursts a gut in an effort to get it back. In the same situation Larry lies down and does nothing to remedy the situation. If a period of not being selected doesn't alter his attitude, we will have tried and failed, but lost very little. Assuming he is not interested in playing for Hearts, he must surely realise that stepping up to a higher league requires application in the one in which he finds himself.

magicTs Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Dropping him would be a good kick up the Nat King Cole...which is required! I would agree with that sentiment for certain players but in my opinion it will only alienate Kingston and mean he would contibute nothing in the future so unless the end game is to bump him in January (and I don't see how not playing him will help us receive a good transfer fee) I would be trying to focus on getting the best out of arguably our most talented player.

Doc Rob Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 It's a difficult one. He clearly has a lot of talent but lacks application. Keeping him in the team regardless may encourage him to be lazy, but playing him in the reserves is unlikely to produce the desired effect either (he'll still pick up his wages but do even less). Personally, I feel that the best solution would be to bench him for a while and bring him on as an impact sub. Not as mad as it sounds - I think he would probably put in more effort if brought on to try and change a game for 25 minutes, rather than play from the start. The trouble is that we need another viable option to keep him out of the starting eleven. Csaba should be having a few words. If LK doesn't want to stay at the club, fair enough, but he should have to play his way to a transfer like anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicTs Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 He played in the middle at Falkirk and if anything he was worse there than out wide right IMHO He played 'in the hole' which is widely seen as the cheats role, one where you play the guy who can flit in and out of the game sometimes contributing very little. I am talking about giving him responsibility in the engine room beside Stewart and getting him playing box to box. He seems to me a guy who needs to feel wanted and important and I think we should persevere before dropping him which I think would signal the end of him in a Hearts shirt.
