Buffalo Bill Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Little Miko, he's scoring winning goals and playing his heart out; like a new signing, and a reminder of a guy we used to have before he barged into cheating Hun linesman, Andy Davis. Now that the new Miko is enjoying a great season, the tabloids and their Tartan Army-lorry driving readership ( guys called 'Big Shugs' or 'Rab') will be forced to endure the sights and plunderings of our flying winger. Opposition fans, who boo his every touch are now going back to Inverness and Motherwell with something new to chew on: that this boy can really play. So a happy Sunday morning to you all, and get it up them; get it right up all of them Miko Miko Miko! Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod01 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 There is absolutely no doubt that he can play. I hope Shabba can get the best out of him (looks as though he is so far), and that the usual numpties in the stands stay off his back as he is clearly a confidence player. Loved the way he controlled a difficult ball with one touch, dead, and then sprayed the 40 yard pass to that No.10 bloke. It was class, shame No.10 did his usual with it. Miko has class, his effort is undeniable, we need to keep supporting him. Rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambof3tornado Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Never mind his goal scoring and bursting up the wings,what about his tracking back,he lost the ball in the ICT box and ran like an intercity train to the halfway line to challenge for it back...now thats what I want from all the players!!!

No, i don`t barrack him from the stands and i`ll admit to not being his greatest fan(although i liked him when he first came) but he did have a good game yesterday but still nothing startling like most of the team. Sorry, i can`t agree that miko has class:eek:, maybe effort and a nice touch now and again but let`s not get over excited. Not so long ago( and for quite a period) he was mince. The early signs are that Laszlo has gave him a bit confidence but in 20 or so games lets see what everyone is saying. Just because a player turns in a couple of good peformances doesn`t mean he`s turned it around, likewise a good player doesn`t suddenly become cr ap because he`s had a couple of stinkers.

Couple of points, he has terrific control, has a terrific shot in both feet and has the ability to beat a man with pace as well as skill.

JWL Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 The problem with Miko has alway been consistency. Even for a winger he's horribly inconsistent. If he can solve this issue great. However, I fear that he will continue to frustrate. That said hopefully yesterday was a springboard he can move on from. I cannot think of a consistently good winger, Miko will always be inconsistent, but when he's not playing that well you will always get 100% from him, top player for me. Mon the Miko.

Fulham Jambo Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I think it is clear that this Laszo chappie gets results from his players - Miko always had talent he just needed somone to get the best out of him and curb his enthusiasm in other parts of his game Laslo - 9/10 so foar for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Dover Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Rock solid performance from Miko yesterday, bar one attempt on goal from 25yds ( when perhaps a pass out wide was the better option ) that went almost sideways Found himself BEHIND Wallace on many occasions, trying his best to help shore up the left side. To be honest I dont feel the 'early days yet' tag is really warranted, I think he's been solid, for Miko anyway , since the mid point of last season at the very least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said he is performing better and that is in some part due to him taking the easier options and making simple passes. Less mistakes = less abuse, I think he's realised that.

The point is, he`s been at the club nigh on 5 years, constantly involved in the first team and still hasn`t flourished into a strong dependable player. How many players get that long? For most part he`s been sub -standard, He`s had his moments, no doubt, but he hasn`t proved over any great length of time to be a solid performer.

vegas-voss Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 He has always had the talent.Was really good yesterday cool and composed in possession when in tricky situations and a great finish once again.I think he would be brilliant in the hole once Driver is back or when Driver is back keep Miko on the left with Driver on the right. ps it probably helps when he has a good manager at club and international level to help him out and incourage him.

buca junior Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 He is definitely working harder when he plays and has added a couple of goals and can be a threat.

Examiner Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Then was subbed within seconds. Even though Miko was dong great - I thought tactically this was spot on. Basically give the team the opportunity to see if we could get another, but when it becomes clear that it isn't going to happen, fill the gaps and protect what you have before the other mob get more confidence. Great show by Miko the sub (imo) was tactical and not a reflection on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambosean75 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 i think he picked up a slight injury yesterday. in the 5 - 10 minutes before getting subbed , there was a lot of talking going on between him and the bench , he kept telling them to hold off taking him off. but you could see he was getting less and less mobile.

KisLas Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 On a side note I just checked the SPL stats page and saw that Ksanavicius along with Stewart have the most assists in the Hearts team: http://www.scotprem.com/content/default.asp?page=home_Statistics was surprised by that a bit. P.S. Kingston has the second result of shots in the league and no goals. How useless is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sked21 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 There is no doubt he has quality. I think he has needed a bit of confidence and Csaba has given him that and if he builds on yesterday he could be like a new signing and a big player for us. I still reckon Chesney could be the player for the 'hole'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i8hibsh Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'm a huge fan of Miko, on and off the pitch The fans who say they hate him (i'm sure) secretly like him He is one of our longest serving players, our top goalscorer at the club and gives his all (usually) There are times when he is a passanger, he is often over zelous in a challenge but I love the kid Long may his purple patch continue Miko Miko Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiko!

Drylaw Hearts Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Miko played well yesterday and I thought he was very unfortunate to be subbed.

Examiner Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 there was something played didna recognise it tho The song was about Bantu Steven Biko who was beaten to death by the South African authorities during the Aparthied era. (watch the film "Cry Freedom" - very good film - quite exciting and tense too if I recall) Bit odd to match it to Miko, but I thought it was good on two levels - first it was just a bit of fun and di sound like "Miko" so why not? secondly anything that sparks a discussion and encourages people to find out about the chilling end effects of racism and bigotry can only be a good thing.

I like that in a player too If you could bottle his passion and commitment to club and its support and feed it to others in the team, we would be unbeatable. Sometimes it gets the better of him but I would rather that than a highly paid mrcenary going through the motions.
