PLAYER RATINGS V Wimbledon

[Walter Bishop]

Kello - 6 (Give him benfit of doubt that passback incident was due to head knock)

 

Jonsson - 6 (only because he`s out of position)

Berra - 7

Zaliukas - 5 (usual bombscare moment)

Wallace - 7

 

Kingston - 5 (would rather have seen miko start)

Stewart - 7

Karapidis - 8 (allowed midfield to play)

Aguiar - 10 (immense)

Driver - 9 (frightening at times, if only hed had a right foot!!!)

 

Nade - 8 (done very well, should have scored)

Aguiar - 10 (immense)

Driver - 9 (frightening at times, if only hed had a right foot!!!)

 

Nade - 8 (done very well, should have scored)

 

hmm I thought Nade played well but I would give him a 7.

Stewart-6 was marked out of the game.

Zaliukas 7- although he had his terrible backpass he did keep Jones out of the game completely for corners and set pieces.

[rudi must stay]

Kello - 5 didn't look up for the match so glad he was subbed

 

Jonsson - 6 didn't let Shiels into the match

Berra - 6 usual solid game from him

Zaliukas - 6 his pass could have cost us at the end. Apart from that though he did fine

Wallace - 7 much better from him. Looked good going forward too

 

Kingston - 5 once again he didn't really do anything

Stewart - 7 didn't stop chasing all game

Aguiar - 8 MOTM never wasted the ball when he had it. Clever free-kick as well for the goal

Karipidis - 7 don't think he missed a challenge all game

Driver - 7 what a difference it makes having him in the team

 

Nade - 7 seemed genuinely interested in the game. He also showed he can play abit as well

[Ryan Gosling]

Kello 4

 

Jonsson 7

Zaliukas 5

Berra 7

Wallace 7 - much better

 

Kingston 5

Stewart 6

Karipidis 7

Aguiar 9

Driver 8

 

Nade 7

 

Balogh 8

[Snake Plissken]

Kello - subbed before he cost us the game 4

 

Jonsson - frustrated Riordan 7

Berra - so-so 6

Zaliukas - bombscare 4

Wallace - looks better going forward 6

 

Kingston - couple of nice passes and good touches coupled with some baffling moments 6

Stewart - big effort 7

Aguiar - neat and tidy with a goal 8

Karipidis - suspect in the goal but came onto a game 6

Driver - not 100% but a menace to Hibs all day 7

 

Nade - looked interested but really should have scored 7

 

Subs

 

Balogh - an iffy moment with a header but after that was assured and a super bit of goalkeeping to bail Zaliukas out.

 

Can't comment Mole and Thomson really.

[Walter Bishop]

Kello away to hospital, suspected fracture cheekbone!!

[Ryan Gosling]

Kello away to hospital, suspected fracture cheekbone!!

 

Yikes, it was a real injury??

[Samster]

Noboby today gets less than a 6 from me.

[N User]

Kello - 6. Some great kicking, some shocking kicking.

 

Wallace - 6. Great going forward, still a bit shaky defending (at the goal?)

Jonnson - 6. Couple of unnecessary fouls but a decent performance. (dodged a bullet with penalty)

Berra - 6. Fairly comfortable

Zaliukas - 6. Didn't have much to do but needs to cut the bombscare moments out.

 

Kingston - 6. Good on the ball, far too complacent first half but a decent game overall. Driver - 7. Quiet first half, excellent second half. Any other day his passing would ave created 2 goals.

Karipidis - 7. Showed why Csaba keeps him in midfield.

Stewart - 6. A quiet game but work-rate cannot be faulted.

Aguiar - 9. Awesome performance. Everything he did (except one instance) was brilliant.

 

Nade - 6. A tough shift for him but he worked well and didn't lose his position in the way Mole does. Still looking a bit slow though.

 

Balogh - WHAT A STOP! Zaliukas- buy that man a pint!

[JamboJen]

Kello - 6 - As the OP, benefit of the doubt re the pass back and head knock,kicking not great.

 

Jonsson - 7 - Riordan in his back pocket for most of the match, will be a class right back considering he's only had a few weeks in the position. Great overlapping particularly in the first half.

 

Zaliukas - 6 - Played well IMO apart from his backpasses, which in the first half Kello was also partly responsible for.

 

Berra - 7 - Best game this season IMO. Let Fletcher gets passed him on a bouncing ball in that dreadful first 5 minutes but played well after.

 

Wallace - 7 - Don't remember him making any mistakes. Supported Driver well.

 

Kingston - 5 - Came into it in the second half but he's a lazy bassa and as the game was getting end-to-end, he wasn't interested in getting back, although he did put in a great challenge once to his credit. It's a team game and individual skill doesn't make up for laziness and bad attitude. Even his team mates were getting fed up with him.

 

Karipidis - 8 - Mopped everything up, able to break forward as well and good control throughout.

 

Stewart - 7 - Quieter than usual but that's to be expected when Mixu had him marked so closely. Still able to make an impact and gave their midfield no time.

 

Driver - 9 - Class. We've missed him a hell of a lot. Direct running really caused Hibs problems, especially in the second half. Shame Nade was too tired to keep up with him later on!

 

Aguiar - 10 - Great goal, great composure, great control, great vision. You would never guess he'd been out for 18 months. MOM easily.

 

Nade - 8 - Unlucky not to get onto Kingston's "dinked" balls in the first half. Maybe should have done better with the snap shot near the end. Good, strong running and link up play.

 

Subs:

 

Balogh - 8 - Great save at some Hobo's feet (Riordan?). Good kicking and generally looked safe.

 

Thompson and Mole - no time.

Thompson -

Mole -

[Bunny Munro]

Kello - 2 - Maybe its harsh but can't think of anything positive, even if he wasnt injured he should've been subbed.

 

Jonnson - 6 - still developing in that role

Berra - 6 - not bad, not excellent

Zaliukis - 7 - thought he was playing great until he did a "neil-lennon-to-bednar" on us.

Wallace - 7 - assured at the back and won the free kick for the goal, one dodgey throw at the end (or was that andy?)

 

Kingston - 6 - good first half but should have shown way for miko by 65 mins

Stewart - 6 - hardly in the game, tried hard though.

Karapidis - 7 - looks like a CDM

Driver - 8 - unstoppable at times, we have really missed him in recenet weeks

 

Aguair - 8 - awesome MOTM

 

Nade - 7 - shouldve got the winner

[Devries4]

From a TV perspective

 

Kello - 5 - poor kicking before Nish assault. Ball nowhere near him.

 

Wallace - 6 - thought he did ok again. appeared quite comfortable at times.

Jonnson - 6 - worked hard. Benefit of tv proved Riordan straightened the leg as he went down.

Berra - 7 - Much better game today.

Zaliukas - 7 - did well. too too casual though at times and it doesn't suit him.

Kingston - 6 - Still looked a bit of a luxury but better than recent shows.

Driver - 7. Did well for first game after injury.

Karipidis - 7 - Had alot of space at times and seemed unsure at what to do.

Stewart - 7 - Grafted.

Aguiar - 9 * - One of the old school. For a first game back after that length of time I thought he could do no more.

Nade - 8 - For what it's worth i thought he was second best player on the park. Did everything I hoped he would do. (bar the sitter at the end)

 

Balogh - 8 - for that stop. It was top drawer.

Mole and Thomson 4 - for wasting time.

 

Ref - Smith - eventually you will get found out.

 

Oh and Hibs - Everything directed towards Ratboy, that was their tactic today.

[Dr. Sheldon Cooper]

Kello 5 - Looked a bit dodgy today. Couple of sloppy passes out to the defenders.

 

Jonsson 6 - Got to the wrong side of Riordan a couple of times, but dealt with him reasonably well.

 

Wallace 7 - One of his better performances. Strong second half performance.

 

Berra 6 - Unlucky to hit bar. Didn't do much of note.

 

Zaliukas 6 - Apart from the terrible passback at the end. Was fairly solid.

 

Karipidis 6 - Went through the game un-noticed. Passed it about well.

 

Kingston 6 - Should have scored. Improved second half.

 

Driver 8 - Constant threat. Caused Van Zanten a lot of problems.

 

Stewart 7 - Was marked tightly throughout.

 

Aguiar 9 - Brilliant. Excellent free kick. Shows how much he was missed.

 

Nade 7 - Should have scored. Had goal wrongly disallowed. Should start next week.

 

Balogh 7 - Saved us right at the end. Couple of good saves.

[DC_92]

Marian Kello - 5 - poor kicking, looked dodgy.

 

Eggert Jonsson - 7 - handled Riordan well.

Marius Zaliukas - 6 - solid enough for the most part, but he didn't exactly help his keepers out with those backpasses:eek:

Christophe Berra - 6 - solid enough.

Lee Wallace - 7 - better today. Got forward well.

 

Christos Karipidis - 7 - solid.

Laryea Kingston - 6 - don't think he was as bad as some are saying. Not particularly effective either.

Michael Stewart - 6 - quiet today.

Bruno Aguiar - 9 - brilliant.

Andrew Driver - 8 - had Van Zanten on toast.

 

Christian Nade - 6 - did ok. Missed a couple of good oppurtunities.

 

Janos Balogh - 7 - saved us once or twice.

[The People's Chimp]

Kello - 5 (Said it a fortnight ago; "eccentric")

Jonsson - 6 (few rough edges, dealt ok with riordan who really stretched him though)

Berra - 7 (solid enough and unlucky not have goal)

Zaliukas - 6 (4 for his crazy lapse of concentration, which came as no surprise, but overall was putting himself about)

Wallace - 7 (much improved, confidence back?)

 

Kingston - 6.5 (some of it worked, some of it didn't. Linked well with Bruno)

Stewart - 6/7 (Played well, some work allowed Bruno to shine)

Karapidis - 7 (back to start of season form. Few runs and pretty solid in letting the rest of the midfield play)

Aguiar - 9 (Sublime performance)

Driver - 8 (Pace and commitment. Big player)

 

Nade - 6.5 (Terrible miss at the end, couldn't quite get on the end of it, overall he really stretched hibs back 4 and shold use this as the springboard for his season)

 

Balogh - 7 (Came in and coped well. Excellent reactions to save Bombscare's bacon at the death).

 

Hibs key players - Bamba, Riordan, Shiels and Jones.

 

A great game, we were unlucky not to take the 3 points, but i'm happy enough with the point.

[jambo walesy]

Kello-5-Worrying at times.

 

Jonsson-6-Not bad out of position but failed to keep rat boy quiet.

Zal-6-Steady bar THAT backpass.

Berra-7-Very steady today.

Wallace-6-Better than usual but too much ball watching.

 

Kingston-5-Too lazy imo would much prefer Miko, Larry is a luxury rather than a neccessity(sp?)

Stewart-6-Quiet going forward but along with Karapidis he allowed Bruno to play.

Karapidis-7-Did exactly what was asked of him.

Driver-8-Best performance of the year, had Van Zantan on toast.

 

Bruno-9-Like a new signing for us, lets hope he can keep it up.

 

Nade-6-Played ok but still looks a few yards slow, also terrible miss.

 

Balogh-8-Great save from rat boy volley and after zal backpass.

He was a squad player in the 06 team but can be a stand out in this lot.

[Nucky Thompson]

 

Kingston 3

I take it you are either a woman or have never watched a football match:rolleyes:

[Graham Thomson]

Kello 5 shaky

 

Jonson 6 did well against Rat boy

Berra 7 Solid

Zali 6 one mistake

Wallace 6 Hibs prefered to put everything down to our right, (Jonson)

 

Kingston 5 would have prefered Miko,

Karipidas 7 Best game in holding role,

Stewart 7 kepft Murray quiet

Driver 9 Brilliant display

 

Bruno 9 Pure Class

Nade 7 Worked hard, his goal should have stood, but how did he miss that chance at the end

tottaly spot on

[JamboLad]

I take it you are either a woman or have never watched a football match:rolleyes:

 

His work rate was awful, he slowed the game down and gave the ball away countless times. By his own standards he should be doing alot more. Oh and his sitter he missed.

[Ivan Drago]

Kello 5 - not convinced about this guy

 

Eggert 5 - whens Robbie back?

Berra - 7 - steady enough

Zal - 5 - not to bad apart from the back pass

Wallace - 6 - did well other than the goal i thought, good going forward

 

Kingston - 5 - some brilliant interplay with Bruno and the odd great pass, other than that rank rotten

Karipidis - 7 - let the others do their job, some good runs forward too

Stewart - 6 - all huff and puff without much of an end product, not a bad game tho

Bruno - 9 - IMMENSE, hilarious how some on here dont rate him

Driver - 8 - looked dangerous, end product still suspect

 

Nade - 7 - looked good but didnt look dangerous in front of goal, just a good version of Jamie Mole really.

 

Ballogh - 6- great save at the end, one blunder tho

[srm12]

Kello - 5 - Poor kicking could have cost us

 

Jonsson - 7 - Did well, got forward very well for a ten min spell in the first half

Wallace - 6.5 - Schocking first 20 mins but played very well after that.

Berra - 6 - Did pretty well.

Zal - 5.5 - Some good defending and a couple of very dodgy moments.

 

Karipidis - 7 - Played well.

Stewart - 7 - Got through a power of work and aqllowed Bruno to shine

Bruno - 9 - Superb, his football brain has been sorely missed at last Stewart has a footballer to play with!

Driver - 8 - Very dangerous, hats off to Lazlo for allowing him to play so high up the pitch.

Larry -6 - a nearly game for Larry some neat play and some unlucky through ball attempts, just let Bruno hit the free kicks though!

 

Nade - 7.5 - A real handful but needs to sharpen up his finishing.

 

Balogh - 7- Did well, bailed out Zal.

Kingston can **** off

 

Aguiar looked awesome and will only get better.

 

He was a squad player in the 06 team but can be a stand out in this lot.

 

would agree with your ratings mate

[best in the land]

KELLO 4 - looked a liability relieved he went off

 

JONNSON 6 -had one of the toughest jobs, done ok but not his best position lucky not to give away a pen.could have been worse if thomson had played.

 

ZALIUKAS 5 -shakey at times and nearly cost us at the end would like to see an experienced CM instead of. even karipidis for now.

 

BERRA 7 -best defender. hit crossbar.

 

WALLACE 6 -better this week but not put under same pressure as johnson. new left back in jan please.

 

KARIPIDIS 7 -best game in wrong position. maybe swap with jonsson or replace zaliukas

 

KINGSTON 7 -much more effort,but could do much better still.

 

STEWART 8 - hope he keeps it going all season,if pass to nade was staighter might have made winner

 

AGUAIR 9 -MOM made a huge difference if he can stay fit and keep this up will be an important player. still not 100% fit yet

 

DRIVER 9 -showed how much we've missed him. just pipped to MOM. hopefully get fully fit and be more consistent than last year. on form must start.

 

NADE 6 - better than mole but thats not hard. should have taken chance at the end,not the finnisher we need. goal should have stood

 

BALOGH 6 - saved us a point. would start him next game.needs a chance. kello looked dodgy.

 

THOMPSON 0 -

 

MOLE 0 -

agree with that

[Regular John]

Kello - 3 - Terrible kicking and lucky to get away with a slip up against Riordan

 

Jonsson - 4 Never really handled the Riordan threat well

 

Berra - 7 Fairly solid today

 

Zaliukas - 4 Fell asleep at crucial moments, needs to be far more alert

 

Wallace - 6 Done okay, helped by the fact Hibs had no threat on our left side.

 

Kingston - 6 Helped keep the midfield solid with some good passing

 

Stewart - 7 Solid performance

 

Karapidis - 8 Exceptional, showed that he is more than capable in a midfield role with some very assured play

 

Aguiar - 10 MOTM, everything positive went through Bruno and a well taken free kick

 

Driver - 9 Van Zanten was ripped a brand new ersehole several times. His engine was excellent for a player just returning from injury

 

Nade - 9 Fantastic holding up and interplay with Bruno, unlucky not to have scored but showed us we have missed a capable physical presence up front

[Hungry Heart]

Why has Wallace got either a 6 or 7 in this thread?

 

He was his usual terrible self and his ever-prominant ball watching tactics cost us the goal.

 

He's only in the team as we have no other left back. I personally would like us to sign a left back in January and punt "shotgun" as he will not develop any more than he already has.

 

Who's left back at youth level?

[N User]

Who's left back at youth level?

 

In the 2nd half he was excellent going forward

[tcjambo]

Kello - 5 - Dodgy kicking. Still looks good on crosses though.

 

Jonsson - 6 - Some good covering but lost Rearend on a few occasions

 

Zaliukas - 5 - Almost cost us the game

 

Berra - 7 - Good display. Unlucky with the header.

 

Wallace - 8 - Good defensively- incisive going forward. Linked with Driver well. Shows he does have talent.Hope this shuts up the boo-boys on here.

 

Kingston - 6 - Good linking play. Shooting awful. Needs a new pair of boots with decent studs.

 

Karipidis - 7 - Very assured display.

 

Stewart - 6 - Quiet. Least effective midfielder today.

 

Driver - 9 - And to think some on here said he had no pace!

 

Aguiar - 10 - MOM. Inspirational performance. Given a booking for being a Hearts player.

 

Nade - 7 - Great shift but anticipation and touch deserted him on several occasions.

 

Subs:

 

Balogh - 6 - Great save from R?earend.

 

Thomson 1

 

Mole - 1 Would like to have seen him on for the last 10 minutes alongside Nade.

[H2]

Kello - 5 - looked a bit shaken

 

Jonsson - 7 - Worked well most of the time, as well as contributing going forward

 

Zaliukas - 6 - That back pass costs him a point!

 

Berra - 7 - Looked commanding and confident.

 

Wallace - 5 - At fault for the loss of our goal, looked out of it until the last 15 minutes

 

Kingston - 7 - Apart form th efirst 20 mins he was excellent, a great attitude for the game, worked well with Bruno.

 

Karipidis - 8 - A super game, major contriburion

 

Stewart - 7 - He worked away in his battle with Murray and probably came out on top.

 

Driver - 8 - Smashing game, we have missed him. Gave us an extra dimension

 

Aguiar - 9 - Great to see him back. Super performance and def MOTM Looked tierd last 10 mins, but no wonder.

 

Nade - 7 - What a sitter he missed, but worked hard and contributed well to the game.

 

Subs:

 

Balogh - 8 - If only for that save at te end, but no, he looked pretty good.

Agree re ratings

[winston churchill]

wallace had a better 2nd half.

 

 

but as i said in the match thread.............i thought he had his pocket picked at their goal ...............and was the wrong side for fletchers tap in.

Balogh 8

 

Would agree with that but maybe give Kello a 5.

[husref musemic]

im baffled by the high ratings for nade.

 

Pace - 1 behind at all times. could not beat or keep up with team mates or defenders.

1st touch - like that of an elephant, either ended up as a pass to the oposition or too far ahead to be of use.

shots on goal - tap in at end was the end of a poor game.

 

Simply not good enough, slow, not sharp - a poor man's jamie mole.

__________________

[Gambo]

Kello 6 Handling fine, kicking dreadful.

 

Jonsson 6 Left Riordan alone at back post too often.

Berra 7 Fine game, hardlines with header

Zaliukas 6 Shocking backpass, but solid enough.

Wallace 6 Better second half

 

Karipidis 6 Got stuck in

Stewart 6 As Karipidis

Kingston 6 Okay going forward (you don't need to beat the player twice though), but a lazy git when tracking back.

Driver 8 Brilliant shift

Bruno 9 MOTM Great goal and brilliant display

 

Nade 7 Good shift, nice on the ball at times, good goal chopped off, but that miss!!

 

 

Balogh 8 Did what he had to do including the great save at the end.

 

 

Ref 4 Reluctant to dish out meritted(imo) yellows to the reptiles early on, and major blunder with the Nade 'goal'.

 

Overall whilst gutted we did not take the 3points we thoroughly deserved i was pleased with the team effort and with the style of play we produced, after what we have had to endure the last few weeks it was enjoyable to watch, the only thing missing was the goal to give us what we deserved.

 

Well done to the team, CL(i take it since we did not get beat, he picked it;)) and to the fans. We(the fans) owned Fester Road today.

[benny]

Really enjoyed the game.Good game.

 

Kello 4 Put it down to a head knock.

 

Jonsson 4 Sorry i thought he was awful.why give ratboy the freedom of fester road.

Ratings: -

 

Kello - 4 - Dodgy kicking almost sold the jerseys

Jonsson - 7 - Played Riordan the way we've needed to play him over the past few years

Wallace - 6 - Better than he has been but still average

Berra - 5 - Thought he looked ropey against Nish

Karipidis - 5 - Sold the first goal by being weak at the second ball and was caught ball-watching on two occasions

Zaliukas - 5 - Almost sold the game. Had been solid up to that point.

Stewart - 6 - Anonymous but gets an extra point for kicking Ian Murray!

Aguiar - 9 - MoM by a country mile. Fantastic performance

Nade - 6 - Nice to have someone who knows how to play up front. Pity he forgot how to score!

Kingston - 6 - Curate's egg performance. Worked quite hard but passing was hit or miss

Driver - 7 - Unlucky not to create the winning goal

 

Subs

Balogh - 7 - Save at the end was fantastic

Mole - 1 - No time

Thomson - 1 - No time

[blairdin]

Kello - 4 shakey even before head knock - I'd have subbed him anyway.

 

Jonsson - 7 Rearend in his pocket mostly, but overlapped very well

Berra - 7 solid and unlucky not to score header

Zaliukas - 5 too casual thrpoughout

Wallace - 6 thought he did OK

 

Kingston -6.5 good going forward, benefitted from Bruno. Hopeless defensively

Stewart - 6.5 tries too hard at times

Bruno - 9 immense. If 4-5-1 is out formation, he is the man to release the wingers and striker

Karapidis - 7 like Kingston, benefitted from having Bruno in there

Driver - 8 ran his heart out and was constant threat

 

Nade - 7 much better movement (as opposed to headless chicken) and made ball stick up front

 

 

Sub goalie Balogh - 8 impressive debut in difficult circumstances. Two great saves from Rearend

[Buffalo Bill]

Kello 4 - looked uncomfortable

Balogh 8 - unlikely hero

 

Jonsson - 7 solid

Berra - 7 looks like a boy: plays like a man

Zali 6 - played well but shoking back pass nearly "killed" us

Wallace 7 - his best performance in ages

 

Kingston 5 - Woeful 1st half. Much better 2nd. Sell him.

Karipidis 7 - hardly put a foot wrong all day.

Stewart 7 - really worked hard. Solid, if not spectacular

Aguiar 9 - classiest player on show.

Driver 8 - ran the Hubbers ragged

 

Nade 8 - really gave it his all.

 

Man of the match: Jason Thomson!

[Flogel7]

Can't believe Scott Booth said Nade wasn't grat and he was lloking for more form him?! I thought he was very good today and he is our only striker who can lead the line on his own. He was our second best player today....

[Harry Palmer]

I think the defence done ok; considering they were up against Steven 'Real' Fletcher. Not too many teams would be able to cope with that.

 

So;

Kello-5 shocking distribution/Balogh-7 assured in what he had to do!etc

 

Jonsson- 6/7 at no time did I feel he was under pressure

 

Wallace- 6/7 better, comfortable going forward

 

Berra- 7 comfortable; more assertiveness as captain needed

 

Zaliukas-5/6 couple of nightmare moments! but we know there is a decent defender in there.

 

Kingston- 6 I've been critical abt his general workrate, today was better but needs to show his ability more

 

Driver-8 good to have him back, one player that can take players on and win

 

Karapidis-7 is adapting to his new position and today done well

 

Stewart-6/7 quiet by his standards, but not a disappointment

 

Aguiar-9 easily the best player on the park, and having been out for 18mths, says a lot. Expect 7's from the written press but we know the score! Great ** and general play was excellent.

 

Nade-7 an enigma, but I think he did ok today and should have had a goal, lasted longer than an hour!!!

[Johanes de Silentio]

Overall, happy with mid to front, but we're still a bit of a shambles at the back, I'm afraid!

 

Kello - 5 - why must we insist on giving a keeper who we know cannae kick the ba' hospital passbacks?

 

Jonsson - 6 - Great player - good today, although I agree that he left the back door open a few times - got forward well, though

 

Zaliukas - 5 - meh - capable of much better - shocking passback late on!

 

Berra - 6 - slightly better than Zal

 

Wallace - 6 - really poor until he won us the free kick for Bruno's equalizer - came on to a better game after that - turning point for Wallace? It's up to you, spudgun!

 

Karipidis - 6 - decent shift - good player - just don't like him in that role

 

Stewart - 6 - pretty much anonymous - kept quiet by Murray - kept Murray quiet - lucky the officials didnae see his swipe at Murray - it's worth a yellow to hit Murray, but not a red!

 

Bruno - 8 - top class apart form late miss.

 

Kingston - 7 - pretty good today I thought - where did I put my tin hat?

 

Driver - 8 - got better and better - great player and a right hard worker

 

Nade - 7 - missed some great chances, but played well today - our best striking option by some distance

 

Balogh - 7 - very good, bar one iffy moment

 

Mole - 1

 

Thomson - 1

 

Cracking match, packed full of incidents - with more confidence and composure, we woulda buried these ***** today! Ah, well - next time, right?

[Del1812]

Kello 5 - Kicking poor, but I'll give him he benefit of the doubt with the mis-control of the pass back, I'm pretty sure my head would be up my erse if I had a suspected broken cheekbone.

 

Jonsson 6 - Want to give him an 8 because for the most part he had a really good game. But he really struggled with Riordan in the first 20 mins. In that time we lost our only goal, Jonsson not looking too clever, so his points come down. Can see him as RB though.

 

Wallace 8 - Expected a horror show, very pleased with what I saw. Solid performance in both defence and attack.

 

Berra 6 - Individual performance was good but you have to look at a captain who is a centre half when the back four (collectively) looks as shaky as we did today.

 

Zaliukas 6 - Good game for 99/100's of it but my god man, get some concentration on the go. You can't switch off at all in the Edinburgh derby, Zal did and Hearts should have paid the price.

 

Karipidis 8 - Done exactly what was expected of him. He covered and tackled well and just did the simple things in order to let the footballers ahead of him play.

 

Kingston 6 - Showed his skill, showed why he can be so frustrating and also showed what a lazy git he is at times. Didn't have a bad game but he can do so much more. He also should have put away one of his opportunities.

 

Stewart 7 - Very impressed with the fact he was playing in a game where he was struggling to make his mark but he refused to lose the head. Didn't try to force the team onto his shoulders. He just played his part and played it well.

 

Driver 8 - Quiet in the first half but in the second... my god. Ripped Van Zanten a new erse on more than one occasion. Pity he found his energy at the same time as a lot of teammates were losing theres.

 

Aguiar 9 - 18 months? Pah. Reading some of the threads, I have a feeling some are suffering for selective memories because barring a couple of games, Bruno Aguiar has rarely looked this good. That is because he has often been used in a 3 or as a makeshift centre midfielder. This has always been his best position and I can't wait to see what damage he can do with a run of games under his belt.

 

Nade 7 - Point off for not burying that chance at the end in a game where he did show his worth. Could still work harder but he linked well with teammates and just brought something to the game that someone like Jamie Mole or Juho Makela could never do.

 

 

Subs

 

Balogh 8 - Very happy for him to start next week, couple of top saves.

Thomson 6 - No time

Mole 6 - Ditto.

[jamboron]

Why has Wallace got either a 6 or 7 in this thread?

He was his usual terrible self and his ever-prominant ball watching tactics cost us the goal.

 

He's only in the team as we have no other left back. I personally would like us to sign a left back in January and punt "shotgun" as he will not develop any more than he already has.

 

Who's left back at youth level?

 

I was beginning to think that I must be the only Hearts fan who didn`t rate him , but now I can say "Thank God" realising that isn`t the case. as you said he was doing the usual ball watching when they scored.
