Ryan Gosling Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Balogh 6 - I'll give him the benefit of the doubt due to the weather Jonsson 7 - thought he did well Zaliukas 3 - disaster Berra 6 - solid Wallace 7 - great finish Miko 4 - poor Karipidis 5 - not a midfielder Stewart 5 - plenty of drive, no end product Palazuelos 6 - ok Aguiar 7 - like a new signing Nade 6 - great hold up work, the pitch didn't help him at all Chesney 7 - excellent cameo MGoal - should have scored but I thought he did well when he came on Audrey - boak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Good game, both teams had chances to win. Balogh - 4 - not convincing yet Jonsson - 5- okay Zaliukas - 2 - yet another mistake for a goal Berra - 6 - having to hold defence together Wallace - 6 - much better, good goal Miko - 5 - ineffective today Stewart - 5 - shades of last season's burnout Karipidis - 5 - okay Palazuelos - 3 - not at the races Aguiar - 7 best player again this week Nade - 5 - lack of effort Mole - 5 - should have scored, won plenty headers Chesney - 7 - should start next game, very lively Ksnavicius - 0 - waste of a substitution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazo Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Balogh 5 - What happened to the guy who played last week ? Jonsson 6.5 - Decent game. Zaliukas 3 - pish Berra 6 - Mr above average. Wallace 7 - Looks to be getting better every week. Miko 5 - Decent up until he reached the box. Karipidis 6 - Done ok. Stewart 6 - Overshadowed by Bruno but done well in spells. Palazuelos 5 - Not a left midfielder, struggled with the conditions. Aguiar 7 - Excellent again. Nade 7 - Really makes a difference to our team, needs a goal though. Chesney 7 - Offered more than Miko. Mole 4 - Bad miss but won a few headers. Audrey 1 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicTs Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Balogh 6 - Unconvincing but difficult conditions, Kicking needs work. Jonsson 6 - Always competitive. Still growing into position. Miles better footballer than RN. Zaliukas 4 - Accident waiting to happen. Makes big mistake in every match. Berra 7 - His best game this season. Won loads of headers and looked assured. Wallace 7 - Also his best game this campaign. Cracking 1-2 and finish. Hopefully the confidence boost he needed. Miko 5 - Not his day. Marked man and struggled to get going. Stewart 6 - Never dominated but was driving us forward near the end. Karipidis 6 - Some good stuff, some bad. Should be in at centre half for Zalibombscare. Palazuelos 6 - Asking alot out of position and in difficult conditions. Played well first half combining with Wallace. Aguiar 7 - Constant threat and is easily the best option we have found in the 'hole'. Excellent delivery but nobody wants to score. Nade 6 - Mediocre. Has some ability and strength but rarely shows it and no goalscoring threat whatsoever. Cesnauskis 8 - Did more creatively in 10 minutes than any other player on the park. A must stater for next Sunday. Mole 1 - Managed to get up this morning. Useless. Please feck off. Willow 1/2 - Why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Wiseau Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Balogh - 6 - Handling was safe, aside from the catching horror show. Kicking wasn't as bad as the Aberdeen jeers made it seem. Jonsson - 7 - Good game, got stuck in and linked up well going forward at times. Zaliukas - 4 - 89 minutes of concentration isn't good enough at centre back, not by a long chalk. Berra - 6 - Solid. Wallace - 7 - Best game in a year, capped with a cracking move and finish for the goal. Miko - 6 - Tried like a bear but it wasn't his day. Harsh booking for "persistent fouling". Stewart - 6 - Not imposing, but helped our midfield dominate the game and looks like he is enjoying having some quality back in beside him. Karipidis - 7 - Had a great game, I thought, especially first half. Aguiar - 7 - MOTM - It's a different team we're watching now he's back. Composure and quality there for all to see. Palazuelos - 5 - Player of the year my erse. Basic and contributes little. Rarely gives the ball away - but how many times does the player he passes it to have nowhere to go? Nade - 7 - Powerhouse display. Almost a shame he was brought off when he was, because even though he had been knackered for the previous 10 minutes, he looked like he was getting a second wind. Subs: Cesnauskis - 7 - Start next week fo' sho'. Mole - 5 - Terrible miss disguised the fact he won nearly everything he went up for and had a few nice touches. Ksanavicius - 1 - Hate him. Is there no beginning to his talents? Csaba - 4 - Just for failing to spark out the 4th official, otherwise he'd be a 7. Overall, I thought it was another step up in performance from last week. Given a couple of months (and a finisher in January), I reckon we'll be a decent side. It was never going to be an overnight job; but with Driver, Kingston, Cesnauskis, Tullberg and Obua all on the way back, for the first time in ages we look like we have quality and competition.

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Balogh 6 - Aberdeen fans didn't help him. Kicking wasn't great. Decent. Jonsson 6 - Good performance. Dealt well with Aluko. Wallace 7 - Great goal. Much better. Zaliukas 3 - Rubbish. Off form. At fault for the goal. Needs to be dropped. Berra 6 - More or less what we are used to. Karipidis 6 - Not as good as last week. Should play at centre half next week. Miko 5 - End product was poor. Got frustrated by booking. Ruben 5 - Kept cutting inside. Didn't attempt to go down the touchline. Stewart 6 - Committed. Did well at the penalty incident. Passed it about well. Aguiar 7 - Again another good performance. Seemed to be playing a very advanced role. Like a new signing. Nade 6 - A bit of confidence and he will score. Better than Mole. Mole 5 - Possibly should have scored. Some nice touches. Cesnauskis 6 - Created a lot more than Miko. Should start against Celtic. Ksanavicius 3 - Not a lot of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Ballogh 5 - Thought he might have done better with the goal, punched away a cross from a corner that he could have saved, allowed himself to be intimidated by the sheepshaggers behind him which affected his distribution. Would have been a 3 buts gets extra points for throwing the lavvy paper at the winkers behind him (was that ultra soft toilet roll?). Wallace 8 - Great game today. Fantastic display of individual skill to set up and score our goal. Played alone on the left as he had little support from Palazuelos and rose to the task. Put in some great tackles. AAburdeen were restricted to long range shots. Zaliukas 3 - He only makes one mistake per game but they are decisive. Csaba needs to get this guy to focus on the basics. He is 95% there but it's the 5% that does so much damage. Berra 6 - Got his head on every high ball. Marshalled the defence perfectly. Kept a high line which allowed us to dominate the midfield. Liked the way he consoled Miko after his booking - a true Captain's touch. Jonsson 6 - Everything we did good today came from our right. Linked up well with Miko. He made some good tackles and was comfortable on the ball. This young lad will be a top class full back, given time. Karapidis 6 - Broke up all the AAburdeen play in the middle. Protected the defence and allowed Stewart and Aguiar to dominate the midfield. Played some clever passes for Wallace and Miko to run onto. If Zaliukas is pulled and Christos has to play in defence, we will miss him as DM. Palazuelos 3 - A left footed midfielder that can't play on the left! He didn't do much today and what he did do he didn't do very well. If Driver had played today we would have had the perfect balance on each wing. Aguiar 7 - He has superseded Stewart as the midfield maestro. But he did look tired today. He will be awesome once fully match fit. Stewart 6 - Better game than last week. Made some great passes and interceptions. Pity about the penalty. Mikoliunas 6 - Played great until victimised by the ref. Everything we did good came from the right and he linked up well with Jonsson. After the booking, he tried too hard and some of his crosses had way to much adrenaline in them. Nade 6 - The guy gave 100 % today. He holds the ball up so well. He gave many wonderful displays of holding onto the ball and dribbling past opponents. If he could just put the ball in the net!!! Subs: Cesnauskis 6 - Should have played on the left instead of Palazeulos, with Miko on the right. Got to the bye line frequently and put in some great crosses. AAburdeen always had two men on him. Mole 3 - Could have been a hero at the end. Ksnaviciuos 0 - What was the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Balogh 6 - kicking poor Jonsson 5 - Add him to a long list of Hearts players that cannot cross a ball.How hard is it to look up and at least get a ball close to a player. Zaliukas 4 - Another horrendious mistake.Played okay after but the damage was done. Berra 7 - Good game. Wallace 7 - Good goal and best performance this season. Miko 4 - Rubbish. Karipidis 7 - Thought he played well. Stewart 7 - Always involved.Will benefit playing beside Bruno. Palazuelos 5 Started well but faded out. Aguiar 7 - Good game. Nade 5 - Spoilt a battling performance with another sitter. Chesney 6 - Looked good Mole- 5 Should have scored but led the line well Audrey -Waste of space.

The Old Tolbooth Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Balogh 5 (difficult to judge a keeper who had nothing to do really) Jonsson 4 (thought he had a very poor game today) Zaliukas 2 (MURDER!!!) Berra 7 (solid at the back today and felt he wiped Zals arse on a few occasions) Wallace 6 (much better from the lad, keep it up) Mikoliunas 6 (thought he was good until his unjustified booking which he never recovered from) Stewart 7 (played well and burst forward a lot more than normal, found lots of feet with passes and put a decent shift in) Karipidis 7 (thought he was good again today and is really warming to his new found role, well done Kari) Palazuelos 6 (did well for his first game for ages, would like to see more of him) Nade 8 (thought he ran his socks off today, and although he never looks like he's gonna be an athlete, his first touch and close ball control, and hold up play was superb, nice to see him continue his decent form from last week and my MOM) Aguiar 7 (another gritty shift and did a lot of work today, however let himself down with a blatant dive which conned the ref right in front of the dugouts and was I don't like to see that.) Mole 0 (who the firk told this chump he was a football player ffs!!!) Cesnauskis 5 (should have came on earlier, or if he was properly fit then should have started the game to fill the void that Driver left, played well and was the one guy who could have damaged them on the flanks) Ksanavicius 1 (no real time to make any sort of impact) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've laid into him in the past, but his general play and effort were excellent today. Stewart has presence but actually doesn't do very much that comes off, and he has developed the Hartley habit of shouting at others when he fouls up. In general, a great effort in terrible conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of investment in forwards is costing us every week and no amount of patience or excuses about age is ever going to hide the fact that he will never be good enough. What do you want from this season? We have a young team out there and they are bound to be inconsistent and individual players are bound to be inconsistent. Mole has had a tough time this season being asked to play alone up front and he has been failing to get in the middle and be in a position to take shots. Today he was only on the pitch a few mins but managed to get into a potential scoring position. Mole's all-round game is actually quite good. He can win headers, has a bit of pace, energy and strength, makes intelligent runs in the channels and rarely gets caught offside. When isolated today Aberdeen had 3 men on him at times which is illustrative of the problems he caused them and also the lack of support that we give our front man. In short there is a lot more that is promising about Mole than there was in Elliot yet he got 1 and a half season worth of chances. I don't care that his loan at QOTS didn't work for him as I have no idea why he failed to get going there, just as you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a Game Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Balogh 6. Not much to do. Confident handling and positioning apart from one horrible spill. Wallace 7. His best game for months. Good driving run for his goal. More like it. Berra 6. Showed some good captaincy today at times. Untroubled during the game Zaluikas 4. Stupidity and arrogance cost is a goal. Unforgivable. Jonnson 7. Excellent, especially in the first half (MOM) Miko 6 The usual effort but not much end result. Unfairly booked. Stewart 7. A decent game Aquiar 7. As above Karapidis 6. Not bad but not as effective as he could be Palazuelos 0 (Zero) Contributed nothing so you can hardly give him any points. A waste of a jersey Nade 6. Not the incisive striker we need but did okay Chesney 7. Looked very sharp and should be ahead of Kingston IMO Mole 3. Clearly not good enough.

Guest Freewheelin' Jambo Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Balogh - 5 not scared to come of fhis line, but was intimidated by the sheepmounters behind him in the second half. Eggert - 6 growing into the role The Gunslinger - 7 goal reminiscent of that glory night in Killie Berra - 6 steady but not great D*ckhead - 3 eff off Ruben - 4 played out of position and it showed Mikey - 6 started slow but gave his all and really bust a gut Bruno - 8 a master class in running off the ball. Dead ball stuff point deducted. Kristos - 7 unfussy and did what was required. Miko - 5 tried but nothing came off for him Nade - 9 immense, ball glued to his feet, just can't seem to score though. Chesney - 6 two men on him whenever he got the ball. A real compliment Mole - 3 won stuff in air but this boy is a striker who cannot score The dwarf - 0 eff off.

tcjambo Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Couldn't disagree more with you. Weir never showed any ability to put defences under pressure and was too lightweight. Clum was petulent , lacked anticipation and I can't recall him ever hitting the ball with any power (even the Dunfermline game). jamie Mole on the other hand is quicker, more physically robust, more intelligent positioning and has shown an ability to beat players. When he adds a more consistent finish to his hard work , I think he will prove a real asset. Remember, in virtually all the games he's played he's been up front on his own. QoS experience is irrelevant. If your satisfied with dross like that getting a game week in week out for Hearts then that's your perogative.

Del1812 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Balogh 5 - Looked very shaky coming for crosses in the first half and couldn't seem to hold onto anything in the second. I think the JKB orgasm over him after the derby was a bit premature. Think Kello should get his place back next week. Jonsson 7 - Is out of position at times but done well to keep Aluko very quite and offers something going forward that Thomson (and soon to be Neilson) just can't. Wallace 7 - Took his goal very well after a nice move but he's another who needs to keep his concentration up, still makes stupid mistakes and bad passes. Berra 7 - Defending was good but he looked like Bambi on ice with the ball at his feet in these conditions. Zaliukas 5 - Typical Zaliukas, apart from some shaky play with the ball he had a fine game... except for one moment. As per with him it was a grave error that cost us the goal, hesitated on a through ball that should have been dumped into the stand and we were 1-0 down. Karipidis 8 - Another top game from Kari who appears to be growing in this position, apart from one slack pass he didn't put a foot wrong all game and again had a very impressive run. Mikoliunas 6 - Unlucky today, on another occasion things would have came off better for him but he battled away and didn't give up. Substituted before his confidence collasped. Palazuelos 6 - Who? Oh aye him. His selection was strange over Cesnauskis and his performance backed up that assertion, baffling that he lasted the 90 minutes because in a game when we where chasing a win for all of it, he just didn't do anything. Stewart 7 - More quiet than usual but he was at the centre of just about everything good we did in the second half. Aguiar 8 - Played maybe a little too far forward as he was basically playing up front today but you cannot fault the quality of the lad. Some of his crosses left a little to be desired but some were fantastic balls into the box that really should have had a maroon jersey busting a gut to get on the end of. Nade 7 - On the ball play 10/10. Off the ball play 3/10. He really has talent but has to get the finger out at times and stop being a spectator until the ball comes to him. No wonder the guy never scores, he can never be arsed going as far up as the six yard box. Subs Mole 6 - Looked lively but **** me, what a sitter to miss. Cesnauskis 7 - Showed why he should have started with a dangerous cameo. Ksanavicius 5 - Can we raise cash to get a contract out on this guys life?

QoS experience is irrelevant. As I said to Spell it is your perogative. You are clearly watching a completely different player to me but it's all about opinions and Csaba seems to agree with yours for now. However, I can't believe for a second that he isn't privately cursing that idiot Romanov and his signing policy as he has clearly handicapped us big time and we are chucking away points because of it. As far as I'm concerned you can tell whether a striker has what it takes fairly quickly and we are are talking about a player who is playing his 3rd season of first team football. He has at NO time looked like he would score regular goals for Hearts, he has at NO time shown any natural penalty box instinct, he has shown NO compusure in front of goal, he has shown NO desire to get into the 6 yard box and he has shown NO likelihood that these things are going to happen anytime soon. I will give you that his attitude his 100% better than Clum's and that he would appear to be a decent guy prepared to work hard for the team. Big deal. Whether he is better than Clum is neither here nor there, neither are or will ever be good enough to play up front for Heart of Midlothian. Embarassing that's what we have as our main strikers.

Guest Freewheelin' Jambo Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 As I said to Spell it is your perogative. You are clearly watching a completely different player to me but it's all about opinions and Csaba seems to agree with yours for now. However, I can't believe for a second that he isn't privately cursing that idiot Romanov and his signing policy as he has clearly handicapped us big time and we are chucking away points because of it. As far as I'm concerned you can tell whether a striker has what it takes fairly quickly and we are are talking about a player who is playing his 3rd season of first team football. He has at NO time looked like he would score regular goals for Hearts, he has at NO time shown any natural penalty box instinct, he has shown NO compusure in front of goal, he has shown NO desire to get into the 6 yard box and he has shown NO likelihood that these things are going to happen anytime soon. I will give you that his attitude his 100% better than Clum's and that he would appear to be a decent guy prepared to work hard for the team. Big deal. Whether he is better than Clum is neither here nor there, neither are or will ever be good enough to play up front for Heart of Midlothian. Embarassing that's what we have as our main strikers. Agreed. The fact he has had three seasons in the senior squad speaks volumes. After three seasons as a senior Robbo was already banging in goals, so was Crabbo with even less. Strikers are born not made. Jamie ain't no striker. We do not have one at the club. And we do not have a fall back of a JC or Paul Hartley/Skacel either. And don't look likely to. Spelly is as usual trying to "see beyond the common herd's view". As usual he is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi must stay Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Balogh - 6 looked pretty comfortable despite the conditions Jonsson - 6 their winger beat him everytime but he looked decent going forward Zaliukas - 5 too many mistakes again from him Berra - 6 coped well against Miller Wallace - 6 well taken goal and looked more assured defensively than he has in a while Mikoliunas - 6 didn't really do anything today Karipidis - 6 didn't play as well as he did in the derby but he was effective at stopping their counter-attacks Stewart - 7 quiet game for him for most of the game, but in the last 20 minutes he was superb Aguiar - 8 MOTM. Didn't waste a pass today Palazuelos - 6 probably not a left winger. Did okay though Nade - 6 tried hard subs Mole - 6 caused them a lot of problems, really should have scored though Cesnauskis - 6 great sub from Csaba. Some good crosses from him, he was also unlucky with his shot getting cleared off the line Ksanavicius - 4 pointless sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisley Jambo Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Balogh 5 - Accident waiting to happen Jonsson 7 - Did well Wallace 8 - Great Goal Berra 7 - Poor goal but good apart Zaliukas 6 - We're stuck with him Stewart 7 - Happy with display Aguiar 7 - Glad he is back Karipidis 7 - Good effort Palazuelos 6 - O.K Miko 6 - Joke caution but I'd get rid of him or Cesnauskis for good Nade 6 - Good effort but lacking class Subs Cesnauskis 3 - More time required but I'd get rid of him or Miko for good Mole 2 - O.K touches until miss Ksanavicius 1 - Romanov's love child If only we had more Scots. I'm sure we are paying top dollar for foreign pi5h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertonian_II Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Balogh 5 Ho hum not terribly convincing Jonsson 6 maybe better than RN but still canny pass water Zaliukas 4 BOMBSCARE yet another blunder leading to a goal Berra 7 Consistent Wallace 6 crap start but once he got goal improved Mikoliunus 4 Usual meaty performance ie mince Aguair 8 like having a new signing. Needs to avoid the going for glory moments Palazuelos 5 Bit part player Stewart 6 Hard working again but some awful passing Nade 7 Worked very hard, just needs a goal Karapedis 6 Nothing spectacular Cesnauskis 6 should have started instead of Mikoliunus Mole 3 other than the miss................ Shorty 1 usual misplaced passes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del1812 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 not sure about that mate. He did well today considering the conditions Bit worrying Jamie Langfield did better though. No excuse from Balogh for being unable to handle a slow high bouncing ball when there was no-one near him. Also badly misjudged three crosses in the first half.

Beats Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I'm not all that convinced with the goalkeeper to be honest.Few scary moments today and as it has been pointed out he made a bit of a howler at hobo hill last week.Think a keeper centre half and striker should be on the shopping list in Jan.

Dave Ross Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Balogh 6. Not much to do. Confident handling and positioning apart from one horrible spill. Wallace 7. His best game for months. Good driving run for his goal. More like it. Berra 6. Showed some good captaincy today at times. Untroubled during the game Zaluikas 4. Stupidity and arrogance cost is a goal. Unforgivable. Jonnson 7. Excellent, especially in the first half (MOM) Miko 6 The usual effort but not much end result. Unfairly booked. Stewart 7. A decent game Aquiar 7. As above Karapidis 6. Not bad but not as effective as he could be Palazuelos 0 (Zero) Contributed nothing so you can hardly give him any points. A waste of a jersey Nade 6. Not the incisive striker we need but did okay Chesney 7. Looked very sharp and should be ahead of Kingston IMO Mole 3. Clearly not good enough. Missed a sitter Ksanavicious 0 contributed the same as Palazuelos. Just didnt do it for as long What a retarded opinion on Ruben. A player who had a shift playing out of position. Not where he would want to play but no-one else could play there. If you couldn't see class from him get a ****ing grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawjambo74 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Balogh 6 - Seemed a bit shaky at times but will put it down to conditions Wallace 7 - Took goal well. Solid performance Berra 7 - Decent display Zaliukas 6 - Apart from mistake at goal thought he did well Stewart 7 - Always wants to get involved. He deserved a goal after all his efforts Aguiar 8 - We have missed him so much. Always eager to get forward. Best man on park again today Karipidis 7- broke up attacks and linked play with midfield. Palazuelos 6 - Thought he was totally lost at times. Not one of his better games but don't think conditions suited his play. Miko 6 - Needs to get more involved. Nade 7 - His 1st touch is terrible. If he could control the ball without it going 3 feet away then we might have a chance. Can't complain about his all round play though as when the ball is at his feet he can beat players at ease.

Only a Game Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 What a retarded opinion on Ruben. A player who had a shift playing out of position. Not where he would want to play but no-one else could play there. If you couldn't see class from him get a ****ing grip. Anyone else think Ruben was class today, or has been class at any time during his contracted period so far ? He had a couple of decent parts of games last season. Thats not class in my book. He isnt class. Full stop. He's left footed. What was so difficult about asking him to play left midfield ? Cant beat a player Cant tackle Loses possession constantly Cant pass Doesnt get himself in a position to receive a pass Has no heart for it See ya Ruben !!

Bickfest Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Balogh 6 - Looks solid enough Jonsson 7 - Bags of energy. Zaliukas 3 - Concentration lapse cost us dear - again. Time for a change Csaba. Berra 6 - Good dependable display. Wallace 8 - Much improved defensively. Cracking goal. MOTM Miko 4 - Not at his best, but that's wingers for you. Karipidis 8 - Classy display. Stewart 7 - Lots of drive, good vision. Better in second half. De facto captain Aguiar 8 - Terrific again. Lots of creativity and movement. Palazuelos 6 - Didn't do much right or wrong (but may be reason Wallace played so well?) Nade 7 - Great control. A real handful. Needs a goal or two. Chesney 7 - Excellent. Larry who? Mole 4 - Did OK, also a handful but should have scored. Ksana 0 - Hopefully Santa will need all his elves this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on OAG, do you like Miko by any chance? Ruben gets his first start in tricky conditions too where there`s far more scope for misjudgements and errors. Can`t pass??? FFs, that`s the biggest bol locks i`ve read on here for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winston churchill Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Balogh - 6 - apart from the one he spilled,he did okay. Jonsson - 7 - Good game, got stuck in and linked up well going forward at times. Zaliukas - 3 - i close my eyes every time the ball comes near him Berra - 7 - won his battle with millar. Wallace - 7 - Best game this season, cracking move and finish for the goal. Miko - 6 - did nothing after his unfair booking Stewart - 6 - started and finished the game well Karipidis - 6 - had a good first ,steady in the second Aguiar - 8 - best player on the park again Palazuelos- 5 -you can see he has been out for a while. Nade - 7 - held the ball up well Cesnauskis - 7 - i still think he's a better player than miko Mole - 4 - my eight yearold could have tucked that chance away. Ksanavicius - 1 - number 29 slept with a football player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamcow1 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 balogn---6----not bad, dropped the ball in 2nd half but il put that down t the conditions jonsson---6--- again not bad seems to be growin into rb well berra---7---overall as always really solid, needs to organize his defencive team mates more and give out more abuse to the guys that are making mistakes wallace---6--- great goal, great run, and was pretty good defensivly miko---5---for a wide player just didnt seemto be going down the flanks enough for me stewart---7--- really good gets tucked in! karipidis---7---im all for him in this holding role, keeps getting better in it bruno---7---you wouldnt think he has spent 18months on the sidelines ruben---5---didnt notice him much during the game, not saying he had a bad game, just i didnt see anything frm him worth mentioning, nade---7--- thought it was one of his better games, he aint a goal scorer that is for sure but he seems to be chasing things down better and has great footwrk and control(after his first touch) causes opposing defence problems. was my man o the match...mind you i was a bit drunk during the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
