Coco Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yes, he only puts in 5 minutes of effort a game, but in that time he can score or put in a team mate for a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Plissken Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yes we have. Composed on the ball and one of few who has the kind of devastating pass in his locker that can change games. With Aguair, Stewart, Kingston and Driver we have a capable midfield. I never bought into the anti-Larry hysteria on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Juan Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Did Shabba not hint during the week that Larry was indicating he didnt want to play although Shabba thought he was able..? If this is what has happened he can gtf. Not sure if i pick it up correct as Shabba does have a tendacy to ramble as we all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawrrrrrrr Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Cant say we have missed him If he had been playing as well as he could maybe, but he wasnt We are missing the fact we have no decent strikers, no defensive competition, no cutting edge in midfield and so many other complacenies which have been clear since long before pre season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Wage thief? Larry would have peshed on Wilson today, a mediocre full back. Chesney and Miko huffed and puffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also saw Larry at 13:00 today. He had his wee gay LV bag and was smiling at ecerybody, shaking hands, .... Then he jumped in his big Hyundai 4x4 and buggered off with his missus. So did we miss him today, maybe an in form Larry.. Did he miss us today, AYE, he didn't even stay to watch after failing a fitness test. Good clube servant that laddie:sad: Rod.

Generic Username Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I say no after his blatant lack of effort/commitment against Hibs. His attitude in that game was honking, so why would it be any different in a game that is equally as big and important on our calendar. If he's desperate to get in the team and start playing and giving 100% again, then lets get him right back in the starting 11. Until then he can sit in the stands.

stirlo Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Kingston is the only player in our current squad that has got the skill to turn a game. I accept that he has not played that great this season - but had he been on that park today he would have offered us far more going forward than any of the team showed today.

BigC Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 We may be missing him, but he deserved to be dropped. Sometimes it's worth dropping a primadonna even if he is the best player in the team as it's the only way to get them working for their team mates. Yes he is probably our best player. Yes we missed him. But that level of indignance must not go unpunished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossi_1983 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Definately Even when he isn't playing well, the other teams still fear him so he draws extra coverage, creating more room for others. Due to him not playing, Septic were able to put extra coverage on our only other player thats a threat...Driver, making him pretty ineffectual today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JamboRobbo Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 We've missed the Larry who tries 100%. But the one who goes through the motions ala Rudi second half of 06, nah, we've not missed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry did well against Hibs. He linked with Aguiar and Stewart and posed a real threat. We'd noone in the team yesterday to link play, pass and move, pose a ferkin threat. Larry does that. His 'laziness' is unquantifiable. You dont know what Csaba is telling him to do. Csabs keep going on about how this formation is 433. To me this means Larry probably isn't to track back too much. Kari's job against the Hibs was to track side to side and help the fullbacks. Laziness and wagethievery is thrown out all the time. Clum got it too for not chasing the ball, even though he'd been told by Frail not to. Larry is too good a player for Hearts to miss and I thought it was glaring yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makween Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I think that people are clutching at straws to an extent with this. When Kingston was in the team and Driver wasn't and we didn't play well, we were missing Driver. Now that Driver's in the team and Kingston isn't and we aren't playing well, we're missing Kingston. I wonder who it'll be when Kingston and Driver are both in the team? I vote for a decent centre forward, a decent centre half and a right winger who actually does the job that a right winger is meant to do, ie get to the bye line and create chances.

Each to their own, but I don't really think it is a case of clutching at straws. It seems to be the done thing (in the eyes of many) to lay the boot into Kingston, and perhaps the recent performances of the alternatives (and other regular starters) have put this into perspective. To answer your question, against Hibs both Kingston and Driver played, and played well. I didn't think we missed anyone that day, and can't recall anyone suggesting any notable absentees.

Fact is Driver and Kingston are 2 of our best players. Possibly our best, so obviously we miss them when one or both are missing. For instance, Aguiar rightly got all the plaudits against hibs, but Drivers penetration (oo-er) gave us so much, and Aguiar was able to play his tidy football cos in kingston we have a player who can play the game - give and go - retain posession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedevries Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Does anyone else not believe that the playing surface dimensions make Tynecastle too narrow to play two wingers? Since it was narrowed we have been poor at home with no real good displays from wingers from any team. 4-3-3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Kingston is the sort of player that if a team only puts one man on him, they will struggle, if he played on Sunday, Celtic couldn't have went man for man in the middle, it would have effectively give us an extra 2 men in the middle, arguably we may have won the midfield battle and went on from there.
