HNT: Tullberg's return

18.11.2008

 

Hearts boss Csaba Laszlo today revealed that Mike Tullberg is likely to resume full first team training at the end of this week, ahead of a possible return to action against Rangers.

 

The Danish hitman has been out of action for a month with a thigh injury, however after some intensive fitness work he's primed to rejoin his team-mates.

[Poseidon]

Be good to have a decent sub come on up front for Nade for a change

[Nelly Terraces]

'Mon the Tuborg.

[Guest JamboRobbo]

If the OP intended folks to think this thread might be about Mikey Stewart, he succeeded.

[Swimmer]

Even more interestingly, Csaba is considering playing Mike Tullberg and Christian Nade up-front as a strike partnership

 

Has Csaba hit his head or something? This is faaar too positive!

[speedbump]

If the OP intended folks to think this thread might be about Mikey Stewart, he succeeded.

 

I was thinking more about Galloway:eek:

[loveofthegame]

I look forward to seeing 15 mins of Tullberg and getting excited at the prospect before hes out for another 4-6 weeks...

To be fair, he says 4-4-2 is his favoured formation.

That is the formation Csaba stated he preferred from day one. He obviously doesn't feel he has had the forwards to play this as yet. Whether Tullberg is the man to partner Nade I have no idea, will have to wait till I have seen him play

[Swimmer]

To be fair, he says 4-4-2 is his favoured formation.

 

Fair enough, he does indeed.

 

Maybe we will start to see what style Csaba really likes to play if these two hit it off!

[Guest JamboRobbo]

That is the formation Csaba stated he preferred from day one. He obviously doesn't feel he has had the forwards to play this as yet.

 

Or he's been "advised" to play the 4-5-1. I think it's a fair suspicion to have, given that he says his formation is 4-4-2 but he's not played it, and we have the same faces are around (Korobotchup, Cernakov) that always played the 4-5-1 formation previously.

 

If/when Tullberg is fit and available, we'll maybe get an answer to whether or not Csaba is allowed to play 4-4-2.....

[Nelly Terraces]

I thinka frontline of Tuborg and Go-Nads up front v the weegie tramp 11 would work perfectly. Can't see their centre halfs, including that old goat that used to play with us, having an enjoyable aftrenoon putting up with that pair.

[davieholt]

I have only seen Tullberg play once, in his first game and, understandably, he didn't do much.

 

My concern is if neither Tullberg or Nade are natural goal-scoring strikers, why do we want both of them together up front ?

 

In fact is 4 4 2 not an extravagent formation in these circumstances ?

[Drylaw Hearts]

At the moment all Tullberg offers is another option.

 

How good that option actually is remains to be seen.

[alwaysthereinspirit]

This is not a negative reply to your post but how do we know he's decent.

I'd love to believe we have a real player on our books but the Pingu years have turned me into an out and out pessimist.

Is it really bad I thought about Pospisil?!

[Guest JamboRobbo]

Only if it's bad that you've now got me thinking about Mrs Pospisil.

Well, if he has - he's ignored it.

 

Csaba has been playing 4-4-1-1, not 4-5-1.

[Guest JamboRobbo]

Csaba has been playing 4-4-1-1, not 4-5-1.

 

whether you call it 4-5-1 or 4-4-1-1, it's one up front with a guy in behind. Which we've been persevering with for a year and a half since Cernakov arrived.

[hate_hibs]

Lets hope he' no injured after the rankgers game and out for another 6 weeks..

[itsnomarooned]

As a matter of (vague) interest ...... 4-5-1 appears to be the favoured formation of the U19s. It works very well for them as there are some attack minded midfielders in there. However, this does kind of indicate that 4-5-1 is perhaps what the club favours.

[buzzbomb]

Tullberg looked garbage. Yes, I know it was his first game and he'd been injured. I will gladly eat my shoes if I'm wrong, but he's not going to set the heather ablaze.

[marshallschunkychicken]

My first thought also...

[Genghis Khan]

No, we haven't but don't let the facts get in the way of your conspiracy theory. One up front with one behind is 4-4-1-1 and if you can't see the difference between that and 4-5-1, which is what we actually played last year, try watching what happens when we lose the ball.

[Guest JamboRobbo]

okay doke. Thats me told then. There is a massive difference between 4-4-1-1 and 4-5-1, which proves conclusively that Csaba is allowed to play 4-4-2. Happy now?

 

And I've not got time to watch what happens when we lose the ball - I'm too busy screaming at Zaliukas for giving it away again.

[Gershwin]

I hope he turns out to be better than the distinctly average Obua.

[Del1812]

If he partnered them I still think he'd play the same formation as we do now - which for the record I call a 4-1-3-1-1 - as it'd be pretty easy for Nade to slot into the role that Bruno is playing. The man hardly does his work in the penalty area and constantly drops deep or goes out wide. At times it looks as if it's Nade playing off Bruno.

 

Then we could drop Bruno into Mikey's position and get Mikey on the bench.

 

I'd quite like the look of:

 

--------------------Balogh--------------------

 

Neilson------Zaliukas-------Berra-------Wallace

 

-------------------Karipidis-------------------

 

[Enter fit RM]-------Aguiar--------------Driver

 

--------------------Nade---------------------

[Genghis Khan]

The 'massive difference' is, that 4-4-1-1 is Csaba's formation this season and 4-5-1 was the Committee's formation last season.

 

4-4-2 is a vain attempt to deflect from your conspiracy theory being unfounded.

[The Brow]

Put yourself in Lazlos place, he turns up for work on the first day, wanting to play 4-4-2 and sees the complete drivel we have up front. Theres this big fat student wandering on the pitch who claims to be your star no9, its no wonder we havent played 4-4-2! Mole and Elliott up front together anyone? No ta.

 

4-5-1 or 4-4-1-1 whatever you want to call it has made us hard to beat recently. Until Tullberg gets some fitness we'll have to get used to it, even then he may be guff and we're back to what we have just now!

Thanks for pointing out these facts. Assuming they are facts, not just your interpretation of what has gone on, then I bow to your superior knowledge of our formations, and who is picking them.

[Genghis Khan]

The formations are facts. not just my interpretation, as we've all seen them.

 

Who is picking them? That's an entirely different subject................

[Greedy_Jambo]

C'mon Mikey Tullberg!!! ya injury prone flop! errr i mean really good striker.

[Guest JamboRobbo]

The formations are facts. not just my interpretation, as we've all seen them.

 

I think all formations are open to interpretation of the people watching and even the players executing it.

 

If you listen to Csabas pre match interviews this season, he'd disagree with your facts though, and would suggest we have actually been playing 4-4-2.

 

Who is picking them? That's an entirely different subject................

If I was in Lazlo's place I wouldn't have signed 2 Goalies and another CM.

 

I would have signed 2 'fit' Strikers.

Tullberg was fit when he arrived at Hearts.

you are allowed to take them off if you like.

[vaders uncle]

I have to admit I saw this thread and thought it was about our ginger squirrel and posted the 4-4-2 thread before reading this one. Anyway I still think that mr lazlo should try out the 4-4-2 this weekend with maybe Gary Glen or no I can't say it, ok I will and I know that I will be slated for it - yes Adrian Mole or even bi Juho Makel (cannae control a baw).

 

HHGH c'mon the mighty JT's

[Drylaw Hearts]

Tullberg was fit when he arrived at Hearts.

 

On Trial - yes.

 

When he signed - no.

[IMA MAROON]

I hope he turns out to be better than the distinctly average Obua.

 

Obua needs to be given time.

 

Great to see Tullberg getting fit. I don't see the problem with this.

[Dave Ross]

Personally thought Tullgerb looked ok on his debut. Done well for the goal.

[7628mm]

I read a report on a reserve game not long ago ( although the game may have been last season) and it was one of the 2 Korobotchup or Cernakov and for some bizarre reason the team lined up 4-4-2.

 

I have not looked into it further but I have a little feeling that if (Korobotchup, Cernakov) play 4-4-2 in the reserves why on earth would they decide that the first team needs to play 4-5-1?

 

Answer on a postcard please Vlad you tw@t

 

Worth a little more investigation I feel as it may well be that they were allowed a free hand with the reserves but lacking in bottle to deny our tinpot dictator for the big team formation

[Ryan Gosling]

Obua will need time. He has a 4 year deal and is a long-term project.

 

Jethro is a young striker who had a bad experience in Italy and will be working hard to get himself a permanent move.

[toboggan]

Obua will need time. He has a 4 year deal and is a long-term project.

 

Why will he need time? Would West Ham have given him time?

 

Will he be here for 4 years? I doubt it. I expect him to start playing well and he may even join the exodus in January...

 

Thanks for the memories Christophe, Driver and anyone else who can command a fee...

 

I smell a fire sale.

You had me scratching my head for a moment there. Nice one!
