magicTs Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Ruben Palazuelos after surely his best performance in a Hearts shirt. Along with Karipidis he totally dominated the central area and should deservedly keep his place in the team even with Stewart available. Maybe he is starting to settle and feel more confident and he certainly began to play with a bit of a swagger at times today. The fact Aguair, Driver and Nade are all getting fitter can only help and with Obua and Cesnauskis available as well we are starting to get lots more options.

Patrick Bateman Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Agreed, he's a very, very classy and composed player. Far more reliable than Stewart who tends to let things get to him far too easily. The only thing I'd like to see him work on is shooting and perhaps set pieces, because I think he could have a hidden talent at both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Michael who? Would be an absolute sham if Stewart were to walk back into that team after todays performance. In fact, I'd go as far to say that we are a better 'team' without Stewart in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 1974 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Agreed. near perfect performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With fewer players on the treatment table the pressure is on to contribute, work hard and sustain performance levels week in week out or know that there is someone chomping at the bit to take your place. It never ceases to amaze me how suddenly players are fit when things are good and yet any small niggle will keep players out when the team is struggling. The reaction of all the squad at the end showed that slowly but surely the dressingroom is healing itself after the last couple of seasons.

Dave 1974 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I would add though, that at certain times when i glanced at Ruben quickly, he reminded me of Davie Weir, which induced dry wretching and the boaks to be honest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With players coming back we now have options and players will know they will have to play well to stay in the team. It also gives us better options from the bench. We are looking like we will have a good squad albeit still weak in striking options. On the point of Palazeulos. My man of the match. He was the damage today. Brought that bit of composure when we needed it and most of all kept his play neat and tidy and didn't give the ball away once (that I can think of).

letsalllaughathobos Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 yep they both had a good game. well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboLad Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 No way should Stewart walk back into the team. the midfield seems so much more composed with Ruben, Kari and Bruno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Agree - not a fan of Palazeulos but he has upped his workrate and effort and deserves to stay in the side. Stewart's recent form had not been good in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilary Briss Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Yep, he was outstanding today. Best perfomance for him in a Hearts jersey IMO. The balance of the midfield was superb, defo more effective with Larry playing well again on the right. We dominated them until we started sitting back......Ferguson never got a look in.

bighusref Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Palazuelos is a classy midfielder, he should be in our first choice eleven for every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicTs Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Palazuelos is a classy midfielder, he should be in our first choice eleven for every game. With everybody fit the competition for places in the midfield is tremendous. Kingston Karipidis Driver Palazuelos Obua Stewart Jonsson Cesnauskis Miko will be out for a while and there is also the lad Mrowiec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemclaren Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Ruben played really well today but he still gets caught on the ball at times as he is lining up a pass. He has to learn that you don't get much time for that in the SPeeheLl!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
