harvey05 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 The lads got promise. Should be on the teamsheet before Nade any day of the week! What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123kid Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 If he got more service into the space he was making for himself he would have got a goal I feel. What a shot to, I hope we handle him well, he bulks up and gets a run in the team. Could be an exceptional talent, for our up and coming golden generation :107years: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Tarts 1874 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Don't see Glen being a sucess if he is lone striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMHearts Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 We tried it at Dunfermline pre-season and Laslo changed it after 20 minutes. I thought he was excellent when he came on playing just behind Nade and I wouldn't be surprised if he started next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrahim Tall Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Playing him ahead of Nade would be daft imo, he'd just suffer from the same problems Nade/Mole have all season - no support. 4-4-2 with Nade/Glen's the way forward imo, atleast that way when Nade gets the ball and holds it up or trys to flick it on we might actually have someone there to get on the end of it.

amadjambo Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 The lads got promise. Should be on the teamsheet before Nade any day of the week! What do you think? What utter nonsense. Nade has been playing well recently considering the thankless task he is being asked to perform. Thought he was excellent today and all his performance lacked was a goal. The way forward is to play Nade WITH Glen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Gosling Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Considering yesterday was Glen's first 'real game' - Aberdeen was a scratch - I thought he did great. Fearless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, and the reasoning you give. Simply replacing Nade with Glen means the system will not change, it will just be a different face on his lonesome up front. Either playing 4-4-2, with Nade and Glen up top together, or a formation with Glen sitting slightly behind (in that position affectionately known as "the hole") makes more sense. We need to start scoring a few goals again, just to get the confidence up, and get back on the winning track, then we can move on from there.

Dazo Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Don't see Glen being a sucess if he is lone striker. Nor do I and I actually thought he linked up very well with Nade. nade is never going to be a goal scorer but get the right man beside him I think he is invaluable to the team. Thought Glen changed the game when he came on, well done son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmeladent?rtchen Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 The lads got promise. Should be on the teamsheet before Nade any day of the week! What do you think?

Maroon Mayhem Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I think if we got Velicka he could play the pivot in a 451 but with Nade only a 442 will work because Nade can't finish opportunistically like Velicka can. Until then Glen looks well worth his place partnering Nade in a 442. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Glen has alot of promise. If we could go 4-4-2 and play him alongside Nade he could work wonders. Aguiar passing the ball forward, Nade causing mayhem with the defence and wee Gary nipping into the space created to slot it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Gosling Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I think the bench is the right place for him at the moment. Having said that, I think he should start with Mole on Wednesday night as Nade should be rested for the cup game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack D and coke Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Looked really cocky and confident and you've got to love that in a striker. Best thing that happened to us yesterday was Thomson getting injured(obviously dont mean any harm to the boy)but our performance improved. Why we've been persisting with the likes of Mole when we have this lad is baffling. Must've tried to bull Csaba's mrs or something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie-Brown Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 The New Robbo. (Tin hat on) Robbo was the ultimate goal-poacher whilst Gary Glen isn't even an out & out striker - in 'the hole' between midfield & striker where he played yesterday is probably his best position, he can also play on the flanks or attacking midfield.

Spellczech Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'd rather they brought back Elliot and played him. Mole should be released asap. At a guess Elliot has scored about 6 in about 60 Hearts games, with about 50% of those games as a lone striker. Mole has scored 2 in about 20 games with about 90% of those games as a lone striker. The above are my gut feel not actual stats, and am not having a go at you, but I think Mole actually has more to his game than Elliot, he?s just hardly ever had a strike partner...We are killing these kids by asking 20 year olds to play as the sole striker.

According to LH....... Elliot has 10 Goals from 44 starts. Mols has 4 Goals from 22 starts. Apart from the goals to game ratio, I think Elliot has shown far more potential than Mole has ever show - particuarly his performences in 2005/06. He played the lone striker role v Celtic and Hibs under Rix and was immense. I've never left a Hearts match thinking Mole was anything better than average.

I agree. Playing as a lone striker is often a thankless task. It takes a particular type of player with particular strengths to play well in this role . Far more talented players than either Mole or Elliot have been used in this role by other clubs and failed miserably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
