We_are_the_Hearts Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Time for Wallace to get a game ahead of Goncalves. We need to keep Jonsson in the team to combat the energy that the Motherwell midfield has. Porter caused us a lot of problems with his aerial ability and strength the last time. Time for Zailukas to replace Karipidis. We need 2 up front to keep the pressure on their defence, especially given the state of the pitch, we need the option to be able to go long.

On that basis: Banks Neilsen-Berra-Zailukas-Wallace Kingston-Jonsson-Palazuelos-Driver Nade-Velicka Subs: Basso-Karipidis-McGowan-Cesney-Miko-Stewart-Beniusis Disagree with most of this. Goncalves has been poor but I seriously do not think Wallace is any better so I'd probably just leave it as it is. Agree that Eggert should be in the team. Do not think that Zaliukas should be anywhere near the team. Finally I do not think we can play two up front from the start as Motherwell play a 4-3-3 and our midfield would struggle as the wide guys do not seem to have the ability to tuck in and help out the central guys. I am also not sure if Kingston will be fit enough to start so on that basis I think the team should be:- ------------------Banks------------------ Neilson-----Karipidis----Berra----Goncalves -----------------Eggert------------------- -----------Stewart----Ruben-------------- Cesnauskis--------------------------Driver ----------------Velicka-------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Terraces Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Some very average rubbishy players to be dropped, some rubbish averagey players to be picked. Ensure defence gives away normal sloppy goals and leave to rest for 90 minutes. Motherwell at a canter. NT. PS, who said pick Zali? Blimey.

Horses for courses. Karipidis looks weak in the air to me and can get shoved about. Motherwell like to get the ball forward to Porter and he either flicks it wide or holds it up for the runners. Think Zailukas is better equipped for dealing with him than Karipidis. Just highlights how badly we need a GOOD central defender though!! As well as a RB, etc, etc!

sdoffstl Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I think the combination of Motherwells defence (generally big but a bit slow) and the state of their pitch make it an ideal opportunity to play two up front so i'd give big Benny a start and play him alongside Velicka. Agree with the OP about the need to keep pressure on their defence and keep them occupied and hopefully that will give our back four a few less to deal with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be harsh on him but sometimes different players suit different opponents/styles. Berra usually matches up with the target man in the oppo team. And yes Berra can cope. You've also ignored the fact that Berra has looked a lot more solid when partnered by Karipidis. Whereas when Zali was in the team both he and Berra were having bombscare moments regularly So the sum of the two parts in central defence says Karipidis and Berra. Even when Tall is back I'd put him in at right back if Kari keeps his form up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I'd play; GK - Banks because he has an authority over his defenders and trust from them which is something that none of our other keepers will have. If Frail wants to make a change about who is our number one, it would be better to do that during pre-season, not when every game is a must win. RB - Robbie Neilson because; correct me if I'm mistaken but the only player to have played every game this season. If this is true he has played with every combination of defenders and he'll know who to trust with the ball and where positionally everyone is which helps with offsides etc. CDR - If Tall had played one or 2 reserve games since his injury I'd be tempted to throw him back in, he is great in the air, wins 80% of high balls which will be a tactic likely to be used by both teams. Zaliukas has played a few reserve games since his suspension. He will be returning to a settled side which may show his better side of his game rather than 2 months ago when we were struggling, everyone was making mistakes including him, I wouldn't be too upset if he played, but I may be slightly dis-heartened if Karipidis was dropped. He has played really well and deserves his place in the squad at least. Although, I will trust Frail's opinion, if he feels Zaliukas will add more positives then let him play, it will be a big gamble because if we don't get the right result, you will be blamed. CDL - Berra, a good defender and improving more and more. LB - Jose or Wallace? Goncalves has been a part of this defence for a while now and I think we've had enough time to judge him in our own ways. Some say he is bad positionally, some say he can't kick a ball but others say he is an athlete with great pace and a composed defender. In this Motherwell game, I'd have to go for Goncalves. Motherwell will be playing the long ball tactic for the majority of the game, if a ball is played to the left (Motherwell's right wing) the player has to control the ball then either play it or start running, within 3 seconds Jose has run from the middle of the park to the winger, if he gets beat, the left winger should be tracking back to tackle the Motherwell player. RM - I'd like to see Cesnauskis start. He done his job against Celtic and has greater ability than Miko to controll the ball on an awkward surface. CMR - I'd like to see Jonsson play. Stewart has been poor when passing the ball, he always hits it too far or away from the player. In this game passing is the main tactic from both teams and we will not be able to keep getting it wrong, also Stewart had an injury last week, it may be wise to give him a reserve game or 2 in the next few weeks. CML - Ruben. In a match all about passing, he MUST play. A superb distributer of the ball. LM - It should be Driver, he will get more space than he did against Celtic and he will be able to create even more. ST1 - Velicka, top scorer, always a threat. ST2 - Nade, he is great on the ball and can carve out chances for others and himself, which will be important against a good Motherwell defence. Banks Neilson Zal/Karipidis Berra Goncalves Cesnauskis Jonsson Palazuelos Driver Velicka Nade Kingston to come on for one of the strikers later on, playing behind the striker.

Bunny Munro Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Banks - although Basso has a better goals-let-in per game ratio, he has no repect from the fans Neilson - best RB we have, gives experince and team spirit Berra - he's the captain Karapidis - because Zalis poor and Kanchelskis and tall havent had much reserve action since injurys Wallace - because joses awful Chesney - because miko is more of an "impact" player than him Palazeulos - i dont think i need to say anything about this guy Jonsson - Becasue hes better than stewart Driver - he can change games, generally scores early so subbing has little impact Velikca - top scorer Nade - only other decent striker SUBS: Basso, Kanchelskis, Wallace, Miko, Stewart, Larry, Elliot if we are 2 goals up with 15 mins left put larry in for pala/jonsson (whoevers played worse) and Kanchelskis in for karapidis (unless hes been world class) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelly Terraces Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Och cheer up! ;) ;) think the team wont differ too much from darkheid tbh, given frails comments during the week. stewart may be back for chesney, only because chesney was so dire for 45 mins last week.wallace should be given a chance instead of Goncalves, but otherwise the same side. would like us to play two out an out forwards (Nade & velicka) but it aint gonna happen (as Ksanavicius had a decent game last week) but surley we can accomodate all three if we want to be the team we think we should be, i.e. challenging the OF for the title. You just answered the geezers point there mate. Chesney gash one week, Stewart comes in, equally gash the next. You can swap all these duds around all you want, and folk can go on and on:blah::blah: about which players are better than others, but the end result is, these players are tripe and need getting rid of asap.

peebles jambo Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 time to drop both full backs, reasons, they're gash, end of, midfield will sort itself, who knows what team emptyheed will put out, but no doubt, no one on here will agree with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
