mahgrassyshoes Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Silly post. I know a lot of people feel the same way but it's stupid. Michael Stewart is one of the best footballing brains we've got in that squad. He gets absolutely chastised for every pass that goes amiss, but if 5 minutes later the fans new darling makes the same mistake they turn a blind eye. And before anyone complains that he's been doing for years, the reason we see so many mistakes from Mikey is because he sees far more of the ball that anyone else. He's the only player that comes short and takes the ball from the defence and he's the only player that is happy to hold onto the ball. Thats half the reason he gets himself into some of the corners he does, he picks up the ball short and no one else wants to take it from him. He very rarely has an option that isn't go long. Mikey is not in the same league as some of the passengers we've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats half the reason he gets himself into some of the corners he does, If he was that good, then he would have moved the ball on before he gets caught out. He tries his stupid turn on the ball and it's so old no-one is fooled THAT is why he gets caught out IMHO. This season in particular ( since he was made Captain in fact) He shouts and waves his arms around, and swans about the centre cricle too much! I know there are many on here who think he's good but there are just as many think he's not. It's all about opinions! However I think Csaba's biggest mistake was he made Stewart the captain. Personally think a couple of games on the bench wouldn't do him any harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think a couple of games on the bench wouldn't do him any harm. the opposite of knowledge. Sorry, I know you've not been aggressive here, but mahgrassyshoes hasn't contradicted himself in the slightest. Mikey 9/10 wants and tries to do the right thing. 6/10 that option isn't there when it should be. Noone seems to realise that MS stays in the team because he does the job Csaba asks him to. What we need are players around him looking to do the same. I quite like Pala, but I'll bet he ain't easy to play in midfield with as he very rarely gives an out-ball. Mikey's also the type of player that likes to drive forward, but he can't do that as there are no areas centrally being opened up for him to drive into and noone giving a viable option for the 1-2. That's part of the current tactics in a way though and it's not his job to do that, so that's why he doesn't i guess. He ain't perfect and I'm only pointing out his good side here, but the stick he gets is unbelievable. I remember Gary MacKay getting stick in a Hearts jersey. It was a similar situation: a player who never hid from the ball appearing to the unwashed masses to be wasteful when really it was his team-mates not doing their job around him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drylaw Hearts Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Just read the article from MS. He has a damn cheek criticising other Hearts players as he is one of the worst offenders. Someone needs to have a word in his ear and bring him down to earth a wee bit. They could maybe also tell him to stop taking quick free-kicks as more often than not he gives possession away.

rudi must stay Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 unfair. his commitment to the team can't be doubted and the only problem is that he sometimes tries to do too much when things aren't going well. course not. His ability can though, he doesn't score enough goals and rarely finds a man with a pass. It's time for him to improve on his own game instead of criticising those around him IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daydream Believer Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I've got no problems with Stewart's level of commitment. In fact I think that's the reason that he gets frustrated and dives in/starts moaning. It makes him a player I'd like to have in the team but not a player I'd like as captain. Sometimes when players aren't performing they need a foot up the ar$e and sometimes they need some encouragement. A good leader knows which is needed at what time.
