No, not "seen as an answer to all our prayers". Just that our defence has been terrible the season and that Zal is a good SPL Centre Back & decent leader who will improve that area without question.

Just that our defence has been terrible the season and that Zal is a good SPL Centre Back & decent leader who will improve that area without question. Logical really ! My point is that he is a mediocre player (good at best) but nowhere near the level of centre-half we have had pulling on the maroon jersey in the past. Let's just hope he has cut out the 'bombscare' moments from his play, & that he will curb his indiscipline enough to stay on the park for 90 mins.

Old Hearts Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 He is as good as any centre half in the SPL I think that says more about the state of the SPL than it does about Zal's (limited) abilities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeToonJambo Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 No matter what anyone might think about Zal's ability (or lack of in the opinion of some) there is no doubt that our best performances this season have come when he was playing. I have said before that there is a good footballer there. His problem is (hopefully was) his temperament and his proneness to trying to play out of trouble when the back of the stand was where the ball should have been put. For a while this was costing us a goal a game and I, as much as anyone, wanted him out of the team. The little we've seen of him this season has shown a marked improvement, which I hope continues. Some, of course will only remember the Zal of last season and will refuse to accept the improvement. There have been a couple on this thread already.

Clerry Jambo Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 I always affectionately called Zal "bombscare" which he was on many occasions. But he would defo be 1 of the centre halfs at the mo IMHO. Maybe he is just maturing.................like a guid cheese:10900: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have spoiled a good post by reiterating the "costing us a goal a game myth". I have asked his detractors many times for evidence of this; I am still waiting. If you look back a year, you will read that this ridiculous claim persisted through the period when we didn't lose a goal for several games.

deejtee Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 If certain people can start to judge a player without automatic bias with regard to nationality they will see a reasonable player in there and one who was better than a "bomb scare" in previous seasons and should be a good SPL player if he can control his temper.

Don Roberto Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Zaliukas has been sorely missed this season and those who slag him off are probably the same mob who had it in for Jose. It is quite depressing that some genuinely good news is routinely shot down the minute it is announced often by the ill tempered and the ill informed and those that can see only the ills.

Whereabout anywhere has his nationality been mentioned on this thread?? .... Dont know what your agenda is by bringing it up, but I dont particularly care for you playing the 'nationality' card!? My thoughts on him as a player are purely based on his ability .... & sadly I dont think he has an abundance of it. Far too prone to blunders to be classed as a good, solid centre-half IMO.

Guest King Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Zaliukas is our best player. Im glad that he will be back soon so he can play alongside Jose. Great CB pairing.

leginten Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Should be around in time to get himself sent off at Pittodrie in the Cup - if he isn't already suspended by then. I wonder if it'll be dissent, violent conduct or just plain attempted murder, as he tried in the Cup last year. When we're looking forward to flanges like him coming back, we're really stuffed. And yes, I do know he's better than the flanges that played at Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejtee Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 OH, **** He's lithuanian, I hadn't realised. You are right then. Bouzid must be one too because you will rarely see anyone make more mistakes than him. Actually I think Zal has made some mistakes but not as many as people like you (and the anti Vladdites) say and I have watched enough Hearts games over the last 40 years to have seen many worse defenders (as well of course as better) playing for us and some real donkeys playing in the SPL of all sorts of nationalities. Anyway you dream on if you think opinions on players over the last 5 years have not been influenced by their country and club of origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m not just saying this but i always saw something in Zaliukas from day one and he did have his shortcomings aswell though. But it`s proved one thing, give players who show the right attitude and a bit promise.......time. There`s no doubt he`s matured over the last season and a bit and now we look up to him!!!!

I think you're right - he is a cut above the two guys we had in central defence on Sunday. Yes, he was unlucky at Aberdeen, but with a disciplinary record like his, he should be looking to avoid confrontation with refs and other players at all times. I think there's a basic, insurmountable problem - he's a psycho. I've made loads of comments about Stewart's idiocy too - they're two of a kind. I won't bore you by dredging up my posts, but rest assured that they're there. Having the two least disciplined players in the squad as the only candidates for the captaincy is a recipe for disaster.
