Geoff Kilpatrick Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Banks - 7 - Did what he had to do Neilson - 4 - His distribution was scary to say the least. Karipidis - 8 - Outstanding 2nd half. Held things together at the back. Berra - 7 - Marked down from Karipidis because he hasn't a clue how to organise a back line Jonsson - 6 - OK. Few good touches, few not so good Goncalves - 0 - How he lasted the 90 minutes I have no idea Cesnauskis - 5 - Drifted out of the game after his decent effort Stewart - 5 - All effort and no poise Velicka - 6 - The verminator strikes again. Was out on his feet again though Palazuelos - 9 - Ran the show in the first half before fading in the 2nd Driver - 4 - Mince in the first game against them at Tynie, mince again here Subs: Wallace - 4 - OK Mikoliunas - 3 - Typical Miko Nade - 1 - For running a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewbusbomb Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Bit harsh on Stewart as he was reported to be feeling unwell before kick off - he would probably not have played if we had any decent alternative - should have been taken off at half time as he clearly struggled - we picked up again after he was subbed.

DC_92 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Banks - 7 - Not much to do. Neilson - 6 - Didn't do anything wrong. Looked reasonably solid in defense. Karipidis - 8 - Solid. Berra - 7 - See Karipidis Jonsson - 7 - Played very well in midfield. Some good blocks. Goncalves - 4 - Had a couple of good moments, but I shat myself every time the ball got near him. Cesnauskis - 6 - Looked lively in the first half, faded in the second, understandable considering he didn't play last year at all! Stewart - 5 - Poor, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for not feeling well Velicka - 7 - Led the line well. Scored the goal. Palazuelos - 8 - Great performance again, particularly in the first half Driver - 5 - Not at his best Subs: Wallace - 5 - did reasonably well when he came on Mikoliunas - 4 - Did ok Nade - 3 - Didn't do anything, only on for 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magalufhearts Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Bit harsh on Stewart as he was reported to be feeling unwell before kick off - he would probably not have played if we had any decent alternative - should have been taken off at half time as he clearly struggled - we picked up again after he was subbed. Just back from game and Mikey was sick on the pitch! Still battled hard and deserves praise! Banks - 7 Very little to do but Effective in what he done Neilson - 6 Having a poor season Karapidis - 8 Best i`ve seen him Jose - 2 Good athlete but never a footballer Berra - 7 Decent from skipper Chesney - 7 Decent in 1st half, could always move up a gear tho Jonsson - 8 Excellent prospect and played really well Stewart - 7 Even though he was clearly ill he battled hard Ruben - 9 Outstanding, need i say more Driver - 6 not up to match fitness i dont think but still played ok Velicka - 8 Decent shift and really is a handful, Miko - 6 tried really hard when came on Nade - 1 Not looking like he did when we 1st signed him Wallace - 5 good run, must be in for Jose next week Ref Kenny "Goggles" Clark - 1 Fell for the blatant Diving by Morais, booked Velicka for a "dive" when there was contact but let Benji off with a bad foul whick merited a booking. Poor poor standard of refereeing, I still think the officials in the sfa are blatantly racist against the lithuanians, todays performance justifies that theory more than ever!

Neilson 5 Poor distribution Karipidis 7 Did well Berra 5 Poor distribution and no leadership Goncalves 5 Caught out with the boy on the wing, but to be fair Berra had him coming in to the middle to pick up Kerr also, stuck to his task and the winger never hurt us. Stewart 2 Ill Driver 4 Hardly in game Jonsson 6 Man marking job on Shiels who was quiet so done his job. Ruben 6 Would have been more but he disappeared after 35mins Chesney 6 Looked to cause them problems Velicka 8 MY MOTM. Goal and run his Heart out their all alone. Wallace 6 Like him in midfield. Miko 6 Done alright Nade 4 Looked up for it in his short time. Ref 0 GIRFUY Thought we faded badly after 1/2 hr, but Hibs for all their possession never hurt us, not because of great defending, but because they are p!55 poor. Winger for all the space he had never hurt us and all they relied upon was deep balls into the box() which we attempt to make hard work of clearing. We have to stop giving the ball away cheaply, any half decent team will make us pay, and Banks....what was wrong with rolling it out of defence??? Our play from our own corners/freekicks is shocking(ok we got a goal) and as for our defending of set pieces........what do we do at training?

Musemic Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Actually thought Robbie had a pretty good game today, whichever one of the Morrocan's it was he was marking never got a sniff in the first half. Okay, his distribution isn't what it could be but his job is first and foremost to defend. Don't really like these types of polls anyway - it's a TEAM game and we won as a TEAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved his effort on goal that ended up behind him. Berra - 7: Won as much as you'd hope he would against Jones. Good workrate. Karipidis - 8: Very good; won everything that came his way. Goncalves - 5: Not great; if you're a left back, STAY ON THE LEFT. Cesnauskis - 6: Wish we'd had the ball to his feet more often. Murray wouldn't have stood a chance. Jonsson - 7: Hardly flawless in possession, but incredible stamina and defensive work. Stewart - 2: Rank. Palazuelos - 8: Very tidy in possession, and tackles well. Really good midfielder.

colinmaroon Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Banks - 7 - In command. Neilson - 5 - Reasonable game. Not much came down Hibs left! Karipidis - 8 - Outstanding in the 2nd half particularly. Berra - 7 - Also commanding but poor distribution too often Jonsson - 8 - Stood up and was counted when under a bit of pressure at the end Goncalves - 6 - Started really well and his pace got him out of trouble. He was up against the only hobo to give us any bother! Cesnauskis - 6 - Started really well and faded but was chasing evrything right up until he got pulled Stewart - 6 - Lacks that cool head for a key pass but his hard work created space for Palazuelos Velicka - 7- Real poachers goal and should have had a penalty when he was booked for diving. The arm clearly went out from hobo Palazuelos - 9 - Superb in the 1st half! Faded in the 2nd as Stewart faded Driver - 5 - Not his best. Lot's of running but no composure Subs: Wallace - 4 - Settled in well Mikoliunas - 4 - Did nothing wrong which in some's eyes is like him being MotM Nade - 3 - Mouthed his way into the book but actually put himself about a bit Referee: K Clark AGAIN booked a Hearts (Lithuanian) for diving when it was a push! .....................

Cesnauskis - 7 Quieter today but did well. Stewart - 6 Poor performance but he will come good again. Jonsson - 7 Solid but would rather have seen a second striker. Palazeulos - 9 MOTM, outstanding the last 6 games or so. Driver - 6 Bad performance again, needs to be dropped. Velicka - 6 Horrific general play and effort but bagged a goal, fair play.

Spot on. ...not only is he competent, he commands his area and gets stuck into those that make mistakes! It's good to have a voice at the back, it does make a difference. I thought Berra and Karipidis were excellent also. Hope we stick with this pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorgie blizzard Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Banks - 7 Didnt have too much to do but at least he looks the part. Poor kicking tho, nearly every kick out went to a Hibs player however throwing the ball out to the full backs is unfortunately not an option at the moment. Neilson - 5 Poor season Karipidis -8 See Berra Berra - 8 Turning into a very good central defensive partnership very solid. Goncalves 2 Done a couple of good things - one of them was not touching the ball and shielding it out of play. He is a bombscare. Jose - please dont try and play football - u can't. Driver - 4 Went off the boil big time Jonsson - 5 Done not too bad but another one who seems to have went off the boil. Stewart - 4 Poor but I realised after the game he was ill - but shouldnt have played in that case. Palazuelos - 8 Excellent first half - faded a bit in the 2nd but overall, thank goodness for Rueben today. Seemed to be everywhere breaking up play, winning tackles and he can play a bit too. Chesney - 5 not as good as he has been since he came back but still glad to see him back. Velicka - 8 Put in a great shift. Cant afford to let this guy leave. Subs Wallace - 5 Looked good when he came on. Much prefer him in midfield than left back however....! Miko - 3 Not too much time but done alright Nade - 2 Not enough time but any longer on the park and he probably would have been knackered anyway! Ref - 0 Shocking. 2 Blatent dives from Hibs players and they win the free kicks, Stonewall pen for us turned down along with a booking for Velicka. Shouting at Chesney was bang out of order. Not got enough time to go on about the rest of his performance. Shocking. Overall - not pretty but this will do the players confidence a world of good. We seem to play well for the first 20mins and lose our shape especially after we score. This must be down to nervousness and I think that this result will boost the confidence of the whole team. This result could turn our season around - hopefully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Freewheelin' Jambo Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Banks 6 - Reliable as always but kicking terrible. Neilson 5 - steadier today but still poor overall Karipidis - 7 backs to wall in second half and stood firm Berra - 7 same as Kristos, committed and determined Goncalves 2 - I see a snail crawling along the edge of a straight razor. A nightmare. Ruben - 7 fabulous first half but needs to keep something in the tank for the second. Mikey - 4 I did not realise he was ill, maybe a manager would have taken the decision at the last minute and hooked him. Driver - 5 definitely on a poor run lately Chesney - 6 a real danger but must try and score more. Eggert - 6 committed performance Goal Machine - 7 must try and keep this guy. The Shootist - 5 got stuck in Miko - 5 looked busy Nade - 4 not enough time Frail - 6 should have made a decision on Mikey earlier The so called referee - 2 Corrupt, corrupt, corrupt.

Coco Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Banks - 6 - nothing much to do, but he did it well Neilson - 7 - very good performance, good response to a poor game last week - tremendous tackle on Murray Karipidis - 7 - weak in the tackle but reads the game Berra - 7 - solid today Goncalves - 5 - positional play needs to be sorted out Cesnauskis - 7 - great to have Chesney back Stewart - 3 - poor poor game - we've already seen this season he can't play in the hole Jonsson - 9 - makes the difference, strength, power, running, tackles Palazuelos - 7 - good game, clearly can't play in the hole either Driver - 4 - poor game, perhaps needs a rest Velicka - 6 - another goal, still can't hold the ball up, but more effort Wallace - 6 - slotted in quite nicely Miko - 6 - relieved a bit of pressure Nade - 1 - overweight Frail - more like it with the team selection Clark - shocking - many decisions the wrong way round Hibs - pretty poor team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Banks - 7 - No mistakes, one good save. Neilson - 7 - Solid performance Karipidis - 7 - kept shape well, closed well Berra - 7 - never really troubled. Goncalves - 7 - Did weil covering middle and wide when the ball was on the right. Morriasis was in his pocket. Cesnauskis - 7 - Solid performance. Stewart - 6 - Just not quite there today, Jonsson - 7 - great block, soild, looked much better today Palazuelos - 8 - MotM. keeps getting better Driver - 6 - did well in a packed midfield Velicka - 7 - always dangerous Wallace - 2 - a couple of good moves, otherwise anonymous Miko - 5 - Looked very up for it, could be back in the side soon. Nade - 1 - who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcjambo Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Banks 7 - sold as ever Neilson 6 - little came down his wing. Couple of good runs forward. Karipidis 8 - dominant all day (MoM) Berra 8 - got everywhere Goncalves 5 - terrible first half. Got better. In his defence Hibs best player was Morais and every Hibs ball was over the top to him. They obviously targetted Jose's positional weakness. He needs to work on this. Chesny 6 - great to start with but faded Jonsson 7 - good shift. helped Jose out a few times. Stewart 4 - I thought he was very poor, One or two good moments but rarely completed a pass to a colleague. Palazuelos 8 - we talk about technically gifted players. He's one of the best allied with a great workrate. Driver 6 - played in fits and starts but lost the ball a few times. Velicka 6 - decent shift Subs Wallace 5 - really helped shore up midfielsd when we started tiring. Great run stopped only by a cynical foul. Nade 3 -should have been on earlier to allow us a target man to hold the ball up Miko 3 - the usual mix of cr*p and quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a really good game today and deserves an 8. Karipidis is really starting to change my opinion of him. Amazing what a run of games in your natural position can do;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcjambo Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Christos was great against Kilmarnock and decent against Motherwell but today he showed that he can be also dominating in the air. I think he's showed that he's worth persisting with. Agree with all of this apart from Velicka. He had a really good game today and deserves an 8. Karipidis is really starting to change my opinion of him. Amazing what a run of games in your natural position can do;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tynecastle Valhalla Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Agree with all of this apart from Velicka. He had a really good game today and deserves an 8. Karipidis is really starting to change my opinion of him. Amazing what a run of games in your natural position can do;) Apart from his goal, what did he do to have a really good game today? He gave the ball away at least 5 times, didnt hold it up, didnt close down full backs, didnt make himself available for a pass on the same side the ball was if full back or midfielder had it and only won one header. It is amazing how people can see the game so differently. Fair play to him for scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToadKiller Dog Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Banks - 7: Competent and confident tho put too many kicks onto marion jones head Neilson - 6 solid if not much else pure robbie Berra - 7: good solid maybe signs of a partnership with Karipidis. Karipidis - 8: Top performance maybe could be capt and let Berra get back to developing his game.. Goncalves - 5: frustrating every know and again looks like a player then has a game like this (what are the coaches doing with this lad?). Cesnauskis - 6: not as good as last week would like to see him and miko for that matter take the ball to the byeline more often. Jonsson - 7: still developing another decent performance still the odd expected error. Stewart - 4: Not at the races but if ILL ok will let him off. Palazuelos - 8: Very tidy in possession, and tackles will be an important player. Driver - 5: Not his best please send him to work with a sprint coach to work on initial impact burst of speed.. Velicka - 7: scored again and wrongly booked early on did his job. subs Nade 3-worked a bit harder but caught clum's disease and got a stupid booking. miko 3- ok wallace 3- to many mistakes needs worked hard by coaches to get the good wallace back. team overall 6.5 not the best football but showed a spirit and fight. hobos 5.5 flattered to decive started the 2nd half well but did not create a real chance. ref -was there a secret memo passed around the refs in scotland telling them to be harder on hearts?

It is amazing how people can see the game so differently. Fair play to him for scoring. I'm not his biggest fan but again he came up with the goal. He worked his socks off as well. Peeled to the wing a few times and almost set up goals. Close down full backs? Think you'll find that was meant to be Cesney and Drivers jobs. You are right though, it's all about opinions.
