JFK-1 1,675 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Well let's think outside the box. If people think there's a mentality problem when being kicked off the park by the hammer throwers have a motivator so to speak in the dressing room who will deal the culprit at halftime. You think those guys are kicking you hard? You don't want to have to deal with this guy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,735 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 The term 'hammer-throwers' seems rather meaningless. Hearts are a side with minimal footballing skill, who run themselves into the ground when we play in Gorgie. They aren't a bunch of muscular heavyweights, who kick and elbow everything in their path - which would be a reasonable definition of 'hammer-thrower'. Stevie Naismith is their central motivating force and he's a midget who dives more than Tom Daley. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,272 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 It would be a start to give people roles on the field of play and they stick to it. Far too often Arfield, Aribo and Kent are all over the place, appear here and there and no-one is actually pulling the strings or knowing where he would find these chaps. Hagi is a clever ball distributor with some attacking skill. He needs someone for protection too, but if you then have a couple of strikers and two real wingers that he can aim at, we should be getting some rewards. For Wednesday, I'd go ... McGregor Polster - Goldson - Edmundson - Barasic Jack Stewart - Hagi - Jones Kamberi - Kent ... unless SG thinks Morelos or Defoe can start straight away. Leave Kent and Hagi with some freedom to operate just behind the main striker then. The back four's main job is to keep a clean sheet and occasionally foray forward. Jack the enforcer in midfield. Once Kent and/or Hagi tire, throw on Aribo. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMAA 3,603 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Why did we play on Saturday? It is very rare to have to play away from home domestically only 48 hours after playing in a very tough away tie in Europe. Celtic were at home on Thursday and they should have had to play on Saturday if anyone had to. I think tiredness must have played a big part. You could say the manager should have realised that he needed to freshen up the side with this being the case though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but no amount of tiredness can be used as an excuse for how pish poor the team as a whole played for 90mins on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,717 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 The more I think about the current crisis, the more I'm drawn to conclude the dressing room, or at least elements of it, is out of control and causing major rifts among the squad. Every time I've seen something like this in the past it's been down to individual troublemakers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
