  1. Always found it odd how we've had a regular Croatia international of many years who is generally unappreciated. You'd think he would be the type of player (on paper) we should be aiming at. The years of him standing yards off the opposition letting them cross the ball in have driven me mental. Always baffled me how he has been permitted to do so by several managers Also weird the best game I remember him in was against us. He's had some decent moments for us undoubtedly but definitely needs moved on.
  2. Can't deny Salah and Firmino really based on what they did to us. That game just infuriating even now. Just a shitshow combination of circumstances (some self inflicted) pre-game and in-game led to the annihilation we had to suffer. We're better than that. But have to say they were fucking ruthless.
  3. Sometimes feels as if training to play against them you could hire a few 100 metre sprinters to run at your players. If your team can withstand that for say 20 odd minutes you're about there.
  4. Even when he wasn't playing there has seemed to been ongoing interest in taking him back to Turkey.
  5. That's the dillema. If this is how he's going to perform from now on then good. Just not seen it enough in whats been a problem position for us. On the other hand if he's got market value then maybe can get a better replacement with the money.
  6. I don't know with him. He's never really had an extended run in the side and there must be reasons for that if he can't displace Barasic. Would be ironic if we sold him now as yesterday was his best game I've seen him for us and looks transformed in recent weeks. It's like something has just clicked. He's small yes but definitely wasn't bullied yesterday and you'd think a team like Kilmarnock would be the kind of game where they'd be trying that. He seems highly valued in Turkey and it's tempting to cash in but if he continues as he is might be able to add a bit more to his price and see where we are in the summer.
  7. Calvin bassey motm v arsenal and has been performing well for some time now. Oddly our media only seemed interested when he wasn't doing so well. Strange that.
  8. Not technically called off but Hearts in the failed championship campaign about this time of year in the snow. It was obvious right away looking at the pitch it wasn't going to work. Game kicked off and was slapstick. Abandoned fairly quickly. Didn't do much for the general mood of everyone at the time.
  9. I don't know if it can be a red as didn't look deliberate (if that comes into it) but that's surely a penalty at least. If that's not what VAR is for then they might as well bin it now.
  10. Klos's saves in the Hearts 2000 game about as good as they come.
  11. Generally as a football fan you accept that those that manage at a high level professionally for a number of years know the game better than you do. They'll see things you didn't and in some way be proven right in the end. How Clement can see something in Lammers and appears willing to persist is an absolute mystery. It almost feels self sabotaging now.
  12. Genuinely interested by this because to most of us he's a mystery. So say someone else is in there playing where he does, what would be be missing? Say that was indeed Cantwell, what would be compromised out of possession? Is it just shutting off angles for the opposition to make passes and such? If he's going to persist playing it would be nice to appreciate something he does do well at least.
  13. I get your point and there's always a risk, but again if he's taken a gauge of the fans feelings as I said I think it's time to start ripping up the old habits.
  14. Will be interesting. I wonder if he has a gauge of the fans feelings on this. Think he's nothing to lose by changing it up and would get a positive response. I'm not a tav hater but the over reliance on certain players we've had for years just has to stop.
  15. Not saying "just anyone" and there's far more than just one issue, but at this stage feels that anyone that's willing to break up the old tavernier, goldson etc formula would at least indicate they're willing to try something different and show some ruthlessness. If we got someone new but that was kept the same yet again would be a worry.
