Garbage, still got no idea what he is. Winger? Striker? Full back? No.10? Deep lying midfielder?

I mean I've seen him in all these positions and he doesn't look good in any so is he just shite?

He's got ability but he seems to want the game to come to him. Really needs to work on his dig and desire if he's going to make it.

Lets be careful not to over-egg his ability.

He's OK at football. But with no brain or desire it is useless.

His goal at killie showed the type of player he is. We need to try and get him the ball in areas where he can travel with the ball.

He'd be a decent player under a half competent manager. He is what he is under levein.

No his general play over 90 mins for a full season shows what type of player is.

Austin mccann isn't jorg Albertz because of one moment.

I actually think this is one thing you can't blame levein for. If a player doesn't have heart and character that can't be coached into them. He is a total pussy. I think he has some ability for this level but whether it's attitude or just an inherent shite bag, he'll be in league one or two in no time.

agree pretty much.

Levein played him week in week out as his project; other players have been thrown out the club for less.

Anyway, I think it can be coached to an extent. Yeah a lot of it falls on the player but you have to wonder what is being said when conversations are had with these guys. What's been said? It's clearly not been laid on the line that he needs to show more desire or he's out the door.

Levein turns up on a Thursday FFS, how can he not be blamed for players attitudes? Levein also hammers any flair out of players as they have to fit into rigid roles and if they step out them and make a mistake they will be out the door. It seems to be if you “work hard” within levein's rigid Idea of what to do, then you're fine. Does he speak to them about the rest?

It's like Olly Lee, part of his problem is speed and fitness, I think he's not as fit as he could be, and so he's always seeming to be on his heels. I don't see any sign that's been worked on through the season and if anything it has got worse.

Heart can't be coached. Levein, for all his faults, isn't telling them to stroll about and take it easy. Probably is playing him too much even when dreadful but there's no one else really.

It can't be coached, but it can be brought out where it wasn't otherwise evident.

Clare may never get that bite he clearly lacks, but he could be mentored and he might become a player.

In a line up for a game you HAD to win. You'd pick Sam Nicholson, Billy King or even Gavin Reilly before this laid back imposter.

Villa and others were in for him? In hindsight if they'd wanted him, he'd be there.

Like Vanecek this guy, Sean Flair, seems a legend in his own head and maybe feels like he's doing us a favour being here?

As soon as the final is over we should transfer list Clare, Wighton, Lee and Vanecek. Another rebuild beckons.

He's an imposter and I wouldn't care if I never saw him 'play' again. He offers nothing.

Has it been established what position he actually plays? It seems we can't go two games in a row with him in the same position, with him even being chucked in at right back against Hibs Tim

It's a combination of him not proving himself in any position and rank management.

The way he thinks he's good enough to fuck about with the ball on the centre circle.

Cameron, Skacel and Hartley shifted it quickly in those areas, what right does Clare thinks he has to pretend to be Pogba, get disposessed, forcing teammates like Mulraney and Smith to burst a long to cover him. Usually Djoum lunging in for a yellow card actually. The only time I sympathise with Djoum is when he is having to break up an attack because Flair lost it.

tbh, I thought he arrived as a RB? You have to keep him in the final third, otherwise he'll lose the ball in dangerous areas - but he's not good enough to be striker and certainly nowhere near enough to be some floating, free role player.

Where did he play last night? I watched the game but actually can't think where he was playing or meant to be playing Warnock I just remember Edwards falling over a lot and the ball being battered through to their keeper on numerous occasions.

Right wing, I think, offering no protection to Brandon or Hickey.

Yep I can agree with this. The boys a massive shite bag, you'll be doing well to coach a heart into the boy.

The last couple of Hearts games I attended I watched him for a good minute or two player cam style, as well as Olly Lee (feel embarrassed af admitting that Warnock).

When we'd have possession there was no movement into space or offering themselves for a pass, or getting up to support the wingers or strikers. Their favourite things were placing themselves directly behind an opposition player so they would be unavailable for a pass - to the extent where if they had remained static they'd have been open to receive a pass.

Given how much Levein loves attacking players tracking back I'm stunned he lets Clare away with leaving our full backs repeatedly exposed when he's out wide.
