Laszlo: Break will help crocked Hearts recover

Published Date: 06 October 2008
By BARRY ANDERSON
CSABA LASZLO admitted relief today at beginning a two-week international break that will allow him to restore some of Hearts' key players to full fitness.
The Tynecastle manager was despondent following Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Kilmarnock, which ended a 100 per cent home league record. However, he believes better times lie in wait once certain influential figures return to the side.

Andy Driver and David Obua missed the Kilmarnock match due to ankle and muscle injuries respectively, while Laszlo is keen to augment the stamina and match sharpness of Bruno Aguiar along with strikers Mike Tullberg and Christian Nade.

"I am happy we have two weeks break, definitely," he said. "I hope I get back players like David Obua and Andy Driver. We can work on better fitness for Bruno and Mike Tullberg. He doesn't have fitness for 90 minutes, neither does Nade at the moment.

"We will try during these two weeks to get more physical preparation for these players."

Eggert Jonsson and Deividas Cesnauskis were also absent at the weekend. The Icelander's one-match suspension has now been served but Cesnauskis remains sidelined by a muscle complaint.

Hearts travel to Easter Road when domestic business resumes following Scotland's World Cup qualifier with Norway, and Laszlo wants the team to rediscover the form shown during the season's early weeks.

"We must go back in the past and take the power from the past," he continued. "This team needs protected and we need the help of our supporters. We lost the game on Saturday but we must bring the stability back. That must happen against Hibernian now.

"I don't criticise nobody in public. The players know the dressing room is where I give criticism but it must be constructive, not destructive."

I can only hope that the International break sees Ksanavicius pick up an injury that will force you not to select him for the derby.... he is rubbish.

Why can't Csaba (with all his supposed ability and knowledge) recogonise our best lineup?!

It does not have Karipidis in midfield!

Kello

Nielson
Karipidis
Berra
Wallace (or Maybury if rumours are true!)

Miko (Kingston if he can be bothered!)
Stewart
Agiuar
Driver

Nade
Glen

Kingston should be dropped soon, good player but simply hasn'y pulled his weight! He could of had a hatrick on Saturday!

Oh well confidence in the Hearts team seems to have disappeared since the technical glitch that stopped wages being paid on time. Can't even beat Kilmarnock at home.
Can't wait for the derby. Hibs 4-0 Hearts. Easy.

Hearts are half way down the slippery slope.

#3 All about opinions. for me KINGSTON was very good on Saturday. Scored/all our efforts on goal were from him/created numerous chances for our invisible strike force. work rate was as good as any HEARTS player & he carried the other three midfielders start to finish.

CSABA: why no mention of GLEN? If you want NADE fit play him for 90 mins in reserves as opposed to not all. Give palaz 90 mins for reserves(as opposed to NIL v Falkirk) & actually CONSIDER whether or not he is a better option than Karipidas.

Going to reserve game tomorrow.it should be used to look at optios for Derby NOT to give Mackela 90 mins to demonstrate what everyone already knows.

Not rocket science play our best players.

Stuart Cosgrove hit the nail on the head when speaking about hobos

Surely no club in history has such aromantic view of themselves as the Easter Road outfit. It only takes two good performances on the trot for them to believe they have a team that can take on the world.

The return of their prodigal son, Derek Riordan, seems only to have complicated their condition.

Rather than persist with the ludicrous idea that their brand of football is superior to all else, Hibs should build a team like Villarreal, hard to beat and only entertaining when the hard work is done

#6 Is it not traditional to predict a 7-0 win in these situations anyway?
Nice to see that a scraped victory over bottom of the table Aberdeen has given the Hibs fans such confidence.

We have struggled badly in the last couple of games - possibly related to the wages thing, possible just one of those things. But we're not suddenly a bad team. Who knows which Hearts side will turn up after the international break? It'll be an interesting derby match, thats for sure.

kingston did have a better game on saturday, especially the second half. don't see the point in hounding the boy for the poor games he's had when he has a better one, the same seems to happen to miko (who had one of his quieter ones on satuday). if kingston had stuck the late chance away just before they scored he would be being hailed a hero, but it's not all just about chances, his general play was good.

anyway, tullberg looks a bit of a plodder to be honest, mole needs to be rested after his wee spell in the team.

there are no easy games in the spl any more, not for us. kilmarnock were bloody difficult opponents that's for sure, perhaps a bit lucky to come away with the 3 points but i'm sure they will feel they deserved it.

hobos next.

Re best lineup, it seems that Zaliukas is the new Miko. He is at most the 3rd best centreback at the club but he seems to be first pick every week. So Kari gets edged in to midfield while Bruno & Ruben miss out altogether. Not good.

#9 don't agree about Kingston. He missed 2 absolute sitters although he was slightly unlucky with a header and a volley, I was raging at him for that miss at the end when the ball was falling perfectly for Nade. LK had no chance of scoring unless he was 4 inches taller.

Fourtunatley no one gives two flying ****'* what Stuart Cosgrove thinks mate.

Was a little fortuitous on Saturday I must admit but it is a nice lift for the upcoming derby (one which to be honest I couldnt say I expected). Of course Hearts were just plain unlucky on Saturday as usual I guess?

Anyhow it's a tight leauge this year mainly because the bigger clubs outside the OF (Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen) are pretty dire truth be told so we're making the Falkirk's & Killie's of this world look good I'm afraid.

Der Kaiser,

I though Kingston did ok. He should have tucked away his chance though...rolled it under the keeper or lifted it over him as opposed to trying to blast it through the goalies chest. Killie deserved a point and if I had to say which team would have deserved the win it's Killie again. We were simply not good enough on Saturday.
#19
I've been saying for ages Zal should be warming the bench, with Karapidis slotted in beside Berra in defence. It doesn't make sense to play him as a defensive midfielder when Bruno, Ruben and even Mickey can play there.

Anyhow it occours to me that life could be worse as I sit here chewing on my Ham sandwich.

Granted I think the current Hibs team is pretty poor but the rest of the leagues just as bad so we'll still finish top 6.

We won at the weekend and Hearts lost, theres another plus.

Also unlike many I have the prospect of supporting Englands "fith" club to console myself with..... Flying high after our Carling Cup win & surely going to challenge the dominance of the "big four" this year....

Ohhhhhh sweaty swolox........ I'm off to slash me wrists in the bog after thinking that....

Kingston was by a mile HEARTS man of the match...yes he missed a chance he should have put away but at least he was there to get a shot on target.as for NADE ready to finish at the end...watch it on TV.... NADE had ducked in case he got hurt.You are falling into the trap of shooting the man that stands up where others hid.

Cosgrove touch a wee raw nerve with his little summnation did he? lol

As for Hearts being plain unlucky, no we werent we were mince plain and simple, didnt take our chances Kingston could have had a hatrick, nothing unlucky about it. Tactics were all wrong players out of position, wrong substitutions were made, players playing who shouldnt even be allowed near Gorgie let alone playing for Hearts.

Im happy going into the derby as underdogs, i wouldnt be getting to c0cky about it though, like some are, it is a derby after all and anything can happen. You beat Aberdeen good away win normally but Aberdeen are hardly playing good football just now, the only decent team you have played so far pumped you at home 3-0.

To be honest i think the derby is looking like its going to be another dire game, and i wont be surprised if we are beaten, but it certainly will not be the 4-0 scoreline some half-wits are predicting, were the masters of 4-0 wins remember?

Guys, lets just see how the derby goes. I dont think either side can afford to be too confident although at least Hibs are finding the net and getting points on the board. I predict a shoddy game with a single goal winning it, cant see a draw given both teams defensive performances lately

Hibs have only scored 1 more goal than Hearts and i would not say we are finding the net by any stretch of the imagination m8.Also only 1 place above us and 1 point ahead, hardly great stuff considering how bad we have been. I agree i think a single goal will decide the derby, It really depends who is fired up more and who wants it more on the day, unfortunately we have too many dead beats and wage thiefs at the club who do not have the same passion and commitment for the jersey as we used to have and should have.

Absolutely spot on.


Csabah - Where is Glen ????????????????????????????
Csabah - Don't wish Obua back unless , he is the standard of player that you lavished praise on , not the waste of space that we have seen so far - though admittedly he definately needs fitness and time to adapt to the Scottish game.
Also - Nade and Ksanevicius will NEVER improve a Hearts team - please open your eyes.
36

Gorgie's Finest,

06/10/2008 13:25:06
On another note, the rumour going about is we will have Maybury for the Derby. He's been training with us again since last week and Csaba wants to get him signed.

Ukio shares nosedived on the Vilnius stock exchange today.
They've now lost TWO-THIRDS of their value in a year. That's gotta hurt.
The word in Embra banking circles is that HBOS have lost patience with Mad Vlad.
Brace yersels, Jambos, the ride is about to get VERY bumpy.

Newcastle Jambo,

06/10/2008 13:30:29
What exactly is wrong with Nade? If it's still his weight / lack of fitness he needs to be sacked. I know that's another £500k transfer fee down the drain but if a 22 year old professional footballer can't get himself fit enough to play for anything like 90 minutes he needs to find another job. This has been going on with him since the day he signed. Same condition as Pinilla I reckon.
42

1875,

06/10/2008 13:30:44
On the Cosgrove thing, I've met him and he's actually not a bad lad to be honest, very funny. His comments can be aimed at supporters from a number of clubs and I can name a few of my Hearts supporter mates who fall into this catagory..beat 6 weeks on the bounce then win 2 games and the CL is back on the agenda!

#19 and #21 - spot on guys.

#25 - Berra carried Zali last season and is doing so again this time round. He's struggling to concentrate on his game as he's having to cover for Zali's incompetence. A total liability.

#30 Kington is a complete luxury - something we can ill afford in a team brimming with overpaid mediocrity. He had the chance to score 3 further goals on Saturday. He may have the talent but he's simply not consistent enough.

Also, Csaba has taken this limited squad as far as he can. His hands are obviously tied. I'm sorry to say it but he appears to be another puppet. Otherwise I'm sure he would have Kari playing alongside Berra.

Following the last 2 years of asset stripping, a serious injection of cash is needed from Vlad in January. Otherwise Tynie is going to become a ghost town...
46

1875,

06/10/2008 13:35:59
Post 34; Fair enough re the goals but i just think Hibs possess a greater goal threat at this time. Pace and mobility from Fletcher, Deek is a natural finisher and Nish is decent in the air and has bagged a few this season. If Hibs can stop Kingston and Stewart I think we could dominate but the midfield has been less than inspiring lately so i cant see the 3 strikers formation being used against Hearts. An extra man in the middle i think

Absolutely nonsense. ALL clubs fans think their club is special. I read a post earlier where Vic said Hearts were not like any other club and people were falling over to agree with him. Its the same thing.

At Hibs we talk about Famous Five, Turnbulls Tornados etc, at Hearts its Terrible Trio, the 80's team, at Aberdeen its the Cup Winners Cup team etc etc.

We are all basically the same you know. Just support different teams.

(I read the article you refer to online as I wont buy that rag. Looked to me like he was trying to be controversial for the sake of it. Funny how all Jambos hate the press unless they are having a dig at the, ahem, Hobos)

"In January-August 2008, Ukio Bankas earned a pre-audited net profit of 85.8 million litas (24.8 million euros), an increase of 40% year-on-year"

That hardly backs up your claim that they are in meltdown. Or have I missed something?

another defeat - time for lots of slavering hibs fans predicting a 4-0 beating on derby day and how bad hearts are compared to the "mighty" hibs.
Cosgrove is bang on, a couple of wins and your predicting 4-0 beatings...think you should remember a certain 4-0 beating and just calm down.

hearts were poor. didnt take chances and when ksanacvicius was subbed on he would have been aswell staying on the bench and us going down to 10 men. he was useless. kari in midfield when he should be playing RB. thought zaulikas had a poor game but he's been great so for people to jump on him after one bad game (too many anti-liths affecting their judgement and just want him out)i can see why kari gets in midfield when its 4-5-1 but if your starting with a 4-4-2 there is no room for him in midfield when bruno and ruben are on the bench. csaba needs to start earning his crust now.

thought kingston was good but have to watch as he seems to have the attitude that he knows he is by far the best player in the team and he starts to look like he doesnt care. his first miss was unexcusable...great work by miko to put him one on one....absolute sitter..then killie went up the park and won the game. we need to focus for 90 mins on things like this especially at this stage of the season and get the heads screwed on right.

Pretty fair, and id say whoever controls the midfield will win the game. Im certain we will play 5 in there hopefully with the inclusion of Aguiar that will give you 4 to worry about and contain Driver, Stewart, Kingston and Aguiar. Going on seeing the Hibs midfield last week against Rangers and what hibbys have been saying that will be a tall order if all 4 of those players play to their potential

If Laszlo thinks Obua is going to add anything to this Hearts team, he's bonkers.
Tullberg on the other hand is worth a wee run in the team.
The problem Csaba now has, is very few of us believe he's in full control.
I think we've won just one out of our last five games.

If you read that article you will also have noticed him having a pop at Hearts. Its nothing to do with liking the press when its having a go at Hibs. The guy has a pop at everyone. You shouldnt take it to heart so much, unless of course what he's saying is touching a raw nerve somewhere

Everyday last week you mentioned the Aluminium plant as well, and how it was losing money. Funnt that you fail to mention it today could it be for this reason

"August 22 - Birac, owner of Bosnia's sole alumina refinery, moved into profit in the first half of the year after completing a restructuring of the plant. Since 2006, the refinery has operated using only 50 percent of its installed capacity of 600,000 tonnes because of low global alumina prices and the high cost of electricity and gas needed in its production."

From Reuters

Like last week you fail to post any positive and deliberately miss out certain pieces of information. Your credibility was shot to pieces then over an article you posted deliberately missing out a paragraph which was stating a positive.

John McCain's Frozen Chips,

48, Those profit figures were very misleading, and owed much to property sales in Russia. The capitalisation of Ukio has crashed from 730million Litas to 260million in 12 months. The figures are on the Baltic Exchange site.

51, Staff wages go through HBOS. But if Vlad doesn't wire them through a big bundle of cash quick, it will be Groundhog Day again. Except this time it could be terminal. Romanov has spent a fortune in the past month trying to prop up Ukio. Liquidation rumours have reared their ugly head again.
Don't shoot the messenger!

Another heartwarming tale on the dodgy Baltic Stock Exchange again today.
Mad Vlad Ukio Bankas share scraped bottom at 1.33 in Lithuanian funny money. Down a shocking 14% on the day.

For some people the glass is always half full.

Oh I wasnt taking it to heart mate, just had a wee point to make. Which is I agree that Hibs DO have illusions of grandure, but I believe most clubs fans do.

#19 Regarding Hearts best line up. I would like to see the following being given ago (when all are fit).

MacDonald
Neilson Karipidis Berra Oboa
Stewart
Cesnauskis Kingston Driver
Glen Nade
My thinking behind a number of the picks are as follows;

> For all that Neilson is not perfect I do not think anyone else who has played there over the last season or so has been better. Neilson was good under burley (ie proper coach) so could be again now under Csaba.
>Obou not ideal at left back but Wallace really isn't doing it. Would take Maybury back in a second as short term cover for LB.
>Stewart is better taking the ball off the defence and starting moves off with passes (Carrick role) rather than driving forward with the ball. Also has the energy to cover all the back line to offer defence protection.
>I think Kingston plays his best games, and gets more involved when played through the centre and can drive forward with the ball. Hearts most successful seasons in last 10 years have been when Cameron and Hartley have performed this roll.
>Cesnauskis, if he could actually get fit I thin he is pretty composed on the ball and can play intelligent balls that would give the forwards a chance, more so than Mikolionas. Is Mirsad Besliga still with us? Again if he is and fit would play him here.
>Nade, I think can still cause defences problems with size and strength that will create chances for Glen who as pointed out in many posts probably our only natural finnisher.

I agree m8 we all tend to get carrried away if we win a few on the bounce. Never heard any fans of any other teams actually believe that Brazil took their flair from the famous 5 though or any of their teams players.

As for the derby, like you i never look forward to it, i look forward to the bevy, a good old sing song and winding you lot up, but as for the game itself not really.

I think the only derby I have ever been confident about was the first derby under Burley, I actually said to my m8 that day on way to match he asked what i fancied the score to be, i said we'll take 4 or 5 off them today, he thought at first i was joking but i said no im being deadly serious. Of course he thought i was still drunk, soon changed his mind by the time the 3rd hit the net.

As usual though i hadnt put a bet on for that, would have got a good bit money back for a tenner for us to win 4-0. I never bet on Hearts m8, never even put a bet on us for the cup final against Gretna. If anything I will stick a tenner on hibs to win and pass my jinx onto them, at least if you do win i have the consolation of my drinks being paid from my winnings

Likewise, I have never met a Hibs fan in my life who actually believes Brazil took their flair from the famous 5. Likewise I have never seen any other average sized club call themselves the 'Big Team'. If you see my point...

Cant remember the last time I was confident about a Derby, probably after we won the cup but then I should have known better. The Derby really has the knack of turning form upside down, Hibs beating Burleys, er, Invisibles for example.

According to the experts on Jambo KB, Hearts will be in administration this week. Apparently one of the KB members was informed of this by a celtic director.

GF, Is that the same Birac that's lost 80 per cent of its share value this year and recently gave up 98 per cent of its capital to cover debts?
Hmm, don't sound too healthy to me.

#55 Correct the wages are payed through HBOS ... so? HBOS didn't receive the money from Vlad the other week so no money was paid out to players or staff. In what way would that make HBOS lose patience with Vlad? Because they didn't have to pay out money they didnt't have?!?! Won't make a blind bit of difference to them. I would have though Hearts are the least of their worries at the moment due to us not having debt with them unlike the rest of the SPL.
Can you provide a source to show the VLAD has spent a fortune propping up UKIO? I know he's a major shareholder but i'd think it unlikely he would spend his own wealth to bail out a company he is a shareholder in?

Hearts fans are sheep, they have no backbone, any other club in this country would try and make a stand against an owner who interferes at all levels (and does such a bad job). He wants minimal Scottish influence in the team (are there any Scottish coaching staff?) instead he picks his own players week after week. The manager is a puppet make no mistake. As for administration don’t kid yourselves on it could not happen. Hearts are running at a massive loss and being 4 thousand fans down every home game (and this will fall further) is going to hurt any club financially.

Official reports show Ukio directors have been buying their own shares, bonds and securities. Trading volumes have been extremely high, yet still thr price nosedives.
Now Ukio has put up its interest rates by 1% to try to attract more deposits. But would YOU put your hard-earned cash into a troubled bank in this economic climate?
Must dash now. The writing is on the wall: so read it.

I know the thread your talking about, and have commented on it myself. I am a member on JKB as well.

If you spend time to read the entire thread you might not make such an idiot of yourself. Like other eejits you only print the first piece of anything you think may be bad news, but fail to either read or deliberately miss out the rest of the information. Never mind though if it helps you sleep at night to concentrate more on Hearts than your own team then fair enough

#59. A lot of sense in what you say. I agree that LK is more effective in a more central role, playing direct through balls like Shammy is supposed to be doing for us. I would put Ruben at DM though allowing Stewart to concentrate on creating more. He seems to lose focus trying to do everyone elses job at times and we looked a lot more solid a unit with RP or even Bruno in the sitting role.

It just demonstrates how light we are at LB and up front.

#66 Stop attempting to use facts and logic as they'll just come up with something even more ridiculous.

They won't know that VR tried to buy ALL of HMFC debt from HBOS but they insisted on keeping one-third to protect the extortionate interest fees they were receiving. If HBOS are not happy they can easily be bought out. After all, they do need the money - it will help to underwrite Hibs "small" debt.

Another heartwarming tale on the dodgy Baltic Stock Exchange again today.
Mad Vlad Ukio Bankas share scraped bottom at 1.33 in Lithuanian funny money. Down a shocking 14% on the day.
Still Laszlo's "happy." Mainly because he doesn't have to take to the pitch.
For some people the glass is always half full.

Csaba Laszlo is useless!

I believe the whole Mark McGhee saga was a conspiracy and was never going to happen, only to make us think that he (Vlad)was going to sign a manager with Scottish experience.

Are we any better that we were under Frail, I doubt it.....

70, JMFC

What is your point caller?? If you look at the state of the economy over the world then you will be aware that we are heading towards a massive recession, lets look at another few club owners,

David Murray - Owes a massive amount to HBOS and no longer wants to pump the cash into the club and no-one wanting to buy them, no money from europe this year and overspent in the transfer window with JJB reporting a loss of £10m in the first 6 months of this year WHO WILL BAIL THEM OUT NOW!!

John Boyle - Well this guy is the king of destroying companies and always popping out the other side smelling of roses!

Stuart milne - owns a construction company! (bad times)

There are alot more bigger companies than UKIO/UBIG who have folded recently and there will be alot more going under before the meltdown stops so if the inevitable DID happen it wouldnt mean the end of Hearts it would just mean the end of the crazy guy who owns us!!

Now jog along, untangle your panties and get a bit more of a life!!

Fitch downgrades Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania

* Reuters
* , Friday October 3 2008


By Carolyn Cohn and Nerijus Adomaitis
LONDON/VILNIUS, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Ratings agency Fitch said on Friday it downgraded the ratings of Baltic states Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and kept their outlooks on negative, citing worries about the countries' current account deficits.
Fitch downgraded Estonia's foreign currency rating to A- from A, Latvia to BBB from BBB+ and Lithuania to A- from A.
"The downgrade of the Baltic states reflects the risk that the deterioration in the European economic and financial environment will impose a more costly macroeconomic adjustment in the Baltic countries, given their large bank-financed current account deficits," Edward Parker, head of emerging Europe sovereigns at Fitch, said in a statement.
Fitch added in the statement that "the risk of a prolonged and deep recession cannot be wholly discounted, increasing the potential for adverse economic and fiscal shocks".
However, it said it expected fixed exchange rate regimes to remain in place in the Baltics.
The economies of the three small nations have all been slowing, though the decline in activity in Latvia and Estonia has been the sharpest as they moved into technical recession in the second quarter of the year.
WAKE-UP CALL
Worries over the fiscal position of the three nations have grown as revenues have fallen.

official reports have stated that Petrie is a tightwad who has no interest in the hoobs and has no ambition for the team, he has now spent any money saved up for the new stand and with the jobcentre now knocking back applications for loans to buy bricks he may well have to sell whats left of the land hoobs own for flats and move the team into the all singing all dancing training "complex".

#83 as soon as you make a point i would be more than happy to argue with you in a 'solid' manner.

I'll start: of course it is not impossible for HEARTS to end up in administration. We are still as safe as UBIG(not UKIO).... you have not demonstrated any ability to inteprate the recent events at UBIG & conclude anything .Nor can I but what i do know is that realistically only UBIG/UKIO can force us into administration & there is no senario i can think off that would catalyst such actions.

Happy to be educated as foregoing represents a laymans opinion who has vested interest in HEARTS. Now try and respond without letting any green & white inferiority complex influence same.

Oh hold on there in nothing i can do about the state of ukio, jeeeese if only some of these massive institutions had the hindsight to phone you before they folded then things may have been different.

Should we pass your number onto Bush and brown so you can help them out also?? Although it would seem you certainly prefer the Brown the the bush..........

Ukio Bankas is as vulnerable as any financial institution. BUT, HBOS is more affected by lack of cashflow and inter-bank loans and has a higher liability to asset balance than UB. So Hobos,and indeed other SPL clubs, HMFC may well be more financially secure than many of you in the short term at least. No matter the size of the debt, you all have debts which would have to be repaid as soon as HBOS's turn to hit the unlucky spot on the merry-go-round happens.

#84 apart from getting laid(post 88) could you now inteperate your post confirming your conclusions.Would be helpfull if you could include a comparison with say for example glasgow rangers owners empire(MIM) and the current position of the UK(relating to recession)and its bankers.

As without same your post tells us that lith.is like is heading into recession but is not quite as bad as Latvia & estonia.

All very interesting but a bit of relavance would not go amiss!
