    John Robertson reacts to Neil Critchley appointment at Hearts as he sends message to Tynecastle support

    John Robertson reacts to Neil Critchley appointment at Hearts as he sends message to Tynecastle support

    When Neil Critchley arrived at Tynecastle, the Hearts icon responded.

    Following Neil Critchley’s hiring as Hearts’ head coach, John Robertson has responded.

    After a difficult start to the season, the Gorgie icon has given his assessment of the former Blackpool and QPR manager who entered the picture to succeed Steven Naismith. Some are apprehensive about his hiring since they took an analytics-driven approach to selecting their new leader.

    In his first Premiership game in charge, Critchley put an impressive 4-0 thumping of St Mirren behind him to allay any remaining doubts about his qualifications. The game was completed with goals from Blair Spittal, James Wilson, Daniel Oyegoke, and Kenneth Vargas.

    Robertson was questioned about his thoughts on the appointment during his pre-match interview on Sportsound. He thinks that defining the senior team’s aesthetic was a crucial step in the process, and that the new man needs support now.

    “People will look at it and I think that is the kind of appointment Hearts fans were looking for, someone away from Scottish football,” he said, citing the addition of Simo Valakari by St Johnstone and the success of Jimmy Thelin by Aberdeen.

    Someone who might not be involved in British football. The phrase “underwhelming” was used previously when it came out about Neil Critchley and after looking at his record and CV. You’re able to comprehend that. Once more, the results of the analytics are only as

    “He’s emerged, depending on what you’re searching for. It’s definitely a little naive to come right out and declare that’s your guy from the standpoint of the chosen candidate. Jurgen Klopp was my top choice, but that doesn’t mean Hearts will sign him!

    “Everyone who supports Hearts must support the individual who has been selected and hope he succeeds in his role. Concerning this analytics thing, I felt Hearts were trying to force the coach in before deciding on a playing philosophy, which was putting the cart before the horse.

    defining the character of the team’s play and the way the club will operate. I found that having an identity was crucial in finding the proper man. If that is the team you have, you choose a coach who is comparable to Sean Dyche and use them. You should look for someone who can go and do that part of tiki-taca football if you want someone who plays the sport. What you desire most from your team is what matters most.
