Uche Ikpeazu

[Northernhibee]

Loves to wrestle with other players but constantly looks like Bambi on ice after a few too many sherries.

So, so telling that he’s Hearts best option and is one of the worst strikers I can remember seeing at this level.

Should have been booked for what is essentially diving and he looks at his least dangerous when you give him space to get a shot away. Given nothing by our back four.

It shows you how bad Hearts are that he was their best player. He's a battering ram that could and should be playing lower league football. Should have been booked today for diving.

I’ve never seen a striker so uncomfortable given a yard of space.

[easty]

It’s like he’s just learned to walk, but no quite mastered it. When the big huddy isn’t falling over, he’s greetin his eyes out about something.

I’d be gutted if he was our striker.

[BILLYHIBS]

5 goals in 33 appearances of which 2 versus us

Sums him up

PISH!

[Just_Jimmy]

Record was 1 in 3.5 games in league 2 of English football.

Pish.

The fact we were given it ‘uche’ all game shows his pish he is, but I was dreading the fact he’d pop up with a goal. Today he was true to form though and absolute garbage

[Seekyit]

Relies too much on his physical strength and always trying to buy fouls. He’s crap.

[wookie70]

He has a pub named after him in his home town. Nip in for a wrestle and a pint down at the "Barn Door and Banjo"

[emerald green]

Typical Hearts type of player. Just a big basher. Crap footballer.

[Vault Boy]

Absolutely crying out for a strike partner.

He actually seems like a decent guy whenever I've seen him interviewed, however, absolutely hopeless at putting the ball away. Not much use in a striker who doesn't score.

We'd be hugely annoyed if he was our main man up top.

[edinburghhibee]

Nice of him to gee up the hibs fans in the first half tho!

I like Uche, but I like the fact he doesn’t play for us even more.

[Coco Bryce]

Leeds Rhino's will be in for him in the January window.

[Gloucester Hibs]

He’d be ok as an option to have off the bench but he’s their numero uno striker 🤣🤣

[neil7908]

He's not a footballer.

[matty_f]

He's ****ing *****.

[Jack Hackett]

To be absolutely fair, he's not actually as bad as Nade, who managed 10 goals in 93 appearances for hertz. Big Ouche has managed that total in only 49 appearances

[eastmainsmsh]

we got the best striker from cambridge amadou konte and he was honking lol

[MWHIBBIES]

Nade was much more effective at holding the ball up.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Would be more effective if he stayed upright but given that he had no one to hold the ball up for, diving was his only option. Keechback says if he fell out of a boat, he wouldn't hit the water.

[Baader]

Typical Hearts striker. Absolute rubbish.

[Hibs4185]

Aguero is finished. I heard Man City are using their special relationship with the famous to line up big Uche.

Not claiming to be itk

[Bishop Hibee]

Murder but one of their better players. Shows how bad they were. Is there a worse player than Mulraney in league?

[Onion]

Guy is absolutely garbage.

Harsh. Thought he was their best player. Decent feet, gives his all and is a real handful which Daz dealt with well but Hanlon struggled. Sadly, the footballer has been coached out of him by Levein and Berra and replaced with the Yam mentality to cheat and dive at every opportunity ... and he’s towards the top of the yellow card league this season as well. Tough guy with legs made of chocolate.

[jakedance]

He’s be miles better if his instinct was to stay on his feet rather than diving. He’s a cheat and too cowardly to try and do something positive.

[Ich liebe Deek]

Anti-football personified.Will find his level next season

[HendoDelivered]

Dreadful excuse of a “footballer”

[EdinMike]

I assume the chants of “Uche” was from us for most of the game, I had to explain to a few American folk “it was a term of endearment of how horrendous he was” they found it confusing. I laughed...

[greenpaper55]

He was a big star at Didcot town !

[The Spaceman]

The Uche chants were hilarious.

Absolute carthorse.

[HibbyAndy]

Utter garbage

And for the size of the man all he wants to do is throw himself to the ground

Cheating ****!!

[hibee-boys]

Giving it the big man to the fans before and during the game. If i was a Hearts fan i'd wanting him to channel his energy into his own performance. Some of his attempts at goal were hilarious!

[Bostonhibby]

Suffers from vertigo and compensates by getting horizontal as quickly as he can. Seems a decent guy but if he ain't getting penalties for falling over I can't see what he offers.

Hopefully stays where he is for years to come.

Funnily enough, re him seeming a decent guy, one of the things i noticed was when he raised his foot near McGregor’s head (and gave away a foul) in the first half, he went straight over and said “sorry”. Think he needs to be nastier given his (limited) attributes. Far too nice.

If the shoe was on the other foot/in the other face, there’s no way McGregor would’ve been so apologetic, particularly in a derby

[Unseen work]

Some of his shooting today was up there with the worst iv seen from a professional.

He clearly has attributes as he can hold it up due to his size and a not bad touch. If you’re that size why try con the ref with dives? Just stand your ground and throw your weight about no?

Bloody brilliant they have him and Maclean up top 😂

[Billy Whizz]

Think Hearts extended his contract recently....

Mind when they signed Maclean Levein said he liked that he couldn't run. Does anyone know if, when they signed Uche, Levein liked that he couldn't shoot?

[The Modfather]

He must see McGregor in his nightmares

[Wakeyhibee]

"My strength is my strength" was a quality quote from him :greengrin I hope he's on a long contract. His career of less than 1 in 4 goals per game at mainly league 1 & 2 level is pleasing.

Check his playing position...

[Gloucester Hibs]

If you stand off him a bit so he actually has to do something that doesn’t involve all-american wrestling, he’s really not very good.

[Peevemor]

People are saying that he seems like a nice guy, but for me he's simply a cheat who chucks himself all over the place and automatically claims something from the ref whenever he's involved in play in any way.

He deserved a booking for their penalty claim yesterday. Watch again - he wraps his arms around Hallberg (who's behind him) and then chucks himself to the ground pulling Melker with him.

Good guy my hoop!

Couldn’t agree more, he should have had at least one booking for his pathetic attempts to win a penalty yesterday, it looks like something that refs have cottoned onto........

Poor mans Doidge but without any goal threat. But as others have said he’s Potters type of player. But along with majority of their team he’s just not good enough

[21.05.2016]

He is absolutely HOOCHING! A big awkward character that uses his weight to cause problems but never a footballer in a million years. I’d want him nowhere near our team.

:agree: he apparently “loves a physical battle” but I’ve only ever seen him love kicking others - someone that loves a physical battle enjoys giving and taking it.

As for that woeful attempt at claiming a penalty - he tried to judo throw Hallberg.

How the refs haven’t worked this guy out yet I’ll never know. - they’re normally quick to pin a player down as a diver or a dangerous tackler etc. He should be in the book (minimum) every time he plays.

[Since452]

Actually felt embarrassed for him yesterday. Took a shot in the first half that must have cleared the stand

[JeMeSouviens]

He's the same every time, starts a wrestling match and then throws himself to the ground so hard he leaves craters. :rolleyes:

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Should have been booked for his dive in the second
On the floor, shouting at the ref and hitting the ground.
Obvious dive and looking for an unfair advantage- cheat

But could have had a case for the one with McGregor in first - other end of the pitch and we’d have been screaming for it. Definitely seen them given

[KingFranck]

I find Hearts fans hilarious they are going on and on about 2 penalties and how Uche should do a press conference and say he's sick of defenders wrestling him. He never gets a decision in his favour.

Let's rewind a few years shall we?
Rob Jones at corners v them
Both centre halfs grabbing him and no attempt to win the ball, how many penalties were awarded? Zero so it's swings and roundabouts my dear Jambo friends 😁

Nah, both times he’s wrestling with the defender. Can’t have it both ways where he’s dishing it out but greets when he falls on his arse!

Hopefully, his antics will mean that he gets real penalty shouts turned away.

Think the ref did work him out, which is why no penalties were given.

The pundits could do a bit closer analysis on him though, as none of them picked up on his blatant shirt pulling/wrestling in the game.

Hanlon didn’t struggle against him at all. One mistake when trying to shield the ball out of play in the first half aside, both centre half’s dealt with him perfectly

I normally agree with MS but don't on this occasion. Jack Hackett summed up above exactly what happened. You can clearly see it was initiated by Ikpeazu when he wraps his arms around Hallberg.

[Weegreenman]

Change the shorts for a nappy and you would think he was a Sumo Wrestler.

I must be one of the only ones who agrees with MS. If you wrap your arm over the shoulder you run the risk of giving away a penalty these days.

Naive from Hallberg and he was lucky to get away with it.

I worded my original post wrongly, i dont agree with MS that it was definitely a pen but i can see why it could be given.

A defender should never have his arm wrapped over the attacker, it runs the risk of giving away a pen (both myself and others thought it was on first look).

Luckily this time the ref spotted what uche was doing, next time we might not be so lucky.

On one hand I agree he was lucky for the reason you mentioned, there are certain precedents in football which really contradict the rules and how the game should be played

However, it wasn't a penalty and lucky the ref didn't fall for it
