Team Vs Livi

There´s been a lot of talk about how good the squad is on here and rightly so. In terms of depth it may be as good as I´ve seen, but who would you start against Livi this weekend in what is another crucial game to maintain our momentum.  I think there are a number of formations we could opt for and given his calibre I would be trying to ensure Clare gets a start in his favoured position of attacking midfield.  I want to see us go with a 3-4-2-1 with the following players:

 

                                                                            Bobby

 

                                               Smith                   Souttar           Dunne

 

                       Morrison                       Haring                  Lee                     Mitchell   

                        

                                                      Naismith                    Clare

Morrison Haring Lee Naismith

Ikpeazu MacLean

 

Subs: Doyle, Dikamona, Garuccio, Djoum, Bozanic, Clare, Wighton. 

 

Without knowing where exactly we intend to play Clare and what his fitness is like, I'd put him on the bench for Saturday.

Lucky Griffiths is not at Hearts. Starting Clare immediately having not played a game for 6 months would be seen as a "kick in the teeth" by him...

 

I think we have to temper expectations of Clare. He's young and inexperienced still.

Was just thinking about this. Not sure If Clare can play a wing role or if he's strictly a CAM, but I was trying to fit him in without dropping anyone too 'important'. Morrison drew the short straw, which is fairly understandable compared to everyone else. 

I can see the argument for dropping Djoum, but only because Lee and Haring are key players. That said, I think we should be trying to get Djoum back in the starting 11 consistently, as i think that'll prove the strongest midfield combination over time.

Edit: this isn't strictly for the livi game as i'm not sure of Clare's fitness levels, but it's an idea nonetheless.

Yip MacLeans link up and clever play will be ideal for this fixture.

That's a good team - lacks width a bit so maybe Morrison instead of Mclean or coming on for him ater if needed. Great to have so many options

I'd imagine Livingston will leave just one man up (if that). 

 

Suspect we'll go with a four in that case, with the full backs attacking and leaving the CBs to pick up their one striker. 

 

I like McLean in these games because he has the guile to unlock a packed defence.

This not one player has put a foot wrong naismith on the right comes inside anyway and drifts allowing Smith to get wider on the right with garuccio overlapping mitchell on the other side with McLean and uche upfront McLean drops deep and asks for the ball to link up with the big man uche 4-0 hearts.

I think we may go 3 at the back but the options are endless. The reason being, we need to try and win and open them up so in comes MacLean out goes Smith. I don't think you can drop Lee so he stays in alongside Djoum who needs to get match fit and these games are bread and butter for this. You really feel for the players. not only not making the pitch, but not making the bench too such are our options.

 

The team below can change shape, diamond or have width with Naismith and Mitchell out wide.

 

Bobby

Dikamona

Souttar

Dunne

Mitchell

Djoum

Haring

Lee

Naismith

Uche

MacLean

 

subs Doyle, Clare, Smith,  Garuccio, Morrison, Bozanic,  Wighton.

 

Levein may not go with a 4 at the back though, so perhaps with 2 centre halves picking up their lone striker and we remove Dikamona and replace with Smith.

Mitchell at left back and Lee in Mitchell's place in midfield for me.

 

Tough on Garuccio but I'd leave him out for this one.

Only one change from this - Lee for Djoum.  Lee's set pieces are a massive asset.

Same team as win v St Mirren.

 

Thought Garrucio and Mitchell was a good combination and caused all sorts of problems.

think its really unfair on Garrucio not to start him. He's done nothing to be dropped. Morrison to start on the bench,  Clare to be benched as well, bring him on second half. Same team vs St Mirren

Fantastic to have such a strong squad - and we still have the big striker to come in January!

 

This will put us in good sted when the injuries and suspensions come along.

Barring unknown injuries I'll be very surprised if this isn't the starting 11 on Saturday. I think MacLean will continue to come in for home games against most sides and for me Djoum is the most likely to make way currently. Bench gives us lots of options if Livvy are proving a hard nut to crack. Suspect we would then make a couple of changes for the Motherwell cup match.

If we are winning, do as before and bring on Dikamona. If we are not, we can bring on Morrison.

 

He’s had 2-3 games but you don’t want a young player starting every week.

Dunno if people agree but would maybe like too see Anthony McDonald come on second half man what a team we have still to get the likes of cochrane and McDonald with brandon and godinho involved too :clyay:

Given his calibre??. According to wiki he's only played 38 first team games, mainly in D1 or D2 down south and only scored 3 goals, yet you, and others are wanting him shoe-horned into a team that's unbeaten this season. Like every other fan, I hope he's the real deal but he has to earn his place in the side. I'm sure CL will think this way too. I'd expect him to be on the bench for the next couple of weeks at least

Bozanic clare morrison Wighton, And the positives about all the young players I mentioned above playing with the likes of naismith McLean hughes berra they know to put in a performance to earn the respect from the older heads and playing with an older head will only improve there game sorry but I love Craig

I know just think he will start as we set up differently away from home McLean got dropped too think he will come back into the team and we will play two up top.

He seems to be fairly versatile, had played on the right and left of midfield as well as in central roles, has even played right back.  I kind of think Levein maybe sees him as a box to box midfielder (I think that's what he hoped Ryan Edwards would do for us).  However, it's good that he is versatile as it gives us even more options to adjust formation during a game.

Definitely agree about MacLean. Be very interesting to see what CL does in relation to Morrison, Garuccio, Djoum and Clare. Looks like 2 from 4 to me with the latter probably least likely to start immediately.

Just saved all the squad images from the Hearts website and played around with them on Corel.

 

Made a few extra possible lineups:
