Erik Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 When I got in from the game last night, i happened to notice the match stats on sky sports news. Have to say, I was a bit surprised by them. I like to think that I tend not to watch games through maroon tinted spectacles, but I left the game yesterday genuinely feeling that Hearts were better is just about all departments. The stats would suggest otherwise (other than the most important stat of all, the score, that is). I know that stats dont always paint a fair picture of a game - but was anyone else surprised by them?! Shots On: Hearts 4, Celtic 7 Shots Off: Hearts 3 Celtic 6 Corners: Hearts 3 Celtic 12 Possession: Hearts 46% Celtic 54% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Was it not the St midden victory stats which said we had no shots on target but we had at least 3 . They stats for the celtic game maybe be about right ,as for large parts we played the counter punch style game and played it well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic did have a number of efforts on goal in the first half and plenty of corners in both halves. We scored the goals so the stats don't bother me and they prove that Celtic's attacking players are shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzyonthefence Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Those stats don't surprise me in the slightest as Celtic dominated most of the much (other than maybe the first half of the first half), even with 10 men. However, Hearts were much better organised and much better defensively and that's why we won 2-0. In fact, Celtic looked shite defensively and really were there for a doing I felt, but will take 2-0 against the Victims any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Thinking back Celtic did seem more ready to speculatively shoot from distance so this isn't entirely surprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourcandles Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Thinking back Celtic did seem more ready to speculatively shoot from distance so this isn't entirely surprising Yes, thats what i was finking. A shot 'on target' doesn't really mean much if its a weak and straight at the goalie .... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their number 67 must have had about ten on his own but I bet their whole count was probably not as much as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
