Victor Meldrew Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I don't think anyone is saying that that Liverpool team was anything like their teams of old. However, they fielded a team including Borini (?12m); Henderson (?18m); Reina, Carragher and Agger and our low cost team more than held their own. I think that's worth some praise. That Liverpool team would be challenging for the SPL at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo 75 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 You know what someone next to me said this until I pointed out that the team Liverpool played would stroll this league and beat most of the bottom half of the EPL, also their back four consisted of seasoned players. Agger is wanted by Real Madrid, Kelly is a future England RB and played a lot last season when Glen Johnson played LB, and Jamie Carragher has played at the very top level in Europe. Charlie Adam was a first team pick for long parts before he got injured last year as well. Liverpool reserves they may have been but that was still a hard fought match and our players can hold their heads high and take hope with them to Anfield because if we play that team again next week we could nick something.

Captain Price Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We were fantastic. That squad they played, the value, could probably write off our debt, we had a much weaker side, and still managed to play very very well, and we were very unfortunate to get something out of the game. The tie is still open, and if they play that side again(which is a strong possibility, considering they are playing Arsenal 3 days later) we are still in with a shout. I'm not annoyed, I'm not pissed off, I'm not upset, I'm not disappointed - I'm proud to be a Heart of Midlothian supporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Considering how poorly we played against 10 men in the second half on Saturday, that was a phenomenal performance by Hearts. We got in their faces, we passed the ball well, we created chances to score, we made a few silly mistakes, we were unlucky to concede, the manager got the tactics spot on and the atmosphere was brilliant from start to finish. They may not be famous any more but it was still a fantastic match to be part of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun.lawson Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I've been waiting for this thread to appear. I guess the OP has a fair amount of minerals if nothing else... Look, hardly anyone gave us a prayer last night. Of course, that had a decent amount to do with what happened against Spurs; it also has something to do with how we've started this season, not to mention the cutbacks going on. So expectations were extremely low: not a bad position from which to attack a one-off tie like this, because there was no real pressure on the players. But when you see the team playing as tactically soundly as that, working as hard as that, Templeton running himself into the ground, McGowan looking superb and Patterson looking like some kind of brilliant; and when you hear Tynecastle in full voice (yes, even on the telly), everyone pulling together as one, and receiving deserved plaudits from all over the UK... well, you'd have to have a heart of stone not to feel proud of that. No, we weren't playing Barcelona; yes, the Europa League is not what it was. But that was a very decent side we were up against, and we more than matched them on a grand stage. The profile of the club will have been done no harm at all. The one thing I'm a teeny weeny little bit in agreement with the OP over is that ultimately, we lost the game, and are now long odds against for the tie itself: glorious defeat encapsulates Hearts in Europe over the years, and in a sense, this is merely yet another example. But then you remember how much the game's moved on over the past 20 years, how much that Liverpool side cost, and what their expectations are for the season ahead... and actually, it'd be bloody incredible if we got past them given all that. So it's OK to feel a wee bit of frustration - but not at all OK not to feel tremendously proud of that performance, and for that matter, of the whole club. Historic? Hardly. But a damn good night for Heart of Midlothian FC all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was far from Liverpool's reserve side, and based on what I witnessed tonight of the two squads on display Liverpool have a hell of a lot more to worry about than us. If they are unable to play without Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez in their side they are going to find themselves sliding down the EPL this season.

Yes we lost and it is disappointing considering how we played but we demonstrated to the rest of Britain that there is still life in the Scottish game.

Could be a stroke of genius is he has consistency. Yup alongside Barr he can be the playmaker we need in the team (and thought he would be last season when he arrived but did not seem to be.) He passes were much better (with the exception of one or two) and he does seem to be concentrating more on moving it around, coming deeper to receive the ball and move it on. With a run there he can become an important player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diadora Van Basten Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I thought we were really good for the first 40 then very poor for next 40 before then good for final 10. I think the reason we were better for last ten is because we kept the ball better and were able to move it up the pitch before playing a ball into the box. The previous 40 we gave the ball away cheaply and it was very difficult to get it back because Liverpool are a good team with good passers.

All very cynical I was in the lead up, but should have known better after almost 30 years following the JT's. Very proud, but disappointed we lacked the last chunk of belief needed to get a result, that really wasnt beyond us in the end. Enormously proud, well done to all, coaching staff, players and fans.
