tartofmidlothian Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 For the first time in months, it sounded like we played with balls and a never say die attitude. It says a lot that we should be disappointed not to win, even though we took Aberdeen's first points of the season from them. The right man is in charge, I'm convinced.

tynie Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Certainly a different effort than we have seen for a long time. I thought Callahan s play made a tremendous difference to our midfield actually somebody that can play box to box. Well done Mr Levien and the Hearts team long may the effort continue.

You are correct. He saw where Aberdeen were dominating and changed it. Cathro would have just stood there, hands in pockets, glaikit look on his stupid puss and done f'caw. And we'd have been hammered. Like i say, the difference a real Manager makes is there for all to see. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A point against a team most, probably including yourself, would have expected to run over us 3/4 nil before the game, isn't a bad result. We dominated and I've no idea how we didn't win that game, that is why most are quite happy with what they've seen. Significant improvements compared to previously.

jambojapp Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 When the opposition's keeper is there best player it says alot about the other teams performance.

amadjambo Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 First half hour I was very unhappy. We had no width and Isma was totally isolated. What a transformation 2nd half when the full backs picked forward. My only gripes against Levein after today are that he didn't hook Djoum who was abysmal, and didn't even try Isma and Lafferty together for 10mins or so. Isma was causing all kind of problems today and I'd have liked to see him feed of big Lafferty. Would have taken 0-0 at 3pm today. Going home gutted tonight.

You might not be Hibs but you obviously live like a hibby. You would have to be burning spoons not to realise that while we have Been in admin. Been relegated. Began the rebuilding process. Hired Cathro. Signed a new team. Started building a new stand. Fired Cathro. Appointed Levein. Began the rebuilding process after Cathro ruined the team. Meanwhile Aberdeen have spent the last 4 years steadily building a team that has comfortably finished second, made it to cup finals and has been the only team remotely capable of getting near celtic.

Macros Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 We got more out of Craig today than we would have out of Cathro. Started a bit jittery, gave them too much time and space and had that been a Cathro team it wouldn't have changed but Levein saw the problem and changed the shape and tactics and turned it into a game we dominated from 20mins onwards. Outside of Celtic I think Aberdeen have the best and quickest midfield/forward line but Souttar, Berra and Hughes had it controlled after that initial period. Best we've been for a long time, not the finished article by a long way but much much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levein has us solid and hard to beat, he also has us threatening going forward. If it weren't for their keeper, we'd have won very comfortably. Whilst a draw at home isn't worth celebrating, the performance certainly is. You have to be a ***** not to recognise that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We drew against Aberdeen. No biggy. All I'm saying is Levein was ******* hated on here but now 'cause we got a point hes praised like the messiah. Anyway drop me a PM if your thoughts about me are that strong from one post. Levein is hated by anti hearts morons like you. People are just happy the desire and hunger to win games is back.
