Been saying it every summer. 

 

We can't keep shipping out full squads and replacing them it just doesn't work. 

 

A team of average players who have been together for 3 years will perform far better than a group of players who might be better on paper but have just been thrown together a few weeks ago.

 

Spending £1m on a pitch. Imagine if that went into the playing squad. Instead we route around the bottom of the barrel.

We'll definitely not get kicked out on Monday now, more of a punishment to leave us in and have us all watch. 

Agree?

He had one thing and one thing only to fix in the close season. Pace and width. He has done neither.

HMFC THE TEAM FOR ME

If Craig Levein, can’t get out the group does that mean he will be sacked just as Cathro was? I try to give the guy a chance but he’s a dinosaur with his tactics, with his organisation with his training methods not sure how much longer we have to keep kidding ourselves.

Naismith was going mental at him the only time he didnt punt it early. His distribution is an improvement on McLauchlins which was slow amd pretty poor overall.

 

 

 

You're talking some shite.

Lol, that'll be another one who doesn't understand the game.

These players are not bad players. They are a mismanaged, and badly coached group of players.

Infrastructure and and a good balance sheet are key to the future though and that includes a good pitch. It’s not about winning it’s about building for the future so we can blitz whatever division we have been relegated to by then.

More of this and Levein should be emptied. An utter disgrace.

 

I agree. No excuses.

Get Mulraney to ****.

Get M Smith to ****.

 

Bring some decent, attacking, quick players that can have crack at goal bad enough of this nonsense of bringing in absolute nobodies that no ones heard of. end of.

There's no ruthlessness.

 

I hate myself for saying it but you look at hibs and they are giving no quarter to anyone. They score goals and lots of them because they go for it. 

 

We aren't showing anything like that. Even our play feels family friendly.

Bozanic has been ok. Why take him off?

 

I would’ve thought Morrison for Burns if anything.

WTF

 

Bozanic has been the only midfielder passing the ball so we replace him

 

Man in charge is clueless

We’ve signed about a dozen players but I think we all agreed that there were no guarantees that any were better than what we had.

 

I would rather have signed 6 decent players than 12 average players.  We are now hoping that some of these players turn out to be gems.

 

As others have said, if we don’t get out of the group stage Levein has to go, same as Cathro.  This will mean  another huge turnover of players,

After the first half i'm wondering if it can get any worse. 

Playing 3 centre backs against Raith Rovers is a bloody joke. Looks like Levein hasn't learned anything from last season.

That thick ***** Sutton was actually suggesting McLean would make a difference.

Can I just say that the stench is absolutely peeling off this thread.

 

Too many posters seem to be enjoying this a wee bit to much for my liking.

It’s what Hearts were always built on.

 

Now we are trying to be tactical geniuses to fit in(to what?) and play football by numbers football.

they’ve had 2 attacks - scored 1 and should have had another... 

mulraney to blame for both !! Left his man for 1at then 4 yards behind the other defenders to play them inside.

how he is playing is totally beyond me and as a left back - helooks totally inept.  

Levein to blame !! What a total tube

I've beginning to think it really isn't the players. The infrastructure investments should be the backdrop for an excellent side. 

This lot were beaten by Cowdenbeath, ffs.
