OK bud 

So what? I remember us starting with five central midfielders at home to Celtic before and we pummelled them. Would have won but Didier Agathe scraped a draw for Celtic in injury time.

FIVE central midfielders! The horror!

Injuries to:

 

Berra

Souttar

Ikpeazu

Naismith

 

Yet we power on, players signed after the season kicked off brought in and already getting up to speed and keeping us ticking over. A realisation that we need to just keep as much momentum going as possible and stay at or near the top until we get our men back in December/January. All this after an incredible summer window and start to the season. 

 

Just as we wobble slightly after an injury crisis like nothing we’ve seen in recent seasons... out it scurries from its hole. The negativity rodent. It’s wearing comedy glasses and a fake moustache, but it’s unmistakeably the same creature that was scratching around last season, trying to spread negativity like a disease.

 

If you listen carefully you can hear it squeak: “clarke” ... “leveinout”...

You seem to want to base the whole season on Sunday’s semi final game. A match that summed up how cruel our injury crisis has become. 

At Ibrox we set up with belief to win. If Naismith hits it first time or Uche squares for Stevie then it’s a different game. 

If you think you’re being all positive here spreading sunshine and rainbows then it’s in your head because you’re like a horrible cold, windy and raining day that brings misery. 

I really doubt he thinks he's bringing positive vibes. He knows what he's doing and loving the reaction. 

 Mon the Hearts, get into these ✊??

Maybe some of us have shrugged off disappointment of Sunday easier than others 

I'm merely pointing to the fact that someone with significantly inferior resources appears to be routinely going to Glasgow with a mindset and approach that isn't resulting in defeat after defeat. 

I've suggested that Aberdeen are equally as poor as us in Glasgow. So the protectors of the manager can stand off guard 

What the **** does "protectors of the manager" mean?

What an utterly ridiculous statement from a strange wee person.

Yes maybe we should have adopted Clarke’s tactics at Ibrox and sat in and tried to contain Rangers and nick a goal instead of having a go. 

Back in the real world we’re top of the league and it’s very pleasing you’re clearly annoyed Levein is doing so well.

Mock all you like re Clarke but his approach to that lot in Glasgow is hugely refreshing 

Just for the avoidance of doubt - I'm delighted Levein has overseen improvement. Unfortunately Sunday reaffirmed my views that we'll win nothing under him. He will oversee infrastructure improvement which are possible post Administration on football side. If we have aspirations to fully realise our potential as a club and win honours then it will be someone else to make that step 

Just my opinion. Not criticising the guy for those who want to get all jumpy

Sunday wasn't a missed opportunity. 

That Celtic team is a good team, they had one player who cost £9m on the pitch. 

The lc final v St mirren was a missed opportunity, the ICT semi defeat was a missed opportunity. 

A lc semi final defeat v celtic is dissapionting, but a missed opportunity? 

What planet you on? 

Compare to last year the lc was a marked improvement and we are top of the league. 

Get a grip of yourself. 

In fact, do you not bore yourself arguing all the time with Hearts fans? 

Strange behavior in the extreme. 

We are massive underdogs tommorow. Not only are we at celtic who haven't lost a meaningful league game at home for about 4 seasons, but we are minus 3 strikers and our centre half pairing. 

No doubt you'll be on with some words of wisdom if we get beat, tho. 

If you are judging Hearts on performances v celtic, but ignoring the current overall league performance you're either being obtuse, annoying or daft. 

If you like Clarke that much, **** off to Rugby Park. 

All you do is drop snide wee comments and argue with pretty much everyone. Maybe you need to reflect on that.

If celtic continue the form of the last two seasons, no one will will anything. 

Not us, Aberdeen, Rangers or Killie. 

Sunday was a bit lame, we didn't go out on our sword for sure. So I understand what Spencer is saying, we have not competed well in the 2 games we have lost and it gives rise to the notion, we cant handle this.

So we have to do better tomorrow. But that is not going to be easy in game 5 of 2 epic weeks. A draw tomorrow would be fabulous, any which way we could get it.

Regroup, get a plan for the following 7 weeks that can keep us going until we can get to January. Stay in touch and keep an exhilarating season, just that for the last 5 months of it.

Who's mocking? I genuinely wanted to hear your team selection and tactics for Sunday. Is it that difficult to do that?

Also tell me what Kilmarnock have won under Clarke again?

What a scavenger you are. Waiting on the sidelines while we were flying, desperate to get back involved, but unable to whilst things were going well. Then like manna from heaven an injury crisis that takes out four first pick influential players and out you creep from the shadows like a hyena salivating at the smell of blood. You should have just changed your name to hyena, Spencer, it would have been far more appropriate.

What a weekend you have in store. A weakened Hearts team having to travel through to Parkhead with no strikers, and all our best four players injured. The only chance we have of getting anything is to set up to defend. Win-win for Spencer though. Get a result and you can screech anti-Levein pish about being scared to attack in Glasgow and boring anti-football. Get beaten whilst trying to attack them and you can screech about Levein’s record in Glasgow.

Absolutely contemptible.

Unfortunately the attitude and outlook of all concerned is we have 4 visits to Parkhead and Ibrox and end up with feck all. Kilmarnock are showing with regularity such a mindset can and should be changed

You struggle with differing opinion. That's evident across a variety of threads.

This season has far exceeded my expectations.  Long may it continue. Injuries are unfortunate but part and parcel of football 

I just don't think we will ever win anything under Levein.  I hope I'm wrong but that's just my opinion 

I'm really not sure what is so outrageous about such a point of view

Probably MacLean. Although something could be said for trying something a bit different in terms of say Morrison with Mulraney and Mitchell as forward most 3. Shelling it to MacLean 40 yards from nearest Hearts player is not going to be the answer.  Use what pace we have available on a big pitch and try and remain compact in middle of the park. That's the bit I found disappointing re Sunday was we had no pace and no out ball on a big park. Not great approach in my eyes 

Most likely go with Bozanic, Haring and Lee in central midfield, although Djoum could come in for Lee. Suspect neither will have much impact 

I thought Haring did really well on Wednesday.

I think we’ll need Stevie’s experience up top so I’d definitely play him. 

Your front 3 proposal is certainly brave and such pace could cause Celtic problems. Seems a bit lightweight though.

You should be in football, you'd have Dundee top of the league with innovation like that. 

Football is that easy. 

Email Craig, get him telt that it's that easy to win a game v celtic at their gaff. 

He'll thank you for it and we can all celebrate a Hearts win due to the revolutionary and thought provoking insights you provided before hand. 

Guanteed win on your tactics, celtic wouldn't handle it. Rogers would be confused, the celtic full backs in tatters, the centre half's would be that confused they'd just run into each other. 

Whatever CL does you'll spout shite about he should have done the opposite.  That is a certainty.

BTW, why are the rules - 

Next league game and then next lc game as opposed to next 2 games or next two lc games. 

That has blown my mind.
