wattie exploited Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 first off am glad we won the game from another cross but our lack of shots on target or actual shots at all is really worrying the last two games we have hardly made the opposition goal keeper work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Still had some decent chances without playing decent. Can't think of any Motherwell chances whatsoever so some positives there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly lack pace, creativity and width. We also still persist with having everyone back defending corners and it's a nonsensical tactic because ,more often than not , we end up defending the second ball too.

scott herbertson Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 They had one shot on goal that I can remember if we try to have lots of shots on goals in games like this, with no centre forwards we will probably get beat 9 times out of 10i was happy with 3 points even if the game was a turd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s clear that missing our two key forwards have hampered us wattie, we’ll get better again when they come back. I do understand what you are saying but we know with Naisy/Uche and when Vanecek comes we will create much more chances. We also need a winger I feel who’d add to that. long term I don’t see the problems with lack of chances or shots, I don’t think we’ll be as short on firepower again come January.

Deans Jambo Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 After the run we've been on I'm sure all Hearts fans would realise our first win would be a grind. Football is about confidence and a few wins will get us going again. The luxury players are being left out just now as its about getting points, as Levein pretty much said in his post match.

Hearts1975 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 When we had all our strikers fit we were creating 15-20 shots per game If you have no one to hold the ball up front then it's harder getting shots away in and around the box we won the game and that's all that matters today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillsjambo29 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Happy wit the win today obviously Rather than overall statistics on shots, I am more concerned that in the last 3 games we have played well enough to deservedly take the lead and have then disappeared as an attacking threat. We took the lead today after 15mins after we had taken the game to Motherwell and were on top. The goal should have given us the impetus to push on and hopefully secure a comfortable win We were one well worked set piece, deflection, refereeing decision or long-range effort from cursing our luck again today.

Kiwidoug Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Still can't believe how close to the top we are given our recent horror run. Celtic are running hot at present but we know how quickly that can change. Look what happened to us. With a full strength squad by the end of January, I am monumentally confident that we can have a really strong 2nd half of the season. Lets hope Vanacek is the real deal.

Gambo Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 We controlled that game, defensively we restricted Motherwell to very little, that was a team effort.

Yip, if we even only win two of the next 4, we'll likely be in the mix for second still. Incredible after no goals in five.... My mindset is now for celtic to thump rangers, celtic and Hibs. Maybe hibs can take a point of rangers as well. If that happens rangers won't be out clear in second. 1st will be gone tho if that happens.

Dinger Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 we are obviously struggling with the injuries atm but we had 9 shots (according to bbc) to put that into perspective, thats 3 more than St Johnstone who beat Aberdeen 2-0 one shot less than Livingston who won 3-1 one shot less than Liverpool who won 4-0 one more than Chelsea who beat man city 2-0 two more than Tottenham who beat Leicester 2-0 so pretty standard for a football match, have a day off man, enjoy the win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were getting the ball back in the mixer so hopefully we build on today but if that was four 1-0 wins to end the year i’d take it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
