King prawn Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Job done - Uche got a good run out and Keena got a goal which is good to see. Onto Motherwell who I didn't realise had won their last 5 in the league.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Solid enough score in the end. Good to see non regular goal scorers on the score sheet too, Keena especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenaciousdandy Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 perfect draw would be hearts vs one of the championship teams at tynie, the rangers/killie to go draw aberdeen and celtic to get hibs, wont happen tho as the rangers or celtic will probably get easy home draws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 As good as Smith has been I am fairly comfortable with either Shaugnessy or Dikamona coming in for him.

BigAlim Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Gutting to hear that about Smith, think he's been a solid right back and an even better sweeper, we're going to need one of Dikamona, Shaughnessy, Godhino or Brandon to really step up to make up for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 We could do well if Uche and Vanetek get on form. Fair enough the opposition but created some amount of chances. Should probably have been about 12-3 today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Just seen the highlights on Sportscene. Great ball in by Mitchell for MacLean's goal, he just had to prod his foot towards goal (of the sort that Sammon would miss). I think the 'who's gonna take it' routine worked on Talbot. A really well hit free kick by Lee for Berra to get his head on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got in with our season tickets no problem so this is what they must be doing. Good to know - happy to donate the extra 60p postage that they took given today’s result.

It's really quite simple but unfortunately its not an exclusive example of simplicity, as your comments have shown. Good point, without Haring in the midfield we'd be worse. We should strive to be like other teams who are better when their best players are missing. We should even be playing Haring when he is injured just so that we don't have to edit the Holy Bible and rewrite the constitution. Oh sorry, I mean change the team. Yes of course teams that win don’t change much. When you sign 20 players and have some fantastic youngsters you should be able to replace certain players and play the same way.

Some were development players and others longer term projects because we can't afford quality proven players. In any case your point about 20 players covering all postions with backup quality is bollocks when two entire sections of your team get wiped out at the same time in attack and defence. We can't afford two top team players for every position and wouldn't keep those that didn't play happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need to change things too much but changes due to: Confidence Player form Other teams adapting to us. Are all needed. Very few teams can impose thier style every game, even in England Chelsea, man u and arsenal will adapt regularly. Your showing a staggering level of footballing ignorance. Our budget is biggerthan most and we have better players and team in general, but on a game to game basis our budget isn't big enough, for example like Celtics to blow teams away all the time. Even celtic adapt playing us. No Hearts team in 50 +years has done this, but you expect us to do it now. Not quite sure you are being serious or just argueing for the sake of it tbh. Today we will impose our style of play and we'll win. Keep you happy? Yes those are good reasons to change, players not formations from week to week. Did I say we should be blowing teams away? I said we should impose our way of playing on other teams, especially the 8 who have lesser budgets. The best Hearts teams I’ve witnessed in my lifetime, have imposed their style on other teams. Good teams don’t chop and change, that’s what we should be aspiring to. The majority of our best performances this season have been when we play 442. The only ignorance I see is the grammar and spelling in your posts. Edited February 11, 2019 by Pasquale for King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't always work that way - explain Leicester winning the EPL, Inverness, St Johnstone, Raith Rovers and Livingston winning major trophies up here.
