Personally I think Clare is playing because he plays the 10 role very well. 

 

Every time I see him play he is always trying to drive the team forward, carrying the ball into dangerous areas. Scores the odd goal as well.

 

I certainly wouldn't want to have to deal with Uche while also watching one of Clare, Mulraney and Meshino charging at the goal full speed with the ball. It should be a defences nightmare but we need to use it properly.

 

Spot on.

Managers are duty bound to give press conferences. It’d be silly to confirm players are def in/out ahead of a big game. Managers do this all the time, not giving too much away. I see nothing wrong with saying he expects him to play. How many times have you heard a player is def out only for him to be in the line up? Very common. Put away your toy plane and get behind everything Hearts, at least just for today, eh? 

Toy plane 😂😂

 

Course I am behind them just disappointed our star player is out again. 

 

Everyone is allowed an opinion on a forum even its different from yours.

Radio saying it’s a back 5 for hearts with Smith playing alongside Berra and Halkett. Surely no? 

 

Joel 

 

Smith Berra Halkett 

 

Hickey Mulraney as wing backs?

 

Whelan, Damour and Meshino in the middle 

 

Clare 

 

Uche

 

or swap Clare with Meshino? 

 

4231 for me tho I’d imagine. 

 

EEN seem to think it is a back 3 with wingbacks too

 

Hickey would do fine as a right wing back though, so wouldn't be completely ridiculous I suppose

Clare is an imposter and putting him there just gives him a chance to hide.

In YOUR opinion.  Not an opinion I agree with. However due to injuries he has been played all over the place.  He will score today.

No interest in arguing, chief. You are correct on opinions. 

 

We we are all disappointed with the injuries to key players. Frustrating doesn’t begin to describe it.

Yeah but when you factor in that we are utterly hopeless at playing 3511 and we were often exposed lst season by using this shape, it’s does seem rather strange. Here’s hoping tho.

Fair enough. 

 

Think we are all a bit uptight before a Derby. 👍

As opposed to negotiating badly? Or was dishonesty your angle? 

I don’t see how I was suggesting dishonesty in any way whatsoever. Naismith could see his value to Hearts as he was so important to us last season and he was also aware of how weakened the manager was after our appalling league form from November onwards. With this in mind him remaining at the club becomes very important to Levein and he has additional leverage. I was hoping that the inference was enough but I don't mind explicitly stating the rationale for anyone misconstruing my original post.

As long as Berras not on the left side of a 3.

 

Strange game to change it. 

 

Fingers crossed though it works.

Back 3 when you are playing he game in your own half?  More like a Levein back 8.

You didn't watch the Hamilton game then?

Berra has to be in the middle of a 3. Halkett I have complete faith in being on the left.

Back 5 with 2 sitting midfielders, exciting game ahead...

 

 

 

Dont think itll be a back 5 because we have 2 defensive midfielders playing though

Handing the initiative to a team with 1 win in 10 and the worst defensive record in the league. The talent Meshino has? You'll never see it today.

But he IS playing. I’m giving an opinion on what we have, not the hypothetical.

Just seen the team!! Why suggest Naismith should be ok only to deflate fans before ko?? 4 year contract for a crock is another matter. Why oh why start Clare!!! FFS. Yet another Levein project that needs to be as far away from the first team as malaria.

No problem at all mate, I obviously wanted him to stay but 4 years for a 32 year old with a background of injuries is unquestionably a gamble. We only need to look at our captain to see the difference an injury can make to a player in his mid 30s.

Are you supporting Hibs today?

No but I am annoyed that Clare is playing and we are playing a back five. Prior to this I was confident that we would win this one now I can’t see it.

It sums Levein and our recruitment department up perfectly. Braindead.

2 year deal would have been better but probably insisted on longer or wasn't gonna sign

Clare was not down to start but has come in for Naisy.  Personally, I'd would have played Irving in the Naisy role but hey-ho.

Is it a back 5 or a back 3? Or usual back 4.  We will soon find out.

 

Confidence is what has been missing. Hibs are shite.

 

COME ON YE HEARTS
