Shooter McGavin Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Berra and Clare weak links in the team but overall feel like thats the best team we could’ve put out. We need to batter them from the kick-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamdub Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 That is a team that is more than capable of taking care of that mob, I fancy us to score a few as well. Hopefully that useless feck Lewis Stevenson is playing and Meshino runs him ragged.... C'mon Hearts lets get right in about them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told yesterday from a first team player that both Naismith and Smith had passed tests and would start. If true which I believe it was, Naismith seems to pull of the team/squad very late each time. It's becoming farcical tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the distinct impression that Naismith had a very clear understanding of his intrinsic value to the manager's future in the summer and played a brilliant hand to get what he wanted.

jambopilms Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I expect with Naismith not playing we will meekly loose and Levein will say we can't expect to win without him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E6 Inc Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Side thought - Clare is clearly lacking form. He was being chased by clubs down south (no idea how) and we signed him when he would have had offers on more money. Do you think there is a 'must play' part in his contract? It's genuinely the only thing I can think of why he's never dropped. I was speaking to a Wednesday fan last week and he said he was great for them in the small amounts of appearance he made.

Damour has been favoured to Irving Clare is in because Naismith/Walker is injured. The team have clearly set up to play with Naismith (If above poster can be believed) so the only person that can fit into the system they will have been working on all week is Clare. Playing Irving would have meant a midfield 3 and a completely different system to that which has been used all week in prep for the game...

mscjambo Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Not a Clare fan if I had my way wouldn't be near the team. But our three in behind uche have the ability to interchange. Clare played his best on behind the striker against Hamilton. He is due a performance. Just got to get the basics right Today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we try and play football we'll beat them. If we spend our time launching it into the Ozone trying to hit Uche then we'll not. Looking forward to seeing Meshino from the start. FTH! I think it’s right to have two more physical CMs this week. Generally agree with you moving forward though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August Landmesser Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Don't know much about Hibs, but Marciano has been dropped for Maxwell in goals.

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?

Bauld Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker and Washington for quite some time yet but I have that sinking feeling regarding Naismith. Levein would have no luck if it wasn't for bad luck. Naismith, Walker, Washington & Haring would have been starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
