VALDOS' Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 21 minutes ago, cheetah said: Because we are shit away from home and it's against a bottom 6 team. We are generally up for the fight against the old firm at Tynecastle. Completely agree, games against the arse cheeks always see players raise their game, it's a question of maintaining that against those in the bottom half.

Confidence was at its lowest ebb. He has since assessed the squad, brought players in, got rid of others, he’s much further along with implementing his style of play and confidence is returning. Not saying this guarantees a win but it’s night and day from the last time we played them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langer 1st half. Irving 2nd half. Or vice versa. Uche & Washington on 2nd half for Donis and Meshino. Will Aidy last 45 min? Pereira Clare Halkett Souttar White Langer Sibbick Avidjij Naismith Meshino Boyce Zlamal, Dikamona, Irving, Uche, Washington, Henderson/Moore, Bosanic this is where I am.

Jambof3tornado Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 We must build on the rangers victory, there is little point in winning against the big teams if we cant dig out results against those nearer us in the league! Tougher game today I expect which is hard to imagine given the opponents and our previous one. A victory by 3 goals to 2 for the men in maroon.

busby1985 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 A win sends a clear message we have turned the corner and the players are 100% behind Stendel ball, which I think they are but one win doesn’t blow all the negativity away. Win today and we have our sights firmly on the top 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy T Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 This is one of these games where imo we need to score first. St J will sit deep and try and use o’hallorans pace to get in behind. If they go a goal up, they’ll park the bus and try to hang on. We score and they’ll have to come at us. I can see it being 0-0 in all honesty.

The White Cockade Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Any kind of win today to keep the feel good factor going but it won’t be easy Just look at our away record over the last couple of years Need 100% effort and commitment every game to dig us out if this hole A win today and getting off the bottom would be massive and we should kick on Come on the Hearts! ps I hope the scummy scrotes aren’t there with their bigoted crap and if they are the rest of the support out sing them with Hearts songs and shut them up I really don’t want to be reading about those clowns again after the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennant's 6's Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Got to go for it from the off, which is likely what Stendel will do. After their mid wk nightmare, they've got to be vulnerable, we'll have the bigger support. Hope that White or Garuccio are available to give us balance , maybe bring in Donis for Moore. 2.0 Hearts 🤞 Edited February 1, 2020 by Tennant's 6's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazhearts Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 The high press works better against good teams who try to play football from the back and retain possession. I suspect Wright will try to nullify the high press by instructing his players to play the ball direct / long diagonal balls from the back, bypassing our high pressing midfield and full backs and catching us on the counter attack.

If you press those playing the long direct balls they will turn into long aimless punts. Winning the first or second balls from those punts is key.

Have to say I disagree. I think they're both more up for the battle than Meshino, for example, and were a big reason we dominated the first half last week. Meshino is a goal threat, though. I'd love to see him coming off the bench in the second half! I also feel Stendel has a 'why change a winning team?' attitude, which is an enormous relief after years of tinkering.

The Goalscoring Knee Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 See a few folk are opting for White.

We shouldn't really worry too much about them just launching it up the park. Plus, with the new players that we've now got, were6in a much better place.
