Absolutely stinking in here tonight 

 

Isn't half eh?

 

A defeat against Celtic away and people are losing their s***. The chances of getting a result were always next to nowt. Some of these reactions are embarrassing

 

Saturday is the important one, a must win and if we do we should hopefully kick on from that and get ourselves up the table

Typical ranting nonsense from a pious, holier than thou type. Enjoy your boasted about work with the needy. Nothing like a humblebrag eh?

 

You have no idea!  Holier than thou?  Of all the shite you've spouted that shows your ignorance of me and the faith you mock.  As usual, speaking from a position of complete paucity of any understanding.

 

The point has come to shake off the dust and leave you to wallow in your judgemental, hypocritical ignorance.

 

 

I will pray for mercy.  It's up to Him.

I worry about the sanity of people on here, I really do! 

 

If anyone thought that the deep rooted carnage that was left behind by Levein, Budge, and the rest of their cronies was going to be fixed within ten games, one January transfer window, and zero budget, then they need locking up! Stendel needs time to get things together, he's been working with pretty much two hands tied behind his back at all times since coming here, and yet some arseholes are blaming him! 

 

My only criticism of the guy is that he doesn't drop Periera, because this keeper is single handedly going to relegate us with his mistakes, and every time he makes one, you can visibly see the defence lose all confidence, and it's now EVERY game! 

 

Stendel has a long term plan but he needs time to implement it, he can't do it with the trash he has at his disposal right now.

Only one person doing the judging here Colin. I hope you show more compassion to your flock, you seem awfully quick to temper and start name calling. 

 

I'll not pray for you as there is absolutely no point in praying to something that isn't there.

Is this honestly where we are at aye?  Folk now talking of sacking Daniel?  Well if that's the case I will take it one further, if Stendel get's sacked Levein will be back in as caretaker.  Honestly, this place is crackers.  Hamilton are mince, this place was will be wanting a contract extension for Daniel by Sat night once we beat them.

Got to stick by him the majority were happy with this appointment.It was always a huge risk to bring a manager in who would completely try to change the way we play in the midst of a relegation battle but we done it so we have to run with it and hope we do enough to keep us up then rebuild.Either way a rebuild is coming in the summer.

I think we have to stick together  both fans/team and team/manager. The root of where we are now lies squarely at the door of  AB she and she alone allowed CL to continue managing Hearts into another season when it was plain he was the problem and had to go... you reap what you sow.

A new manager was brought in too late the damage was already done and the team sucked dry of any confidence, even a win against Rangers has not lifted them. Up until now I have been confident we will get through this season and restructure next season but what has become very apparent now is that the game on Saturday is a definitive must win game. If we win we will not only lift ourselves off the bottom we will be two points ahead with a game the next again week maybe giving us a chance to do the same again. However losing for me opens up another wound that would be very difficult to overcome going four points behind takes things to another level. Fist things first though ditch the goalie and start winning on Saturday!

Place is a nut house bud. Don't get me wrong I am becoming a bit un-nerved myself I did not expect a 5 zip doing , in fact I was almost certain we would get beat but one thing I was hoping for was to avoid a doing. Anyway you are right we move on to games that are absolutely key.

Not sure what mathematical formula you are using to justify this statement, plenty of points to play for.

Not based on maths, but on form. Hamilton and St Mirren are showing some decent form by their own standards, we are not. Our results haven't improved, and our performances don't indicate we are turning a corner yet. Personally, I can't see us escaping from this situation, but hope I'm wrong on this. Saturday will tell us a lot.

No free hits in a relegation battle. Getting your goals difference wiped out when you are a point adrift at the bottom of the table is absolute madness.

It’s simply about finding a balance. We have to be pragmatic and tweak this  system to win some games and stay up. All the other stuff is irrelevant now quite frankly. Time has run out for fxxxxing about. If we can stay up then fine, get some players in during the summer and regroup. If not then I don’t know what’ll happen... 

Pretty much says it all. Whatever style Stendel is employing just now it's clearly not working, never mind 5 goals conceded v Ceptic, 6 goals down v St J & Killie should have have alarm bells ringing. As the man above had said; there ha's to be a balance found. Also correct in saying that we cannot mess about any longer as time is not on our side, we need RESULTS fast. 

 

As an aside, talk of Stendel being sacked now is premature but he must see he has to use his managerial nouse to start getting us winning & specifically tightening up at the back.

We expect to lose against Celtic, we shouldn't be we do. However there's the way you lose that can effect a players confidence. Playing well and losing 1-0, 2-1 or whatever can be considered not a bad loss, a 4/5/6-0 thrashing is a disgrace, especially for a club that has the biggest support outside the old firm. If clubs like St Johnstone, Hamilton, Livingston or whoever can get an unexpected point or three against them now and again then there's something far wrong. I still believe Hearts are seen as one of the top clubs in Scotland (despite our league position) to Celtic and they raise their game a little more against us than they would against the likes of a St Johnstone-type club. There's no way clubs like them with no money should be able to do better against them than us. We are consistently bad at Parkhead to the point it's embarrassing! That said, our record against most clubs away from home is an utter embarrassment.

We need to be more solid at the back.It is possible to play a pressing game without being so exposed.Have defensive line drop deeper and soak up the long balls and retain possesion.We should not be exposed so much by simple route one football.

 

I'm not talking about Celtic game last night just in general how we have been under Stendel.

At half time, all the chat was about another saveable shot but there were signs that it wouldn’t be a hosing.

Second half they came out as if it was the first time they’d all met. Desperate, mate.

Went after the 4th. Grim.

I’m still behind Stendel think his tactics with a full pre season and a few new players could see us kick on and higher up the table but if Neil McCann got the job and had won 1 league game in 10 games we would be calling for his head and rightly so. Next 2 games are massive if we do the unthinkable and lose these games then a think we have got to consider a change...would love for Stendel to succeed and with a full pre season a think he would but right now we need experience and that dog fight attitude.

He needs to tweak it for the next 12 games , definitely. 

A front 4 of Clare , Boyce   Naisy and Connor , supplemented with Uche , Jamie , Donis and Mishu is more than good enough . Probability as good as any outside Celtic and Rangers . 

Let the other 6 defend . 2 holding mids and a back 4 of Smith , Soottar , Halkett and Hickey from now on in Change the goalkeeper. 

Its that simple

Feckin joke that we are this state. We have been going back the way the best part of 3 years now. Given the money that is pumped into this club by fans and benefactors ect this is total mismanagement of the highest level and anyone who thinks different is deluded. This club needs cleansed starting at the top. Teams like Livingston Kilmarnock St Johnstone have a fraction of our budget but are sitting more comfortable than us. Worrying times. 


It's Motherwell who, very irritatingly, seem to set a regular benchmark of having strong campaigns despite having modest budgets. I agree we really should see a better return for the budget we have.

Can anyone explain the reluctance to drop the goalkeeper, has Zamal  done something could he be on the naught step.

 

it could cause us to be relegated and cost him his job

 

his stubbornness is strange, surely he cannot be coaching the goalkeeper to punch shots straight back out to the penalty spot


I'm guessing Joel is decent in training and just crashes after the first flap during a game. Also, he is useful on the ground starting us playing - something the other keepers probably don't have. But to be honest I'd sacrifice that for a stopper like Bobby and accept the occasional brain-phart from him over Joel's 3 in a ****ing single game. He has to change the keeper now, there is simply no choice.

We haven’t won at parkhead in 11 years. 
We have conceded 4 goals or more on 7 occasions in that time
We matched them first half And at least had a go. 
Tonight is not the barometer for me but he needs a win on Saturday 


But for a keeper flap that was 0-0 and a lot of encouragement at HT.  Second quick goal after HT, though, and you could see the heads go down; after that was a matter of how many as those manky *******s never ease up against us like they settle against other sides.

I’m far from convinced that we’d fare any better with different tactics. When every shot on target ends up in the net there’s not much tactics can do to help us other than trying to outscore the opposition.

 

A good keeper would have save 3, perhaps as many as 5, of the 6 goals we lost against Saints and Killie. There is the problem.

What improvements have you seen in us?

We're more attacking and creating more chances. Stendel has got rid of the dross, such as mclean, mulraney etc. We're far better to watch than we were under levein.  I think everyone can see that.

 

The way we play leaves us too exposed at the back, which needs to be looked at. Hamilton on saturday will be a better gauge of how we're doing than celtic away.

One of the problems is we have zero pace in the team.  Last night you would think would have lended itself to the pressing you suggest but to do that you need a front 3 with pace.  We badly need to inject pace into the team moving forward.

The last 15 months show that we don’t pick up many points.  I’m guessing it’s that fact rather than any mathematical formula.  And the fact we’re absolute pish.

13 months of that time we suffered under Levein and his cohorts. Have  you honestly not seen any changes that would, tied in with the number of points  still to play for, provide some possibilities for the rest of the season?

St Johnstone are probably the benchmark for us. Previous to their recent run of form they were absolute mince. It just goes to show what a few good results can achieve. We have time and points to correct our position, starting as you say with Saturdays v. Hamilton

What about torn apart second half in Perth, 3-0 down at home to Killie, battered by Falkirk second half and 5 going on 8 against a Celtic who didn’t even get out of first gear last night?   That’s the last four games and you think it’s an over reaction??  It’s the posters that come to that conclusion that are more dangerous than people voicing concerns.

Also if there is a financial sanction for not playing Joel - ****ING PAY IT

 

Jesus we are not a charity and the ehole

Complexion of our club and squad changes if we are relegated let alone the money we lose and the fire sale we have to have

 

That shop front needs dropped and needs to be given Budge flu 

 

I love what Stendel is trying to do but let’s face it it is not working - he needs to work out what to do to ensure 2 wins from 2 games or we are ****ed

 

If the are both 1-0 and we Only have one shot on target each game so be it. Job done.

 

 

Hamilton and st midden twice " we need 8 points minimum.....

Your only criticism on its own is enough to condemn Stendel. As you say could single handedly relegate us but that isn't enough for you to question Stendel?

Yes. It would. I think you forget where Hearts are in the league, as though they're bottom by accident. It's most of those players that have got Hearts into this predicament. Now you think that line up will magically turn it around?

 

And you had the cheek to call me an idiot?
