Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 2 hours ago, jambonian said: It's not just about Clare giving away that penalty and Souttar being at fault. A lot of opposition attacks are punting the ball over and with Clare being so far away from right back it's been a problem for him to get back and defend quickly enough thus exposing Souttar. Clare is basically being asked to play two roles in the team, get forward to support the midfield/forward line and get back and defend. Can't have both, it's one or the other. Clare has been one of the most consistent players yes and he's been very decent getting forward, however it's not his natural position. Have to go with a flat back four tonight and Smith where he's supposed to be, at right-back where he and Clare can control that side of the pitch. Dikamona should play beside Smith with Souttar then Hickey. Halkett should be in front of the back two to link midfield to front as well as being a goal threat himself. If Boyce isn't playing then it has to be Washington and Naismith up top. Could actually do a lot worse than play Halkett as a striker seeing as he was one before and he's scored more than our actual "strikers!" My choice for this game would be..... ...........…………Doyle Smith, Dikamona, Souttar, Hickey ..Clare, Halkett, Sibbick, Walker ……….Naismith, Washington subs: Zlamal, Bozanic, Avdijaj, Ikpeazu, Irving, Meshino, Damour Sorry the pen ultimately is simply about poor decision making. Hickey and Souttar didn't make good ones, but Bobby and Sean made awful ones. I also dispute what tangible difference he has made going forward. His final ball into the box is nowhere close to Smith's quality. Sean looks good in flashes, I think those flashes would be better in and around the opposition box where he is a goal threat to the opposition rather than against ourselves.

TheBigO Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 2 hours ago, karipidis said: Very good post. Off the top of my head I can only think of (since Aberdeen game) Ali McCanns goal, Chris Burke’s goal and Hamilton’s 1st goal. If you think other than them 3 we have conceded another 11 goals due to set pieces or individual errors then it shows the mistakes are costing us a lot more than the tactics. Yeah, this post did well! That'll be me for a while! Anyway, they're the three that jump out at me too. And even then, look at St M's first goal. It's pretty unlucky. A deflection took the ball past our defence (sportscene said Souttar got too tight, but it wasn't the case, a deflection took the ball past him and the attacker), they get to it first and then the guy who scores had been left in there as he was tying his bloody lace!! Same situation happens 10 seconds later, he's not there!! And do other teams never ever have attackers run behind them? Strikers NEVER get one on ones with goalies unless they play Hearts these days!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigO Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 1 hour ago, Debut 4 said: But the nervousness can be borne out of how much we push up. We tempt the counter attack and there’s been numerous times we got away with it when teams haven’t capitalised. I think 3 times Rangers broke up the park in the first half as we were wide open down one side of the park. St Johnstone launched ball after ball into the area between our centre backs and the keeper, forcing us to retreat with haste. Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving the positive approach and there has been individual errors as you say. I just don’t get why we can’t find a better balance? The positioning needs to be better in certain moments in the game. Two full backs don’t have to push up at the same time. We’ve seen plenty, entertaining, winning Hearts teams in the past who had more nous at doing both elements of the game more efficiently. Don't disagree with this and actually kind of thought of it as I wrote this post. There's a definite nervousness and Souttar and Halks in particular don't look comfy. BUT I don't think that comes just from the "high line". And at the end of the day, if the keeper wasn't throwing them in for a few games and the other 10 lads got the points they probably merited, then the nerves settle and they trust the system.
