It's a cup game and you'd have thought he may have learnt having after the cup final but no. Exact same again. Sets us up not to get hammered. We come out and attack second half and it shows what we can do. He will never be the answer and the sooner he ****s off the better. Exactly this. Everything else is in place. The club is in a good way, right people in the right places... Except the manager. Same old outdated pish tactics. Get someone else in and we'll fly.

Most Hearts supporters I know wanted him gone because we were emptied from both cups last year by a non league and part time clubs. Most Hearrs fans I know also want him emptied because they are sick of watching the drudgery continue on from Levein. Not because we lost by one goal in glasgow. We are absolutely dire. We for the last 4/5 seasons at every corner have no outlet. Someone on here replied to a comment I made about the rotten style we have had these past years .If you could describe it as such. They said theyd rather win . We are not winning. Under Levein the negativity once set in couldnt be lifted . Neilson has not got it . But you i suppose will defend him which is up to you.

Unlike those teams we won all 4 of our group fixtures yet those two got seeded and we didn't. You are truly scraping the bottom of the barrel for dirt.

There was a game against Celtic at Tyncastle in the early 2000s when they scored 4 in the first half, memory fails me as to whether it was a worse display than today, but it was certainly up there. To go in today only 2-0 down was actually a good outcome given their possession and chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True or false? Of course it’s true but we didn’t get handed a 3-0 win like the seeded St Mirren. We were completely in control in all our league cup games then beat Celtic and St Mirren in the league before today. Today was a **** up by Neilson but the whining about beating Inverness is bullshit imo. That was just one of those games where the ball just wouldn’t go in the net for various reasons, including bad luck and overplaying it a bit.

Debut 4 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Granted Celtic are playing well just now and everyone expected them to dominate but they hardly pushed us back because they were overwhelmingly too good. I’ve watched plenty Hearts teams over the years (as most have on here) who actually did bust a gut but were simply outplayed. Today was a chronic lack of focus on what you had to give as an individual and an inept set up by the manager. Most of us before the game said we had to match Celtic’s workrate. We all knew what was coming.....apart from Neilson and the players as it turns out. You’ve got to MOVE. Put effort in. Be alert, be on your toes and anticipate. We saw too many Hearts players on their heels reacting too late. The 2nd half told you that’s what was missing from the first. We at least started running, supporting. Beni was tuned in and made some great recoveries. Ginnelly did more in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half than the team did in the first. Honestly worry about our players heads.
