The old firm are a disgrace. Of course they are, but his approach compared to Neil Lennon's victim led sense of entitlement for example, is already a big shift. He's been thrown under a bus and if he refuses to toe the Dermot Desmond line, then it could be worth watching. Probably won't last that long though.

Mr Rabbit Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 16 minutes ago, ToqueJambo said: Playing either of the OF, you have to accept that whether we start on the front foot and then try to hold on for the points or aim not to concede early and then build from there, they WILL almost 100% of the time have spells in the game when they'll put us under a lot of pressure. It's not as simple as "have a go from the start". We won't be able to dominate them for 90 or even just see out the game comfortably. We've done that once in my lifetime in the 4-0 game. The most important thing is we press them from the first minute to the last, take any chances we get, and keep our concentration at the back. Still wonder if we're going to go back 4 or back 3. Celtic can counter attack against 3-4-3 but we have defensive WBs. We could end up pinned back though as their strength is probably their wide players. You’re right but there’s times where we’ve clearly been set up to have ten men behind the ball at all times and to sit off. I agree it’s not as simple as ‘have a go’ as they have players which will dictate how we play however every game we close them down from the front we always seem to do better. Like I mentioned in my last post it’s not only us who do this. However I think it’s more often than not down to too much respect being given. If you go into a game thinking you’ll be lucky to take anything you’ll lose. The players don’t need a manager to say that they can feel it by the tactics and the way the team is set up.

It’s a tricky one though because if we play with two centre mids, as opposed to three, they could just stroll straight through. Plenty worse teams have found it easy enough.

Yeah the mentality definitely has to be right. I think we have payers who believe they can beat Celtic. I have a good feeling about this game but that never ends well. Everyone writing Hearts off for this season should focus the players' minds. I wish some of our own fans would take the same approach instead of siding with our detractors.

I'm on the fence about this. On the one hand I like the idea of two siting mids, Beni and Haring/Halliday ideally, in the 4-2-3-1 and it means we could play Pollock in the middle of the 3 flaked by Gino and GMS and I'd like to see him in this game. My worry with the 3-4-3 is on paper it looks more attacking but in practice we could end up effectively playing a back 5 because our WBs are not really attacking enough to hurt a team like Celtic. Although they don't exactly have stellar FBs right now. On the fence basically. Think we'll change formation as the game develops anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your reservations. 4-2-3-1 just does not work for us in an attacking sense. We saw that so many times last season. I don't want to see Liam Boyce hanging around the centre circle in this match. Celtic are in total disarray at the back so I want to see GMS, Boyce, and Ginnelly given the freedom to get right at them. The defensive part of the game plan will have to be figured out around that principle. That's how I see it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
