That was one of the toughest tests of the season. Against other teams that sort of sitting back would be unforgivable especially at home.

Bongo 1874 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Keep it up Hearts and Robbie, play attacking football and possession based and I'll be happy. And should have a balance of style and wins. Hopefully carry it onto St Mirren now, nothing to fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarrysRightFoot Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I like that Robbie said we’ve got to win at St Mirren next week - that’s exactly the kind of attitude I’m looking for. Yes it was a good win - for us (the fans) we can enjoy it for a couple of days but I want the team focussed on winning every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Findlay Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 They can show all the statistics they want about possession, passes completed, passing accuracy etc etc etc. There is only one stat that matters. Goals scored during a game. Tonight, we Heart of Midlothian scored two, Celtic scored one. Result Heart of Midlothian 3pts, Celtic 0pts. To a certain poster. Robbie Neilson has beat them all now. Aberdeen, Celtic, Hibernian, and Sevco. Thank you for tonight Hearts my smile is a mile wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fantastic win but I completely agree… sitting off Celtic (and we do it with Rangers also), never works. You have to push them and close them down. But, I’ve got to say, credit to RN taking off GMS for Haring because it changed the game in our favour and we looked a lot better. Well done Hearts, a fantastic win with a lot of heroes in maroon!

Debut 4 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Funny how a perspective changes. I respected how brave we were in how we set up. At 1-0 it just looked like an open game of football and we stuck to our guns. But as it got to the latter part of the first half, it was clear we needed to cramp up the midfield and there was an imbalance to us. In some ways, it was no surprise to see the last two goals of the game borne out of how the nature of the match changed. Celtic pressure told and they got their equaliser, but once we got tighter we gained more of the ball in the lead up to our winner. Its a night to enjoy. Not going into more detail about individual performances, some of which were excellent and some a bit unexpectedly so-so. HHGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 A good start to the new league season, with a full three points taken. Must admit I was a bit quizzical (if that is a word at all) when after going 1-0 up we didn't then look to go for the jugular, but instead were happy to let them control a lot of possession. But, we went back on the front foot late in the game and got ourselves a winner, and in such circumstances the intervening period can be overlooked to an extent as they didn't benefit in any way from having an awful lot of possession. A good start, but it only becomes a really good start if we can go to Paisley next week and get a repeat result and then put Aberdeen to the sword in the next home game. Gotta start somewhere and tonight at Tynecastle represented that start, hopefully we can continue to look for wins in future games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Rabbit Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) So good to be back, place was rocking! Was a bit of a strange game as we started so well and then sat back and invited pressure. Then when they were well on top and got their goal it only looked like one team was winning it. Great sub to change the game and nice to see us pushing for a winner. Such an added bonus to beat them with a late goal after all the shite we’ve endured with late winners from them in the past. Would have loved to see their faces but nice to have a ground full of jambos. Shout out to Gordon for his amazing saves at the end, he’s worth his weight in gold. Souttar is a colossus at the back and Beni looks a great find! Need to take this win on to next week and hopefully continue to strengthen with quality. If we get more in like Beni it could be a very good season! Edited July 31, 2021 by Mr Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D4nny_ Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Still can’t believe it. I genuinely thought we were just going to sit back and try to settle for the draw and was a bit gutted when Haring came out which made me think was going to be the case. Absolute fair play to Robbie as I think this was the sub that changed the flow of the game and allowed us to go on and win. Fantastic result! Hopefully we can kick on into St Midden and go on a nice run. Cracking night of football and it’s great to be back where we belong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobby bombscare Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Probably an unpopular opinion here.. but I have long been an advocate for getting Halliday out the starting 11. However, I think his energy and willingness to throw his body on the line at every opportunity really set the tone for the grit we showed. And he absolutely warranted his place in the starting 11. I also felt like, although he never scored, Boyce gave a masterclass with his touch, movement, bits of creative play/flair and vision. Always plenty to improve on after the first game, but we got so much right tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
