mickycameron98 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Huge game this one. Aberdeen are 7000 miles away in Azerbaijan on Thursday night. Surely that will work in our favour, although I believe we have enough in the tank to beat them anyway. 2-0 Hearts!

No Idle Talk Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 This game will be a good barometer of where we really are. The Celtic game kinda takes care of itself. Beating St Mirren was a good result for us, because they are a bit of a bogey team, but if you look at their early season form it isn't great. Aberdeen are one of the teams you would expect to be up in the 3rd-5th range, which is the area of the table we are striving to get to this season. So this will be a good test of whether we are there or not. I happen to believe we are and I like our chances of winning this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 The manager is confident.... “We now look forward to Aberdeen next week at Tynecastle. It’s a massive game for us. “It’s a game we should be winning but Aberdeen will say the same. It’s going to be two teams that I would expect to be at the top end of the league and it’ll be a great game to look forward to. “We’ll look to take the second half performance from Sunday into that.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Plenty of goals here, Aberdeen like to attack and have a goal in them, unfortunately for them, we will have an awful lot more goals in us. Got to be made a high tempo game from the word go to exploit their journey, recall a game against Dundee United some years ago, same scenario and it was us falling on our feet late on. Going for a crackerjack of an afternoon, Hearts 4 Aberdeen 1, will cause us some problems but defensively if we are worried, you should see their recent efforts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game against Celtic was a bonus, three points that most of our neighbours in the league won't be getting. Against St Mirren we showed ourselves to be better than a mid table / bottom six club. If we can beat Aberdeen that will show if we can compete for a top four place. 4 hours ago, One five said: It will be my first game back since covid, can’t wait. 3-1 win for the JT’s Mine too.

Cruyff Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hearts win but wary of that Ramirez boy upfront for the mutton molesters who looks like a good goalscorer. I'd be disappointed if we didn't win this one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Thor Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Realistic test for Bob against one of the teams who will likely finish at the right end of the table. He can't afford to get it as wrong as he did on Sunday as that was shocking. I'd like to see us playing higher up the pitch with less of a gap between our midfield and Boyce with potentially a midfielder who can drive forward to support Boyce. They've got a tough trip away this week so for me positive team selection + positive tactics = positive result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo92 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Always think the travel excuse is made out to be more than it turns out to be, especially these days with players being uber fit but... our game plan has to play on this, fast out of the blocks in there faces, crowd on their backs to make them feel 10x worse than they actually are. They also been making wholesale changes for their weekend matches, so it may be a different challenge of fresher legs but lesser players looking to prove a point.

This is a game we should be looking to win. Hopefully Robbie sets the side up with a bit of ambition, and if he does we have the players to hurt them. If we set up to contain and defend then it won't end well for us or the manager. 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch41 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Neilson had better have the right team prepared because he’s definitely at the Last Chance Saloon after that shambles against Celtic. Once he names the team it will be scrutinised, once the game starts his tactics will be scrutinised, as the game develops his actions on the sideline will be scrutinised, his substitutions will be scrutinised, his interview after the game will be scrutinised and this will continue until he starts acting like the manager every Hearts supporter deserves rather than the Chicken hearted team selection/tactics we witnessed last sunday. In Scotland Hearts should never play with 8 outfield defence minded players NEVER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 If an Aberdeen team with Considine in it defeat us, Neilson should be sacked on that basis. Seriously, I’ve not seen much of this Aberdeen side so far but my intuition tells me they’ve got carried away with themselves beating plumbers and joiners in Europe. They’ve got a mix of old and new and some ordinary players. Aside from Celtic at the weekend , i think we’ve looked more sharper, energetic and been better on the ball. We need wound up for this. A good old fashioned Hearts approach . Full of intent, closing down high up the park, using our speed further up to chase them down. Unsettled them. None of this cagey, feel your way in stuff.
