Ex member of the SaS Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 1 minute ago, lost in space said: FUNNIEST comment from United TV - if it wasnt for Gordon, Hearts would have had a drubbing! YES, he did say that. Well played Hearts. Was screaming at Gnando to up his pace - and then he scored. HA. The team put in the effort and deserved to win. Thought United were poor - but maybe we made them look poor. United tactics were rubbish. I was the same, moaning at Gnando for doing nothing and just like the thing he scores, shame it wasn't 15 minutes earlier to take the pressure off. Feel we allow teams to get the better of us and we are too predictable. Halkett to Henderson to Halliday back to Henderson to Halkett to Soapy. need the mid field to step up and make space for the forward pass.

innerjambo Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Happy with the 3 points, some excellent saves by Gordon kept them at bay. Good performance 1st half, usual nail biting 2nd half, but onwards and upwards. At least we have the break to bring in more recruits, and work on improving things.

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 A lot of good play in that game from us. United were always going to have a period of pressure. can see some nice patterns of play now coming from the 3-4-3, and back 3 starting to play with confidence a bit higher up (when in possession- we got hit over the top a few times though so need to be careful). 2 away wins out of 2.

thegreatsd Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Sitting on the supporters bus heading back down the road with a big smile on my face. Away performances like that have been rare over the years. We played some great stuff and dominated the game. Smith, Haring, Souttar…. In fact everyone of them played confidently and well. Good having a strong looking bench too. New guys looked decent and the travelling support was magnificent. Bring on the hobos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Scenes Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 happy with result and 3 points not happy with some individual players dragging others down. Final third has to improve, that means Smith either learns to cross in these two weeks or he’s dropped. Haring played okay, was absolutely raging at his two misses, could have cost us. Boyce did what he needed to but was too slow. beni was outstanding as usual. Made Fuchs look pukes. Nando’s and Ginnelly the difference. amazing start to the season points wise, really need everything to gel for the derby as I feel we are a couple of sparks off fully clicking. Looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto Jambo Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Good performance. We need to learn to see through games as without Gordon, they could have equalized. Would have liked to see us to continue attacking rather than go deep. Trying to play it safe is, ironically, not safe for us! Ginnelly had a great chance at the end where he decided to slow things down rather than go for the extra goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Torrance Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Looked a very composed performance. We didn't look like losing that. It's an easy game if you can keep the ball and at times, the Arabs couldn't get near it. Hope Woody's OK. Another decent attacker will do nicely. You can see existing players' games improving with the lift they've had from decent players coming in. Confidence is so important to build. A very pleasing start to the season.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Small things in the last few minutes -- Souttar whiffed on a tackle and Gnanduillet covered the run, tracking back almost all the way to our penalty box. Smith came in and lifted the ball off of him, beat two defenders with a couple of nice touches, and carried the ball forward to get it to Gino who won a throw-in. That throw-in lead to the second goal. Gino drew the defenders and then found Gnando stepping up to the top of the box just in time. Lovely run of football by Hearts.

Guest ToqueJambo Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Cracking win. Played some excellent football. Unfortunately a lot of our best chances inside and outside the box fell to the likes of Haring and Souttar. We should look at replacing Haring with Devlin or McEneff in some games to add a bit more scoring threat. Haring did boss the midfield with Beni for most of the 90 mins though. Fantastic start to the season though, considering the teams we've played. Hibs on the other hand have played no-one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XB52 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 So much on top the first half but ended up pushed back in the 2nd. Gordon had a few saves but none that difficult although I love how he always makes sure he pushes the ball wide. Woodburn looked good and hopefully it was just cramp when he went off. Agree with others about Cochrane, a really solid player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackOfTheNet Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Was a very assured performance first half, Dundee United to be fair started well in the second and never really let up. Was starting to think the inevitable was going to happen, which after the first half would’ve been a kick in the teeth. Game could've been vastly different in two different ways. 1. If it weren’t for Gordon in goals, we almost certainly would’ve have dropped points and maybe not even got one. And 2. If we could cross a damn ball. Thought when Ginnelly came on he would be better but also just as wasteful (until the short lay off for the 2nd). If we had players with the ability to cross more effectively that game could’ve been a hell of a lot more comfortable. (Special mention to Souttar who had a brilliant cross that Haring should’ve scored a header with, but we should’ve be relying on our centre back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got loads of more attacking options we could employ today to take the game to them, but he won’t consider them. 8 defensively minded positions, 3 attackers. It’s what he does To be fair it's worked. 1st half possession 70%. Good day for Robbie, and I hate him. Well done though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
