To your specific point though, I hope the we quickly identify our strongest line-up for an attacking game. We should be a class above Livingston. We should always be a class above them.

Kiwidoug Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 It seems really strange that I once played in a pre season friendly for them when they were Ferranti Thistle. Wouldn't have dreamt or nightmared that one day they would beat Hearts 5-0. Even worse that there would be a run of several games against them where we barely scored a goal. They need a good, sound thrashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian Lambretta Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I especially liked this comment from the Bobmeister. So if its 0-0 after 70 minutes then send on another defender and shut up shop. “The key thing for me was that if you’re not going to win the game, make sure you take a point out of it.

Quite the correct decision to based on what we have seen from both so far. McKay in his short time on the pitch has shown far more that Ginnelly in my opinion and therefore worth a starting place. Testament also to his fitness considering he never had a pre season and has looked in decfent condition. Ginnelly on the other hand looks like one of those players that flatters to deceive and will spend more time out injured than he will on the pitch.

martoon Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Absolutely agree with getting McKay on from the start. Ginnelly and GMS have been very average thus far. Not at all convinced we have a big win in us. Delighted to be proved wrong, of course, but I'd be pleased with Hearts 1-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say so far I am very disappointed in his contribution albeit early in the season. Maybe he is one of those players that is quite happy sitting on the bench, I hope not but he doesn't look like he has a lot of fight in him.

Low block does not really allow for anything other than the lower part of the body to be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too often the ball is overplayed as you try to open gaps around the box. One thing for me also is presence of mind. In these type of games when teams sit in against us, players can slowly switch off and fall into the trap of just moving the ball on without intent. Movement is key, whether it’s the striker nipping in behind or pulling people away, to midfielders actually running at players to draw them out and not just passing it on all the time.

That tactic relys on the opposition missing their chances as well. It's ok for parts of a game but it usually gets undone over 90 minutes. I always laugh at the thought of both teams playing that way and a team just watching the other 10 players pass it about in their half while they do nothing but watch from their half. Like 2 boxers not throwing the first punch, for the entire bout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartsofgold Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I know it's early doors in the season but this, and the Motherwell game as well, have the feel of must win games for me. Wins and we keep our momentum going, lose or draw and I can see us falling into mid table and staying there all season. We have the players with talent to win these games, we just have to be more clinical and ruthless in front of goals. Oh and keep the ball off GMS's right foot cos he doesn't have one. For me, 3-1 in this game and a tough 1-0 next week to go into the International break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
