cosanostra Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Better 2nd half but we had the chance and we blew it once again. Boyce should not be allowed to take penalties. Enough is enough. He's not reliable. How the hell was Bitton not sent off for the deliberate handball that stopped a Hearts break, while already booked? Unbelievable. Less said about the first half the better. I like the look of Simms. He'll be good. Injuries to Halkett, Smith and Barrie Mackay are all worrying to say the least. We're going to need to sign a centre half.

So nearly a point in a game we weren’t at the races but far too many off form tonight, couldn’t even do the basics like trapping a ball or making a 5 yard pass. Have to ask though, how the **** did Bitton not get sent off for the hand ball (the first one before the penalty)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffin Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Beni and Haring need to be our midfield duo and from what I saw tonight, Simms has to be our striker. Atkinson grew into the game too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt-Zeefuik Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 The first half was nothing to do with the set up. This is Postecoglu's bread and butter -- flood the zone early and overwhelm an opponent. We got beat because Smith couldn't stay with Jota, and fecked his back trying. Everything Celtic for 15 minutes in the middle of the first half went through him. We put on Atkinson who wasn't remotely ready to handle that kind of pressure and he got caught in a trap and gave up the goal. Heads down and pressure on we gave up a stupid second goal with a defensive mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 First half killed us. Thought Hatate looked outstanding first half but Baningime made him look amateur in the 2nd. Glad to have him back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armageddon Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Excellent second half when we were against the ropes. Cochrane gave the ball faaaaaaarr too much and easily. Simms can jump and win a header - wow. Looks a superb addition. Shame we had to lose Smith and Halkett We will beat everyone outside the top 2 for the rest of the season.

Tasavallan Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Ifs and buts. Hearts struggle to play against a team at high tempo. When Celtic slow, then Hearts come into the game. In games like this it has to be cool head of Beni ahead of Duracell Devlin. But Boyce??? Score the penalty and Hearts go on to win game. We need an Elvis.

The Old Tolbooth Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 We played bloody well the second half and were the better team, but yet again we gave away an entire first half in the hope that we were still in the game at half time and then have a right go in the second half, he’s done this countless times now, here’s a novel idea, why not have a go at them from the start of the game and see where it takes us Robbie? He’s a safe pair of hands as a manager but you can read him like a book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

number witheld Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 How many teams outplay rangers and Celtic in the first 45. Not many. They have better players than us and dominate most games.

Maroon Sailor Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 The usual script against these are to score first and we never looked like doing that. Missing from the spot is never going to get the job done either A point lost here but overall the better team one. You can't stand off these feckers like we have done in the last 2 matches against them and expect to win. It's always only a matter of time before they score when that game plan is adopted. Nothing learnt how to deal with them from the first half at Parkhead last month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Ramsay Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Never confident when Boyce steps up for a pen. Second half a lot better after we scored but let's be honest couldn't be much worse than first. Halkett body language didn't look good after that injury, will need to keep Souttar now.
