lost in space Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Tough to be negative but why does it take us so long in each game to try to dominate? Yes, I know we are 3rd. Yes, I know we have just been promoted. Yes, I know we are doing better than I would have imagined. Yes, I know how many goals we have scored. Yes, I know how many clean sheets we have had. We now have a very good team but we let opposition have control for first 20/30 minutes. So annoying!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbojambo Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 We won ugly today which I am led to believe is the mark of champions. We can and will play better but I saw a side trying and playing for each other against a well organised team. I know that I am happy and can think of no real negatives but we obviously have a number of perfectionists in our support.

The good thing is frustration is down to knowing our players can play better as opposed to just being poor like previous years. To have an off day and still win against 4th place knowing we can up a gear isn't the worst. Plus Beni and Devlin may over time improve with confidence or style of play and shoot more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know how many clean sheets we have had. We now have a very good team but we let opposition have control for first 20/30 minutes. So annoying!! Because we are brutal playing against a high press. Halliday said they were surprised how Morherwell played at the start. Why? They absolutely bossed us at Fir Park by not allowing our back 3 to have posession and cutting off the passong routes to the wing backs and along the back 3. As we saw at Fir Park, first half at Livvy and against Celtic during the week (although they were excellent at times) we are terrible when a team presses us high up the pitch. Thankfully Kingsley realised what was needed and that was to get the ball in behind Motherwell’s high line and get them turned. From that point with Simm’s strong running the game changed.

jbee647 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Beni and Devlin could be at Hearts for 10 years and id be surprised if they got ten goals between them They are just not goal scoring type players I’m afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidoug Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I think we're only going to get better. I'm excited for the future. Livy warning though. We can't win the Cup if we can't get passed them. They opbviously did well today so let's get the performance right when the time comes. In the meantime, look out Hibs. Here we come, all guns blazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Devlin is a little tiger. Fights for absolutely everything and has no quit in him. Pivotal in both goals yesterday. His ball use in the final 3rd could be better but he's young and will improve. Beni is a Rolls Royce. Just let him play his natural game IMO. He knows how to play it better than anyone on here.

Mr Nobody Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Devlin over the season has had a few shots and from seeing those would suggest that is the reason he looks for the pass more often than no. Beni's the same. If the plan is for those two to break up play, retain possession and feed the more creative players I'm happy with that. As an aside was watching on Hearts TV and when Devlin came off it looked like he was in a heated conversation with Nielson before the camera cut away. What was that about? Just unhappy at being pulled off having created both goals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Ferguson was 36 years ago and money wise and quality of player it changed when Souness came along and no team out with the OF has got too close since we did back then. You might as well say Tommy Walker didn't give a feck when all teams paid around the same money to players. Not relevant in 2022 although Leicester showed no harm in dreaming.

AlimOzturk Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Devlin might be able to add goals to his game. He get forward a lot and certainly has had enough pops at goal to at least have 1 or 2 to his name. However both a contributing plenty without and I want to see Woodburn, Mackay, GMS and Ginelly start to hit the back of the net more often. These are the players who are meant to take the possession that Devlin and Beni provide and score the goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
