Jambos_1874 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 All league games are out of the way now, it's time for the big one!! Can we repeat 1998, when we beat the previous incarnation of Rangers, and go on and beat this new version? Third cup final in four years and we really deserve some silverware following this season and the previous cup finals where we came close. Let's win this Hearts!!!!

Morgan Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 It’s going to be mighty tough. Today however, has no bearing on next weeks game. I do think though, that the Huns Euro Final in midweek, could either deflate them or elate them. We will have to be at our very best from the start. There can be no passengers, no shirking and plenty desire. It could be 1998 all over again, it could be hugely disappointing. I obviously hope it’s the former. Come on the Hearts!

R1874 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Back 3 or back 4? Who plays midfield? Who is left out? Big big decisions but glad everyone is fit (except Beni of course) Gordon: Natty, Souttar, Halks, Kingsley; Haring, Halliday, Mckay, Simms those 9 are nailed on. Boyce injury and Devlin knock makes things less certain. Cochrane done well recently so think he would play. Gino offers something unique. Would’t write off GMS, Sibbick, McEneff or Woodburn playing either Really hard one to call given form and fitness Edited May 14, 2022 by R1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

south morocco Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I think to have a decent chance, we’ll need Halkett back in there and Souttar too. The rest of the side kind of picks itself as above.

mellors1874 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 If we are to have any chance next Saturday we need to man mark there full backs with our two wide attacking players when defending as the space tav and barasic get to play is laughable. Kent needs to be hit hard and fair the first time he is on the ball and we have to make sure he is kept out wide and off his right foot. There back two are not good on the ball and they need to be pressed when in possession. We can win this but no place for shitebags next week.

Ccjambo1874 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Gordon Smith Souttar Halkett Kingsley Devlin Haring Halliday Atkinson Simms Mckay Feel we might need three in the middle just to get a bit more of a foothold. Would like Atkinson to be further forward if Smith is fit at the back as he gets past players better than Gino in my opinion. Unlikely they'll make such a change for formation and personnel given how we've set up this season. Sadly I doubt they'd play all three in the middle given the knocks they've carried/are carrying and might be required as subs for extra time etc. Tough one to pick. Feel that eleven would be sturdy enough and offer enough cover in midfield with them taking turns getting forward to help in attack. More likely it will be this Gordon Souttar Halkett Kingsley Atkinson Haring Halliday/Devlin Cochrane McKay Boyce Simms Providing all are fit.

hearts00 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 We have to start with Souttar and Halkett, and absolutely can’t start with Sibbick, Smith or Devlin based in recent viewing. Mixed views on Boyce. He hasn’t been good enough for several months. If he can’t start it might not be the worst thing. Play Gino through the middle with Simms and let his pace be the weapon. Unf I fear if Boyce cant make it Robbie will play a defensive type midfielder and leave us with essentially two attacking players on the pitch. It’s a one off game, we’re due a result against the OF, but even with Ranger’s Euro final I would still only gove us a 5-15% chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddysBar Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Sadly I think we’re ****ed. We look a tired and patched up team with key players going off the boil at the wrong time. Just hope the management team can sort them out during the week or I suspect it’s four final defeats in a row. I’ll still be there cheering them on though.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 FFS stop taking any readings from today. Our shape didn't make any sense tactically nor did our substitutions, because they weren't about tactics, they were about getting run-ins for next week. We will have our imperious back line back together again for the first time in ages. Our bench finally looks robust again. We're getting healthy at the perfect time. 'Mon the Hearts!!!

colinzeal Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 The ease with which they played through us yesterday, makes me think we definitely need 3 in midfield.

You’ll have seen plenty disgraceful and shameful performances if you’ve been a Hearts fan for 64 years. It was a meaningless game we treated as a training session to keep players ticking over and assess the fitness if someone players. Ignore what Rangers B did to a team playing at 20% capacity. It’s completely irrelevant and it repeats almost exactly a pattern we have done in the past before winning cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
