I always thought he was a bawhair away from going on a run at Hearts but it just never happened for him. Good to see he's found himself as a player. He's been relatively shite at United has he not? He had a good spell for Motherwell tbf but since he's joined Dundee Utd I think he's only scored 1 or 2 goals?

Bongo 1874 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Hopefully a win that will see Hearts fans proud to support the team, with the player's actually giving 100% for the whole game, and not too many formations changes, keep it simple.

That thing you do Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 14 hours ago, Homme said: They got stuck in v AZ and got a brilliant result as a reward. Draw with Killie and a loss to livi suggest everyone is overrating them though. Especially since they are coming off the back of a difficult Euro tie I think we win this one comfortably. 2-0 Hearts. Tbf killie was 92nd minute and United had 10 men. Livi was energy preservation for Alkmaar. If United have a heavy night energy wise in holland I expect changes v Hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 If a I had the choice of Shankland or Boyce scoring a double or more I'd choose Boyce. I rate him highly as a player but feel he doesn't find the net often enough. A goal ot two would be great for his morale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I will presume our defence will start to get it’s house in order and that we can take advantage of D Utd being away this midweek. 2-0 Shankland and Forest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Dan Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) We need to be aggressive from the off and not try and defend especially if we are in front. As we seen on Sunday it simply doesn’t work. You can defend a three goal lead but not a one goal lead. Will Robbie learn from his mistakes?

I always thought he was a bawhair away from going on a run at Hearts but it just never happened for him. Good to see he's found himself as a player. You could tell he had the skills but maybe he was trying too hard to show those skills at Hearts by coming back into the midfield or out wide and not really linking with the front line. He could weave his way into the box but there it seemed to break down most of the time with a shot off target or he took so long a defender would simply block his attempt on goal.

BRAVEHEART1874 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 home win 2-1 da jambos They have a better squad than last year and should finish above da hobos again . But they do not play watt, middelton, fletcher and clark from the off and even if they did I still beleive shankland,boyce, mackay and forest are better. If kingsley is fit our defense should be stronger with maybe atkinson chosen more as wing back. Although ginelli was just back from injury, I also thought he could have come on at the end offering an attacking option and fresh legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was under orders to drop back into midfield, see Boyce last season when playing as a 9. All the talent in the world but has only shown it at Motherwell strangely enough.

It’s almost like they're pre planned, or they have subs prepared for certain situations. It’s good to be prepared but I think he over thinks it some times. Hopefully it gets better as time goes on because he got the formation spot on for 60 minutes on Sunday, it could easily have been a win for the ages.

Gorgie_Rules Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Any sort of win will do. 7 points from 9 against 3 sides that I reckon will be pushing for top 6 this season would be a decent start going into the European game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Idle Talk Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) I really enjoyed our fixtures against Dundee Utd last season. Every one of them was a good game to watch. I suspect that with Jack Ross now managing Dundee Utd the trend will not continue. Thursday night's match is bound to take a bit out of the legs of Dundee Utd. AZ Alkmaar are a good side and they have a deficit to overturn. So I expect Utd won't have a lot of possession in the game and will therefore be defending most of the time. That could be relevant in the second half on Sunday. As for us, this is a home game and I expect us to go after it. Start with a quick tempo and try to get on top of them early. An early goal would help to banish the disappointment of the ending this Sunday past. I hope that Robbie will stick with the back four and if he picks the same starting eleven he picked at Easter Road you will be hearing no complaints from me. That is the team he should go with in my opinion. Although if he feels he wants to get Cammy Devlin a start, I will understand that. If he reverts back to playing 3-4-3 I will be pretty disappointed. Hearts 2-1 Dundee Utd. Edited August 9, 2022 by No Idle Talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
