Zurich got a goal from a set piece and a penalty, otherwise it was one way traffic. All 3 goals have Qarabag waltz through their defence and smash it past the Zurich keeper at his near post. He doesn't look great at all. They are in the process of selling one of their better players to Leeds I believe. Confidence is poor. We will take them.

Make up your mind what point you want to make. You stated we were often overrun playing 343 and I showed this was nonsense. You've tried to somehow translate your point to the EL tie but to my knowledge we've never played 343 in Europe so you can't say we were overrun there either. You've lost the plot so I'll leave you to your constant negativity and Robbie bashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat back 4, 2 sitting, 3 across the middle with Shankland up top or 3 - 5-1-1 I just think when we sit in, it just invites the opposition to attack us like going to Glasgow waiting for the inevitable I hope he surprises them and goes all out for the first goal just match up man for man, our players are adaptable into a few different formations anyway we've a good seasoned experienced squad with one of the best keeper's in Europe Edited August 16, 2022 by The Maroon Pound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I thought bookies odds fluctuated on the basis of bets coming in. Eg if someone put 50k on a Hearts win, our odds would shrink significantly. Getting excited about this. I know nothing about Zurich but based on comments on here, we seem to be in with a really good chance over the two legs. Kingsley and Devlin both being back gives me real confidence.

Bongo 1874 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Give 100% workrate 100% and we will be through to the group stages lads, this is a chance to make yourselves a very special bunch of Hearts player's, win, show no fear. We can do it, press the life out of the back three it has mistakes in it, don't allow donis time and space. The first club since Celtic and Rangers to qualify for group stage football in Scotland, This is just a small step towards the long journey ahead. Let's ****ing do this cmon Hearts and Robbie.

haj Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Their form and morale is absolutely horrific. I watched their game in Belfast and it looked fairly even against a team far below the level of hearts. I’m not saying it’ll be easy but I feel like a lot of folk have the Utd-AZ game at the back of their minds and fear a doing. Totally different story tomorrow. We’ve got every chance.

That first 10-12 years was probably the worst in club's history (not withstanding the end of Romanov era). I thought it was 'normal' for Hibs to beat us regularly, I also thought I would never see Hearts win a trophy. It's not yet the best Hearts team I have seen but it's the best the club has been run in my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chong Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I don't know much about this Zurich team but I think them not playing at their home ground is a huge plus for us. A chance for us I think to progress and that's what we wanted. We could have been drawn a much more difficult tie, as we could have had it "easier", and we must be ready to grasp the opportunity with both hands. I'm split personally on how best to approach the game, it is very important not to be out the tie for the second leg. A packed Tynie next Thursday can see us through, hopefully 🤞 Buzzing......one more sleep and the Gorgie boys are back in Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midloth_Iain Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 We have to play it tight, solid at the back with a threat on the break, cant afford to be too expansive. Would prefer to frustrate them, given their poor start to the season, dont give them any confidence of an early goal / chances. We wont win through to the group stages over there, need to make sure we are still in the tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 A draw would be an excellent result, a one goal loss wouldn't be the worst either as we can score goals at home, a win would be utopia! If Zurich were playing against Rangers or Celtic you wouldn't give them much of a chance of beating them, they're not the quality of that pair, which means we have a chance.
