Apologies for not being specific, I was referring to the return match on the 25th

The UK live tv football App is very good but there is nothing listed at the moment for the 2nd leg.

BBC Scotland channel showed both legs of Dundee Utd Euro tie so hopefully the same will apply to our games.

Good to hear Robbie talking in terms of us attacking and doing what we do best. That's the attitude we need to take into tomorrow night. 

you must have heard some body else thinking they were as he was quoted saying this   

In terms of the tactical side, Neilson feels it must be approached more like a game against the Old Firm rather than other sides when they would be favourites.

Defending  more like nightmare if he does this !!!!!!!:rifle:

 
 

“It’s a different game, it’s more like playing against Celtic or Rangers," he added.

“We need to be tactically set up and look at where the threat is. I enjoy coaching against these teams

To be fair. Robbie has set up attacking formations against the OF before and it has demonstrated exactly how stupid that can be. 

 

You commit to a high press and attacking line up. You leave gaps behind and they pick you apart.

 

Above all else we need a disciplined performance. Everyone playing with high energy, fully focused on their jobs and positions. 

 

This is one of those rare games where winning isn't everything. Just don't get pumped by 2 or more goals leaving you with a mountain to climb in the return game.

Zurich will be without former Hearts winger Donis Avdijaj through injury. Defenders Lindrit Kamberi and Marc Hornschuh are both suspended.

Is it also correct that their star striker is not playing as he's of to Leeds?

Please note that because the club does not have international rights, we cannot show this match on Hearts TV either inside or outside of the UK. An announcement will be made soon with regards to coverage of the home leg."

 

Thanks for that👍🙂

Hmmmmm...........yeah I just re-read the article and he was more talking about Sunday's match when he was talking about attacking and "doing what we do best". The headline did not match the quotes.

 

I hope we are a bit more positive tomorrow night than we are when we head through to Glasgow to play the Old Firm. Too many times through there we end up sitting deep and defending our eighteen yard box for long spells.

Thunder, lightning and torrential rain in Zurich now😖

Won't last. It's been hot as **** for weeks now, these things happen on a pretty regular cycle here. You'll think you're expecting to see Noah's Ark any minute but it'll last an hour or 2 max

Having experienced a Salzburg thunderstorm, playing football would've been impossible so fingers crossed that it doesn't last.

It was actually Sparta Prague.  The most ludicrous match ever played.  0-2.  0-0 in Prague.

Set up a VPN, set your location to UK, and watch it on the BBC iPlayer

A fine excuse. We had an all-nighter here in Edinburgh a few days ago. Superb thunder & lightening but not all that much rain. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you lot.

 

Ps ... I'm sure someone will gift you a Hearts scarf for when you go to witness the Big Team taking on your local mob. 😉

I'm going to the game in the home end, rare that a game in Swiss football captures the imagination plus the wife gave me permission to fly and with 2 small kids, this is not to be missed. Let's see whether I go for my usual cravat and smoking jacket combo or a more "typical" football fan dress code tomorrow 🤔😜

Zurich boss Franco Foda: "Hearts often play with long balls, but they also have individual quality, for example with attacking player Liam Boyce or the wingers.

 

 

He been reading H1b5.net for his tactical info ? :lol:

I was trying OpenVPN's London egress point, because I use the client for other stuff. I'll give Nord a try.

Starting to feel confident,  particularly after this comment from the Zurich manager. Long ball team?  Bash on with preparing for that....

Interesting to note he’s picked up on Neilson’s tendency to tweak mid game.

So the Zurich manager wants to play with belief, and try to press the life out of us from the start? :lol:

 

We will ****ing scud them.

He has a hot-line to you-know-who for tactical insights. 😉
