Captain Sausage Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Huge game. Please Robbie, play 4231. Please. Grant in central midfield doesn’t fill me with confidence but better than Haring I suspect. Need Boyce at #10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregzy2k7 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Want to say 2-0 Hearts and straight through in normal time without any dramas but i feel like this will go all the way, so I am going for a 2-1 win then ET and a win on pens as we usually do things the hard way. As long as we can sneak through the tie then I will be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryJ-o-s Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 We’re favourites on the night, which I was a little surprised about. But in a strange way it gives me more hope. Would love a raucous atmosphere and a couple of early goals. 9/4 to qualify at Bet365, if anyone is that way inclined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I'm hopeful but I think we'll get knocked out. I can see them picking us off on the counter. 2-2 with them going ahead twice. Hopefully we score quite early and build up steam but I'm going for us to get knocked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's akin to having a " start fast and run fast at the end " Strategy for a marathon or a long race. Kind of thing a 10 year old would come out with as a tactic.

I think we need to go on the front foot early but we can't be going gung ho at them from the off. They are quick and will pick us off on the break and hit us with a sucker punch. We have 90 minutes to get level and need to play accordingly. I think if we can get our noses in front and the place is rocking we have a right good chance of going through. It will require concentration for the full 90 minutes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_liam06 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Going gung-ho will lead to us being picked off at will. We need controlled aggression here, maintain a solid foundation at the back. 0-0 at HT is not a disaster of an outcome. Then we can afford to open a bit more. But a goal for us inside 20 minutes would be mega. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All-out attack or play it safe at the start? No point playing it safe, we're in a losing position and need 2 goals to advance. A similar start to the United game would do me fine. Get up the pitch in numbers, and hope the atmosphere swings it in our favour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gov Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I think we need to be patient, we only need a goal to draw level. As long as we have a solid back line and get a few shots away early to get the crowd going I think we will sneak it.

Sooks Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I remember a home game v rangers last season where we went and attacked them from the off and for a few minutes we had some good attacks that ultimately came to nothing ................ then in an instant Aribo got on to a long ball and done Souttar for pace taking advantage of the high line we were holding and they then just undid us time and again We need to attack them for sure but we need to do it sensibly and not leave ourselves open to getting picked off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only possible thing would be Grant or Haring, but I think we want Pete's calming influence and physical presence both boxes. Grant, GMS, Gino and Natty all on the bench. Tempting to choose Natty ahead of Smith, but I think that forward 4 plus Cochrane and Devlin gives us enough legs, and Smith can drop in to make a 3 at back and let Cochrane push as well.

Tynecastle under the lights in a European tie will be absolutely jumping, the noise will drive them on and hopefully will put Zurich on the back foot, especially if we get an early goal. Very hopeful of a victory and a memorable night for us all. An early goal and we will win it 3-0 I keep reading about it being under the lights and I agree that there's not much that's better than that but it won't be dark till late in the game.
