Pans Jambo Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Love a European night at Tynecastle but this somehow feels like its came too early for us. Of course, if we had rag-dolled Killi in the cup and Livi at the weekend then I might be feeling a bit more confident. Maybe it is all about the European competition for Robbie and he's not concentrating fully on the league but, either way, I would take a draw if it was offered to me now.

jambopilms Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Squad value at 50 million on transfermarket. Would like to see Halkett back but I don't want him risked.

GBJambo Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Halkett needs to play. He’s been a huge miss. Although saying that he’ll probably come back and get injured again 😡 Appears to be that kind of player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just have to get right behind the team even if we lose a goal early. No shame in losing to a team of this quality.

Would like to see him in the team. I think Neilson will go 3 at the back as we will be up against it here If Halks and Smith are fit I would go Gordon Smith Halkett Kingsley Atkinson Kio Devlin Cochrane Forrest Shankland Mckay Still think we will lose even with that team, 2-0 win for Istanbul imo. If Sibbick and Neilson in the team we will get pumped imo. Obviously I hope I'm very wrong and hearts pull off a miracle 1-0 win. That's the same team I picked, although it's more likely to be Grant or Haring if Kio's out. If we play like we were this season until the final whistle against St Johnstone, we can live in hope of an upset against anyone. If we play like we have the last two matches,we'll be efficiently beaten. I'm hoping the last week has been a lot of playing in third gear as they try to stay fresh and build themselves up for Thursday. Boyce is a big miss, but Forrest, Mckay and Shankland all carried a threat against Zurich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a player I would be buzzing to get out there. Each fixture is a free hit. Give it 100% and see where we end up. We drew at Anfield with a team much worse than we have now. MON. Our players really need to leave every bit of themselves on the pitch in these games, good results in Europe are the special matches fans remember for decades and they don't come along often.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Surprised Istanbul only rated as a 5/4 shot, thought they would be odds on to beat us. Dont think I have ever bet against Hearts in my life, I can understand the reverse psychology for some, a bit of consolation, if thats your bag, probably not a bad punt. On the other hand gives me a bit of hope theres maybe a bit of hope, bookmakers not often too far off the mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
