Malinga the Swinga Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Have no idea what to expect. I did see the Linfield highlights and they should have won by a barrel load, but Latvians somehow got through. They then got a point last night. I'll confirm my positive status and go for a 2 nil win for Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Idle Talk Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 When the group was drawn I felt pretty bullish about getting six points from our two matches with them. This match now gives me the fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazhearts Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 What kinds of team did Fiorentina put out? Hopefully none of their first team players! We all thought RFS would be the group's whipping boys and then they go and draw away the Fiorentina! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all thought RFS would be the group's whipping boys and then they go and draw away the Fiorentina! They made 7 changes from the team who started the 1-1 draw with Juventus on Saturday. They've actually not won in their last 6 games though 5 have been draws. The game in Istanbul next Thursday will be a very interesting one. As has been mentioned above, if we actually get our fingers out, and hopefully the enforced break this week helps with that, we could conceivably be a point or two ahead of Fiorentina going into the home game with them next month - that would at least get Tynecastle up for a big night game after the nonsense on and off the park yesterday.

Looks like a few players missing from the one against Juventus but how much of a downgrade those players are, I don't know. For instance, Luka Jovic out but Arthur Cabral in!

They also battered them but had a mare in front of goal. Just saw match stats... Fiorentina had 76% of the ball, 32 shots on goal (only 9 on target) but then Rigas did manage 10 shots with 3 on target so possibly created a reasonable amount of attacking opportunities with limited possession. Will watch highlights on UEFA website (can just create a free login and see the goals) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckies1874 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Scoring the first goal and actually taking a chance when it comes along would help massively. At the moment there is an inevitability about the struggle when we don't and the opposition punish us. Neilson has to have the team ready to go out and play with intensity. He needs Halkett and Kiomourtzoglou in the side if at all possible and possibly Humphrys alongside Shankland. We need more presence on the field and we need to play in a far more solid formation. I'd like to see the following personnel, if available: Gordon Smith Halkett Kingsley Cochrane Atkinson Devlin Kiomourtzoglou McKay Shankland Humphrys Subs: Clark Neilson Sibbick Halliday Haring Mackay-Steven Grant Forrest Ginnelly Henderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
