Hope that's a 433 again.    Looks a squad that can win today.    I went 0-1.    Could be more.

Good team! 
 

This is OCD AF, but surely you take the font size of the vertical “starting XI” text down rather than make Keo’s lettering tiny?

Like it. Pretty flexible. Will be 451 in defence and all three of the midfield and all four defenders have something to offer going forwards.

I’m not overly confident on this one as our record isn’t too great there and we could be tired. I win would be class. 

Tired? After one game in the last 10 days?

Good looking team, and hope 4-3-3 becomes our usual formation. But is that only three changes from Thursday (including Halkett, who is unavailable)?  Hope they're not too knackered.

Solid looking team, assuming we are going 4-3-3.

 

Looking forward to seeing how Kio gets on, particularly how he plays/links up with Devlin.

 

Surprised Snodgrass isn't starting. Expect him to get a good half hour though.

 

'Mon the famous. 0-2.

Decent side. Surprised Gino didn’t get the nod over Forrest. 
 

Still should have enough the team to get a positive result 

This.

 

Gino deserved a start

Hopefully people remember that Kio is in his first game in Scotland and may not be immediately up to the pace of it. Last thing we need is the hard of thinking criticising the guy on one game if he doesn’t run the entire midfield.

Indeed.  However I fear your words will be by-passed by those who 'know` how to assess a player.  This place full of them.

Maybe a fitness issue he ran a lot on Thursday and was down at one point holding his groin so maybe not wanting to risk him or he’s not recovered enough. Could be a good option off the bench late on for us.

There you go Robbie get your tactics and select the right team because Motherwell are there for the taking. No excuses this is a great chance to get 3rd again in the league. Coming back from Riga is no excuse so let’s get into this wee team and win by playing good attacking football. Don’t let the travelling support down.

Motherwell have the first and fourth most prolific headers in the league in their defence. They’re winning 13 headers a game between them, so I’m guessing they sit in pretty deep and show folk wide. 
 

That’s not where Gino is going to thrive (although if he could replicate the long shooting from the start of the Riga game consistently, would take it back). 
 

For context, Kilmarnock are the next highest total for two CBs on 7 combined.

Yeah Good point mate I do remember him holding his groin right enough 👍

Agree re Stongrass.  I think we'll need him and Humphrys sometime during the game, to counter their strength and aggression.

Yeah it’s a strong bench mate lots of options if things aren’t going our way.

Is there an echo in here?

Surprised to see Kio on from the start,  obviously not match fit but looking forward to see what type of player he is,  also would imagine Snodgrass will get half an hour.    All about our mindset today,  hoping for a more aggressive and up beat performance than of late.  If so I see us edging it 1-2.    Cmon Hearts 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻

Aye, Kio hasn't been training right enough 😆

 

Happy with that other than Clark.

 

Don't speak too soon.  Maybe he will get hauled off after 20 minutes because he's fat and unfit.

One for the historians when was the last time we had a German in the team?

 

Marcel Langer. Also Donis Avdijaj was German born.

FTFY immediately ruling out the misfit Langer

Like the look of that side. 4-3-3 I think. Looking forward to seeing what Kiomourtzoglou can do. 

Hopefully he'll operate between our penalty box and the half way line

We a desperate for a disciplined holding midfield that will sit in front of our centre backs and protect them. 

Leave wee Cammy to hare around breaking up play amd letting of hand grenades everywhere.
