Snodgrass, at times. Humph seems the best bet. Think it's more down to the manager not wanting to play that way, rather than not being to find someone. The emphasis in the centre of midfield seems to be more on holding/defensive minded players. Agreed that box to box carrying midfielders are hard to come by, though we've done it in the past. Just feel we lack that particular threat in our arsenal, as when we do go through the middle it can be fantastic to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing between the teams (out-with Glasgow) in this league at the moment so drawing any comparison is purely a "wild forecast".

It’s not a great argument but it’s better than rehashing the same cliches regardless of what happened on the pitch. The game yesterday was very different from, say, the game at Ibrox. I don’t feel like it’s asking too much to say people should be able to find different criticisms between the games.

I think we generally did okay but were just outclassed a bit at Ibrox, but had the wrong shape yesterday. That’s exactly what I said in my first posts from this morning. That I take each game on its own merits at the moment, as arguments such as “4 points off 3rd” are vague and almost baseless. Context is always important, but I feel when people use that argument it’s almost dismissive. Some actually talk about each performance, as you, I and a few others have done since yesterday, but there are many - on both sides - who want to be dismissive either of Neilson, or of his critics.

We do change more than any team by miles I feel like all last season we had two base formations, the 3-4-3 and the 4-2-3-1. This season we've tried the 4-3-3 and the 4-1-4-1, both of which really aren't that different than the 4-2-3-1, really just how you arrange the attacking midfielders. The biggest curveball I've seen us throw was going to the 4-4-1-1 against Rangers. I think yesterday was the perfect time to use the 3-4-3. We needed the wingbacks further forward to be able to pass the ball through their stodgy midfield traps. As far as what it actually was, Hearts TV had their on-screen graphic as a 4-1-4-1 but that was with Halliday in the attacking midfield alongside Snodgrass with Kio behind them. When Devlin came on instead, I felt like both Dev and Kio ended up effectively playing holding mids, which made us sag into a 4-2-3-1. Maybe the late change messed with our preparation, I dunno.

PapaShango Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I like Robbie, he has his faults but most managers do. He's been dealt an awful hand with the injuries and I'm pretty certain we would have had more points on the board if he had either Halkett or Rowles available more than he has. I think judgement will come if we don't pick up points once our injured players come back. However what can't be denied is that there is a togetherness amongst the squad of players and a willingness to play for the manager and dig out results. I've watched Hibs and Aberdeen a few times this season and there is nothing from either of them to fear. I will be astonished if Hibs are even in the running for 3rd, they are very poor IMO and top 6 might be a stretch for them again this season.

Jingle Bells Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 It's five at the back in any case because the "wing-backs" aren't good enough and get pushed back along with the two overworked central midfielders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watt-Zeefuik Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 We largely solved the midfield overrun problem last season by having Boyce sit behind the rest of the forwards and play a kind of extra high midfielder/#10 position and change it into a 3-4-1-2 with a single wing and Simms cutting in a bit more than sitting high. Snodgrass is the natural person to slot into that role but since we've gotten him on board we haven't had the CHs healthy to play a decent back 3. Put Snodgrass in that #10 position and have a high quality back 3 and the 3-4-3 (or 3-4-1-2 or whatever) is an ideal formation for breaking down stodgy teams like Livingston.

Not to the point the supporter was backtracking but he got his just desserts Whether your for or against Robbie the panel certainly put forward a very good counter argument in all fairness.

Nevertheless I’m NOT a professional, I don’t understand the ins and out of everyday football management. When the likes of professionals like McFadden, Stewart, Naismith and even Halliday tell you that Robbie Neilson is basically the best manager in the league you listen. said it numerous times on here we have had a good season this year and a great one last year. this interview tells you all you need to know about where we are and where we’re heading! intense attacking football with style once we get back on a level playing field which will roughly be within the next 4-6 weeks! personally I can’t wait to see RN and his management team take us next level which btw is probably 3rd with a cup and/or European run (likely not 2nd in league) we are VERY lucky to have RN in charge of our football club and as Halliday said on Open Goal it’s a minority who think otherwise (majority are on here right enough!!) If you disagree with any of this article your clueless and you don’t know football even at fickle fan level. https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/hearts-from-last-season-to-this-season-points-prizes-perceptions-and-punters-3917792?amp Great article and thanks for posting.

And a lot of professionals in the game. Still, the Robbie Oot mob know better. So we should bow to their superior knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
