With the players we have available, I wouldn't be against that team.  In last weeks game they had far too much freedom in midfield so a midfield diamond would remedy that.  Sibbick is the closest we have to a CD so needs to play.

No predictions, not much optimism for a result, but it's still watching the boys in maroon play in a picturesque Tuscan stadium in a major competition, and I'm going to do my best to enjoy that part of it.

 

At this point, I hope the players don't overthink it or stress about it and just go out and enjoy their football and each other. If they do that, maybe good things happen.

no getting overrun in midfield and McKay as no ten Behind front 2. We constantly get overrun in midfield and Robbie waits too long to change it and by then we have already lost. Hopefully sees this same lineup. We have absolutely nothing to lose. Lose this game and we are out pretty much

We seem to be doing better away from home so hopefully that goes for us tonight. Rs gpt

a draw out of Fiorentina plus they got mailed 4-0 at weekend so hopefully we get our tactics right no being overrun in midfield as that’s where this game will be won or lost. Have to play cammy

Fingers crossed, looking forward to it now.

 

Regard the bit in bold, I'm not his biggest fan (but still a fan if that makes sense) but I totally agree, last time out was madness. If he's no in the 11 through choice, I may turn it off before it starts 😂

Meh. Dragging myself out of bed at 3.45am to watch a 5-0 humping.

You reckon we'll score as many as five? 😉

 

EDIT: Damn - I just scanned further through the thread and saw @EIEIO beat me to it

Think packing the midfield and giving them no time on the ball in our half is key tonight. That's why I think 4231 would be a better formation tonight but with the 3 playing further back.

532 for me with Forrest trying to get near Humphrey’s. Pack the centre of the park and hope for the best in the break. Mckay and shankland on the bench as we need guys that will work hard and chase them down. Try and press them higher up the pitch. 

The formation and tactics make sense but there's something not quite right about your line-up!

Not sure mate but we need some experience at the back

 

If injured maybe Haring 

He’s sitting in his hoose mate, he didn’t even travel.

I wonder if we played with an extra man, would we get a draw!?

We're using OF SPFL tactics and installing Kingsley as the ref.

Are we allowed to play 12?

I like your thinking field 12 men as that's the only way I think we'll have a decent chance 😁

They've checked UEFA rules and apparently Halliday is indeed a man short.  So 11 it is.

Shanks dropped, even though he was doing the press conference. Not the first time Robbie has done that.

Think that’s the right team and formation to play .

 

Humphrys needs to hold the ball up well 

I just hope McKay and Forrest get involved. Our wide players have been passengers in many recent games.

With the players available, I can't really argue with that team. I might have played Sibbick ahead of Halliday. But not going to complain too much.

Agreed. Forrest has show a little bit more recently but still not great. McKay needs to turn up tonight

Is Gino injured? McKay needs drapped for a game or two. And not playing Shankland is utter bollox.

As we are playing the one upfront. Humphrys is the better option. 
 

Wr need that extra man in midfield

That is one astonishingly weak bench.

 

This has not been a good summer for recruitment.

 

0-2 Hearts 

McKay double

Haring will get ragdolled.

 

If he closes his parachute before entering the field he might be OK.

 

Probably need him in for his ariel presence.

Gino is injured.

McKay probably could do with being dropped, but he was always going to start this one.

Shanks isn't a lone striker - we know this. So not playing him in a 4-5-1 isn't a bad call.

If you add Rowles,  Smith, Gino, Boyce,  Halkett and  Benni we are much stronger.

But we can’t. I think that’s his point?
