Hood09 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 As the question states I have no idea what Robbie is trying to do. when all players are back fit what are peoples thoughts? do we go 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 or continue with 4-3-3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agentjambo Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Who knows…probably just chop and change it.The players seem to know exactly what they’re to do. Edited October 10, 2022 by Agentjambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fxxx the SPFL Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 it''s problematic we are actually goosed defensively only the young lad Neilson at centre back and it's unfair to expect him to control things being thrown in so early in his career. not sure what folk are expecting us to achieve defensively at present we need Halkett and Rowles back asap and you will see a different Hearts. We missed a few chances yesterday and could have won the game unfortunate and feel sorry for Craig Gordon's error although he did catch his boot in the shithole of a pitch.

Good question and although many guess and say they know - nobody really has much of an idea. The players certainly don't know. What I noticed in Fiorentina match was their players hardly looked up before making a pass. They KNEW where their teammates would be. Our players had to control the ball and then look up to see where the other players were. I accept the Italian team had players with more awareness (which is a skill) but it is more difficult to quickly pass the ball if the team and tactics are changed after every game.

busbyfth Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Our style is simple in the bigger matches - we only really have a go once we are behind. Look at the stats. Containment being the order of the day - we adapt our style to other teams. Don't believe me ? Just watch how we play on Sunday away at Aberdeen.

Said before, but not confident we have good enough players to play a possession game. We can’t break teams down very well and our passing isn’t good enough.

Weonly151 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 In my opinion our best formation when everyone is available is. Gordon Smith Halkett Rowles Kingsley Beni Devlin Humphries Boyce McKay Shankland Bit harsh on Corchrane but we have to play our best players I their natural positions. Some will have issues with Humphries on the left but I thought he's done well out there the last few matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homme Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Its not evident at the minute. However it's also not easy to work on and improve a style given how fast and frequent our fixtures are at the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I long for the days when Hearts were uncomplicated and direct. The days when Alex McDonald put out the best XI available to him with the simple instruction of solid defending, midfield drive and forwards who's only thought was to shoot and score goals. Like every team outwith the OF we are simply not good enough to fart around in possession in our own danger area. We don't have the quality of player to retain that possession or to progress it into the opposition's half. It's no coincidence that both of our goals yesterday came from getting the ball forward as quickly as possible. A terrific long ball from Snodgrass that caused mayhem in a Killie defence that didn't see it coming and that terrific, shoot on sight effort, from Natty. I know the game has moved on since Doddie's days but I'm sure there's a happy medium between that era and this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 It's seems to be keep ball but delaying the final pass and allowing our opposition's defense to shut down Shankland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
