the real mackay Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Just watched Chelsea losing to Man City. The general feeling among the pundits was Chelsea did well and created chances. I would like to be able to say that about Hearts tonight, but we created nothing. I think we have a great squad that was capable of really troubling a nervous Rangers side, but we are drilled to sit deep and defend. Tonight despite some stellar defensive performances there was no out ball because the whole team was sitting so deep. I just wish we could play in Glasgow the some of the fast one touch football we played on Saturday and really challenge the uglies. Let’s face it they know exactly what to expect when We visit them now. It is different than Levein tactics. I remember MacDonald as a manager who, yeah we took some bearings, always had his team have a real go at winning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for him, hopefully it'll help moderate the discourse. No question he adds perspective regardless of how many agree. Fair few posters out playing the I'm a better fan than you card as usual though - it's tiresome. There are a spectrum of views and just because you aren't clapping vigorously doesn't make you Hibs.

I will support Hearts no matter who is in charge, it's not my job to tell the board that Robbie isn't good enough, I want better but he's just signed a 3yr deal. So I try to be positive and get behind him and the team, genuinely can't win lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the real mackay Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 People having a real go at Mckay. I agree that he isn’t reaching the form that he was at last season. My question is have teams sussed him out and realised what he is going to do or our current players not making the runs that Simms made last season. It is Mckay’s second season here and I am wondering what we have done to actually improve Mckay, who undoubtedly has bags of talent, as a player. Just a question, but can you tell me a player that has come to Hearts and really improved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruickie's Moustache Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Thought we played well tonight from a defensive point of view. Understand the desire to maintain possession but can't help feel we miss opportunities to drive forward. Too many times a player has space in front of them but they stop then pass backwards and we then succumb to the opposition's press rather than giving them something to think about. How many times do we have free kicks around the half way line and the ball ends up going back to Gordon? Understand we don't want to go route one all the time but how many times do we play tippy tappy at the corner of our own box then finally have to go route one anyway. Often the early long ball might actually catch the opposition off guard. So defensively, reasonably sound but going forward all too often very slow, ponderous, predictable and easy for better or well organised teams (Livi at the weekend!?) to cope with. All that said still in a good position in the league with injured players hopefully bolstering the team after the WC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo92 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Robbie's game plan worked for 60 minutes, actually thought we played well, just no composure in the final 3rd which has been a common theme in almost all of out away games this season. Nick a goal and we would be saying he's a tactical genius. Biggest negative for me was how easy we made the last 10 mins for them, looked more concerned about not conceding a 2nd rather than scoring ourself.

portobellojambo1 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, Barack said: Final summary from me. Rangers were there for at least a point. Defence was like night & day with Rowles back, bar one slack moment. The yardstick is on the weekend, where we need to get the three points, by whatever means necessary. I agree with your summation, i.e. that Rangers team were there for the taking. My own thoughts were that we didn't commit ourselves enough going forward, a kind of fear of playing with some risk involved. Others on the bus said they felt it was poor defending which cost us bur I thought in the main we defended well and if either Neilson or the Aussie manager had any doubts about Rowles then tonight will have changed their minds, he put in a really good shift. I just thought that when going forward an extra player or two joining in may have helped us break them down.

The hammered Aberdeen just over week ago then lost a game. I'm sure folk have been watching them in the UCL and though- they're shite, if we have a go like Napoli or Liverpool and believe we can better them. Bit disappointing we couldn't muster more attacks but a 1-0 defeat v Rangers is not something to get too upset about, like some others seem to be doing. Mate, I love your constant positivity. I really do. But that was disappointing tonight. Not one shot on target against an out of form Rangers team. Even you can't be happy with that? We lack stones at Ibrox and Parkhead. Its like our players see the blue strip or the green & white hoops and go into a shell. It's annoying. Rangers were actually there for the taking tonight. It's not often that can be said. But tonight they really were there to be beat. We just didn't 'man up'. Toby was great. Alex Cochrane was very good. Snoddy was good too. Kye Rowles was fantastic. But not many others played to the level they can. I feel really frustrated that we didn't come away with something tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. We played excellent. But we need to watch our line at the back. Sibbick played a few onside down to not looking. Apart from that excellent. We were very confident. Proud of the Aussie contingency. Played excellent. Cant grumble about much. The goal we left him unmarked and in way too much space. Finally our shape is coming back. Few ins & outs winter and we’ll be dandy. Snodgrass was also brilliant and showing his experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenNaismith Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 The game plan was exactly what we needed, get the crowd restless and on their backs. There has to come a point though where you use that to your advantage and flick the switch so to speak. I was very disappointed that once the crowd had turned on them that we didn’t push ourselves further up the park and force mistakes. If anything, we continued to get deeper and deeper as the game wore on, evidenced by their goal. They were there for the taking last night and I felt we barely laid a glove on them.

Bob is back in favour and we are going in good direction but we can still do better and last night was an example. Going long is Plan B but the aim of football is to score goals, irrespective on how you do it. The wee passages of passing generally saw us turn over the ball because of the Rangers press.
