rmreido Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Be good to get a win, but is also important to get a good performance, to take into Thursday's match, have to start matches alot better than we have been, first goal is crucial, going to be tight.....2-1 Hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Idle Talk Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 We seem to have laid to rest our poor run at McDiarmid Park. Time to get to work on our abysmal recent home record against Kilmarnock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Score early, hammer them 3 or 4 nil. They are shite. However, they'll happily sit in and boot the ball away hoping for a mistake or a set piece. Like at St Johnstone, if we do the basics at the back we'll eventually score, but the longer it's 0-0 they'll enjoy it more and get confidence. We have a real good chance of striking a winning run together, I think we'll deliver and over the next few weeks get better. 6-3.

ShedBoy Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Cannot wait to go and watch the lads this Sunday. For various reasons my last game was Aberdeen at home last season. (2-1) I really miss Gorgie, I really miss the noise, the expectation, even the beautiful smell of the distillery that tells me, ‘I’m home’. Roll on Sunday.

We certainly have to play better from the start that’s for sure as they will be feeling confident after last week’s result and may fancy there chances. We need to get our wide players using there pace and get in behind there defence if we do that we could win this comfortably, looking forward to my first game of the season. 2-0🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much more evidence do you need to know that Shankland needs pace up top with him, preferably ahead of him? Ideally they'd have pace, but ultimately Shankland just needs a partner. He and Boyce can be an effective partnership too and we've seen glimpses of that this season. Against a deep defence which isn't leaving space in behind, intelligence, movement, strength and link-up play are more important than pace. FWIW I would play Tagawa with Shankland on Sunday. He seems to have a bit of presence about him as well as the pace and movement, based on his brief cameo v St Johnstone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DxB Hearts Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) They're going to sit in basically the whole game, going to need to be much better on the ball to open them up but we've got that in us. Once we do they'll have to come out and play and we'll pump them. So happy the season is back!! 3-0 Hearts.

Debut 4 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Two tough away games to start the season and a work in progress on that front when it comes to better performances and wins . 1 being a victory at a place in recent history we’ve found it very difficult. So, I expect a strong performance at home from Hearts. Big crowd, players buzzing to come out in front of their own support and get business done. 3-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboJoker98 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Would take a 1-0 right now. McInnes has them well organised, combatative, sitting deep and will be on a high after last weeks result. Don't think this will be a walk in the park. Expect us to have a lot of the ball and we consistently have trouble breaking defensive lines. Our problem isn't necessarily Shankland up top it's more supporting him, progressing the ball forward and tempo in transition is incredibly slow. Pace in the wide areas helps however. Not sure on starting Hoff for this one, struggled to get involved last week and if anything tomorrow will be more of a midfield battle. However, after mid-week I think Haring has played himself in and Devlin out - especially when we need a bit more spark in the middle so I wouldn't be surprised to see Grant. Tagawa starts for fresh legs. Boyce to come on late on to save him for more involvement Rosenborg Clark Atkinson Kent Rowles Kingsley Haring Grant Oda Shanks Lowrie Tagawa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
