You don't think there's something wrong in saying x player/manager/formation is without atleast waiting until the game's up? It's football, things can be turned round at any time - as it proved today. That's not me saying I thought we were good first half, but have a bit of patience and little bit of perspective (not you specifically, btw). I also thought Dundee made us look not very good, as opposed to us making them look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Job done I suppose ✅ A curious stat about Shankland's 3 penalty misses - we've still won the game anyway whenever it's happened 😊 I don't think Dundee are a bad side at all. Our comeback, to show that dogged spirit is something that our manager has in spades. We need more work, clearly, but that quality is something I want our players to have. Oda & Dexter on the right is so potent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Driving into work and effectively only "radio" coverage for the first half gave me the seethe. Setting up my computer for the day when the Hoff scored so I missed watching that. We equalise and my stifled wasn't as stifled as I thought. So Oda's winner needed a toilet visit for the delayed A Neilson team couldn't have done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 2 minutes ago, Pasquale for King said: Hes made loads of mistakes, you play your best players, end of story. He also has the 2nd most clean sheets in the league. It would be extremely harsh for him to immediately lose his jersey. I love Craig Gordon to bits. When I was wee and getting into football he was just establishing himself as our number 1. I want to see him back between the sticks too, but with Zanders decent form its unjustifiable to replace him. Perhaps in the summer we can revisit things. It might be worth selling Zander if he wants to try his luck down south and give us a chance to give Craig a clear run at the #1 Jersey, or we just leave things as they are and let them compete. Could be the route to get the best out of both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That first half performance was nothing short of a disgrace and probably the worst witnessed for a very long time. The worst first half since the last home game! A bit of a worrying recurring theme at home. But credit to Naisy for the change in formation at half time and the subs worked well (although Forrest one obviously forced). Can we not just start like that for a change? Oda did more in the first minute he came on compared to the hour or so he had on Saturday and scored a great goal (I think, or deflection?). Dexter looked really good going forward again and I was impressed with Tait, he was very busy, always wanting the ball and trying to make things he happen.

Nelly Terraces Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Honestly didn’t think we ever had a performance like that in us but delighted we did, a change in personnel & formation added to an upping of the pace we moved the ball proved crucial.

heartsfc_fan Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Some game. We were awful in the first half. Beni and Halkett looked like they'd been on the sauce. Second half + subs worked.

Corstorphine Jambo Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Our midfield looked so much stronger when we went 4 at the back. And I enjoyed the second half. We pummelled them.

Two goals against the run of play, both created by Hearts mistakes, albeit they did do a good execution job. Big difference though when young Tait replaced Beni, a player who wanted the ball, is prepared to move to get the ball, looks for positive passes, and prepared to put in a tackle. He gets my vote against the fans favourite. 🪖on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) I’ve went on about one aspect for ages that seems to plague us and that was individual intensity to a man. That was the first half. It all seemed too passive, training ground exercise stuff from us. Our players need to work harder, think quicker, move the ball into the small gaps that open up to progress the ball (which Tait offered and executed when he came on). Meanwhile, Dundee were brisk in possession, looked more of a unit through the middle of the park and had more anticipation and worked harder in general. Fair play to Naismith though. He got a reaction. It took 5 or 10 mins for us to adjust to the new shape and the more positive changes helped, even though one was forced with Beni going off. Tait…..very composed, plays with his head up, knows where he wants to put the ball even before he’s got it. Two footed. Looks an exciting prospect, very exciting. Looks to have genuine quality and a good brain. FTH Edited January 23 by Debut 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimUpNorth Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 45 minutes ago, 1971fozzy said: comments weren’t mental , why are folk saying this. Listen to Naismiths interview after the game. He agreed. do you want us high giving each other at half time. inwill give a lot of credit for 58-98 minutes though. As SN said that’s what we need for the whole game. It's every game, every week. We go behind in any game, or don't blitz lesser sides away and it's "the players are shit, the management need sacked" etc etc. Completely unrealistic. We've got a large number of fans who have got OF entitlement. We're sitting in well clear in 3rd place, semi final of one cup and through to the 5th round in the other. We're not going to play like Brazil 1970 every minute of every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have booked Kingsley in the second half (and I dunno if Halks got one for his "challenge" but I think that deserved one too) but otherwise I thought the ref got pretty much every significant decision right. Seriously? He got both penalty decisions wrong! Obviously can’t blame him for the wrong offside flag on Dundee’s fist goal too but that’s 3 major decisions the officials got wrong onfield ! Plus Kingsley should have got yellow (and I’m not sure if Halkett got one for the non penalty but certainly should have). VAR was better than the onfield officials tonight, it did it’s job, but to be fair maybe not the easiest decisions to give in real time (I did think Halkett’s one was outside the box from the Roseburn though so ref should have got that right).

ScandinavianJambo Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Right, I was pi*** off at half time, Naisy thought it was a horrible first half. We have not come back from 2 goals down since 2002, I believe. Thus, the comeback was great, the team did amazing to push though (and so did Naisy), but to say that one couldn't be peed off is just laughable. Off course one can. Being peed off is the point of football. As long as one can rejoice in the win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haj Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I like Halkett but his main contribution tonight was to give the ball away then give up dangerous free kicks trying to make up for his mistakes. He’s clearly not comfortable being asked to pass out from the back. Great to see a Hearts team with so much bottle though, even when performances aren’t perfect. Naismith is really starting to prove himself as a very good manager and long may it continue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
