Lone Striker Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 3 hours ago, Bongo 1874 said: Rangers are nothing special, I Gurantee If we match them in midfield and get them at Tynecastle after the split, we will beat them. Midfield is key against old firm. You say "nothing special", but they usually outgun us. They recruit Champions League level players, so 9 times out of 10 that'll win the day even if we put in a decent performance. I agree with your last statement though - we have to try to be at the top of our game in all aspects of midfield play in order to get something from a match against them.

From then on in, our team has capitulated, Every single Rangers goal is extremely preventable, yet we just let them waltz through us like they are Brazil 1970, Have got to mention though, Zander Clark was ball watching for about 3 of those goals!! What on earth was he doing???? Did he have a bet on Rangers to win?? Need to pick ourselves up and fast for the derby.

Skacelsid Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 IMO and others, we have been containing opponents, making changes and winning games in the second half. The plan has worked well (although I am not a fan) it does carry risk tho especially against better teams, and yesterday it fell apart and could have been worse. I cannot say I was surprised. We are making progress but we need to get to the stage where we come out the traps, are a threat and are trying to win the game for the full 90 minutes. The Hibs game is now the ideal game to pick up and put things right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackOfTheNet Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Didn’t see the game (listened to the radio before turning off) but have to say, stats wise we’ve had a lot worse games in Glasgow. I’d say they were clinical, but having seen the highlights every goal they scored was defendable and avoidable, and we just were weak at every one.

JFK-1 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 An interesting factor is how Clement seems to have turned Rangers into a winning machine with pretty much the same squad Beale had. I think I read before this game that he had overseen 26 games since his arrival with just one loss. That's some record considering what came before. They looked fragile before, were dropping points, now they're frequently blowing teams away, scoring at least 3 is common for them. I have never put much faith in a new manager being able to do too much more with the same squad, but unless they were just ready to click anyway maybe he has something about him.

Yesterday was a result just waiting to happen, in a number of games this season we've not playes well, but managed to pull off a win. Yesterday we didn't play well, if I'm honest we were pretty keek throughout the team and I'm quite pleased it only ended 5-0 because we could have had no complaints if we had gone in 6-0 down at half time.

SN has came up with a system to defeat bottom 6 teams home AND away, which when stuttering to turn possesion or draws into wins, Captain incredible has stepped forward and took responsibility. So kudos to him. I think a few, due to their mental fragility or inability to do simple things when faced with a determined opponent, may have seriously blotted their copybook yesterday and are on shoogly pegs for summer window. I though Shanks did lots of good work yesterday, and incredibly nearly increased his goals tally, with another peice of brilliance out of next to nothing.

We have been fortunate to win most games in the second half, but against a better side this first half complacency will come home to bite us, as it did yesterday.

Forrest gives the boy too much room to cross in. Akky and Kent let dessers get in between them. Kent mistimes jump and misses the ball. Akky seems to knock the goal back across goal. No idea what beni is doing. Just hits it off dessers. Then Kent seems to knock the ball back across goal for an open goal for dessers that even he can't miss 5th goal - shanland let's lundstrum get past him too easy. Kent loses the run of silva and let's him get the shot away. Akky had a hand in 3 of the goals for me. He gives the ball away too easily and too often and in dangerous positions. A better right back must be the priority in the summer. He gives the attackers too much space. Attackers must love playing against him. Rowles at fault for 2 of the goals, Beni 2 and Kent 2.

Maybe could have done better with the 5th with it being a tight angle. The 3rd and 4th were crosses outside the 6 yard box and the 3rd was wide of the goal.

Clement had his team fired up for this which I think shows he anticipated a difficult match 😳. We needed warriors out there on Saturday to match that intensity and instead we got a naive, feckless, reaction. The reasons for that is a big question for Naismith and his staff to answer. No disrespect (well, not too much 😊) to Hibs, but I don’t think we should measure our status in the Scottish game against them. Winning derby matches is always sweet, but in my view it shouldn’t mask what was an abject failure at Ibrox in a match that should have been a platform for Hearts to make a statement of intent.

TexasAndy Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Surprised we lost? No. Surprised we got hammered? A little bit. Just disappointed at how easily we cave in against them and have done for a few seasons now. The disappointment is if we play them in the Scottish Cup assuming we both get through, we won't go in to that withy any degree of confidence. Anyway it's done and we move on and what better than a home derby to put this one to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akky and Kent let dessers get in between them. Kent mistimes jump and misses the ball. Akky seems to knock the goal back across goal. No idea what beni is doing. Just hits it off dessers. Then Kent seems to knock the ball back across goal for an open goal for dessers that even he can't miss Was a foul, a push on Kent by that Tam lad, clear as day and contributed to Kent mis clearing for the tap in. Of course rgey're seeminging to do the right think by going to VAR on a hand ball that was clearly not even in real time. They're sleekit *****!

Something he gave us up his own time to do on a Saturday night. Probably the last thing he wanted to do after a 5-0 loss but done it anyway. Same with Cochrane. Just skimming through the thread and read your post, thanks for sharing. It’s wonderful to read about the things players do for our fans.
