Not looking for a huge win, just a win! History means nothing no matter how many times we pump them it's a one off game. Will be tighter than some hope and we need to get fired up and at them from KO. Get the pace going and attack and we WILL win. Would love to see two or three before half time but I am afraid that won't happen. Would be great if we did and no stupid subs when ahead and keep playing for 90+ minutes.

That is the difference in mentality between the old firm and the rest. They go two or three up and keep going. Other teams try and play the game out.

Sibbick hahahaha shoe horned into a position he never plays. You're genuinely at the wind up now. No Shankland.

 

Give it up you imposter.

Just thank the lord he isn't the manager. Because he is a Stendel lover he wants Sibbick to succeed when 95% of the support can see that he isn't going to make it in any position. As for leaving Shanks out, yip that's what you do, leave the guy that has scored 25 goals out the starting 11 at home, in a derby! He is the one player they will fear over anyone else. 

Did Rangers fear him on Saturday, actually forgot he was playing,was bursting a gut right enough 😂 my loyalty are with Hearts.

 

Shanklands you can tell me ? What team does he support.

I get what you’re saying about Atkinson but Dexter at RB at Ibrox or even against Hibs gives me the fear.   I’d go as far as to say I’d rather see Sibbick at RB ahead of Dexter (if it’s a 4 at the back).  It’s 3 not very good options, let’s be honest and needs addressing in the summer. 

I agree entirely. But my patience with Atkinson is gone. Definitely needs a long term replacement in the summer. Maybe worth a shout Sibbick at RB even though he gets pelters on here.

Nope. Sibbick deserves to be long gone before Atkinson.

So because he didn't score against Rangers in a game we struggled to get over the halfway line, we leave him out against Hibs at home? I'm pretty sure that who he supports is completely irrelevant to the score at the weekend. As for playing Sibbick, do you remember the last derby at home to them and how they got back into the game? Not just the mistake for the goal, have a look back at who panics and shells it out for the throw in leading up to it with no pressure on him. He is an accident waiting to happen and even playing midfield this season he has been dreadful. I can think off the top of my head, Partick at home, away to Dundee and PAOK. Looks like a centre half playing out of position. We have far better options than him playing in there and there is little to zero chance he will play in there on Wednesday.

You go with Vargas because he's quick, that's it.

 

Hibs will sit in and leave no space behind their defence.

I guess he must have forgotten who he supports when he scored in the last two games at Ibrox and in the semi final. 
 

Rangers wont fear any of our players but I can guarantee the one name they’d be pleased to see missing off our team sheet would be Shanks.  And the one they’d be delighted to see would be Sibbick!

It's amazing to think Shankland has never won a game against Rangers,in a Hearts jersey,Sibbick on the other hand 🤔.

Kingsley has to play, he’s shown he’s more than capable on the right side and is a far better option than Atkinson and Dexter. 
 

Vargas was outstanding on the left against Motherwell. We are so much better with Shankland as focal point and the rest playing off him. 

That’s just not true, Vargas has struggled on the left and we haven’t played well once with Shankland as the focal point. He needs a quick player beside him to create the space for him to play in around the box.

I’m actually not sure what’s worse - Dexter at RB, Kingsley at CB in a flat 4,  Sibbick instead of Beni / Devlin / Tait or no Shanks.  Probably not a game for Fraser either tbh.

Thank you personally,I would drop him until he signs a new deal but,don't mind him playing just off someone that has pace upfront.

 

 

[Pasquale for King]

I can see the point about Toby at RB, he had both Youan and Boyle in his pocket the last time at Tynecastle, he or Dexter have to play there.

Give it up Bongo ffs!  Stendel is gone and Sibbick will be gone soon too, he’s utter pony. 
 

The only other player in the squad that has won against Rangers as a Hearts player is Gordon, it’s hardly down to Shankland that we’ve had an abysmal record against them for years.

I reckon we should play Sibbick up front and just leave Shankland out. Sibbick played in the great Stendel side doncha know. 

[Madjambo21]

Rowles had a howler on Saturday but let's not forget most of the season he has been really good for us.

Not sure out of Atkinson or Lembisika though.

Maybe have devlin, Hoff and Benni in the middle to win the battle.

 

Got to start Forrest.

Only other big change I'd like to see is Gordon back in goals

Been a massive critic of Rowles. He's improved considerably in recent months. That was absolute dogshit from him on Saturday. 

 

Not sure much has been made of it but Kent is criminal at the 4th goal. Shades of Danillo winner earlier in the season. Although how its not handball against Dessers I've no idea.
