Re-Livi's new pitch.

 

It may very well be a step up from their previous monstrosity but there were quite a few times that the ball came down and bounced ... unnaturally? That's the best word I can find. It's wierd when it happens.

 

As for the millions of rubber pellets that were kicking up? Presumably they're all needed. I'll have to google what that's all about.

Pitch was dreadful. As the ball landed it didn't seem to bounce much and it also seemed to play slowly. Certainly not much of an upgrade if at all

Happy we managed the win, but poor 1st half and we could still have been held to a draw if that UNMARKED Livvy player had been on target. Defence needs a shake up, hopefully new goalie will help.....but we're shipping far too many goals 1.5 per game is too many.We won't always be able to rescue matches,it would be nice to score 1st for a change.🤎🤎🤎

He wasn't unmarked - watch it again, and you'll see he does a clear two handed push on the Hearts player in front of him. 95% sure that it would have been ruled off by VAR had it gone in.

Yeah. Clear foul. Big two hand push to the back to create space for himself.

in addition no one seemed to be able to keep their footing.  Was terrible

If you put Kyzi right who goes left?

What I would do until things settle down a bit, we get a couple of players back and/or we bring in someone else before the window closes, is play Kingsley at left back with Milne in front of him. I think that would be a good partnership in the immediate short term and give the team balance. Milne has bags of energy and attacking threat and would get back and help Kingsley. Both naturally left footed. I'd give it a shot at Livvy. My suspicion is Spittal will be there next Saturday. 

 

Wonder if this is what he does today. To me it's an obvious way to give balance to the side.

He been elevated to a status He doesn't deserve on here and the Hearts supprt in general. Screamed for an experienced manager as he wouldn't make rookie mistakes. Already got 3 out of 4 matches wrong and has changed the team at half time. He'll get found out and will be sacked within the next 18 months. Just doesn't have the tactical nous to take us where we want to go.

 

Still positive as we'll get there eventually, it just wont be with the current manager

We should have known what to expect from him. He wont last long and was never going to be the man to take us forward. All his teams have been hard to watch.

Looking every inch an absolute coward of a manager at the moment. Makes Robbie Neilson look like a cavalier gambler.

 

There’s no ambition here. It’s all about the result, for his sake, he better get it with his KITAP1 football.

Spot on. I've never been on the McInnes train, to be honest, and expect said train to go off a viaduct at some point or another. Hopefully we get rid of him and get in a decent replacement before we get into trouble.

Good bye. If you have to change your team every half time after 10 games and you don't play any new signings other than the two he wanted then it's telling me enough. He can do one as this is eye bleeding.

Can someone tell this prick he’s not managing Killie anymore.

Clueless and far too negative.  He seems out of his depth.

he is a dinosaur of a manager

I've seen enough, mind made up, McInnes will not be a success at Hearts

Is it too early to call for the sack? Feel like this season is already getting away from us. 

 

Talks a good game but never does any of what he says he is going to do.

He’s a ****ing dinosaur prick who’ll be the first manager hounded out for being top of the table. Get your finger out your 1982 arse and play our ****ing best players you arrogant tanning bed arsehole. Stupid prick almost costs us again. Your foreign lads saved your skin once again. **** up bellend

Imagine letting a fine margin win gloss over how ****ing inept our supposed experienced manager is. Hasn’t got the team right since Aberdeen game.

Shambles of a team selection.

 

Shambles of a performance.

 

We need to bin McInnes and that ****ing fraud Jones asap.

Just going to leave these here for discussion…

Generally the consensus in life and football is you need time to make things work.
