The Merse Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Pretty good performance by Hearts today. Could have done with getting a few more shots on goal but our general all round play was a vast improvement on most of our performances since the turn of the year. Good to see Jefferies make a few changes as it was clear the team needed freshened up. Craig Thomson was excellent today too. Great to see Driver back and showed he still has it with that great run! Kello - 7 - one of the easiest afternoons he'll have Wallace - 7 - got forward well, took wrong option a couple of times though Zaliukas - 7 - strolled it Bouzid - same as Zal Thomson - 8 - attacked well, crossed brilliantly, good to see him find some form again Palazuelos - 7 - I'm not a fan but he was decent today Black - 7 - got stuck in and played fine Skacel - 8 - best he has played for quite a while Suso - 8 - good to have him back Obua - 6 - won alot in the air but didn't offer much of a threat Glen - 5 - fairly anonymous unfortantely.

vegas-voss Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Brilliant first have best we have been in ages.2nd half the ref pretty much done his vest to spoil the game and let St Johnsrine back into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerothehero Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Obua had a really good game. Gave their defence as hard a time as Kyle did and covered some amount of grass. Palazuelos also had a good game. Passing was excellent as was his defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Still can't believe we went out of the cup to them after watching that game as it was quite an easy win today - think the lack of atmosphere for the cup game must have been a big factor in that.

St Johnstone won that Cup-tie because they're used to playing to an empty stadium, it was as good as a home game for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Chat Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Some good football, particularly in the first half today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leginten Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 The result was the thing today. Wednesday could easily have been the start of a slump, but we dug out another three points and should actually have won by more than one goal. It was getting a bit chaotic at the end there, but we're back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Lyon Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Palazuelos was immense and I correctly predicted he would get one of the man of the match awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost in leith Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Bit of a strange game. Hanging on a wee bit at the end, but I made it three times that we could pretty much have walked the ball into the net with a bit more composure. It shows you what fine margins there are in the game these days. Kello had a comfortable save in the last few seconds, but if he'd fumbled the ball into the net this place would have been in meltdown. We are in a strange position now. It's only the end of January, but realistically I can't see us finishing in any position other than 3rd. I think this puts JJ in a great position. If he knows who is going in the summer he can ease them out and give fringe players he thinks can make it game time without huge pressure, particularly some of the younger lads on the fringes.
