simon 1,773 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 One up front with Lafferty leading the line was not working, everyone could see that. It should have been changed, give him a partner.It didn't happen and it cost us. Not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM1872 3,821 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 What i don't understand are you folks making the others who are dissappointed look shameful.How the hell is being "optimistic" going to be the grudgeline of this match? - we SHOULD be doing it, but we aren't, is this down to the fact we sold our 22 half-season striker for 400k (which wouldn't actually buy a top 6 SPL striker) or is this down to the fact we've played Lafferty up front (alone) who has the first touch of a rhino?Questions need asked here today, serious questions. Because this is just unacceptable.Atleast someone agrees with me Very well, we controlled the game. But sticking with a defensive minded formation for the majority of the game was a ridiculous decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
minstral 5,375 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Calm the fuck down We've been the better side by far, some games just go like that.You can be the better side all you want, but the fact is we have just thrown away 3 points.

Allanger 625 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 WE should have finished them off in the first half.Their keeper kept them in the game. Second half we fell away tae fuck. One up front is not the answer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol 401 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 They say its matches like this that shape Champions. We just couldn't score because we have 1 up front, and for the majority of the match it was not and never will be a proven goalscorer. We may well have played them off the park, but playing teams off parks without winning games doesn't win the title Having 1 striker up front wasn't the reason Lafferty missed his chances and their goalkeeper made several top saves. People get fixated on formations. Very few teams actually play a straight 4-4-2 nowadays. 4-5-1 isn't necessarily defensive! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gers31 246 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 aww well first away defeat all season but i still say we should be playing 4-4-2 in every game this one up front doesnt help us one bit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,995 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Awful 2nd half. Just awful. Our finishing was terrible and once we got discouraged, aimless long balls ensued. They score from their first or second chance and we never looked like scoring after that bar Jelavic's effort.Should have been out of sight in the first half but we didn't put them away when we were dominating.

AW-WATP 112 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The Doom & Gloom team are out again. Do you really think we are going to win every game?We didn't take our chances and lost by one goal but are we going to win the league? Of course we fucking are,WATP.Its always going to be a tough game playing away,you just need to be realistic.Hearts? They'll drift away once their form slumps.We looked brilliant 1st half and once Jelavic is fighting fit and up front with Lafferty we will be back at the summit soon enough.

nvager 498 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 We lost imo because of two things:1. Only played 1 striker up front - we should never do this in the SPL.2. Whittaker's usual poor defending. Then playing the Hearts man onside at the goal.Please play Lafferty and Jelavic up front together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delparlane 6,010 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 because we stopped playing football and punted the thing forward, Walter really needs to take a look at how we play the game at timesCan't believe how we continue to refuse to learn the obvious!! What the hell is the matter with our management when everyone else can see it, but they can't? Having great success in the first half, then falling back on the same old USELESS "tactics" in the second. Does my heid right in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendofCoop 18,165 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 One of the best overall games we've played this season as well. Hearts 1 shot on target and scored. How did we not win by at least 4 goals?Marian Kello! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo 708 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I thought Lafferty started OK but his first touch is absolutely disgusting for a professional footballer. Hearts were rubbish in the first half and we couldn't take advantage of it.. we should have been at least 2-0 up. I thought Hearts were poor overall today and the one half decent chance they got they took which was the only difference today. I'm still confident we will win the SPL.. there's a long way to go.
