*****The Official Hearts vs Rangers match thread*****

[The Archer 1,414]

The Romanian I was bleaching on about in the summer has played  18 matches scored 7 and 2 assists for Steua 

[Bristoe1872 2,733]

Clement has to be brutal I'm afraid. Players like Lawrence and Roofe must be moved on absolutely no use to us at all. 

Danilio for me also isn't going to cut it he needs far to many chances to score one that miss was ridiculous and could have made the second half so much more comfortable.

Hearts sole tactic,like the cup game,is to play for long throws and punts into our box.

Oh for a 25 year old Jermain Defoe.....even a 35 year old ffs

Everything fell to fuck when JD left...

Danilo has missed 3 or 4 like that this season. Loves a passback to the goalie

Now Danilo is limping off at HT

To cover his blushes I suspect although he was clattered

Our football’s been pretty shit again, hopefully improve 2nd half

I’d argue the only two properly clinical strikers we’ve had since 2018 have been Colak and Itten, and we punted both having barely ever played to their strengths.

Sums it up.

Itten wasnt clincal though

Danilo is a back up striker, nothing more.

For the alleged price he should be finishing that.

Spending circa £13 million on Danilo, Dessers and Lammers is an international war crime.

Shushh don't want the politics section in here....

2nd top scorer 

 

Sima overtook him tonight. All from open play may I add.

Third..

eh

Ran to Sima straight away, "no, no, no, back" pointing and threatening to book him, didn't want him celebrating in front of our supporters.

Bit OTT.

Does Defoe turn into Itten on your auto correct somehow?

Forgot about him  post edited.

I liked Itten, his subsequent career at Young Boys makes me think of what could have been.

Stats do not show it all. Just watch him ffs. Continually giving the ball away, missing tackles, getting skinned. People just see what they want because of his attacking abilities. The whole point of a forum is to give your opinion.  
Said enough about it now. 

Not interested in arguing either way, just curious…if you were to bring in a replacement for each of the eleven starting positions, where would RB rank on your priority list. 
 

He may not be a world class defender, but outside Butland, he’s the least of our worries.

He was at the opposite end from our support

[jamess 3,533]

Seeing the replay again of our goal. It's the sort of goal that those big swanks clubs score.

We seem to play very well in isolated spells in a match, like we are looking for a counter-attacking opportunity or something.

I like Danilo but that is fucking criminal. Not the first time either. 

I just feel like not enough is made of these or that the guys don't appreciate how big a chance it was. Like the Lammers one at Aberdeen, that was a match-winning, gilt-edged chance. He should've been devastated but it felt more just like it was a regular half chance midway through the game or something.

If he was goading hearts fair enough but looked like there was people celebrating where he was stood.

fuck me were crying out for two quality midfielders who can boss and control a game. 

I think we have two but in Ryan Jack one is injured every few months. The other is Lundstram who I honestly think is ridiculously underrated by most of our support. He isn't flashy but does a lot of the dirty work which you need in a team. If we can get decent replacement for Jack who can stay fit I think we're okay.

Sums up how shit you are at arithmetic more like

Refreshing to see us taking risks going forwards.

Better than that tippy happy shit that gets us nowhere

Get Rabbi on to burn that pitch🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Danilo double to make up for his sitter pls.

Aye I fucked it. I knew that O'Reilly had took over Tav as well when I posted that.
