the jambo-rocker Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 We won't play as poorly as that again in the next leg. They were surprisingly rattled by our sucker punch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Disastrous mistake in the team selection, poor performance, players missing, shite ref and gave up a two-goal headstart, so I'll take that in the end. This really was an opportunity missed though. They're not that good and definitely worse than Zurich, but they've got a couple of decent players going forward and this result gives them the chance to sit in and hit on the break knowing that one goal gives us a mountain to climb again. Hopefully we never see Shankland up front on his own again. I get that options were limited for this game but we really look uniformly hopeless when we try this. We were far better when we brought a strike partner on, as was the case at the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got the two new lads available for next week who couldn't go tonight (can Kenny play too?) and we'll hopefully have learned a lesson and just start Haring. Beni is some boy, but you can't shove someone straight back in to starting big games after 17 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Dreadful first half. Was worried it'd be 3 or 4 at HT. Having Haring in there 2nd half made a massive difference and the last half hour we were well on top. Not a good result but tie is alive and we can beat them at Tynecastle so you have to be happy we aren't dead and buried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not have his visa by then anyway. But you're right, we've got a stronger team to choose from next week. Just wish we hadn't shot ourselves in the foot tonight when we could've just started Haring. In contrast to Beni, Boyce looks sharp and played well when he came on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we get him a bit longer on Sunday so he can contribute more on Thursday. He's looking good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJF Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Not a bad result at all. Well in the tie, the goal could be massive. Even though there’s no away goals it just gives Hearts the momentum shift going back to Tynecastle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he's still not listed in our squad on the UEFA website, so I'm not convinced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crùbag Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Management lost that for us. The first half was woeful with an unfit Beni gifting two goals and Devlin passing to the opposition all the time. Bizarrely, both were kept on, Devlin for 70 mins or so. Rosenborg funnily enough looked all over the place when we finally got our act in gear. Their performances against Crusaders suggested they might. Why didn McAvoy/ Naismith see that FFS?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen it reported in a few places Vargas wasn't registered before the deadline yesterday and he's not on the official squad list on the uefa site. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you can only make two changes in the week before the game and that'll have been Tagawa and Lowry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Serious question here Tarts. That Devlin boy, what does he bring to the team? Every time I see him play he is bang average or rotten. He's not a passer, runner, tackler...I personally don't see any benefits. As soon as he went off last night you were straight into the game. Please explain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain. He is a tackler and a runner typically. I think he had the most tackles in the league the season before last, or close to it. Him and Baningime consistently turning possession over by winning the ball back was a big factor in us easily finishing third that season. With the ball, he's erratic. In the Zurich home game last year he was brilliant at making space for himself, keeping it simple and and keeping us on the front foot until the red card, but we haven't seen that enough from him, particularly recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHF-23 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Not seen him at his best for a while but Devlin's a player that'll always do well in our league. Covers a lot of ground and wins the ball all over the park, even if he's not the best with it. Really liked the balance between him and Beni when I saw hearts play a couple of seasons back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, as I was thinking you see him more than me. Just the games I watch last season then last night, i just watched him only as play flowed on for about 10 mins and he was not on it, seemed to be in no mans land half the time, and not showing for the ball. His ball distrabution was a simple pass back to the player that he just recieved it from. As you say, his form must have dropped. Empty jersey for me at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
