Match Thread Hearts v Rangers - 12:15 Sunday - BT Sports

[Inspector Blake]

Tavernier - whether it is a lack of confidence or loss of form, he does not deserve a place in the team.
Ojo - shirks out of one on one tackles, doesn't beat his man often enough.
Kamara - doesn't look the same player as last season.
Arfield - a bit better today but still below top form.
Aribo - contributes nothing to the team.

 

[The Pink Panther]

Good performance from Hearts.

Tav mistake again, which you could let slide if he offered more going forward. Couple of excellent positions with Sunday league deliveries.

another fuckup, should be dropped.
but another 13 players also played you know

The other 13 players didn't gift them their goal.

 

[Captain Cutlass]

Ah well. Time to stay off here for a couple of days.

I'm glad it's not just me that thinks this thread is even more mental than usual!

 

[Sm-1872-]

Wasted free kick from Tav at the end. He's had a nightmare and needs rested. He's a better player than what he is showing lately.
If we are to win anything we need leaders on the park. We currently have none.

Needs rested..... Mate we are just back from an international break ffs. Which he took no part in

 

[Davieblue1977]

Everytime theres a break we come back n play shite

Correct bro

 

[Mason Boyne]

International break came at the wrong time for us,

 

[williewoodburn]

Hearts kicked more of our players in one season than Motherwell usually manage in a whole season.

Still, we should've done much better. Tav needs to have a word with himself.

 

[Taiwan Loyal]

That free kick at the end summed Tav up. Pathetic again today.

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

We need a new right back.

 

[ayrshireblue]

Love Gerard but what is it with Tav ? How many games is he going to cost us until he gets dropped ?

 

[abz_bear]

Manager and players shat it

oh do please shut up!

Some folk in here are utter tubes.

Theres going to be a lot more twists and turns this season, if a lot of you can’t understand or cope with it then go and watch some other kind of sport!

 

[TN8]

Why is that fraud of a manager of ours hiding on his seat as usual

F*ck off ya fucking roaster.

 

[Nerf Herder]

Terrible performance today against a very ordinary Hearts side.

We let them settle into the game and get the perfect start where we should have been in their faces and the nerves would have built for them.

We also created nothing so didn’t deserve more than a point.

%^*& off dick

 

[gordon_blue]

Missed Ryan Jack badly.

Too many others didn't turn up.

 

[Bordersbear]

Its clear Jack is our most important midfielder.

That does not excuse the performance by the majority of the players on the park today. Utterly dreadful team performance. The only excuse is the momentum being lost by these crap international breaks.

 

[Stuger90]

Midfield completely over run today. Couldn't get kent and Stewart on the ball when they came on. Kamara and Aribo doing f**k all. Tav sh*ting the bed again.
Gerrard needs to stop playing favourites.

 

[theateam]

Some comments are disgraceful,this is more like a Kerryfail street thread

You think he did just fine and dandy I suppose? He was dreadful today, absolutely dreadful, yet again.

 

[standardbarger]

We will win nowt with Tav involved

I have been saying that for seasons no one listens goal after goal cup finals important league games and euro games costing us, costing us, costing us.

 

[chuckey]

Just before half time you said this. Unbelievable negativity 9 games in.

You got a problem with that?

 

[noucamp72]

The first fixture in a really tough run of games and we falter once again.

 

[Chester Loyal]

Game has been finished 5 minutes and I’m still waiting on Kamara playing a forward pass.

 

[Duranman]

Top of the league for one game. We are winning nothing with serial losers like Tavernier as captain. He's not the only one to be fair.

 

[Resident_hammy_bear]

Nonsense!

and why is that nonsense? tav is LITERALLY giving away results like its christmas and its just straight up glaring errors and he is not doing anything to justify him in an attacking sense either, playing him when he has been an absolute liability all season is nonsense

 

[Main Stand]

hearts are a poor side , tims wont drop points there , missed jacko driving us on something awful today

 

[Overanout]

Another defensive howler, we created nothing against one of the poorest teams in league. All hearts had was effort and a bit of fight, our lads didn't seem up for it. The reaction will no doubt be nuclear but I can't blame any fan being angry at that rubbish today.

 

[Vote For Pedro]

Judging by that second half I’d say we settled for a draw. Piss poor attitude!

 

[Buzz07]

Why is that fraud of a manager of ours hiding on his seat as usual

%^*& right off with this nonsense. Two days ago he was the greatest.

 

[Deek]

Only one cost us a goal, however.

Again

How many of them gave away a goal today?
How many gave away 2 and cost us 3 points against Young Boys?

He's a good player but he needs dropped.

 

[blueboab]

Tav was rubbish, Aribo was anonymous, Ojo didn’t look interested and Arfield shouldn’t be anywhere near the team after internationals he just didn’t look like he had anything in the tank

 

[jonesy8]

Too slow throughout today and apart from 45 minutes at St Johnstone, our away performances have been poor. Need to step it up. Jack a big loss today. Plenty will say about Tav, but there was others who were just as poor. Not a good day all round avoided defeat but nowhere near good enough.

 

[imvaison]

Well that’s 90 mins I’ll never get back.
We weren’t very good but honestly how could anyone follow a team like Hearts?
Good to see Ryan Kent back though.

 

[Moreloslaces]

Shit the bed at the first opportunity.

Just like last time. Couldnt stay in 1st for1 fucking game. Bottle merchants

 

[jdm1873]

Why do we let Tav hit our deadballs. That final delivery was shit.

 

[Robocop1960]

Your having a laugh surely.He must be phucking raging when he watches how our players hide when it really matters.

 

[Realger34]

How’s this post working out for you anyway?

 

[westcraigs bear]

Captain calamity strikes again. When we have that coward as our leader, there's no wonder why most of the team can't get geared up for a tough game

 

[NDC bear forever]

Correct but you cant give goals away can you? And it's not the first time

It was a shocker from Tav but a team with a strong mentality bounces back from that and gets the win.

 

[TN8]

Greeting faced weans everywhere already

 

[ClockworkOrange]

It's almost as if having a manager who was captain of a team that regularly bottled their own title challenges is having an effect on this one.

 

[Bulletproof]

Why is that fraud of a manager of ours hiding on his seat as usual

Bit harsh fella.. People forget where we were pre Gerrard.

 

[Prestwick_ Bear]

wrong forum mentally challenged

Fucking unreal on here at times mate.

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

Fell at the first hurdle of a tough run of games.

 

[THEGOVANFRONT]

All games are must win
BUT
How many times now do we fail when it comes to winning THE BIG games

Virtually no football played throughout 90mins & a team totally unready for the start of the match which is disgraceful

 

[Bluenose1979]

This was a huge test of character today. A chance after the break and top of the league on great form to prove we have the title-winning mentality and quality to live up to the premature “we shall not be moved” rubbish.

Unfortunately we look much like last season and unable to cope with the real big days in this race.
Losing to the mhanks when it was on a plate for us to stand on their neck and now absolute chucking it against a Hearts team in embarrassing form makes it very difficult to believe we’re going to go and get 55 this season.

Tough run coming up and still don’t look anything near confident on our travels.

 

[Cardendenger]

Tav is either a 9/10 or he's a 3/10 there's no inbetween

 

[Stanley]

Poor team display. Wrong team picked. Broke up a winning formation. This is what happens - a disjointed effort. No flowing football. Bullied out of playing football. Very few get pass marks. SG has to learn from his mistake today.
