FC Zurich v Hearts

[Eddie Doc]

That defence of Hearts has been terrible. 2-1 isn’t the worst though to take back for them

Apparently our defence makes theirs look like peak AC Milan in the 90s.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

From 83:53 to 85:08 not a single word was said during 'commentary'. I suppose it's a good thing considering who's doing the gig.

 

[WATP1979]

Shambles that Hearts and us have to play this weekend with so much at stake next mid-week

 

[DrumBear]

Would love to hear what debate you think can be had over Kent v Wright/McKay.

I would love that 'debate' myself haha.

I'd rather play to stay sharp. We're getting up to speed.

 

[Clay Davis]

Zurich really should have put this to bed.

Hearts haven’t defended well at all.

 

[OohAhHuistra]

I’m not reading back but given the FF lunatic fringe I believe that’s been said.

Would love to hear what debate you think can be had over Kent v Wright/McKay.

I put my opinion out that McKay would offer more for us than wright currently is.

I’m shot down as being a “FF shitebag” because the stats don’t lie. And stats override my opinion apparently.

My point is Wright scored more than Kent last season so do the stats put Wright ahead of him?

Or are we in a moneyball world where it’s all about the stats?

 

[sw26]

Not the worst result in isolation.

 

[EH47]

Zurich are there to be beaten in 2nd leg but hertz also have the potential to make a James Hunt of it

 

[Damsidebear]

It's not a disastrous result for hearts.

 

[randomhero]

Not a bad result for them, they'll fancy their chances at tynecastle

 

[Ta Phyra Loyal]

If hearts make the group stages they are going to get pumped stupid every game. Maybe in the conference they might go on a run.

 

[HawfHeedHartson]

Good result that for Hearts they should be able to turn that around.

 

[JamboReid1874]

@JamboReid1874 good luck over the two legs mate.

Cheers mate.

Well, that ended with a better result than I was expecting start of the second half. Really just not good enough tonight. Slow, off the pace and powderpuff.

We won’t have many better opportunities to overturn a 1 goal deficit at home in Europe so we just have to go for it next week.

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Same here a lot of our players are not up to speed yet and can perform better.

 

[bluenosebazza]

Christ, are our match threads that bad that people cant grasp what a joke is now?

In fact, i know the answer to that one.

 

[Tubby_Tarzan91]

No way Hearts turn this around. They are rotten.

 

[JamboReid1874]

We would get humiliated in the EL proper. Dundee Utd style hammerings potentially. I still want us to qualify though.

 

[Hurricane Run]

Decent result. All to play for. Should be a good return leg. Hopefully Hearts can do it. At least the threat of another embarassment is likely over

 

[Gramps1]

Not the worst result in isolation.

Hope I’m wrong but can see them resting players against the scum at the weekend now it’s still all to play for.

Go start a thread about re-signing him then?

 

[JMCK]

Not a great game, and if I'm honest I don't think Hearts are a good side; they were far from impressive in the SC Final, and they offered very little when they had the ball here as well.

 

[Puggy]

Maybe they look on here and see what people write on here.

Do yourself a favour and stop nosing other teams forums. What do you expect themto say? how much they love us. I thought that was the tims thing, wanting loved.

If they look on here they’ll see most on here wanting them to win, Totally different to their forum, They despise us.

Who says any where that we’re looking to be loved ?

I want them pumped, They got beat 2-1 that’ll do for me, Happy days.

With a bit more ambition going forward i think youd have taken something from tonight.

You defence was an absolute shambles but theirs wasnt much better, they just werent tested enough.

 

[bilkobear]

I saw the second half.
Hearts were decent and Zurich weren't that impressive.
Hearts can do this.

 

[Puggy]

A run of defeats more likely, There will be some very good teams in the conference who will stamp them into the ground.

 

[WAAP]

Go start a thread about re-signing him then?

He won’t, because both Wright and Hairdresser McKay are not good enough for our team.

 

[sw26]

Michael Stewart confident they will go through.

Best of luck in the Conference League Hearts.

 

[Bud Johnston1972]

At least Hearts didn’t embarrass themselves like that horrible lady's front bottom of a club and supporters up in the drug capital of Europe! Conference League football for them up until Christmas and we will have our bigger TV money share should the worst happen and we drop into EL next week.

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

Tynecastle bouncing and a good, fast start and it's game on imo. European away games are tough and a single goal deficit is not bad.

 

[The Predator]

Still fancy Zurich to put them out tbh.

I don't see them not scoring next week. They cut Hearts open a good few times and just didn't take advantage of it. If Zurich score 1st next week Hearts won't progress.

 

[YorkshireBlue]

Good result for Hearts getting the away goal to take back to Tynecastle.

No. Kent is streets ahead of both of them. Stats can only tell us so much.

There isn't much between Wright and McKay either way.

 

[sw26]

Good result for Hearts getting the away goal to take back to Tynecastle.

 

[Noddy]

Away goals don't count anymore.

 

[JMCK]

If Hearts were to win this tie, perhaps they could get a couple of loans that would strengthen their side. As it stands, they look poor in terms of end product.

I've seen hearts getting slated on here many times. It doesn't bother me one way or the other, as that's football rivalry for you.

As the song says, no one likes us, we don't care. As it should be.

 

[brain]

Great draw Hearts got In this round. Zurich are bottom of their league after 5 games with no wins and a GD of minus 9. Still beat the 3rd best team in Scotland of course, but Hearts are in with a chance.

 

[dcbear]

If we're not having a thread for the other European games, West Ham just gone 1-0 up against Viborg in a half-empty stadium.

I’m not offended by their opinions, I’ve just taken a real dislike to them and their new age fans since 2012.

I used to have a soft spot for them and I’ve drank with many of their older fans who will now be in their 50s and 60s that were/still are staunch.

They’re a dying breed now unfortunately. I want every Scottish club humped in Europe barring us.

 

[si72]

Finish the job Zurich.

 

[Noddy]

They could win 10 nil to ight and they will still do phuck all on Sunday

Meaning what?

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

Meaning what?

That they could have all the confidence in the world and they'll still put in a pathetic performance on Sunday

 

[irvine96]

Want them humped tonight by 4 or 5 goals - then win the return game 1-0 at Tynecastle purely for coefficient purposes

Mmmmm.they still wouldn't go through

 

[Noddy]

That they could have all the confidence in the world and they'll still put in a pathetic performance on Sunday

The same pathetic performances as last season when they beat Celtic at Tynecastle, missed a penalty to get a draw in the other home game and were cheated out of a point at Parkheid thanks to some diabolical decisions from the officials?

So one win? You've convinced me

 

[Noddy]

So one win? You've convinced me

How many times did we beat them last season? And you are aware (you're probably not to be honest) that Celtic have far better players and a much bigger budget than Hearts?

 

[Macky]

Of all the teams in the league Hearts and Livingstone certainly can’t be accused of not trying against them.
