[Matchday] Celtic v Hearts (Sunday - 25/08/19 - 15:00 GMT)

Ajer did alright at right back weirdly enough.

 

I thought Hearts were hoaching today, Leveins tactics were terrible. The diagonal switch was always on because of how narrow they tried to play.

Christie was unreal, he was everywhere and his energy is unmatched. I really think Rogic is gona have a tough time getting in because for me Christie offers so much more. I felt that he should have been taken off and rested at 3-0 and Shved given a chance.
Ntcham really good in spells also.

Bayo is a real threat from crosses, he attacks everything. He gives us a different option to Edouard and Griffiths. It was refreshing to see us play this way because we havnt had that aerial threat for quite a while.

On a side note, iv seen Hickey play a few times now and i think for a 16/17 year old, that he has a brilliant attitude and work rate. He is half the height and stature of most of, if not all of the players on the pitch but he has some heart and battle. To be playing at that level and at that age is remarkable. His ability will take him far but his attitude will take him further.

 

How * twisted do you need to be to think that scoring 2 OGs is somehow better?

 

Seriously twisted.

 

Let's put Brooney's recent penalty concessions into perspective here.

The handball against Cluj was a reactive brain-fart. It happens from time to time... and it's happened to the best of them!

The one today? A tangle of legs. No big * deal.

He's still a big BIG player for us, but he does need to be used wisely as he's no spring chicken.

 

Give them it tight when we are rubbish so praise well deserved today. Hearts were poor but we were clinical and looked great middle to front again. Great having 3 firing strikers, all offer something different. 2 good full backs in and maybe a CD/CDM and we are looking good

 

Hearts are brutal. Or more to the point Levein is brutal. Straight from kick off they booted the ball onto touch. Unbelievable tactics.
Their players must be thinking what an absoloute fud he is.
Thought thr boy Whelan (no 12?) looked very decent. Composed in possession.
Ajer had more space today than he'll probably have all season. Brown was a bit off the pace.
Great victory though.

 

Levein is such a * awful manager. I don’t know why but it’s kind of annoying that someone can be that bad and still be in a job can only imagine how hearts fans feel. The only thing they brought today was 3 pathetic attempts at training ground set pieces that were all terrible executed

 

Did'nt get to see much today ( killjoys cutting the streams ) so looking forward to sportscene .










PS , if theres a full game link cutting about later that would be appreciated .

 

Hope we get 2 own goals every week.

 

Been said in the Rogic thread, we have to stop thinking either or, when we have quality players competing for similar positions, like Ryan turning into a force of nature, it should be something we look forward to and not something we regard as a problem.

If we have a more flexible approach we can do so much more damage. Like Bayo, is anyone even contemplating Eddy and Griff need to be dropped completely? I know that's an extreme example but it's amazing thinking about what we can do with our three incredible strikers. So it's the same for our midfielders.

 

Who the * r hearts anyway

 

A team from Edinburgh mate

 

I don't think he has the legs for both and if AIK is a demanding game then definitely no. I'd have him on the bench for Thursday instead, keep him fresh for the huns.

 

Can't rest Broony with a 2 goal lead, if we go ahead the away goal should allow Lenny to rest him. I'm still not sure he's costing us any games.

 

Great to see bayo, Edouard and Griffiths all contributing. The next 7 days will tell us a lot

Don't think Hearts offered up much today and we made it easy for them at times being tentative in the tackle Ajer put in another great performance but looked out of it near the end before he had to go off. Apart from scoring a greatgoal McGregor was quite big Julien has a couple of moments to forget and still looks a bit nervous Bitton never had !such to do although I am still wondering if that was an attempt on goal from his own half.Bayo ran himself into the ground underserved the 2 goals just for the pressure he put their defence under. 3 points in the bag and never got out of 2nd year not a bad days eork

 

A good point well made.
