    Was it depressing?

    Absolutely not.

    Anyone else think that our movement up front is shocking? Like for example when Bitton has the ball about 25 yards out from the opposition goal and he's looking for a pass, everyone is just standing still, so the ball ends up out to the wings to Forrest or Armstrong, so predictable

    agree. Rogic should def be top pick for that, he's done well any game he's played in recently; especially tonight. Game changer. Brilliant on the ball.

    To cut Johanson a little slack tonight he was playing as our deepest lying midfielder, it was him coming back for the ball

    The general play was. We aren't fun to watch just now.

    Rogic and Griffiths for 20 minutes or so weren't though.

    Thought Armstrong started well but then as the game went on he faded, but he always showed up for the ball unlike some.

    That is one of the flattest games I've ever seen us involved in at Tynecastle. Very little atmosphere in the stands and not much action on the pitch. It was a deserved win though.

    Leigh Griffiths was MOTM.

    Need to change the formation I feel to get the best out of both Commons and Johansen. I believe Armstrong would also play better playing a more central role.

    Agree'd he was solid, the front 3 gave him and Bitton so little to work with in the first half tonight. Absolutely zero movement at times.

    Nah, Commons and Griffiths were available throughout much of the match. We tend to play it safe rather than move the ball forward quickly.

    Only part I don't agree with is 'borderline'.

    Aye, he does offer a good out ball I like him a lot. Him missing that sitter is probably clouding my judgement haha.

    We've bossed this fixture for some time now, especially at Tynecastle. Can remember going there a few years ago and it being a real possibility we'd be bullied and beaten

    Can i just clarify here, I'm not depressed with the result. I'm depressed with the manner we lose goals, time and time again.

    If we aren't getting it right in this game then I fear for the Molde home game.

    We are makiing the same basic defensive mistakes over, and over, and over again.

    Never mind the goal there was at least twice they played a long ball over the top into out FB channels and we were * scrambling.

    That has got to * stop, not every team we come up against will be as toothless as Hearts.

    Played well tonight but I don't agree he's good enough for Celtic. For such a key position we need a better quality of player.

    For me, he'll maybe come on and do a shift in a game like tonight against a poor side that's sitting in or he'll play well against the bottom 6 clubs. He'll be anonymous against a good side though.

    You don't have fun watching us beat teams 5 nil?

    Brown would have been our most important player tonight, we adapted well enough to win in his absence.

    Calling tonight depressing is terrible hyperbole.
