tarapoa Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hearts and particularly Levein's MO at Pittodrie over the years has been to $hitfest this fixture including instructing a collection of assassins to basically boot anything that moves. This requires being able to comfortably defend set-pieces and often sneaking a wee 1-0 win by taking a chance at the other end. Doubtless after the last results for both sides, he will try this again - but do they currently have the players to execute such tactics? As for AFC - hopefully still enough in the legs to ensure an energetic performance, and not a repeat of the St Johnstone $hitshow. Six goals in four games is a concern, with the Considine/McKenna pairing clearly a tad flawed, and Devlin confirmed out until January. Lowe is much better going forward than he is defensively. Prediction 2-1 Cosgrove, McGinn / MacLean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely, Lowe's best performances defensively seem to have come against decent quality opponents (Forrest, Boyle and Candeias come to mind). I'm now not so sure it's that he isn't able defensively, rather that his concentration is more likely to slip or he takes more risks against poorer teams and players.

NJ2 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Selection issues all over the shop for us. Doyle could finally play a game ahead of Zlamal - if he's no good, we end up alternating between two shaky 'keepers in the same way that we've been alternating between two left-backs - Mitchell has the edge, but not by a great deal, and we can't play a back three as we don't have enough centre-backs. Hughes is too far off the pace to partner Berra, and Haring is needed in midfield, so Mikey Smith has to play centre-half, which pretty much means Godinho at RB. Lee is slightly better than Bozanic, but are any of them currently better than Cochrane? Not really, imo. Djoum will be suspended, and it's a toss up between Morrison and Clare at the moment. Be great to have Naismith back on the pitch, if only to moan like f**k at c***s - we can't expect too much from him in his first game back, but he has to start - whether that's instead of MacLean or alongside him is another question. Doyle Godinho - Smith - Berra - Mitchell Haring Clare - Cochrane - Morrison Naismith Maclean Subs from: Zlamal, Garuccio, Hughes, Bozanic, Lee, Wighton, Mulraney, McDonald?I think Cochrane got injured playing for the reserves through the week? Probably see Lee in instead of him. Can’t see Naismith being ready for 90, so that probably means a start for Bozanic or Wighton as well. Personally, I was supposed to be going to this game but now I’m not so I’ll hear about our pumping at some point after the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFCDannyFTH Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Fingers crossed we set the team up to let them worry about us instead of the opposite. Has to be the same team as Tuesday, even if GMS is fit. Stick him on in the second half to run them ragged. Hopefully May gets the goal his efforts have deserved, Hearts' keeper is woeful. Second worst in the league after Jack Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I totally agree that it has to be the same starting eleven from Tuesday, with the only change on the bench McKay-Steven for Forrester, if he’s fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
