topcat(The most tip top) Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 Just back in from the game and I've read the thread Thank you all for your contributions My observations follow The first 8 minutes: I was thinking "This looks like being a proper contest, we might well get something out of it" The following 46 minutes. We did to celtic what teams kept doing to us last season. Organised Defensively, shut everything down, left Celtic passing along the back, and taking speculative shots from range, Celtic had most of the possession and most of the chances but when we broke the few chances we did have looked more dangerous. Like Hearts last season it was going to take something special from an individual to make the break through dam and it eventually came. Rest of the match Hearts were a bit slow at first to adapt to the change from defending a lead to trying to gain one while obviously Celtic were continuing in the same mode and the next few minutes were Celtic's best at that point I'd have bitten your hand off for a draw but soon we'd clawed our way back into contention. Ginnelly and GMS had run their socks off and replacing them injected fresh pace and Haring meant that we were competing in midfield again and ultimately Gnanduilet was the other aerial threat that took focus of John Souttar at the end Beni Baningime just makes everything better and his work rate and commitment were immense, which are the two things the Hearts support value most. and he injects youthful energy into what was one of the oldest Hearts squads in years. I predict that most Hearts Supporters will have learnt to pronounce his name perfectly by September. His announcement as man of the match was greeted with universal murmurings of approval from around where I was sitting although that was before Craig Gordon's two big saves in time added on which meant that there was a valid question to be asked . Had Celtic snatched a point at the end there it would be hard to portray that as a hard luck story but given the we lost a cup final to them on penalties they can hardly begrudge fortune smiling on Gorgie tonight In conclusion Not every game this season is going to work out that well and it's daft to read to much into one result but I think it's safe to say We're back baby... We're back 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs have been a lower league club for half of the last six seasons. Haha! Nearly. I forgot what year it is. 3 out of 7.

Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I thought we were worth the win overall, having the best of the chances and with a few excellent performances. It will be sad to lose Beni, but the 25m will help us build for the future 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 Further observations If Hearts fans are overrating Souttar on insufficient evidence then it would be difficult to fault us for it From our point of view the fact that his comeback meant that we didn't have to play Berra or Popescu made a massive, massive difference. Ralston's is the first goal we've conceded with him in the team since he came back Having Souttar in place meant that we had the kind of defence where shutting up shop and sitting on a lead against the team who finished 2nd last season for 82 minutes was a serious option. That said he's played 8 top flight games in 28 months so anybody saying he's definitely good enough or definitely not good enough for Scotland need to at least question their sense of certainty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He, Baningime and Gordon made the difference tonight. Speaking as a neutral, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes a little sloppy on the ball but absolutely everywhere and really intelligent with his body positioning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
