Gianfranco Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 We’ve got two good forwards and we need to start playing them both through the middle. 352 please! KellySol Ojala LamieMugabi Slattery Maguire O’Hara CarrollWatt KVV Hearts will rightly start as favourites but I’ve got a sneaky feeling we might get something from this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I Think 352 is the dream the day we start playing a form of fitba. we've a formula right now and I don't see us breaking it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Really looking forward to this. Big Hearts crowd going through as well, which usually ends in abject disappointment. You'd think we'd keep the exact same team as the United game, but I can't see Boyce not starting if fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Pretty much every match we have won this season has basically taken the form of the opposition dominating possession and squandering chances, before we eventually take 50% of the chances we make or in the the case of the last game v Aberdeen 100% ! That works when you are playing teams in the bottom half. When teams like Hearts who create even more chances and actually have players who can make them count we are usually found wanting. Going along in hospitality this weekend which means I will hopefully be well oiled by the time KO arrives. Hopeful we can upset the odds but my head tells me Hearts will win by a couple of goals. Last time I thought like that was Hibs at home in the 1st game of the season. Although we lost it was still the best performance of this season imho. Another like that would be most welcome and maybe just maybe we can get a positive result . Edited November 18, 2021 by welldaft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Aye, if we've not deviated from 4-3-3 yet, we're certainly not going to do it on the back of a 2-0 win away at Aberdeen. Part of me thinks we'll get something from this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 We must have a pretty decent home record against Hearts over the last decade or so tbf. I'm maybe exaggerating, but it feels like Hearts historically must have one of the biggest disparities in home/away form in world football. Though Neilson seems to have sorted that this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Hearts a bit like Aberdeen for me - I never expect us to beat them but every now and then we get a result against them (especially at Fir Park).I think this will be a tight game. I'll go for 2-1 Motherwell but reserve the right to change this to 3-1 Hearts once I see we've lined up 4-3-3 with McGinley at left back and SOD (Motherwell version, not Scotland version) back in the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 It wouldn't surprise me if O'Donnell has a slight knock (code for absolutely knackered and fair play to him for it). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our away form is usually terrible. I think Neilson, over both spells, has got a far higher win percentage away from home than any manager in the last decade or 2. Fir Park is one of those grounds that I'm always sceptical about going to, but I have seen us win our last 2 there, so sheepishly confident for once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the last Motherwell v Hearts game at Fir Park the one where Chrissy Long scored the winner in December 2019? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but thankfully I missed that one! Last trip through there was the Friday night League Cup game and before that was the 1-0 win at the start of the 18/19 season, so 2 in a row for me personally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Reese Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Hoping we start with the same players and formation as we did v Dundee United. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest superward Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Agree with some above, can't see us starting 3-5-2. Mugabi as a wing back makes me shudder (right back is fine). We have moved to it mid game though a number of times so outside chance I guess. I'd be happy to start the way we set up and beat Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see us selling many more so there will be a few hundred empty seats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
