Aberdeen V Hearts


Recommended Posts


Can see this being quite a turgid and attritional affair. Hearts not the best to watch but they have improved under Potter and are defensively very sound with 5 clean sheets in a row now. Berra and Souttar are a good CH pairing and the keeper seems pretty decent. They’re on a decent unbeaten run (8) though virtually all of those games have been at home.

 

1-0.

Or we could just focus on playing lads who are actually good at fitba and want to play fitba instead of limiting ourselves by changing our style and setup in matches against notably inferior opposition?

 

How does changing our style and attitude work out against Celtic and Sevco?

 

It didn't.

 

Fuck Levein and fuck Hearts. We will beat them with fitba.

 

This is where dad backs me up and dunts his inspirational drumkit.

True, apart from the game at tynecastle a couple of seasons ago when Badwillie and Mcginn ran amock in the 1st half to lead 0-3 it's been grim viewing.

 

Man we could barely touch them after that. Got bullied every game and it got to the point where it looked like we had no clue how to play them.

 

This Hearts team are pish but we all know what they're like. They'll kick and scrap their way to a point.

We’re unbeaten in 5 games against Hearts (3 wins and 2 draws) and they’ve only scored one goal in those 5 games. To be fair they should have beaten us at Murrayfield last time out though. Apart from the first half an hour we were garbage that day.

 

They’re a tougher proposition now under Levein and are now back to the more direct and physical style we’ve come to expect from them over the years. Berra marshalls them very well at the back. It certainly won’t be a pretty spectacle it rarely is against them. If Considine and Stewart are ruled out I’d imagine McInnes will line the team up as below. Though I wouldn’t be against putting Frank Ross in there and see how he fares against Cochrane. But I doubt McInnes will do that.

Shinnie needs to have a game like he did against Hibs or we'll get bullied by Hearts once again. Need a decent performance from the wide players too which I assume will be GMS and Stewart. Going to be a tough game but hopefully we have the quality to edge the game. Interesting that we have more points at this stage than last season despite only hitting the heights twice so far and rarely looking comfortable in most games.
