    Think Bernardo is 100% starting against Bratislava, but It's not an easy enough tie to completely rotate everyone imo

    Hope Gordon picks the ball up so much he injures his back.

    Maybe we should have signed them weeks earlier and we wouldn’t have to drop the MOTM in the hun game prior to facilitate match fitness and a look at them in our team structure, is my entire point. I’m not digging at the manager…

    Strong team. I’d rather bernardo start usually but I think this game is a good time to rest him after being away with portugal and engels coming back early, then hopefully means bernardo starts against bratislava midweek

    Got that horribly wrong.

    Think it's a tad harsh on Bernardo after his last game. Hatate would be the one to drop and I like him too.

    Buzzing to see what Engels has about him. Must be doing plenty right in training to shunt Bernardo after last week. Although I’m sure Bernardo’s been told he’s been rested.

    Well I 100% agree with ya on that.. it is what it is now and I have confidence BR knows what he's at. Bernardo still a young lad that didn't have preseason with us and played away with Portugal during the week.. I'd expect him to start in the CL

    It is a bit harsh on Bernardo, who was fantastic in the first half against Sevco, but on the other hand I totally get why.

    Especially with the CL just around the corner, BR would want Engels to at least have made his first start under his belt rather than throwing right into the CL, especially if he is considering starting him against Bratislava through the week.

    Got to feel for Bernardo.

    Good chance to see Engels though.

    Would love the game to be wrapped up by 60 mins so we can see Valle as well.

    Happy with that team and as expected.

    Baningime starting for hearts is a bit of a surprise. Their defence looks ropey.

    Hopefully a couple of goals and a clean sheet.

    Engels from the start will be fascinating . Record signing we still no very little about as there are very limited clips of him online and a lot of contrasting opinions/reports on how/where he will play here . Looking forward to it .

    Still amazed people don't see how crucial Hatate is to this football team.

    Most weeks, first name down for me.
    I think he gets it tight after bad rumours last season. He was injured and even when playing early in the season was struggling. People turned on him thinking he wanted out, he signed a new deal.
    Think some have that belief he wants out so shouldn't play him, or something, attitude.

    But this week, I just think Bernardo deserves to keep his position and the one to make space out of McGregor and Hatate would be the later.

    He's as gifted a player as we have on his day but I thought he underperformed against sevco. If I were picking the team and wanted Engels in, it would absolutely have been Hatate missing out after the shift Bernardo put in.
