Official TC Celtic v Hearts Match Thread

Dont see how Hinkel was disappointing

Dont think the guy put a foot wrong

 

* tactics again what you on about 2-0 up away to Hearts after 20 mins game over played the next 70 minutes on auto pilot could have went up a couple of gears if needed.Overall another good display and our first clean sheet away from home since the day we won the league a Dundee United.

 

I agree with Rossenspeil great performance from Hinkel, and how can you say McCourt was disappointing he was on the pitch for about 3 minutes?

 

Yeh I agree, think Hinkel gets an unfair rap at times, thought he was really good today, got up and down well

 

Hinkel had a few nice touches but there were times when he sent the ball out, or didn't reach the ball in time. I dunno.
And McCourt in that 3 minutes was just chasing the ball like a headless chicken and didn't touch it once.

 

Think its fair to say we've all gave him a bit of abuse, sometimes rightly so, but he was brilliant today for me.

 

Yeh I think he deserved it after the D.Utd game where we drew 1-1 but there's been other games where he's got stick when I've thought he's played well. To an extent I think he's getting the G.Caldwell treatment

 

Thought Wilson was magnificent as well.

Our full backs have been slaughtered on here in the past so credit when its due.

Hope they carry it into wednesday

 

Boruc - 6
Hinkel - 7
Wilson - 6
Caldwell - 8
McManus - 8
Hartley - 6
Robson - 7
Brown - 7
McDonald - 8
Sheridan - 5
Maloney - 7


I'd give MOTM to McDonald just ahead of our CDs.

 

When our full backs play well Celtic play well, Wilson and Hinkel were very good today.

 

Id play Wilson & Hinkle against Man Utd

 

Not seen it yet guys ive been at work, but i heard Maloneys goal was a cracker. How did we play ?

 

Maloney goal wos a cracker. Good game and 3 points

 

absolutely love beating hearts

 

I am a bit torn by todays game. I absolutely love beating hearts, having had to live 5 mins away from tynecastle. BUT, it wasn't as good a game as we usually play against them. On the upside we never really played above the level of a training session and still thoroughly trounced those *. Thank you Celtic for an excellent way to end the weekend. hail hail

 

Hate to pick out negatives from a win when I'm usually picking positives out of a lose but........

We didn't create too many chances today and felt we got a bit of luck with the goals. Obviously delighted with the result and that...

Everyone played superb apart from Sheridan. Don't wanna slag him off too much because he is only young but I reckon he may need a bit of time in the reserves yet. Great to see him get 90 minutes or so under the belt though.

Perhaps Naka would have been a better option in behind McDonald although I'm sure Strachan would have done this were it not for ManU midweek..

 

Result is king, this could have been a tricky fixture for us but we killed the game in 20 mins. Maybe it would have been a better game if it had gone 45 mins before we scored because i kinda think Hearts gave up a bit after the second went in.

I agree with everyone about the fullbacks - they were surprisingly good. I think Hinkle will eventually come good, he has the pedigree and it's time he showed it.

I think starting with only one of our creative mids playing stifled the play a bit. Too often the ball was slotted along the midfield and then back again without making any progress.

2-0 at Tynecastle, i'll take it! Well played bhoys, on to the next game.

 

Guys do we shout "Brooney brooney brooney" for brown ? think thats what im hearing.

 

We had our top brains working on it for months.

 

Im sure I heard "Scott Browns Gonna Get Ya" in pre-season
