Wouter Vrancken doesn't believe Hearts were too open in their 7-1 loss to Celtic.
🗣️ "When you want to put pressure on the opposition, there will be moments when you're open... When you're not aggressive enough and you lose the ball or give it away too easily, it becomes difficult."

An embarrassing afternoon for Hearts at Celtic Park.
A collective disaster as Celtic were given a massive helping hand. A mixture of giving the ball away easily and offering no resistance out of possession.
A hard, hard watch.
heartsstandard.co.uk/news/26…
Wow. And not a good wow.
Not often you have 56 per cent possession with large spells of control at Celtic Park. But matters for nothing when you create little and defend like… that.
A disastrous 45 minutes at Celtic Park
▪️ Masters of their own downfall
▪️ Passive and lazy defending
▪️ Bright spells but all for nothing
@sked21's first-half thoughts.
heartsstandard.co.uk/news/26…
Like the look of the Hearts XI
Sabri and McPake could have really big roles. The former provides another body in the middle and the ability to make positive final third passes.
McPake up against a weaker right side if the Celtic defence.
▪️ Big role for Guendouz
▪️ Disruption minimised
▪️ Slight surprise with McEntee
▪️ McPake primed for big game
@sked21's thoughts on the Hearts starting XI
heartsstandard.co.uk/news/26…
Wouter Vrancken is expected to make changes to the Hearts starting XI v Celtic.
I reckon there will be between three and five. Changes at full-back and Magnusson for Mendy. And possibly two in attack with Guendouz and, maybe, Mato...

The Copa90 documentary experience ahead of Heart of Midlothian’s return to Celtic Park.
Watched it last night. While it was brutal, the knowing what was coming, there was more to it than reliving the despair.
heartsstandard.co.uk/news/26…
Wouter Vrancken is set to make changes for Hearts' trip to face Celtic.
He also spoke about 'positive energy' and what he wants from his players heading to Celtic Park
heartsstandard.co.uk/news/26…
Rewatched the game from last night and looked at:
▪️ Quality of the performance
▪️ Defensive improvement (McCart excellent)
▪️ Mendy influence
▪️ Subs questions
▪️ Why Williams didn't do enough
In short, a lot to be positive about, but need to be more clinical

Some positive injury news for Hearts. Craig Halkett is continuing to make progress in his return from an Achilles injury.
He provided an update on where he is in his recovery

🎙️ A missed opportunity? 🎙️
@sked21 & @craigcairns001 react to Heart of Midlothian's 1-1 draw with Nordsjaelland to start the Conference League.
📺 youtube.com/watch?v=ugtguPhy…
Wouter Vrancken revealed he wanted more from subs, including JJ Williams, and gave a positive Hearts assessment.
🗣️ "I expect a bit more from subs when they come on also, to give the energy, to hold the ball or to hold off the pressure
heartsstandard.co.uk/news/26…
Not an ideal start to the Conference League for Hearts. An ultimately frustrating and disappointing evening with a win so close.
Missed chances and then dropped deeper and deeper and deeper.
A few positive performances but overall frustrating not to win.

🤔 Midfield balance
🤔 Borchgrevink in for defensive solidity
🤔 Interesting sub inclusions
@sked21's thoughts on the Hearts XI to face Nordsjaelland.
We will have live coverage throughout from Tynecastle Park.
heartsstandard.co.uk/news/26…
This suggestion from @craigcairns001 won't be fair away.
Wouldn't be surprised if Kingsley was to start, but I'm predicting one difference from below.
What will the Hearts XI be v Nordsjaelland?
@craigcairns001 predicts 1️⃣ change to tonight's Hearts team: Oisin McEntee replacing Ageu in midfield.
It is an enforced change from the 5-0 win over St Mirren at the weekend.
Do you agree?

Joel Sked retweeted
▪️Does Fagan-Walcott keep his place?
▪️Who replaces Ageu?
▪️Same front four?
@craigcairns001 gives his predicted XI ahead of Hearts' first league phase match in the Conference League🔢

Hearts begin their league phase campaign tomorrow in the Conference League as they look to make a bit of history.
They have made a "massive step" since their European campaign started in July.
The view from the Hearts camp, with strategy and ambition revealed.
