There's nothin' you can know that isn't known
Nothin' you can see that isn't shown
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy
All you need is love

Very poor is maybe over harsh shammy but given what weve seen so far these 4 games it is the worst half weve had I'll give you that, but hearts deserve credit for that as well.
We seemed like " wtf ? This teams attacking us " at times.
Its perhaps ultimately no bad thing as ross county aside weve blasted the rest aside, so a game like this is going to keep us on our toes.
Mooy still looks like hes not adjusted yet , not overly surprising given hes only arrived but his passing at times, I was wondering who and where he was trying to pass to.
I'll never complain about beating hearts though especially when it puts us 2 pts clear at the top.
Job done if not by our normal standards, regroup, review and we go again HH
Tactically the minis got thing's spot on against us in the 2nd half especially and we have to come to expect that also as we never change our shape as such and only use subs mainly as a like for like.
Used there full backs to get far closer to our wide men, made them less effective in the 2nd half and the 3CB allowed very little room for our striker to work in, and closing down our midfield on a man on man basis gave them far less control of the game 2nd half imo.
Still had enough quality about us to have dealt with it and create enough to have won far more comfortably than we did in the end.
Would be interesting to see if they opted for a similar approach against the scum as What I saw today they have nothing to fear against the scum and actually looked a better football team imo and well organised also

The most important thing today was to get the 3 points.....we did that.....this Hearts team are no mugs.....they are not anywhere near our level, but they make themselves hard to beat.....I wonder how many folk thought about the fact.....that if they had managed to somehow win today they would have gone top of the league.....without being right on our game we got the points.....the big plus is we know how to win...

It's where we still remain at not being clinical enough in the final third Lennono at times and our conversion rate at finishing off big chances can be very hit and miss at times also.
In these tighter games this hopefully will improve to make games like today far easier for ourselves imo

Can't win every game 5-0 , i'm very happy , 2 points clear , another clean sheet and the two best strikers in the country get on the score sheet again
no daughter I'm afraid ,Sad to say my son married into a whole family of mini's ,nice people and it makes for Good banter , as a joke every Christmas I give my grand daughter a Celtic scarf and send sons inlaw's a Celtic Christmas card
Have to give Hearts a bit of credit, made it difficult for us the whole game and were the better side in the second half. I would expect a similar sort of game against The Rangers, better performance than what we saw in the second half today will be needed, not bad getting a wake up call.

Been on the Dark Side furra wee peek and this is gonna surprise nobody.
It's the referees fault cause they are all TIMS. The SFA are against them and the SNP are involved as well. That Deludamol must be powerful stuff.
Possibly one of our poorest displays so far in the 2nd half also thought at times we were too pedestrian in our movement and too predictable, midfield seemed to lose its way and allowed Hearts a way in to the game you could seen
From the start they were there to sit in and hoof the ball up the park for their forwards to try for free kicks along with the time wasting from the start of the game. Once again we have a set of linesman who stick up their flag for an offside against us yet can't put it up for Boyce coming from an offside position (when the keeper kicks it upfield)to challenge our centre back for the ball. The 3 points arrest we wanted and got but some things highlighted to work on in the game. In another note took me over an hour to get home from the game the traffic was so bad on a journey that normally takes 20 mins

Easy win. Never got out of 2nd gear and still they had no attempts on target. 3 or 4 would have been a fairer reflection on scoreline.
The sending offs give the greetin faced hun in their dugout something to moan about rather than accept his team are crap.
We lost what little momentum we had when Maeda and O'Riley went off but good to give some a run out from the bench, they will all be needed in the coming months.

I'm not too troubled by our sometimes laboured performance today; we've all seen our share of this type of game too often to be surprised. Would've settled for it before a ball was kicked. Target was three points. Target achieved.
A couple of things stood our for me though; if our fullbacks have an off day, then the system loses a fair bit of potency. I thought both were below par. Also, once again, we simply don't turn our domination into goals. That's not a complaint really; it can, and I'm sure will, be sorted.
Hearts played like, well, Hearts. I didn't feel that much bothered defensively. ( Take a bow JK ? )
Probably easiest to say, all's well that ends well. A lovely weekend !
