For anyone who watched the Hearts game how did they play ?

They have been playing pretty well at Tynecastle since Critchley came in, in the league games anyway.

I don't think any team in the world gets the better of Liverpool when they're at their best. Absolutely sublime.

Especially when you defend (or don’t) the way Spurs do. So open and so little interest in defending. Perfect opponent for Liverpool.

[PHeffernan]

Best and most energetic Hearts have played in their last 4 games but still ran out of fuel after an hour.
Have watched those 4 matches. They look tired and the derby will be their 6th game in 19 days which is a punishing schedule for a small club.
In those 4 games Penrice, Devlin and Gordon have IMO been Hearts best players with Spittal their most dangerous.

Baningime and Halkett were missing again today so have to be doubts for Thursday.
Even if Halkett plays he looks slow and would be fair game for Youan or Boyle on the ground.
As for Baningime, good player but hasn't played since the 1st December due to another knee injury and my gut feeling is the game will come too early for him.
Up front for them Shankland did the square root of **** all today with young Wilson more of a threat all game.

Hibs have to be favourites and our best performance of the season yesterday has enhanced that belief in me.
Their crowd will demand effort on Boxing Day but if the game is level after 70 minutes their players tired bodies and minds could kick in and see Hibs take over.
Could end a draw with them hanging on but i'm hopeful we push for and get a win.

The bottom 2 now, will go down.

We're naff and so are they but neither are that bad, and both will bring players in during January.

It's easy to say that. But I reckon when Liverpool play this way, they make any team look like a joke.

[J-C]

Spurs defence isn't great but the movement of Liverpool would test any team in the world, Spurs have been poor today and have games like this in the locker, they play far too open at times.

[babahibs]

Liverpool are looking pretty special this season. more trophies heading to Anfield I reckon.

Hearts are favourites to beat hibs at tynecastle . And quite rightly so our derby record there is quite simply pathetic

[jeffers]

Thanks for info re Hearts. Disappointed to hear that they were quite decent. Not that it would have the slightest bearing on the derby however they’d played today.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Spurs no longer ended as a club.

[J-C]

Spurs get a goal back, cracking goal.

Our odds of winning there shouldn't be based on historical factors. Different team, different manager, different staff, different tactics, different form, different way of approaching the game.... etc. The past should have no baring on the game.

I'm quite happy for them to be considered favourites. But if we do what we have been doing the past several games. We'll be ruthless enough to beat them.

Our overall derby record, home and away, is pathetic. But at least we go into this one with a spring in our step.

A win would be terrific but as always with derbies the main thing is not to lose.

[Irish_Steve]

Bonkers game

[J-C]

And another 3-5 now, another good goal too.

[Aldo]

3-6 Liverpool

[J-C]

3-6 Liverpool, Diaz

[hibsbollah]

Poetry from Diaz. 6-3, incredible.

I'm expecting a player to shout "any man in" lol

A factor in the minds of weary supporters but in reality irrelevant to the players and Thursday's game.
Hearts advantage is playing at home and that they will start with the same number of players.
However, those players will have played 50% more games in 19 days than Hibs players and they have visibly tired.
IMO that is a more significant factor than home advantage.
As ever time will tell.

Probably the fact it is at tiny swings it in their favour too , wasn’t overly impressed with them today even with St Johnstone being awful . Thought they have been really poor in their last couple of games too.

Here's hoping we beat them on Thursday
