David, why’s Igname not getting a run out in B team friendly today ? Take it he’s already injured as he should still be fit enough to play in this game.

Heart and Hand

We asked that at Presser Friday. He said: ''I have been really clear about that from the first second that he came in. This is a young boy with a lot of potential but who never trained at the level we are training now. I can make the fans really happy to put him directly in tomorrow and then he gets injured and they cannot enjoy him the next couple of months. That is not the idea. For the moment he is more in an individual programme to make him better and then to get him in the first team squad training and afterwards to get him playing minutes. There is a way to go with him. His mentality is great. For him it is like a new world is opening up and every day he is experiencing something new for himself. He is really hungry and ambitious to become better and we see a really good evolution in the short time he is here.''

Cheers for reply, still a bit mental we spent so much on this boy when we could be using it elsewhere in squad

John Smith

Anyone know what channel the games on tomorrow

Graeme McLeod

Still sounds like poor recruitment. We shouldn't have been prioritising a punt from Morocco for nearly £2 million. I get that you need to sign players for the future, but £2 million isn't a small amount for us at this stage.

The live show on Friday was the best at NEH so far. The standing room only ones were far too noisy, to the point you could barely hear the folk on stage at times depending on where you were standing. My dad likes attending the live shows and he's deaf in one ear - the seating situation made a big difference for him on Friday night.

John Smith

Cheers David. A bit odd none of the big channels seem to have picked it up

David Mackie

That is under normal circumstances a decent draw for us in the CL unfortunately these are not normal times and no matter how hard I try, I honestly can't make a case for us getting past Kiev unfortunately. Our squad is so depleted and week it's becoming embarrassing. None of this on the Manager but that board are a disgrace.

KennyY

What’s happened to Zack Lovelace. Surely he could be given an opportunity

Gareth Williams

Hi David, Is the manger going to be grilled on our style of play by fan media? Saw a tweet from Joshua Barrie saying Hearts xG was 1.33 to our xG of0.56 with 62% of the ball and we were too reliant on going direct. This is kind of echoed in the preview show with Iain mentioning he's unsure what style of football we're trying to play, shape, pattern of play etc. I thought we played long far too often to a striker who can't hold the ball up! Worrying times! Hope PC can change the seeds of doubt in him starting to appear within the support!

CRAIG CASSELLS

I genuinely don't know what Lovelace has done, besides a decent 30 minutes v St Mirren 10 months ago, that has so many within our support bringing up his name time and time again as a possible saviour. We need better, a lot better.

Graham Roy

Not sure it would make a massive difference if we keep playing the long ball from Saturday

CRAIG CASSELLS

Fingers crossed he lives up to expectation but he is undoubtedly a punt and unfortunately our experience with them in the last few years isn't very encouraging.

Craig McWhinnie

Hearts had a player signed in the morning come on yet we can’t play a player signed a couple of days ago? If Danilo isn’t fit enough to play 15 minutes then he shouldn’t be taking up a space on the bench

Paul Kerr

Makes no sense when we are crying out for options right now. If we had a big budget or a squad loaded with quality I'd get it. The way the lad's being described by the manager doesn't help. He's made him sound like we got him from Jossie's Giants. Seems a big risk when we were waiting for Goldson to go before spending £1.5m on Propper.

Heart and Hand

Truthfully though, no, he’s not going to be ‘grilled’ by anyone - at best we get one q at any presser, he will bat it away. Press Conferences are not interviews. There’s no back and forth so no ability to drill down into issues.

Heart and Hand

It’s exactly because people haven’t seen much of him he gets mentioned. It’s that unknown factor - ‘we know these guys aren’t good but he MIGHT be’.

Graham Roy

Doubt it’s as much as that the now probably worth £2 million with add ons etc… but we have been crying out for us to try and sign from unknown clubs and find a good player. Think we do need to be a little patient on this one at least give the guy a few weeks before deciding he’s a flop

Steven L

Great show on Friday but Bathgate is by far the best one yous have done. Loyalist West Lothian

Paul

Funny how Johnny McFarlane is now being encouraged to say it wasn't millions we spent on him. Something isn't right. No professional player gets isolated from a group to train because of the new "intensity"FFS. He can't run about with the ball? The club are at it with this one. Something isn't right.

Premier Sports now showing Kyiv match

JimGLW

Clement really is a guy getting the excuses in early now. We don't care is Kiev didn't have a game at the weekend. They did have an extra round to play that we didn't. Beale's snide pre season isn't one he can use any more I guess.

Colin Mathie

Clement does realize that by Oct, Nov, Dec time our title challenge might be dead and buried right? we need to get up to speed this month/Sept.

Graeme Homer

The live show was brilliant David, me and the missus really enjoyed it and the scarf I won is class thanks again.

Elaine Campbell

Ditto for my Dad too. Although there was still two guys in the row in front of us who had had too much of the old singing ginger and thought we were all there to hear them. One of the guys sitting next to them eventually told them to STFU, which appeared to work tho 😂😂

Scott Macrae

I see Hagi played a B team game today. I wonder if Clement could be asked directly about him. Clement has stated previously only Cantwell has asked to leave so would be interested to know his take on Hagi’s situation. Especially since his cryptic insta post.

Russ

He'd do himself a favour by sitting down with Barrie or H&H (Thornton?) and giving us insight into his gameplan. Not the minutie but enough detail for us to know what he's trying to implement and what we're looking for. If he says we want to bypass the midfield à la Klopp then let's try and perfect it. Maybe then we can give him leeway due to the quality on the pitch. Ten Hag started by playing out from the back but then got cold feet and went pragmatic - we need to know if Clement is being pragmatic or this system just isn't fine tuned atm.

Andrew Hillis

The manager loves a chat - we need to see some progress soon! Just watched the 8min long training video - FFS low intensity stretching - just stop making these please Rangers!

Billy Forrester

Lovelace looked good any time he has started then he got injured, he certainly looked the part so I’d be hopeful of him

Alan Hutchison

After all his talk Phil Clement manages to sign a player more injury prone than Kemar Roofe. Amazing.

Dougie McAllister

Why are we not getting Cantwell and Hagi out the door quickly and replacing them as quick as we did with Goldson replacement...

Heart and Hand

Cortes - 4-5 weeks out. Hagi to be sold. From tonight's presser.

Ricky

Great live show.

Graeme McLeod

Clement somehow got a 12 month extension after the collapse from March onwards. He knows he's going nowhere no matter how far ahead Celtic are by Christmas.

Spoon

Because nobody wants them at the fee we want or on the wage they are demanding currently, they are under contract.

Spoon

Danillo gets the same hype despite having a mixed start, lot of chat around how him coming back is the silver bullet. Let’s hope so but it’s not evidence based, not yet.
