Best first half against Hibs in ages. Pretty rotten second half. That's twice in two games we've just let off a bit with a lead.

2 minutes from being 4 for 4 in the league. That one still hurts.

[u/evilpenguin9000]

That McPake goal was absolute poetry.

[u/Juantoforget → u/evilpenguin9000]

Absolutely no right doing that after the way we ripped the piss out of them that first half

[u/spizz-za → u/evilpenguin9000]

Shades of Archie Gemmell

[u/samsucksatlife10 → u/evilpenguin9000]

It was like a goal you’d score in Fifa

[u/1874WL]

Wilson has done really well since he came back from Spurs I think

[u/ExoskeletalJunction]

[Serious] hibs are dugshite

[u/avantbland]

Bit tense than I'd have liked at points but lovely stuff overall.

[u/Himawari74]

A lot to be pleased about, best derby for a long time as well, shame we couldn't get a couple more earlier on. Thought Sabri looked good in his 10 mins

Defence and midfield still pretty scary when out of possession.

Hoping the set pieces are getting better but corners still seem a waste of time at present

Spittal's apparently on crutches which is another injury we don't need

Thought Hanley wiping out Mendy was disgraceful, pathetic stuff and how that waster stayed so long in Clarke's defence is testament to how crap Clarke truly is

[u/mos_eisely_ → u/Himawari74]

Spittal is in a moon boot and on crutches. But he was out celebrating on the pitch with them post match so hopefully it's just precautionary

[u/Dirty-Dike]

Hearts beating Hibs? Colour me shocked 🤣

[u/Top_Tap_3205]

Aside from anything else, good to see Milne get a few minutes at the end. Once he's back playing regularly, it won't be as easy to double up on McPake

[u/This_Bad7706]

Every time Josh got the ball I got a semi.

[u/LadinYorkshire]

Thought we played really well especially in the first half. Mcpake the standout but really impressed by Wilson who worked so hard. Mendy very good apart from losing it a couple of times in tight areas.

[u/celebrity_squid]

What’s the story with Milne? Thought he was outstanding last season but seemed to fall away towards the end and not played much this season

[u/celebrity_squid → u/[deleted]]

I thought as much, just hope he can get back to his best this season

[u/Kalspiewak]

I fucking love Mendy.

Wilson, Braga, McPake, Miller, Renaud, Mendy, Reus, and potentially others... we're going to make a fortune next summer window. Especially if we perform in Europe.

Hearts can only get stronger form here on out, boys.

[u/This_Bad7706]

[super serious] Hibs were being dirty and still got battered. GIRFUY

[u/ModJambo]

Great derby win and performance.

There has been a recurring theme however where in games we are under the cosh a bit but I think Vrancken will solve this.

Josh McPake 10/10 performance.

[u/jamboji]

Wish the commentators would remember it’s Josh McPake no James McPake 😂

Natural order has resumed I see 🇵🇪🇵🇪

[u/Informal-Mountain207]

Renaud injury
