It's got to be said, Braga's 1v1 with Chukwani in the box but you've got to say it's really good defending by the midfielder just to shield him out, win the ball back and leave a bit of pressure for Rangers but it's been a breathless start.
Listen, I think he is the best in the league at it.
Statistically, it tells you that and your eye test kind of tells you that as well.
So, listen, I don't think there's any doubt it's a blow.
But what I will say is I do think the two replacements are very, very capable replacements.
I think Mark Leonard's done excellent since he's came in in January.
Benny Beningamy, someone I've played with as well, that can do that job.
Maybe not to the same effect as Cammy Devlin off the ball, but in possession shows a lot of composure as well, which I do think that this game is going to need.
It would take a brave man to bet against a goal for a set piece today.
That's for sure.
The two strongest teams for set plays by a country mile this season.
You can see there's a lot of height, there's a lot of athleticism, big powerful boys in that team.
You've got to see, I do think Hearts have settled slightly.
They're better in the game but no chances as of yet.
Kiziridis over on the right hand side that's what surprised me that's why I was trying to get my bearings he does brilliantly Andy because it's maybe not the bit that he's famed for going back the way he did excellent the only thing I must say that I'm surprised about is that Kiziridis is on the right hand side so he's on the right hand side up against Dujan Sterling and I don't think we see many of Dujan Sterling taking on Kiziridis in this game which is what we've just seen there Dujan Sterling trying to drag on he's
unfavoured left side but it's good defending by Kiziridis I did think you're looking at individual battles within the game and I thought that James Tavenier Kiziridis on the left hand side for Hearts I think could have been a really key battle for them but it's interesting to see that he's playing on the right side early in the game
Yeah, and to be honest, I think it probably suits both teams.
I don't really think they are a mother well type like you described in the game last week.
And I think, especially so early in the game, it's one where...
you talk about playing sort of a territory more than anything and trying to force the opposition into mistakes and I think that's what they're doing at this moment in time and I don't even think there's been four passes strung together to be honest with you but you do expect the game to settle down at one point and whoever settles down and starts to play the best then
