00:00We're going to dive into the heart's depth chart.
00:02Quite a simple concept, really.
00:04We're going to go through each position using the club's
00:07listed senior squad as our guide,
00:09trying to figure out the top man in each position currently.
00:13To begin with, Barry, I suppose, before we go any further,
00:16one of the biggest talking points in terms of this
00:19might be which formation Steven Naismith actually
00:22wants to line up with, because it's not just
00:26changing game to game, it's changing during games
00:28more often than not.
00:30Yeah, it has done.
00:33I think Steven Naismith tends to prefer a back four
00:37just ordinarily, but it has achieved some decent results
00:41with Hearts playing a back three.
00:42Most notably, last season at Celtic Park,
00:45they won at Celtic Park for the first time in years,
00:47they played a back three that day.
00:49So it wouldn't surprise me to see them line up that way
00:53this weekend, as much as they have looked better
00:56and just more solid and comfortable this season
00:58when they've played a back four.
00:59The back three did work at Celtic Park last year,
01:01and I think that will be in Steven Naismith's mind.
01:04Ordinarily, I think you have to go with a four.
01:07I certainly think that's what Hearts are better suited to.
