Hearts fans have mixed feelings over Robbie Neilson’s selection.

Armand Gnanduillet partners Liam Boyce in attack and Andy Irving is back with Steven Naismith and Gervane Kastaneer dropping out. Jamie Walker is on the bench.

@ThisMyStoryPod: “Not convinced this is a change of shape. I reckon McEneff or Halliday are playing wide with Boyce as the 10. For there to have been a change of shape it would be an acknowledgement of the 4231 not working or suiting our players. As much as I’d be buzzing if it was, I just can’t see it. I hope am wrong. Mon the Gorgie.”

@NJJarvie: “Really think McEneff could be unleashed today without Naismith playing in front of him. Irving back in too.”

@Liamr1874: “Interesting glad to see we’re finally playing with 2 up top.

@ozjambo51: “Thoughts. You wonder what Halliday has to do to get dropped. Good to see Irving. No Walker again? I'm not usually a fan of 4 4 2 but given how poor we are in the wide areas we don't really have much of a choice.”

@scottstevenson_: “I can only assume Jamie Walker isn't fit enough for a full 90 just now, better using that energy off the bench I guess.”

@RaymondGrant: “2 up front & folk are still moaning.”

@Masterton9: “Walker on the bench again? If he’s not carrying an injury then that’s a joke.”

@TheOldCastleRo1: “Nando and Boyce, great. Reasonably happy with this.”

@Amoruso1998: “No Charlie Adam for them which is a positive. For us would be great to see Irving at base of diamond perhaps with Halliday and McEneff driving forward and GMS playing in a free role to allow FB to provide width.”

@CraigTgolf17: “Actually a decent team that any chance of just putting in a decent performance today.”

@ellsmith1203: “I think some players are better coming off the bench, and I think that’s the situation with Waker.”

@Paphos_16: “No tippy, tappy, backwards, sideways, aimless passes today please. Up and at them from the first whistle till the last with maximum effort, desire and passion.”

@Mattlawson_6: “Starting with 5/6 defensive players at home Walker again on the bench, what does the guy need to do to start? Surely we should be starting with a strong attacking team, scoring goals and taking the game to them, instead of so defensive?”
