Dundee 3-1 Hearts: Who impressed?

Hearts head coach Steven Naismith: "Really bad. To go in 3-0 down was really disappointing, and the most frustrating thing is the goals are really poor. They are cheap from our point of view. "They seemed to be getting to all the second balls and that was probably the root of the problem. It was very much like the first game against Dundee last season."If you want to be at a club like Hearts and you want to be successful, you have to empty your tank week-in, week-out."In the second half we created more chances. Oda had two really good chances, but we don't take it. When those moments come, you have to take them because it changes the dynamic of the game."
