Unhappy Robbie Neilson admitted he was as frustrated as the Hearts support who turned on their team after their pathetic Pittodrie performance.
It was Aberdeen who cut the gap on the Jambos to just four points and had blown the fight for third place right open. Hearts were 3-0 down after less than half-an-hour and Neilson knows that just isn’t good enough or at the standards that is expected at his club.
He said: “I certainly do because I was as frustrated as they were. They paid their money to come up here, it’s a long journey on the train, expensive…to go and watch that. I thought that we were miles off where we need to be and where we have been as well. The first half until we changed it a wee bit then got into it in the second half we didn't want first or second contact and didn't put it in behind them.
