Sid Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Is it because it’s a positive? Put in a pile of crosses today right on the spot. No takers. He did did his job today (and has done for the past number of weeks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambof3tornado Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 1st name of my team sheet. Better left back behind him would have allowed him to stay up the park. Levein denied he was under instruction to work back as much. Levein can **** off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Internet Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Having Garuccio behind him would see him at his true best I think. Just now he has to cover too much for Burns being slow. He is one of our most important players the now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobreath Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Mulraney was one of the few positives today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlingCrosby Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Burns was calling for Mulraney to come short for passes all day and he didn’t show. He didn’t do enough for me at all. Not the worst player in maroon though, so I wouldn’t single him out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 He didn't give up but had the ball shelled to him with markers close to him and trying to control and then go at players is difficult in that situation for anyone. Even Messi would struggle in our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Think every ball he put in was decent It is frustrating that the ball is never played into space for him to run into but instead to his feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 He made two runs from deep while we were footering about at free kicks where, if spotted he would have been clean through. similarily, Burns hitva few passes to short for him which turned into goalposts passes. It wasn’t Mulraney being slowvoff the Mark. T appear Burns may like the short drop back pass but Mulraney is looking for something to run onto. Hopefully, they will work other out and can be a good partnership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns' distribution today was utterly woeful. Whenever he had the opportunity to get an easy ball to Mulraney, he cocked it up on multiple occasions. And at one point in the second half Burns appeared to be telling Mulraney how to play football, which I thought was a bloody cheek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why the coaching staff don't see that. The number of times our defence are looking for a pass and he is standing, marked, on the half way line. He needs to learn to spin and go in behind the fullback and he will be a far more effective winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I’ll tell you why. Apart from setting up Mclean’s goal he was terrible. Every time Burns got the ball he ran away from him. An imposter of a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambomjm74 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I don’t think he realises how good he can be and bottles it... the run against Aberdeen won us the game / the cross in semi final won us the game..... The cup final is his chance to show what he can do, take some chances go forwards hit the byline. Don’t slow and wait for the full back. Tell him to watch the 2012 final and focus on Driver and see how he influenced the game, also ask him about the stick he took before the final and he wasn’t doing it ... Go out and do it !!!

gashauskis9 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 One of very few who gets that attacking is the best form of defence. Always looking for early balls at set pieces too. His team mates let him down today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanHearts Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Never read it all but for me Mullraney is one positive we have.

Anderson5 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 There’s a player there to be developed. I think he’ll move further up the pitch as he improves and can eventually see him wide left of a front 3. IE. A proper winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on&up2017 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 For me Mulraney very rarely attacked the right back as he has been doing recently, with a good bit joy. Did Levein tell him to be more cautious so as not leave us short in numbers if he lost possession, defence first as can be the way with him. To me he seems restricted, if so was that restriction set by himself or the manager!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftBack Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Mulraney is, imo, a potential match winner on his day. Definitely has raw talent and probably has been the player of the 2nd half of season. Hopefully he will continue to develop and with the right support, and confidence, he will kick on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upgotheheads Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Mulraney was one of the few who got a pass mark from me at least today. Another was Burns, although I know it's all about opinions. I actually heard this conversation on a bus to Haymarket , passenger "Burns was awful, no good enough" reply " Aye , Wighton wisnae bad though" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great cross for the goal, the problem with the other ones were he doesn’t look up before crossing and therefore has no idea where he should be putting the ball. Also he let Tavernier get away from him all day, we’ve allowed their main playmaker the freedom of the pitch every time we’ve played them this season. He’s progressing but he still has a fair way to go but is our only winger at this time, a shocking state of affairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
