Playing a lot faster than we did last season.

Walker, Washington, Mulraney playing well, Berra a worry, but special mention for Hickey, excellent game so far.

Very good first half. Lots of great link up play and attacking moves. You can tell we’re lacking match sharpness but once that comes! 😍

 

Utd have had one attack and scored from it. Aprt from that we’ve been completely dominant.

Walker has brought a dimension we lacked whenever Naismith was out last year.

 

They'll play well together

HT. Been comfortably the better team without the scoreline showing it. Berra and Uche the only two real disappointments.

I’d have Halkett on for Berra.

Hickey and Irvine doing well. Mulvaney and Clare also looking good. Uche obviously not 100% hardly found a Hearts jersey, Washington lively. 

Funny how people see it differently.  I've not been impressed with Clare.

Decent first half. Keep it up and have a few more shots on target and we should win quite comfortably. Pleased with the absence of hoofball.

You really are a card Rick. 

 

It's taken him until HT to post his drivel. That's good for him.

I've been impressed with the speed of moving the ball round the pitch. Just a pity it's not sticking too well when it reaches the front 2

Room for improvement but not bad after a shacky start. 

This big switch ball from Berra has got to stop though. Sooooo predictable and easily dealt with.

Uche decision making must improve, but clearly not match fit. 

 

Mulraney looking good, Washington and Walker bring an Intelligence and movement we've missed. 

 

Clare has won the ball back well, but needs to get more involved. 

 

Lovely goal for Irving, Hickey looks good, Smith composed as always. 

 

We've actually played well, my concern is if we don't get ahead, not sure Walker, Uche, Washington along with Irving have 90 mins in them. 

 

Moved the ball well and good movement up top. 

 

Think they might get a man sent off as well.

Have to agree with you Geoff.   Thing the two youngsters having a good game, Walker is certainly in the mood and Mulraney is ripping them a new one...

Uche has been shocking. Has he been told to stop being so greedy so now he just passes it to no **** or underhits it?

Bizarre first half. Weather is truly atrocious. Utd couldn’t complain at going in 3-0 down here, yet somehow they almost went in 1-0 up. 

 

They’ve offered absolutely zero other attacking threat, while I feel they’re lucky that Clancy was so lenient early on. An absolute screamer from Irving got us back into the match, but Uche and Washington have both been wasteful so far. 

 

Hopefully I’m on at full time, sausage in tact, and celebrating a win where it’s more of the same, but with us actually finishing things off this time.

Played well baring a brain fart at the United goal.

Irving and Mulraney have impressed.

I'll second that. 

He won’t take Berra off.

more likely he’ll give it 25 mins and  if bringing Halkett on it will be for hickey

Can't see Uche, Walker, Washington, Irving lasting 90 mins. 

 

A few players playing thier first competitive game in a while. 

 

Pissing down as well, drains the energy.

Jambo, Goodbye

Lots of players only just now getting their first minutes on a pitch this season. You can see the rustiness in some and the sharpness in others. 

 

Shankland scored a gift from Berra but has been anonymous since. United look very much like a championship side. 

 

Irving is doing alright,  Uche has been busy but useless,  he needs minutes to get up to speed though. 

 

Mulraney is going to be a big player this season!

Wonder how many of the wibblers had to delete their thousand word half-time diatribes when that goal went in 😂

First half observations -

 

Walker is making the difference creatively, but needs a finish. Maybe just rustiness though

 

We look good going forward and hopefully we can keep this up against similar SPFL teams like Livi. Our problem last season was breaking down smaller teams, so it's good to see we are creating chances here.

 

We've been called "big and physical" when Dundee United are the ones with awful challenges... that was a shocking challenge and should have been a red. Karma more than made up for it with Irving's peach of a goal.

 

My only real negative is Berra looks finished. At fault for the goal and looking hesitant. A shame as he is a fantastic player but that injury against Celtic was his first big injury and it looks to have done him in, maybe mentally as well as physically. Souttar to step up alongside Halkett and Clevid this season, as Berra maybe does more coaching work and behind the scenes work retiring gracefully. We don't want him being the "Hughes" of this season.

Score aside Hearts do look good for the first game of the season....I don’t mind us conceding goals if the football is attack minded

Not me, I can do it in a word.

 

Meh.

 

Still think we've got enough to tuck the Dungdee Hibernian away, though.

Zanatta would be a good replacement. Played up front for alloa and has impressed in more season games. Even more movement up front

Actually thoroughly enjoyed that first half. Highlights -- 

 

Mulraney's runs and crosses

Aaron Hickey's composure

Irvine's finish

 

Lowlights

 

Uche's bizzarre cut backs

People not picking out Washington's runs (2 or 3 times he has been screaming for it in a decent position)

Berra looks a bit short on fitness, or, his legs have gone

Kevin Clancey

 

Apart from that, a good cup tie.

Great strike from Irving. 

I must admit Clare has got a lot better as the half has went on. Keep it up. 

Both forwards look extremely poor though. 

Uche has look poor

 

Im pleased with washingtons first half,good running off the ball,been involved on a few good build ups

Apart from the goal. A good goal I admit. We are totally dominating them. So many positives and a different way of playing from the shite last season.

 

we will win this 3 or 4 1.

 

Goals in this side.

Tell me what drivel I have posted pal? Have you even read my posts?? 

Irving has struggled for the most part first half and didn’t seem to want to take control of the ball. 

I hope his great goal gives him confidence.

Think it just looks like Dundee United of old, get a goal and try and frustrate till the end, does not make for good watching!!!!

Hopefully we will soon see where Craig Levein sees us this year.

if we go 2-1 up do we sit on what we have which we normally try and do or do we push on and try and kill the game off with more goals?

hopefully the latter.
