Soapy Soutar Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Thought he played very well last night and continued his good form from end of last season,i was very critical on occasions last year but mainly due to him playing wing back. His pace is frightening,he has 2 good quick feet and puts in a good delivery, 3/4 occasions last night he turned defence into attack in seconds with his pace and ability to carry the ball. At only just 23 he has all the assets the coaching staff should be relishing working with and brinhing him on even more,another player who will also benefit hugely with naismith on the pitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsalldothebeattie Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Finally starting to see the player Levein and Robbo spoke about when he moved to us. His sudden acceleration is scary and its nice to see he has been working on his crosses as they have been much improved, think he will be a stand out this season for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section Q Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I dont see Mulraney's pace as "frightening" and ""scary" but he had a decent game and if he's consistant then this could be his break through season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_A wehatethehibs Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Good wee player. He has kicked on and taken his chance to show he can cut it for Hearts. Hopefully he can move forward to the next level and show he can be a big name player for Hearts. Right now I think you have to put him down as one of the first names on the team sheet.

Debut 4 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 My only gripe is the way we seem to ignore Mulraney in the 2nd half. It was the same last season. We’d look to get him on the ball as much as possible in the first half, then seem to drift our thoughts away from him in the 2nd. Its actually been good to watch the gradual improvement in him. Says as much about him as it does the coaching. He’s obviously been determined to improve and take his chance a a bigger club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm, tad harsh but I do agree partly that it’s something he needs to do a lot more over a season. As some posters have said, his crossing (based on last night) has hugely improved but his running at people when the space opens up offers so much opportunity for Hearts and makes us more dangerous. Unlucky last night when he ran from his own half and his right foot got caught up stopping his run. Otherwise he was right through or playing someone in.

kila Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Good first half, fizzled out a little in the second. Still got high hopes for him this season, he always backtracks. He is just so fast. Clare covered him on the wing a few times when he was out of position on a sprint through the middle. I don't think he got the ball when he did that but would've been a good move if he had.

Perhaps a tad hard, but if we are to do better this year we need an improved performance from everyone. JM has got a long way to go if he is to get any where near the level of Walker.

Dodger84 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 You can see he has grown in confidence. Looked dangerous from out wide and gives a threat on the break.

Uncle Buck Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I’m a big fan. Love the way he just knocks it past the defender and runs on to it. Nothing fancy.

Brighton Jambo Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Two many posters not big enough to admit that they were utterly wrong about Mulraney. Last night he showed great pace driving at the United defence on the break. He got the ball out of his feet quickly on a number of occasions and swung some excellent balls in, he also moved the ball quickly and combined well with Hickey. his pace also allows him to turn bad balls into something even if it’s forcing the opposition to concede a throw in deep in their half thus giving us good possession. He is one of the first names on the team sheet now without doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith and Hickey probably our best players on the night and Souttar strolled it as usual, defence wasn't really troubled much. Wouldn't say our squad is weak apart from midfield where we are quite alarmingly short. Quite happy with our defensive and attacking options.

Cruyff Turn Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Unbelievable how he’s gone from a bench player at ICT to first XI at Hearts. Clearly the talent was always there but now he’s confident, he’s unplayable at times. If he can keep improving he’ll be a very important player for us long term and I can see CL giving him an improved deal if he keeps doing the biz.
