Player ratings v Hibs


Walter Bishop

Recommended Posts

Perreira - 7 - Not much to do, no chance with goal. Glad he was back. 

 

Smith - 8 - Great to have him back, His presence lifted his fellow defenders.

Berra - 7 - Solid as usual, Suits him playing against a bigger striker. 

Halkett - 8 - Impressive again, distribution is superb.

Hickey - 8 - Another great game, showed his versatility, what a goal! 

 

Whelan - 10 - Masterclass in midfield, ran the game.

Damour - 6 - Jury still out for me, Prefer Irving at the moment. 

 

Mulraney - 6 - What a player he could be if he had a final ball.

Meshino - 7 - Looks like the missing link, Will only get better. They should have had 3 players booked for fouls on him! 

Clare - 5 - Not happening at all for him, Needs dropped and to find a position.

 

Uche - 7 - Never stopped, deserved his goal. 

 

Subs - 

Morrison - 7 - Much more of a threat than Clare, Done well.

Irving - 7 - Oozes class, Linked well with Whelan and plays on front foot.

Dikamona - 2 - No time 

 

Craig Levein - 7 - Deserves credit for making changes he did, before that we looked out of it.

Bang on for me. 

 

I think Damour is undoubtedly a decent footballer but he really needs to realise the pace of the game here.

Machino, Smith and Whelan were best of the bunch.

Keeper scares the hell out of me, could have cost us at the end.

 

He made a couple of excellent stops after we went ahead. But he did look weak at the 'no goal'.

We've actually got a decent team and should be doing so much better, which is down to levein for me. 

 

Naismith in for clare (if/when he's fit!). I'm not a massive fan of mulraney so would play irving instead of him, or walker when he's back.  That should be a team challenging for 3rd at worst!

Pereira - 5. Barely anything to do. Not convinced by his handling. 

Smith, Berra, Halkett - 7. All solid and largely untroubled. 

Hickey - 8. Extra point for the goal and celebration. I love how comfortable he is on his right foot. 

Clare - 5. Ineffective. 

Whelan - 8. Strolled it. Broke up play well and distribution was generally excellent. 

Damour - 6. Some good stuff but we looked much better chasing the game with Irving on. 

Mulraney - 5. Got into space on the left hand side so many times and don't think he picked out a man for a single one of his crosses. 

Meshino - 7. Looks like a proper footballer and didn't hide despite a bit of rough treatment from the Hibs defenders. 

Uche - 7. Frustrating to watch but put in a power of work and took his goal excellently.  

 

Irving, Morrison - 6. Both had positive impacts and helped up the tempo. Good subs by Levein.

Perreira 5 Looks shaky. First derby though

 

Hickey 7  Started a bit hesitantly but what a prospect!

Halkett 7 Mr Composure. Back to his solid best

Berra 7 Much better. Seems to have lsot some pace but was well protected by Halkett and Smith

Smith 8 Drove forward well. Defended with a lionheart. Niggling injurt at the end?

Mulraney 6 Frustrating. Caused them loads of problems but no end product

 

Whelan 8 MOM Strolled through a tough game. A bit harshly booked

Damour 6 faded a bit as the game went on. Good decsion to sub him

Clare 5 Flatters to deceive. Another good decision to sub him

Meshino 7 Really lively. Often one pass from making a really significant impacrt

 

Ikpeazu  8  His strength got us back in the game. Well worth his place playing like this

 

Subs

Morrison 5 Good to see him back. Uches created loads of space for him

Irving 4  One horror moment. Otherwise supplied composure

Dikamona 2  late sub

 

Levein 8 Tactics and subs spot on

 

Beaton 6 I guess we have little to complain about today

Beaton played advantage after a blatant jersey tug - should have given a yellow. Also very lenient on a number of other vermin hammer-throwers - a 5 for me.

 

All Hearts players 10, except Whelan who gets an eleven.

 

I love Hearts.

The ball was punched out his hands, never in doubt.

Reasonable marks and I’d agree with most although I’d have Uche as a 6 or 7. Until he scored I didn’t think he’d offered anything and was second to most balls.  Plus (and unusually for Uche) I didn’t feel like he put a shift in, felt like he was off the pace.

Whilst you're right it was only after he caught it a second time. 

 

He's an improvement on what we have but he's not shown his best yet.

Didn't put a shift in 😏

 

Did you see him getting interviewed after the game. 

 

The sweat was pouring off him.

As a unit it is a 10 for all.  However subbing Mulraney and Clsre was the right decision. 

 

Whelan is the player we have been missing.

Pereira 7 Nothing to do.

 

Smith 7 Good game, still carrying a knock.

Berra 6 Not up against much.

Halkett 7 Good game

Hickey 8 Done okay after shaky start on right, who would have thought, apart from genius in dugout, that we would get more from him on left?

 

Whelan 8 Controlled midfield

Clare 5 Timid

Damour 7 Came onto game second part of first half.

Mulraney 6 Good link.up play, shocking distribution.

Meshino 8 Started okay, took control second half. Wants to go forward all the time, refreshing.

 

Uche 5 goal.

 

Morrison 4 not up to much

Irving 5 Ok

Dikamona 1 no time

Luic took a bad one in previous match think Hamilton he is struggling ankle but isn't serious more restraint on him. Your correct in observation.

Uche plays middle for me he has a devastating turn and accuracy in the strike zone. He was fun today agreesive stylish and ripped a few smiles at vermin. He is going to get more

Seriously sweating I mean.

 

Like a river running off him and he hadn't put in a shift?? 

 

No other comments about his lack of a shift today from any other fans. 

 

Just saying like.... 🙄

Whelan was my MOTM, he does everything simple and does not give the ball away ever. Blessed to have him 

 

Hickey is special, 17yr old and he strolls it! Big money for him in the future, hopefully way in the future! 

 

Uche really does have a terrible first touch but he works so bloody hard for the team. Kudos big man.

 

What a feeling when that 2nd goal went in, hickey must be absolutely buzzing tonight. 

 

P.s Hopefully some bench time for clare

No worries, we can agree to disagree. 

I felt there were half a dozen times he was caught on his heels and not at the races but he took his goal well.

Joel-6 solid with really not a lot to do 

 

Hickey- 7 started of Shaky too right it was hit first Derby but he learns very quickly in games and thats why he will be a top top player 

 

Halkett-7 solid and did was what asked of him won his individual battles 

 

Berra-7 see above 

 

Smith-7  doesn’t matter where he plays he put a shift in and 9/10 he is very good 

 

Whelan-8 more of this please we need him to get us ticking in games 

 

Damour-6 felt he wanted a little too much time on the ball, when he moved it quicker he was good but needs to learn quickly 

 

Clare- 6 yet again in an out of the game needs to play in the 10 position as he can’t play out-wide, unfortunately looking more and more like a squad player 

 

Mulraney-7 needs to be more involved, when he gets in the he looks dangerous, need to improve his crossing as well 

 

Meshino-8 every time he got the ball he was positive and looked to attack, some nice one twos looking forward to him and Naismith linking up 

 

Uche-7/8 part of it he did very well but other time he’s still a bit of a bull in a china shop! The few times we played it into his feet he did very well! But at the end of the day he’s there to score and he’s done that! 

 

Irving-6 good change as Damour was fading out of the game, for me he should be starting with Whelan 

 

Morrison-6 hope he can really kick in after his injury, looked good but still needs to improve on his crossing 

 

Levein-8 delighted for the man tonight that is all

Joel 6, doesn't fill me with confidence but didn't do much wrong

 

Hickey 7, looked fairly solid left or right, and what a hit.

Halkett 7, strolled it, read the game very well.

Berra 6, thought he was lucky to get away with a few robust challenges with Kamberi, but better from him

Smith 7, great to see him back

Mulraney 6, his pace is such an asset and he carried us up the park, needs to work on his end product

 

Whelan 8, strolled it, silly booking

Damour 5, thought he struggled, id like to see him further forward

Clare 5, few good touches and some decent runs on the ball but nothing consistent 

Meshino 7, was a real positive spark

 

Uche 7, love the big guy. Goal and an assist in a 2-1 derby win can't be bad

rudi must stay

Pereira - 6 looked alright in goal. Wouldn't go any further

 

Smith - 7 Mr consistent as usual

Berra - 7 I felt that was a more confident and determined effort.

Halkett - 8 superb

Hickey - 7 goal and an impressed display as usual

 

Mulraney - 6.5 drifted in and out I guess

Damour - 7 classy player in the middle, never plays safe

Whelan - 7 same as Damour. I think we are going to see some great moments from him this season

Meshino - 8 technically a superb player and his attitude is spot on. At one point he contested a ball with 2 guys bigger than him and he still won it. When he has it it's like the ball is glued to his feet. 

Clare - 6 for me it's down to desire. Just doesn't want it and you can't force that, can't carry him.

 

Uche - 6.5 2 goals in 2 games a nice confidence booster, and I expect him to build on that as he is an awkward attacker for any defender to face

 

Subs

Irving - 5 battled away

Morrison - 5 good attacking sub. Floated out the game to be honest but just back from injury, not bad

Geoff Kilpatrick

Pereira - 5 - Disappointing that he was beaten from that distance

Smith - 8 - Excellent throughout. Shows how much we've missed him the past couple of weeks

Hickey - 8 - The Gary Naysmith moment we wanted! Another class performance as well and Horgan should have got more than a booking for his deliberate chopping down of him

Whelan - 8 - MoM. Marked down a point for the build up to their goal. Ran the show otherwise.

Halkett - 8 - Outstanding again

Berra - 7 - Best game in a while

Meshino - 8 - Looked dangerous every time he had the ball. Pity about some of his options to play off

Clare - 4 - Awful. Nuff said

Ikpeazu - 7 - Made one, scored one, fell down umpteen times. No matter. His goal was a brilliant poacher's goal

Damour  - 6 - Started well and faded away

Mulraney - 4 - The lack of end product was hugely frustrating

Subs:

Morrison - 5 - More impact than Mulraney in a shorter time span

Irving - 5 - Tidy and composed on the ball

Dikamona - 1 - No time

Pereira - Looks shaky at times but will grow - 6

 

Smith - Mr consistent very important player for us - 7

 

Berra - Will header anything. Good no frills performance - 7

 

Halkett - Same as Berra - 7

 

Hickey - What a talent. Grew as the game went on, gets extra point for the goal - 8

 

Clare - Needs taken out the team for his own good, lacks heart - 5

 

Mulraney - His pace is very important, needs an end product or needs to turn inside - 7

 

Whelan - Masterclass, will be very very important this season. Fantastic game management after early yellow. The man that Berra needs to give the ball to rather than lumping it forward. - 9

 

Meshino - Great player, will get better. Him and Naismith will be very good together - 8

 

Damour - Tidy player still isn’t up to the speed of the SPL, needs to much time on the ball - 6

 

Uche -  Heart of a Lion! Works very hard for 90mins, Needs better service from

our wingers, extra point for the goal - 8

 

Irvine - Should start - 5

Morrison - Changed the game. Far more balanced team when he came on and likes to run at defenders. Needs to start ahead of Clare on Wednesday - 6

Dikamona - Brought on to shore things up -  Good dependable squad player - 4

Mulraney and Clare need some time out the team. Some of our crossing yesterday was woeful.

 

Looking forward to seeing Naismith and Meshino behind Uche. 

 

Whelan was class.

Perreira - 7 - Perhaps too far off his line with goal. Couple of good stops.

 

Smith - 8 - Great to have him back, His presence lifted his fellow defenders.

Berra - 7 - Solid as usual, Suits him playing against a bigger striker. 

Halkett - 7 - Gave the ball away in a dangerous area, could have cost us.

Hickey - 8 - Good game overall and hit a screamer.

 

Whelan - 9 - Controlled the game.

Damour - 6 - Solid. 

 

Mulraney - 6 - Got into good areas but a shocking end product.

Meshino - 7 - Looks like the missing link, Will only get better. They should have had 3 players booked for fouls on him! 

Clare - 6 - Some good passing play and almost broke into the box for what would have been a class goal. Not quite working for him.

 

Uche - 8 - Never stopped, took his goal well and had a cool head to set up Hickey.

 

Subs - 

Morrison - 7 - Positive on the ball.

Irving - 7 - Good linked up play.

Dikamona - 2 - No time 

 

Craig Levein - 8 - Deserves credit for making the right changes. The players clearly ARE playing for him despite what the haters are trying to insinuate.

Uche rag dolled everyone and started toying with them after his goal....goal and an assist in a Derby and most folk give him a 6???

i after that it is more than goals but he essentially won the game for us

though Joel was a bit shaky and on another day could have been caught out

Clare needs to be taken out of the firing line you can see his confidence is not there and use as an impact player.. problem for me is there isn’t really anybody better and fit in his position.

love Halkett his composure on the ball is great and although Berra might not be what he used to be but Halkett will be learning so much from him.

I wanted more from Meshino felt that when he had a chance to attack he passed but maybe the 10 bottles of beer impacted my vision 😂.

i watched Whelan for ROI and wanted him to stroll our games like he did for them and yesterday was a masterclass....how he has ended up at Hearts is beyond me...something maybe we can give credit to our Manager and Owner??

As for Craig the chips were down and despite the old boy in the pub telling me he doesn’t have a plan B he does....we might not agree with his starting 11 or formation but his changes made the game....to have a player like Irving come off the bench is really pleasing.

Hickey....unreal talent...I watched him away to Motherwell and his anticipation for what his opponent is going to do is excellent and clearly he is growing...I can’t remember a better player at his age, maybe Naysmith but that was almost 20 years ago...

Enjoyed the last 20 mins and hopefully we can build on it
