End product was consistently poor. For a winger with his pace, he rarely fashioned shooting opportunities. Of course, he’d have some good moments but every player does. Symptomatic of alot of our players in recent times. Inconsistent, go missing when things get tough. Pretty confident RNs new lads will show they are more dependable and effective.

The fact we got some cash for him when he went to the states is probably even more of a shock than signing him in the first place! Stendel gave Mulraney a chance to prove himself, he threw it back in his face with the two-finger salute and poor attitude so he was rightly dropped.

Thing is though, throughout the last few years, players have came in and actually looked decent and confident enough but it only lasted on average of around three months. Then they became as average or as poor as the players they were brought in to replace, or indeed, a few of them not good enough in the first place. Players were restricted on what they were allowed to do creatively, to play zonal and not to move too much from where you're told to be which affects confidence in their own ability and a "pass the buck to someone else" type of attitude on the pitch. How many times did we see promising moves break down, lack of movement by the players then the fans screaming for players to move quicker and create an opening? And when the fans were unhappy with what they saw they got on players' backs. That would also cause them to lack confidence. It was really a mix of the two if you think about it, a coaching set-up that restricted their freedom of creativity which pissed the supporters off (and probably the players) and supporters getting on players' backs for not being creative enough anyway. It was catch 22. It didn't surprise me that a lot of them just seemed to go through the motions without really giving a toss about the team, results, the fans or probably even training. There was a bit of a divide between us and the players, no togetherness. Hearts teams/players and fans have always created a bond, just ask some of the foreign lads we've had in the past like Bruno, Rousset, Flogel Skacel and many others, Niemi, Adam also spring to mind. Not to mention Scottish players who weren't actually Hearts fans first like Fulton, Hartley, Kyle, Colquhoun etc.. Let's just hope things can improve for players and fans alike and we can get that bond back that HMFC are known for.

That was about how they recorded the selling of their ground to show a profit for financial fair play purposes rather than being in risk of going into administration or anything like that. It related to 2017-18 as well, but the points penalty has only been applied this season. So it shouldn't directly impact. At the same time they don't seem to have spent much in recent years. They may be willing to spend more this year given they have to overcome the points penalty to stay in the Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Problem with Callum Paterson is that he's a bit jack of all trades, master of none. For me he's a Targetman Center Forward or, he could be adapted to play as a big Centerhalf stopper, simply because his main attributes are his physical presence and aerial abilities. Although, I don't think he's ever been tried at Centerhalf. Probably something that should have been tried earlier in his career.

I don't think we'll ever know Callums best position, strong, quick, fantastic in the air and a powerful shot on him, but he has no positional awareness and a poor first touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
