Hearts

[Andy_P]

Your choices and thoughts please....

[Neil]

Hutchinson.

 

Solid.

[Ya Bezzer!]

A few good performers today but I'd go Jim O'Brien.

[SuperSteelman]

I went for Saunders but i thought Jim O'Brien was excellent today.

[steelboy]

a lot of good performances but i thought hutchison and coke stood out.

 

i went for coke as i think his form will be vital to how we do this season.

[Wellarmy]

Any one from 4 or 5 of them, picked Reynolds tho. He was fantastic, up and down the line like a proper full back. His pace and running were frightening!

[Brazilian]

Hutch for me

 

 

and a mention for big Starsky playing alongside him

[Gamst]

went for coke, his best performance in weeks

[another number]

Hutch for me, but Coke put in a good few tackles this week that broke Hearts down well

[star sail]

Good performances by Coke and Reynolds but for me Sutton was excellent today. He caused there back two real problems and some of his lay offs were excellent and let us built further up the field. He was very unlucky to be booked. He gets my vote.

[gdalli10]

everyone gets passmarks but my man of the match is yassin as he kept driver quiet for almost the entire game and he got an assist for the goal

[mon_da_well]

Giles!

[AndrewK]

Could be anybody from 4 or 5 but went for Hutch, thought he was solid at the back

[fat_tony]

Wide open MOTM competition today with a lot of good performances but I actually went for Jutkiewicz. I thought his movement both with and without the ball was superb and he did everything bar score. So many times we were under pressure at a shy and he would show for the ball, shrug off a couple of hearts players an find a pass. That and some of the lovely touches and flicks he showed and I think we're beginning to see glimpses of why Everton bought him in the first place.

 

Hopefully he'll keep improving and we can extend his loan until the end of the season.

[MearnsWell]

Would ove to be able to vote two at one for Hutch and Saunders, who I though were immense at the back today. Reynolds did well at LB, Coke and Hately also decent. Errrr, Saunders.

[superwell87]

Coke gets my vote. Although not really a bad preformence from anyone today.

[Tweed]

O'Brien - ran all day and that guy Thomson did not know what to do with him. But he gained us a man advantage with perseverence which was so beneficial in the seven added minutes and the technique on the volley was outstanding.

 

However to me you could make an argument for everyone in the team apart from Ruddy (and that was just because Hearts were kept so quiet!).

I voted for Coke but you are spot on about Jutkiewicz. Him and Sutton were a real handful for the Hearts defence.

[Motherwell Football Club]

Sutton for me.

 

He just does his job well.

[wellmanandy]

3 or 4 good contenders for MOTM today but in the end I went for Hutch. Good to see him back

[DC'd]

Lukas for me, could have been either of the front two. As they pretty much won everything that was launched to them. Sutton won basically every knock-on and Lukas held the ball up successfully and looked threatening with his runs and very rarely lost possession. Several intelligent runs throughout the game to open up the space for the attacking midfielders. Particularly for Coke's shot (albeit a poor one), Lukas dragging both defenders and the entire goal then opened up for Coke to have his shot, unfortunately unsuccessfully. It's the runs that go un-noticed by most.

 

Agreed that Reynolds, Saunders, Hutchinson were all fantastic at the back, but vote goes to one of the strikers due to Hearts being very poor in the final 3rd and as much as the three mentioned done their job very well, they weren't tested as much as we possibly would have expected from a Hearts team.

 

Could have anyone today from O'Brien, Coke, Lukas, Sutton, Reynolds, Hutch, Saunders

[grumpy]

Several good performances today, but I thought the butler was excellent, just shading it from Hutchinson. Saunders, Reynolds, the Duke and O'Brien all did well too.

[Welldaft Mk1]

I thought everyone (bar maybe Moutakil) played well today.

 

Coke was back to his best and it is quite staggering to think we had two teenagers in central defence who looked so accomplished.

 

Coke edges it for me - but my runners up spot would go to big Lukas. People have had a go at him recently but today he showed why he is getting better and better. His hold up play and off loading was simply top notch. Go Jukebox

[dosser1886]

Much more like it today. Lots of contenders and really difficult to choose. Ruddy didn't have much to do but what he did have to do he did it well, gives so much confidence to the defence and the rest of the team. Hutch is an excellent player and I think that we will really struggle to keep a hold of him long term, Saunders apart from some wayword passes was great - absolutely superb in the air, Yassin much better but still needs to be more confidents to get past a player he definitely has the pace. Coke, Hately, Forbes much better. Jim O'Brien - what can I say excellent as usual and other teams must hate playing against him his touch and trickery on the ball are what we go to football for and want to see. Reynolds - how good is he when he gets his head down and actually runs at players. Sutton and Jutkiewicz up front did really well today.

 

But for me Jutkiewicz was the pick of all of them and I'm starting to see why Everton paid a fair bit of cash for him. Good in the air, holds up the ball well and puts a real shift in.

 

But well done to all of the guys and of course Jim Gannon.

 

Not complaining but how piss poor and disinterested did the Jam Tarts look.

[sinky]

was a great effort by the team, a credit to coke and JOB, but went for reynolds, he was playing out of his usual position and his pace is emence.
