Best performance since?

**hibsbollah** · 05-12-2009 08:37 PM

I'm struggling to think of the last time ive been so impressed with a complete team performance...Every one of them was superb today.

Rangers cup game in 2006? CIS Cup Final?

**Andy74** · 05-12-2009 08:43 PM

Last time we played Motherwell. We were probably even better second half at fir park.

Best team performance in a long while. After we got the second goal I thought the passing and movement was really impressive. Best thing for me was we look like a strong and well organised team defensively. Some players still not firing on all cylinders but that is no more than nit picking. Well done guys.

We were brilliant today. I actually thought Motherwell gave up cos we were battering them so much

**hibsbollah** · 05-12-2009 09:00 PM

Pressed the ball throughout the game, everyone working hard. Special word for Hogg who I thought was almost faultless and hopefully will have silenced his critics

Can I dust off the passport yet?

He was excellent

**WestEndHibee** · 05-12-2009 09:05 PM

There wasn't a moment in the second half where i was worried about the game. I haven't been able to say that in a long while. Best I've seen them in years. Thought nishy put in a cracker of a shift aswell.

Maybe work on his distribution? Or just give it to someone who can do it for him?

The much maligned Colin Nish was my man of the match today. Good first touch, tireless workrate and a few very good passes

**Dashing Bob S** · 05-12-2009 09:07 PM

Seen us play more devastating up front (Fir Park) but never so good (probably ever) in winning the ball and not letting the opposition get in the game.

**Russian Hibs Fan** · 05-12-2009 09:09 PM

... since we beat them 6-1 at Fir Park probably!

**Sas_The_Hibby** · 05-12-2009 09:11 PM

Can we play Motherwell every week, please?

I thought exactly the same thing.

**jabis** · 05-12-2009 09:15 PM

Who was the guy who looked like Nish,but didn't fall over,or get caught offside all the time,linked play ,and showed great skill with the ball at his feet ?

***Danderhall Hibs*** · 05-12-2009 09:20 PM

Our best performance since the last time we wore the white strips.

**Sir David Gray** · 05-12-2009 09:23 PM

That was up there as one of the best all round performances that I have probably ever seen by a Hibs team.

I saw him too. It certainly wasn't Nish, because this guy didn't moan about decisions throughout the game. I even saw him run AND tackle.

I must admit I'd pretty well given up on Nish earlier in the season but the last 1.5 games (

) he's a changed character. Perhaps Yogi threatened to do him serious damage at half time in the Falkirk game!

Played brilliantly as a team at ibrox in 1-1 about 6 weeks ago. This was great display though..... More of the same at Killie please.....

**RigRoars** · 05-12-2009 09:35 PM

Best performance since?

Hilary Swank in Million Dollar Baby.

Seriously though,i couldn't make it today but its great to see so many positive
threads and posts.And what sounded like a fantastic performance.

Although our pressing them when they had the ball today was even better.

**~~Hibercelona~~** · 05-12-2009 09:58 PM

We were decent today. But I wouldn't say we were superb.

Motherwell were utter mince.

**EasterRoad4Ever** · 05-12-2009 10:00 PM

Team spirit on the park was something else today ! Not seen anything like it since the vintage 2002 McLeish side.

We may just be witnessing something very special at Hibs just now. Who knows where this will go or for how long, but its VERY different to anything I've seen ER way in the last 7/8 years.

We made them look poor.

**The Harp Awakes** · 05-12-2009 10:05 PM

Hibs were quite simply outstanding today. We pressed Motherwell all over the pitch never giving them a chance to settle. Great all rond team performance.

They just couldn't handle the flair.

**~~Hibernating (Im a stoopid yam tramp)~~** · 05-12-2009 10:31 PM

Got to say, this Hibs team looks the best all round side that I've seen since the 70's. Miller's men in the mid 90's were very good, but inconsistent due to lack of squad numbers. McLeish's team was essentially built on two veteran players (Latas and Sauzee), the rest were mostly good journeyman pro's like Mixu and Matty Jack. Mowbray's team was youthful and exciting but had little experience and terrible keepers. I think this team is the perfect balance of star player, experience and youthful zest; and has a manager that can get the best out of them.

I'm only a home supporter these days so cannae comment on performances elsewhere but that's the best all round performance I've seen this season.
