Am I in the minority in thinking Liam Miller is overated by us .netters

Yesterday surely has finally exposed this myth about the excellence of the Miller, McBride partnership.

Lightweight, limited and ineffectual. Yet again Hibs midfield outfought, outpassed and ultimately a soft touch to the other team.

How many times does this have to happen by lesser teams before it twigs that this is the main weakness in the team.

Rankin doesn't add anything to the mix at all and we all know Deeks isn't a left half but at least he brings goals to the table.

The failure to strengthen this area in January was criminal, whilst bringing in two goalies instead and then mostly playing Stack.

Sherlock Holmes couldn't figure out that one.
A real headscratcher if ever there was one.

You aint in the minority mate. I myself, cant see what the fuss about Miller is. He was lucky to touch the ball 6 times against hearts and if he did it was usually back or to a hearts player. I though he was a playmaker, a creative midfielder ???? Yes he has shown signs off it but only in small dosses.

[brydekirk]

his passing has been poor lately, but hes not the only one.

I have said this over a few threads, I dont think I have seen Miller even trying to open defences up this season. He has had good games for us but I think this is when he has been nipping in getting the ball and passing sideways or backwards. Across our whole team we are seriously lacking a player who can see the pass to open up defences, also, we dont really have anyone that likes to take the ball a run, the only one is zemmama but he seems to be trying to get the 'most injury prone player award' ahead of Mccann this year!

Its no coincidence our big players, Bamba and Miller have had a dip in form recently, and the team have suffered too. Along with Zemamma being injured, these 3 with stokes and riordans goals have dragged the rest along for most of this season. Now they are all crap. Only at Hibs.

Why do you regard Bamba a big player ? I need to get my head around some people's perception of Bamba.

I just think you need to get your head looked at by some sort of specialist.

I remember watching him with Dunfermline and thinking what a bungling player he was. Bombscare Bamba he was affectionately known over there....he has done nothing to suggest he is a better player than he was with them.

To be honest MussyHibby, I find it quite pathetic that every time Liam Miller doesn't play well you bring up this thread. You're entitled to your opinion like everybody else on this board, but your constant regurgitating of this topic to try cram your opinion down everyone's throat is boring. You don't rate Miller. We get it.

I was a little bit inebriated Staurday when I "regurgitated" this thread, so for you I apologise. However, for all the people who said I was wrong and slated me on this thread, it just felt a little pleasurable "regurgitating" it!

FWIW, since I first posted this, I have watched Miller very closely and so wanted to be proven wrong. I am a passionate Hibby, I want to see us doing well, especially our "playmakers", but I still think we have a far too high opinion of the guy, and now I guess I've been proven right!

And I will too about Bamba when he signs for Blackburn Rovers!

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

So we have:

1. Stack never comes off his line.
2. Spoony is never a right back.
3. Hogg is murder.
4. Bamba is a bombscare.
5. Murray has been ok.
6. Miller is way overated.
7. McBride isn't strong enough.
8. Riordans a lazy bassa.
9. Rankin's rank.
10. Stokes can't hold up play and the only thing he's any good at is scoring goals.
11. Benji is disinterested.
12. Nish is p!sh.

Have i missed anyone

Makes you wonder why we're not in a relegation dogfight!

As the kit-man ? He cant cut it in a crap league in Scotland never mind the best league in the world. Imagin him trying to deal with Rooney or Torres....this is a joke.

Oscar, we agree on Miller, we obviously strongly disagree on Bamba, it's allowed!

Sometimes when I come on here I wonder if some folk have never heard of 'form'. This is a totally different thing to 'quality' and goes down as well as up. No player is on form 100% of the time. Unfortunately, some Hibs fans seem to expect all our players to always be on top form. When they're not, they get a 'he's overrated/lazy/crap' thread dedicated to them.

No, I felt in January he was overated, nothing to do with current form. Read the original post, it wasn't/isn't a witchunt.

Same thread on Bamba within the last week - spot on with Form and quality/class.

Quite a recurring theme so would it be simpler if we had a section for members to rate current weekly form and ability/class out of 10. Then review as the season progresses. Or weekly mass polls. Everyone loves a good polling and with the election round the corner why not?

Then perhaps we could also have a similar one for "form"/class of posters
