Liam Miller isnt the tough tackling midfielder so much of us want him to be. its not in his nature. he harries the ball pretty well in general. his passing is poor atm, but thats cause theres nothing around him. when hibs play well and start passing and moving, miller is brilliant. we just need to play the right game that suits him, and that generally suits the rest of the team.
but he was poor today and hasn't hit the heights of last season. would keep him at the club as he can be very useful.

For some reason some folk never took to him and appear desperate for him to be a failure.

No one stood out today in the slightest but his first touch, passing and tackling today was absolutely woeful. The only praise I could give was that he didn't hide away but he really was poor.

Really annoyed with Liam today. Have been wanting him to just come up with the form he showed at the start under Hughes. Being honest, starting to lose patience with him.
The talent is there, but for me the application and the desire is very much questionable.
Really feel let down as he is a player that I feel has taken a bit too much abuse on this forum.
Time for someone to step up to the plate.
Not happy.

Liam Miller - passenger, wage thief, bottler all of those and he is not alone. Wants to play in the premier league next. Maybe the Blue Square Premier League.
Cannot believe some are defending him, by accusing Riordan of being stationary. At no time did I see Miller have control of the ball long enough to make a forward pass to Riordan.
Our problem is a totally ineffective midfield that cannot take a pass and get the ball to going forward quickly. Even if Riordan did make a run, it is highly unlikely that the ball would get to him quickly enough. Riordan is not the problem at Hibs.

Whilst frustrated with Miller's form I cannot believe the abuse he gets. My mates and I sat in different seats from our usual ST ones and we were surrounded by guys going mental at everything Miller done, one of them was nearly frothing at the mouth. I agree he has been poor, but it seems that some of our support are all to quick to single him out.

It is not surprising that our supporters are turning on the team. They really do deserve it!

Have you ever tried to play football when any time you have the ball and are looking for a pass and not one person is wanting the ball of you? if yes you will know how liam miller felt today because thats what he had to put up with! And to say he wasnt trying and running about i am sorry but you just dont know anything about football or you think john rankin is a great player because he runs about like a headless chicken !

I know what you are saying, but lets examine the opposition today. Ayr United, only played one game in the last few weeks, part time, and two leagues lower. Liam Miller should not be needing any excuse or reason for not getting space, leaving his marker for dead, and playing good passing football.
He is also one of the most cowardly footballers I have witnesses in full time Premier League football. Some players are bad tacklers and you accept that.....Liam Miller is a coward in the tackle.....of that there is no doubt and today he proved it a few times again.

What is ridiculous is people thinking that because Miller has more ability than any of the other midfielders that he should get less criticism. When a player of pedigree shows nothing for weeks and weeks, fans are naturally going to find that frustrating and worthy of criticism.Last edited by Shrekko; 08-01-2011 at 10:11 PM.

I'm not saying he should get less criticism but I don't think he should get more.

The biggest mythical bit is that it's the same people who slag the talented ones that defend the scapegoats- it's nonsense. I've asked several times for folk to prove it's the same folk and nobody has ever delivered even 1 example.
Every single Hibs player has under performed this season barring perhaps Mark Brown. I find it bizarre that there's folk continually pedalling this stuff out, especially when you should arguably be expecting more from the big earners.

ones whilst defending the scapegoats. I don't see it and
people are turning it into a generalisation to support their assertion that it's only certain players you should slaughter IMO.
My concern is not so much who to slag but just where to turn to for a ray of hope. Collectively we are gutless and not too talented. I see little point in arguing over who should be singled out for the most abuse. But then again if folk want so discuss Liam Miller then it's absolutely not unfair to question his contribution without bringing other players into it. He's been very poor.

Liam Miller was totally gash against Ar Utd. Never at any moment controlled the midfield (against a 2nd division team).
Just as he was last week against Hearts.
I would call him Dick Turpin.
How many passes landed at an Ayr player - LOL
