Kamberi

[Heckys Wheel]

Switched the radio on when I got into the car after the game and somebody was talking about the Hibs game. He thought Kamberi put in a shift with tackles and movement as well as getting a goal and said he’s back to the form he showed last season.

Thoughts?

[Beefster]

I thought he worked hard. Nowhere near last season’s form though. Really needs to work on his first touch - ball seems to end up four yards away from him most of the time.

[AugustaHibs]

Honestly never seen somebody with such a poor first touch. I know he’s capable of better and I also think sometimes his heavy touch is intentional?

1) Was trying
2) His first touch was quite terrible today and some of the decision making wasn't good
3) Was pushed in the back all the time which didn't help

[SChibs]

I don't think he was called offside today which is progress

[blackpoolhibs]

What annoys me with him is the amount of times he's fouled but never gets them, yet he has the slightest touch on his man and he's pulled up and normally booked.

I think he must be totally frustrated with the standard of refereeing in Scotland.

[CapitalGreen]

Hopefully it won’t take PH long to realise he’s not a target man and is better suited to running the channels as opposed to playing with his back to goal.

[Callum_62]

First touch lacking although the pitch seemed awfully bobbly today

Put in a real shift though....keeps doing that and itl come good for him again

Much improved today but still only 60% of the player he was last season.

Yup, almost every single challenge in every game the defenders either have both hands on him pulling him back or down or alternatively he gets a hefty shove in the back throwing him off balance. Never gets a foul for it. I find it mystifying.

[JeMeSouviens]

Did he get a touch?

[Bobby's Cinema]

He is a really frustrating watch atm and has been all of this season. Can't fault his effort though.

I thought there was a noticeable improvement immediately after the pen to HT, buzzing around more, making sure of his touch and laying it off.

Maybe put out not getting the nod to take the pen and worried he's no longer the main man.

And despite that, the ref continually awarded free kicks against him, then warned Flo about persistent fouling. What an idiot.

TBH, Flo was distinctly average today. I'm not convinced he should be playing every match but we don't currently have a lot of options up front

[Forza Fred]

Ran his socks off.

Scored one and hit the bar.

The good thing is he CAN improve.

I’ve never seen a player that’s had a worse first touch. The ball comes off him faster than it arrives, it’s quite unbelievable how he ever managed to become a pro player. Having said that, I can’t remember him being like that last season, totally bizarre 😳

[Smartie]

I thought he did well.

Good, positive body language for a start.

Got a goal, held the ball up well at times and was generally busy and involved.

He's better for having McNulty up there with him, and with the midfield getting up in support his team-mates did a lot more to help him play well than they have done at times this season.

[B.H.F.C]

Signs of a partnership with McNulty I thought.

[Swedish hibee]

Thought that 1st goal Was his.

Correct. Unusually for continental forwards, Flo's not great at diving. He's too honest. He needs to watch dvds of Aberdeen players who collapse to the ground at the slightest touch. Then he might get free kicks when he's fouled.

seriously I know hes had a poor season compared to last but the worst touch you two have ever seen, couldn't have been watching hibs for long.

His first touch sends the ball at least a yard or more away consistently and I’ve been watching Hibs for 50 years. I did say it wasn’t like that last season so I know he can do better.

I saw that and thought it was one of the more ridiculous refereeing episodes I've seen at ER this season. In fact it immediately looked to me more like the referee excusing himself to the crowd for booking Kamberi at that incident by pretending he'd been fouling all over the pitch. Utter cobblers.

[Tyler Durden]

Thought that was his best game in months. Still had some desperately poor touches but looked sharper than he has in a while.

Very unlucky with the one he took down on his chest in the second half.

[Onion]

Gave 100% today but is low in confidence. Hopefully PH can get inside his head and bring out the Kamberi of last season.

[Eyrie]

Definitely looked more confident today.

There's a good player in there if he's given the right encouragement.

Based on the evidence this season you could almost be forgiven for thinking that shoving a player just before the ball arrives was actually now legitimate as long as the player you're shoving has a Hibs top on.

I'm genuinely gobsmacked by just how often it happens to our players without being called. I can understand how there are bemusing decisions when it's called for either backing in or climbing as there's a degree of interpretation and judgement required but shoving the player before the ball arrives is surely a straightforward foul no?

The confidence has been hammered out of him by Lennon did anyone notice that when he came off he got a big hug from Paul and Flo immediately gave him one back

I noticed vs Raith and in this game, a couple of times when the ball was pinged a long distance to him, he deliberately bounced it to another player, rather than trying to control it himself. I suspect that it's a workaround that's been worked on in training to mitigate the issue.

[hibbydad]

I am telling the truth Boom town hibby the lad is only 22 already I see better man management from Paul
