I agree with you. Slivka has it just isn’t consistent enough. Mallon lacks control and is poor as a defensive mid. He needs to play further forwards as his main weapon is his shooting abilityThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

In my humble opinion Mallan is a very good footballer I appreciate he couldn't tackle a fish supper but other features of his game are top notch .I can remember a number of Hibs players who couldn't tackle Willie Hamilton my favourite Hibs player being one . Mallan is a young guy who I'm sure will improve given time .I can't believe people saying he was abysmal yesterday

This a red herring when judging his ability to score against any team above the 3rd bottom slot in the Scottish Premiership.
He scored
4 of our 12 goals against amateurs Runavic of the Faroe Islands
4 of our 12 in 3 games against Hamilton(2), St Mirren(1) & Dundee(1)
2 goals in the cup against lower league teams Elgin(1) & Ross County(1).
That leaves 1 goal scored against Kilmarnock on the 15th September 2018.
Since his early scoring spree opposing teams appear to have stopped giving away free kicks just outside their box and have made sure Mallan has been closed down from 25 yards in. As a result his goals from free kicks and shots have all but dried up and he appears powerless to overcome this.Last edited by CMurdoch; 17-02-2019 at 05:37 PM.

Our other joint top scorer has scored most of his goals v Icelanders, bottom 3 and lower league teams too. Tends to be the way it is at a club like Hibs.
I think you’re being overly harsh now.

Since about the start of December he's been played consistently in the middle of the park and lo and behold, his consistency has improved.
Even Slivka's harshest critics would have to accept that he's been consistent over the past dozen games - games home and away and against the weaker and stronger teams in the league.
He's risen to the challenge.
