I think pretty much all of us agree that our midfield is looking in better shape since the January reinforcements, but what is our best combination?
Personally, I think Marcondes in 10 role offers a huge amount of offensively, but what do we need behind him? How do we get the best setup of runners, tacklers and distributers in our engine room?
I think we've actually, in theory, probably got one of the best collection of midfielders outwith the OF. Arguably, I'd think that any of Newall, Moriah-Welsh, Amos and Levitt (despite his faults being exposed in a 2) would walk into any of SPFL team's starting lining up
Thoughts?

As long as they all stay fit I reckon it will pretty much be Newell, NMW and Marcondes as our starting 3 for the rest of the season
But great to have options there for making any necessary changes. Didn’t really get the point in NMW going off again yesterday

Welsh Newell Emi is as good as mid 3 as we’ve had for a long long time. Emi for me is possibly the best footballer we’ve seen in a hibs top. Hes actually slowing down his game to fit with us.

Since
His footballing brain is exceptional. A better Boozy imo and that is some going.

I liked the way he took his goal against Aberdeen and the effortless way he drifts past players and picks out a pass
I was in the Club Shop last week and there were two Danish tourists buying a Hibs top with his name on the back to them he was a hero
I had to point out he has Emiliano above his number as the guy had set up Marcondes

I don’t want to blame it on Amos but we definitely wobbled a bit yesterday when Moriah-Welsh went off, before getting it together again.
It was good to see Newell in a midfield with a bit more help for him. It actually defies belief that we’ve played a 442 with only Newell and Levitt in the midfield for so much of this season. It looked miles better yesterday.

Yesterday’s team is our current best XI for me.
I was previously of the opinion that Hanlon was a better partner for Fish but Rocky did well yesterday so probably edges that one.
Leaves a bit of quality on the bench too.

Emi will never have an arse the size of McGinn’s.
We’re doing SJM a great disservice not taking into consideration his greatest asset.

Rather have Scott Allan at his best based on what we've seen this far. Although I know it's early and he's not fully fit yet.

McGinn's biggest attribute was never his technically ability, although it's improved at Villa. I'd argue that Scott Allan technically was superior to McGinn.

The head flick to Vente was absolutely sublime and allowed Vente to set up Moalida for the 2nd, Emi is pure class.

The three who played yesterday are the best balanced midfield we’ve had in ages. I think Amos will be an asset as well although I thought bringing him on when we did was a sub for the sake of a sub.

Marcondes has done ok so far, nothing more. I’m sure he can play much much better, hopefully we’ll seen that soon as he gets on the same wavelength as some of his team mates
