Despite the disapointment of not getting the win, that was the most I have enjoyed a game at ER for a long time. The first half was a joy to watch and whilst the 2nd was not as good it was stiil a great game. Some fantastic interplay between Deek, Stokes, Zouma and Miller. Great goal and amazing bits of skill from the wee man. Miller had a great game and is looking like he's going to be a big player for us.

Benji was the only disapointment IMO, fell asleep for the goal! If only we had taken the chances in the 1st half or Deek hadn't done a Van Vossen impression in the 2nd.

a good crowd too, hopefully they'll all be back for the Killie game.

[Bob Box Fish]

Agreed, why did JH not taken Benji off when we were getting pounded st the start of the second half it was obvious a goal was coming.

Good first half but should have killed them off. Balance of the team needs fixing some of the slack passing between defence and midfield was horrendous at times .

[matty_f]

I really enjoyed the game today - first half was really good, IMHO. That was a million miles from the football served up last year, and we really could have given United a proper humping today.

For me the only disappointment was that we didn't get the three points we (IMHO) deserved.

[Capt Mainwaring]

I think most people coming out of the ground today were disapointed with 2 points dropped but happy with the performance. That's two good games in a row now. If we keep up that level of consistency then we have good season to look forward to.

For me the turnaround is due to (1) Zemamma (2) a settled defence (3) Miller and McBride setting into an effective combination in midfield.

It looking good :thumbsup:

[sadtom]

We are begining to look like a proper fitba team. Some great stuff today, especially given the conditions. Dominated 1st half against one of the stronger teams in the league and i'd say pretty eaksy peaksy 2nd. Should have won it but hey ho, i'm just pleased to see the ball being knocked about with a bit of style.
Miller looks a class act and McBride impresses me every week. If there is a more skillful player in the league than Zizu i aint seen him.

:agree: He's the most skilful player in the SPL as far as I'm concerned and I don't think he would look out of place in the Premiership and I don't mean for Hull or Portsmouth.

He's certainly the most exciting player that I've ever seen at Easter Road.

[MyJo]

totally agree with everything said already, i decided befire the game that i'd be happy to draw todays game against our direct opponents for third but we definately lost 2 points today because we were excellent for the majority of the match and i came away dissapointed but thoroughly entertained.....well done hibs and yogi

Yes indeed.

Can't remember a player with such skill in his feet. United couldn't deal with him in the first half and resorted to kicking him in the second.

He's going to be a Hibs legend.

[Sir David Gray]

I did (although I was quite young) and as good as he undoubtedly was for Hibs, I would probably place Zemmama just ahead of Latapy.

The guy is sheer and utter class.

I'd like to think that any bid for him in January would be turned down, unless it was stupid money, but I really can't see him being with us next season, unfortunately. :boo hoo:

I think he will give us our biggest transfer fee ever. The only thing that MIGHT stop him from going for more than Scott Brown is that he will only have a year left on his contract by the time next summer comes. I would still be looking for around £4 million for him, though.

[The Harp Awakes]

2 points dropped but very good performance from Hibs. Really pleased with our defence today as well which restricted Dundee United to a few shots on target all game. Zemamma really is something special and we've now got many players in the team who are comfortable on the ball. The momentum is beginning to build and things are looking good:dizzy:

[Hank Schrader]

Zemmama was fantastic today but as far as the Latapy comparison goes, he doesn't come close too Russell, Latapy was the most skillful player I have seen in a Hibs jersey.

Zoomer has been brilliant in the last couple of games and he tore Dundee Utd a new ******** today. I just hope we can hang onto him for as long as possible.

[Thecat23]

I'd like to think Hibs can keep him for another season, he really is a great player and some of the things he does with the ball it's fantastic to watch! :agree:

[crash]

Everyone worked harder than we are used to seeing from Hibs. Zemamma getting a start has been the catalyst for the improved performance. He is a joy to behold and his skills are what will bring fans through the turnstiles. (Over to you Mr. Petrie)

[Bishop Hibee]

Good game today in difficult conditions. Zemmama's performance in the first half was outstanding. Utd couldn't cope and if our forwards had attacked some of the crosses he put in the game would have been over by half time.

Benji had a decent game today but was our worst player IMO. (Suppose that shows how well we played when our worst player was still pretty decent.) He was, however, at fault for the goal for day dreaming and not picking up the United player about 5 yards outside the box who then hit an unchallenged shot.

I thought we were different class yesteerday, should have been 3 points and IMO should have subbed Zemmama,Benji and Stokes later on.I didnt think Stokes was doing it, Benji had a great game but tired later on, should have came off with about 20 mins remaining.I thought Benji and Zemmama kept trying to take on too many players instead of giving the easy pass.Great game our passing was good our movement was good,just a pity to see Deeks losing the ball so often running into defenders,still had a good game though.Its been a while in coming but with all the players putting in a shift and back tracking when needed things are looking good for the rest of the season.

Brillian entertainment yesterday it's just a pity we didn't capitalise on the chances that were created.

You can almost sense that something could happen everytime our flair players are on the ball. Roll on the next game!

What a difference from last season when the football and general atmosphere was absolutely dire.

I also have a feeling that the squad will continue to improve under Yogi's guidance so for once we can all look forward with some optimism.

Very strange! :rolleyes:

I found mine yesterday to be absolutely delicious if a tad hot when received! :wink:

Settled my hunger pangs and I enjoyed the game, particularly the first half when we really should have had the game beyond Utd. :agree:

However, they put an extra man in midfield second half and pressed us higher up the pitch making it more difficult for us to continue to dominate as we did in the first half!

However.........how the f*** did Deek miss THAT one in the second half from within the 6 yeard box!? :confused:

[fife hfc]

I really enjoyed yesterdays game and thought we played some great football against a very good SPL team. I think the wind played a major part in how we dominated the first half and why Utd had the better of the first 15 mins of the second half.

But we certainly got better after utd lifted it and had the better chances. As for Utds goal I'm not going to blame anybody as it was a decent strike (though if he tried it again he would probably blast it over). I have no doubt if we play like that we will win more than we lose and it will be a very enjoyable season.

Zoumas got a fair way to go before he's in Latapy's league. Consistency being a key one and the killer pass. Quick feet he's nearly a match but for Russ he had the touch, experience and intelligence to walk around players. Zouma still has the pace and youth on his side.

[ahibby]

I agree with Fraser Bob that Benji was indeed our worst player. I thought the midfield gave the shooter far to much room and a goal was inevitable. I don't know and can't fathom why Yogi did not use one sub. I appreciate that we didn't have any better on the bench than was on the park but I do think that Nish is more aware of the SPL game than Benji and that substitution should have been made with fifteen twenty remaining. Legs must have been tired and Nish for Benji and Galbraith for Stokes or Riordan might have given us a better advantage later on with them going down a player. So I'm left scratching my head about us not using subs and Benji staying on for the full game but fairly happy that I have seen Hibs playing well two games in a row (says it all). Two final points I'm not sure about the referees impartiality or maybe he just wasn't very good. I thought Dundee Utd are the dirtiest team I have seen so far in that I lost count of the number of occasions they brought our players down of the ball and got away with it. The match officials need to clamp down on that.

[MB62]

Excellent game, £21.50 well spent from my point of view.
Ok, we didn't pick up the three points and from a biased Hibs opinion, I would say we deserved it over the 90 minutes, Utd probably feel they did enough 2nd half to deserve their point.

Last season I watched Hibs beat Hamilton 2-0 at ER and thought it was a complete load of rubbish, Saturday, only drawing, was a great game and I can't wait to get myself back to ER for the next game. Performances like that is what puts bums on seats and it has just encouraged the whole Burns family to start going back on a regular basis.

Liam Miller and Zouma are worth paying the money to watch alone but Hibs have plenty other football players in the ranks and if they keep up the workrate, we will not be far away from 3rd at the end of the season.

I too thought Benji was the one player who could/should have been hooked after an hour as he seemed lost. The amount of times he was in a shouting match with the bench in the 2nd half, I would suggest the manager was not all that impressed either, but he lasted the 90 minutes so maybe he wasn't all that bad. I feel it was a strange position he was asked to play and maybe it will take him time to get used to it. The guy has all the ability in the world and maybe just needs game time and time to settle in to the team.

Anyway, that was more like Hibernian and the kind of football I want to pay to watch. Well done to ALL the players on Saturday for both ability and work rate, WHAT A DIFFERENCE.
