Liam Miller

[Liam89]

I don't know if it was just me but did anyone else see the old first half of last seasons Liam Miller?

He took his goal superbly and was linking up with deeks brilliantly.

[lucky]

He played well when he played further forward. He is not a sitting midfielder he is an attacking one and only got to play in that position when Nish went off and Stephens came on.

[Winston Ingram]

He was excellent today

[Kevvy1875]

Yep, he looked really good today. My MoM capped off with the winning goal.

Deeks played well today also but left the shooting boots at home today methinks...snatched at a great late chance and had another couple which he could have done better with. Other than that he was excellent.

most of the team were decent. Nish as usual had everything bouncing off him and Spoon should have been on earlier in place of him tbh. De Graff????....hardly seen him.

[blackpoolhibs]

He was excellent today

:agree:

[M11BMO]

Exactly my thoughts. I thought he was outstanding. His footballing brain is far superiour to any other player we have.

Oh yes, i did enjoy his celebration. :greengrin

What was his celebration. I missed the game

I thought Miller and McBride both had decent games when on the ball, their passing was better and I'm sure I even caught McBride dribbling through the Motherwell defence and testing their goalkeeper in the first half.

If Miller and De Graaf can both add five or so goals to their game then it'll greatly improve our overall play. The only real deficiency in our attack before was that we became too reliant on Stokes and Riordan doing something special, isolating them up top us our midfield morphed into a static backline. More bodies making late runs and creating space can only help everyone at Hibs.

Today exemplified our best and worst qualities. Even though Motherwell dominated territorially in the first half we created the two best chances because, unlike the majority of the SPL, we have a genuine cutting edge. On the other hand we still defend like a bunch of strangers, we don't press in packs like Motherwell did to good affect and we have players that are still prone to panicking under pressure. Thankfully these are all self-inflicted and thus if we work on it we will improve.

In the meantime I reserve the right to stain my pants every time a cross comes into our box.

Haha, Class :thumbsup:

[HibbyAndy]

Riordan's cross for Hanlon anyone?..Not many players in our League that can whip in a delivery like that.

I wear pink frilly underwear and I love you Derek Riordan.

Absolutely bang on..one more of the advantages of a "Nishless" Hibs team imo.

We played some lovely stuff in the last half hour.

He got a talking too by the police after the game for that celebration...and all that man hugging will get the Yam gay radar all steamed up :wink:

Nah great to see a player of that standard...a) at Hibs b) still loving the game and showing playing means something...

i thought he was shocking and hid behind his marker against maribor but i agree he was excellent today, looked great going forward and great goal:thumbsup:more of the same Liam.

deeks will never jump that high:wink:

[fife hfc]

Miller was superb today and as said earlier he had a poor game against maribor but back to his old self today. I feel that he needs to impose himself more as he has the ability and sometimes quite happy to blend in when he should be running the show.

Is that you Wull in the check shirt?

:agree: He not only climbed the wall but took as much enjoyment in scoring the goal as the Hibs fans took of watching it. He was fair chuffed. :greengrin

[LEaston87]

best i have seen him play since the 5-1 hamilton game at easter road, he was different class that day

Aye andy it sure is mate.:agree:
bryan wi the black T.shirt on and andy mcneils cousin paul in the yellow top..:thumbsup:

Miller was our best player the day, no worries. Good to see him put a performance in and lets hope he is back to the form he showed 1st half of last season.

I wasn't at the match yesterday ( I was at the 6-6 though:boo hoo:) but I just watched the highlights and it's great to see Liam playing well again. He was outstanding for the first half of last season and probably my favourite player. He always got stuck into the tackles and usually came away with the ball. His passing was visionary and he looked like he was enjoying his football.

You can tell how much it meant to him to be back playing well from his reaction when he scored. :thumbsup:

[richard_pitts]

Problem was he hadn't played a full season for a long time, and understandably tired towards the mid-end of last season. I think it's going to be fun this season, especially if he plays as the one in a 3-4-1-2 where he did so well for Celtic. :greengrin

[Miller33]

He was fantastic yesterday, ran the show, delighted to see him at his best again, lets hope it continues as, when on his game, he is clearly our best player!

[john18722]

He did have a fantastic game yesterday. His close control was excellent and had very good link up play, particularly with Riordan and a very well taken goal.

[allezsauzee]

Liam, just like Deek plays his best football linking up with Stokes in the last 3rd rather than playing in his own half. When we stopped trying to pass our way through Motherwell and got the 3 of them further up the field we looked a totally different team. We need to get the 3 of them tied to Hibs for along as possible. Get it sorted Rodders!
