Proof if ever what a change in manager can do..

[California-Hibs]

Strachan working with the same exact players as Levein, and the performances have been night and day!

Shows you what some tactics and attacking emphasis, along with allowing players to fully express themselves, will do for a team!

Fenlon need's to go, and make way for a more positive minded manager!

[AlbertK86]

Yep and I hope that Hertz w****r Levein wiz watchin

Hope Fenlon is on the phone to Strachan in the morning. Amazing what a team can do if they support each other in attack.

Hope he's on the plane to Dublin, without a return ticket. :agree:

Fenlon could watch that game a dozen times over yet still wouldn't be able to work out the game plan.

[Bishop Hibee]

Fenlon out! Unlike when he took over, we have a squad of decent players. He just can't get the anything out of them. Hope Petrie was watching.

[Shields Hibee]

Fenlon probably watched it & complained that Strachan didn't have the team punting balls up the field in hope. He may have even switched over in disgust at what he was seeing! Yes Pat, you watched a game of football and a team playing how the game is meant to be played.

Rod should be phoning Strachan in the morning asking if he wants the Hibs job, I would.

[Saorsa]

If you get the right one, then yes, unfortunately the person running our club....

Maybe I'm missing something but did Strachan not play with one up front and then go with two when we were 3-2 down with 5-10 mins to go?

But the midfield were all pretty attack minded, played with pace and supported the forward, you can play one up top if you have the support.

Exactly what I was thinking as I was watching, wish Strachan was Hibs manager! Can he do both?:wink:

[WestEndHibee]

And how enjoyable it was to watch! THAT is how a team should be, even though we lost, I had a great time, gutted about the result but I'll definitely be going to see Scotland again. It was fun to watch. Clubs should take notice.

Point taken however the 11 guys on the park seemed to know exactly their jobs unlike the Hibs players.

agreed. would have had a levein performance. infact fenlon is the irish levein

I wondered the same thing. I doubt it though...

That was essentially Levein's team last night though. Have we learned nothing from the Collins/Mowbray analogy?

:stirrer:

[jdships]

:agree:

[Borderhibbie76]

Was thinking the exact same watching last night, what a joy it was watching a team i support passing with pace and attacking! Forgot what that felt like...fenlon out!!!

[Beefster]

Fenlon could watch that game a dozen times over yet still wouldn't be able to work out the game plan.

He'd still be wondering how a midfield player got into the opposition half.

[lucky]

Aberdeen changed their manager and have had a positive response, 8000 ST sold and heading for a 20000 sell out against Celtic. Financially the board will realise that Hibs must do the same. Allowing PF is hang around is dragging us down.

[Hibercelona]

The thing I like most about Strachan is that even although we put on a good show, he still shows disappointment that we lost, despite the quality of player we were up against.

Strachans arrogant, but he has the right kind of arrogance that will see Scotland grow from strength to strength.

[Brightside]

proof that a 451 can be a decent attacking formation IF you let your midfield support the attack. Its a shame Fenlon has our team so **** scared to commit.

[brog]

We defended set pieces just like Hibs though! I'm a Strachan fan & was reasonably happy with last night but we shouldn't get carried away. If that had been Hibs we would have had plenty of complaints; blowing a lead twice, losing 2 set piece goals, not putting someone in to cover while our CB was off the park, playing a RB at LB while Mulgrew was on bench & bringing on Craig Conway, wtf! :wink:

[Brightside]

Miller should have been on the post for the corner. The free kick was obv missing the CB and not organising properly.

It was Whittaker who WAS on the post, he decided for some unknown reason to leave it and wander into the 6 yard box? :confused:

Ha...there you go then. An individual mistake. If he stays on the post he saves that.

[Saorsa]

it's proof what it can do not what it will doIt's proof what you can do if the right person gets the job. We've had umpteen changes and it hasnae made a blind bit of difference because 'somebody' at our club keeps choosing the wrong people. We are proof of what can happen when you keep giving the wrong person the job.

I'm not denying that but changing the manager does not guarantee anything. Comparing us to the Scotland team isn't comparable. No ones mentioning for example what a flop George Burley was for example. He had an attacking team with Hearts but was mince at international level..I'm just saying nowt is certain..and I agree with you re the person picking the manager

[Onion]

Picking the right manager is crucial to Hibs. Whoever was involved previously have failed miserably in the last 5 appointments.

Big believer in performance based rewards, so what I'd like to see is the pay for the individual/or group who appoints our next manager to be directly linked to the performance of the team (ie manager's performance). In fact maybe the whole Board should be paid on this basis.


Relegation - sacked immediately, no compensation
Bottom 6 - no pay whatsoever, they get nothing. This must be regarded as failure for a club of Hibs size , with no Huns/Yams etc
Top 6 - half salary
Top 3 - full salary
Win the League Cup - bonus
Win the S Cup - double salary
Win the SPL - knighthood and stand named after them

You get the idea......

Who would sign up sign up to that ? Well, IMHO the person(s) who knows they have the skills and confidence to put their money where their mouth is. If they're not prepared to sign up to that, then they are not involved in the appointment process at all.

[brog]

I saw that also but looked to me as if Whittaker spotted an unmarked player, he was pointing frantically, then decided to try & mark the man himself but got there too late. Whatever, it was shocking organisation, was Brown really meant to mark Lambert?? Looked to me like confusion all round.

Fenlon taking inspiration from Whittaker playing left back. :wink:

Aye and he performed quite well in that position too. :agree:

[Houchy]

I really like paddy as a person but think this is his downfall. I honestly think he could go forward in time, watch a whole match and still fail to set up properly.

[blackpoolhibs]

I can't believe Strachan did not pick Lewis Stevenson if we were that short?

Shows what a two footed defender can do, Mr Fenlon are you reading this, I said a two footed defender not one who uses his right foot for balance.
