Why Keatings would ever start infront of him is anyones guess

Was superb when he came on. Needs to start next week after that performance.

No idea why he is not getting a starting place. He changed the game when he came on and we actually looked like we could get something.

Been one of our best players all season.

Cost us 2 points not starting today

Hendo was terrific when he came on changed the game. Keatings was a passenger yet again.

Henderson was very good when he came on but the reason he didn't start is because he's had a few games in the role Keatings was playing and he wasn't great. Henderson should start next week though.

Said in the other thread. I'm a big fan of Keatings but he needs to play as a striker. There is no point playing him deeper it's like playing with ten men. It has been like that for weeks now.

Henderson to start please or drop Malonga back and start stokes and Cummings.

Keatings has been anonymous for five weeks now in that role. Needs changed. It was painfully obvious and the proof is the Change as soon as he came off

Think he's been off the boil lately but needs to start after that. As for Keatings, been unimpressed for a while.

Henderson has changed 2 games in 2 weeks when he's come on.

Should certainly start next week.

Spot on mate. I really like Keatings but same as you, as a Striker. That's his position. Off topic I liked the look of Dagnall today in the short time he was on. Worked hard, decent touch. Intersting now as it will be Cummings, Dom, Keatings, Stokes and Dagnall fighting for starts!

Dagnall looked the biz when he came on and was impressed what Sutton said about him (considering he has seen more of the English game than most of us have over the last few years).

In his two games in that position he scored 5 goals, I don't understand why he was ever taken out of that position.

Henderson is inconsistent and regularly poor when he starts.

In hindsight it never worked but I completely understand Stubbs thinking, imo people are being very selective with their memories here

:confused:

he probably our most creative player

Total disagree with Stubbs thinking - Keatings has contributed absolutely hee haw in about a month.....and today was probably his worst performance of the lot....id love to see stats on how often he kept possession

Must admit I've not been that impressed by him and wasn't even concerned he didn't start.

Having said that we were a different team after he came on today. Hope he kicks on come here.

Maybe fitness is a reason, looked very tired at times when he was playing every week. Was good when he came on and will hopefully start next week.

He had a virus a few weeks ago and he has struggled since. Maybe thats why he is only getting 45 mins. He certainly changed the games the last two weeks. If fit he must start.

This.

Always seem's to run out of gas toward's the end of a game when starting.

Brought a hunger and urgency that was desperately missing from our play previous to his introduction.

J-C
17-01-2016, 06:17 PM
I thought he was beginning to look tired and maybe Stubbs noticed too, a wee rest this past week or two seems to have revived him, very good when he came on today, changed the game.

I've always thought that Keatings would get goals playing behind a front two but was very disappointed in his apparent lack of effort today.He actually walked around in midfield,persistently lost the ball and rarely made any attempt to get it back.Very poor.

Roxyhibee

Said it before after first seeing him, Liam Henderson is a very high quality player and I love watching him in a Hibs jersey.

In case it has slipped the notice of a few saying he was running out of gas in recent games it's worth reminding again that the boy is still recovering from a pretty bad virus..

He's still only 19, got a couple of years of physical development to go, and yes, doesn't always make the right decision every time, but he is a superb footballer, mentally tough, with great vision - definite future Scotland player.

The lad is top quality, can be inconsistent but thats why he's here on loan, his vision and creativity is unrivalled in this Division IMO

I half agree with you mate, I would have dropped Malonga and played henderson instead.

If you're not a midfielder and get asked to play there it can be difficult. Dom's lethargy didn't aid the cause today either. Too often we also played lofted balls forward first half or rushed passes - for me Keatings should have been sticking left and giving Lewis an option when we got final third. Proper width was non existent first half.

Henderson played well when he came on today but as has been pointed out earlier he has struggled the last few matches he has started, possibly the rest has done him good...Keating's although being played slightly out of position is struggling to even control a pass or hit the ball clean, he had a half chance at the start which he totally scuffed, AS seems to be persevering with him for now which is detrimental to the teams performances.

Would start Stokes for Keatings and Henderson for McGinn next week - McGinn needs a rest.

Keatings looked as though he'd been introduced to a football for the first time today but you don't become a bad player overnight. Every player has his ups and downs and hopefully he'll recover his form soon.

Leith Mo

Might be wrong this time around so don't shoot me down on one wrong call if that's how it goes! Only saying what I've been told is in the talks. He's one of our own! 2 year deal. Before yous all get on my case I don't claim to be "ITK" only saying what I've heard and if I'm wrong then so be it.

I have no issue with someone not playing well but someone who is clearly hiding and not trying is not good enough.

For his sake I hope not. Celtic would not sell him at all.

It would have been ridiculous to drop Malonga. He was brilliant last week and has been scoring in recent weeks.

So was Dylan


Couple of year between them and Dylan was punted every year on loan, think he got peed off waiting for his chance, at the moment Henderson is still young but if he gets overlooked too often he'll start thinking like Dylan and want a move away to get game time.

Celtic fan who I know well said Celtic have high hopes for him but think he might struggle to make the grade there. They think his younger brother will be better.

FWIW, I'd take him here on a permanent in a heartbeat. There loss would be our gain IMO.

Thats just someone's wishful thinking mate, he's only 19, he'll have plenty of opportunity to make it at Celtic before he leaves, he isn't "one of our own" as such either, his Granda is/was a Hibby but he himself is a Celtic fan, he'll believe he is good enough, Celtic themselves gave him a Five Year contract the day they loaned him out to us so don't be fooled into thinking they don't believe in him.

Don't get me wrong I'd snap him up asap, I just thought he was very highly rated there and one for their future, if this isn't to be the case, try and sign him I say.

I think it very much depends on who the opposition is. Think they played together v Livingston at home and we created loads of chances. At Ibrox we had much less of the ball and the service they got was very poor IMO. I think it is as simple as Keatings form has dipped, time for a few weeks on the bench possibly making an impact late in games.

Agree they have just given him a long contract so absolutely no rush for them or him to move permanently. Maybe in a year or so's time if his status at Celtic hasnt changed.

Liam is a very good player and I'd like to see him in the team every week however I think we have recognise that he's only 19 and we have to be careful not to burn him out. It might well be that Stubbsie has agreed this with Celtic also.

All of our main midfielders (with the exception of Bartley and Thomson) are young and have had limited game time over the last 2 years - I think we are seeing a bit of fatigue in all of them which is why the performances have dropped a little over the last 4/5 weeks.

Spike Mandela
18-01-2016, 11:04 AM
Liam may have had a virus recently but I have felt you struggle to get 90mins out of him ever since he came here. Faded badly in games he has started so far imo.

Might be a stamina issue which I am sure can be improved, maybe has improved?
