Fraser Fyvie

[Unseen work]

Feel like he adds a massive bit of quality to this hibs team.

Always looking for the ball and gets it moving quick. Isn't afraid to play a forward pass into an area for the strikers too

Ran the show against falkirk.

Keep doing this to the end of the season and it will help us drastically for promotion.

[DirtyDeeds]

Big Fyvie fan but he was abysmal today. Physically gets about the park well and never hides, but distribution and ball retention was so bad today. I think hes still hugely under appreciated by the majority of Hibs fans though overall.

Fyvie's absence for the past 8 or 10 weeks has been one of the main reasons why our overall form has dipped IMO!

[truehibernian]

Needs to sharpen up his passing, three times he lost possession a la Ibrox - agree, quality player but needs to concentrate more on his passing in the defensive half.

[Irish_Steve]

I`ve seen milk turn quicker.

He wasn't abysmal but his short passing today was at points frustrating

Yeah have to agree. Not his best game today. Worked hard but too many stray passes. Thought the whole midfield(apart from big marv) were below par today.

GGTTH

[Scooter]

I thought he was excellent today. Yeah a few missed placed passes but overall I thought he was great

[Unseen work]

I would bet the majority of players give it away more than Fyvie.

:agree: I couldn't agree more. We have missed him big time these past 2 months and his absence was not merely coincidental to our abysmal form during that time.

[GreenArmy1875]

The whole team apart from Bartley and Logan were pretty rank. We went through because of these 2 guys bailing us out. Overall we looked slow and predictable in our play and not at it today.
We got through though and that's all that matters but we were terrible today

[hibsbollah]

Not his best game today at all. Only Marvin played well from our midfield. on an unrelated matter, Fyvie also seems to be morphing into Nick Rhodes out of Duran Duran circa 1981 with every passing day.

I'd say more Thompson Twins bollah

[hibbymick]

Was it just me or did anyone else think the pitch was slowing the ball down. I felt a lot of passes were falling short of their intended target.

[hibsbollah]

I'd say more Thompson Twins bollah

No way! 'This is planet earth, awww, you're looking at planet earth Ababa Baba ba baba...'

I've been drinking.

[Tom Hart RIP]

Fraser is a very good young player and signing him was a fantastic piece of business. He's still a youngster and will improve with experience I expect him to get Scotland call up in next couple of years

[MWHIBBIES]

Best player on the park for an hour.

['mon the beers]

He had a decent shot first half but a pretty poor game overall. Big Marv was the only stand out in midfield today. A lot of the game passed Fyvie by, he under hit a ball over the top by about 10 yards which summed his game up IMO

[bingo70]

Can't make up my mind about Fyvie, I think we really missed him when he was out and at times I think he looks a class apart......... Then there's the flip side to that, at times he is really careless with the ball and seems really lazy.

I think he's still pretty young and Its easy to forget that, his career could go either way IMO.

[Sergey]

On the walk-out to the pitch, Fyvie gobbed 'a decent mouthful' into the tunnel area.

Why?

[greenpaper55]

He was always available to take a pass but nine out of ten times he gave it away, needs to sharpen up.

[Eyrie]

I'm another that thought he played well, although there were a couple of misplaced passes that on another day would have cost us.

[belhavenbill]

Played 3 games in a week after a long lay off so think he was running on empty by the end. Would probably have been taken off if that nonsense with El Alagui hadn't happened. I like Fyvie but it wasn't his greatest game.

[lucky]

Best player on the park for an hour.

Spot on. The boys a player but like the rest of thr team he can't do 90 minutes but he's a cracking player

[O'Rourke3]

Was it just me or did anyone else think the pitch was slowing the ball down. I felt a lot of passes were falling short of their intended target.

Yip. I think it influenced a couple of moves.

[Famous Fiver]

He is just back from a pretty horrible injury. Two games in four days, the second a stamina sapping 120 minutes on a newly relaid pitch against a team which flooded the midfield and there are some on here picking fault with him.

He is in my team every day of the week.

[Bronson]

Gives the ball away far too often for my liking, not a huge fan.

[SJM]

He's one of our best players. Done as well as he could.

[Billy Whizz]

He was out for 2 months, of which he wasn't allowed to run for 6 weeks or so. He's now played 3 games in a week on his comeback, it was understandable that he would tire, but it's good to get an important player back in the team

[MWHIBBIES]

Gives the ball away far too often for my liking, not a huge fan.Would you prefer someone totally invisible? McGinn perhaps?

[BSEJVT]

I don't think the midfield were as bad as people are making out.

I do think though that they are all running on empty, except big Marvin who is a machine.

When you get tired your touch and weight of pass goes.

I saw them get into some pretty good positions and then over run or miss control or misplace a pass.

It doesn't help that they usually have only one person to pick out running into the box.

I would argue that David Gray was even more wasteful with the ball.

Most of that team have not been regular starters at other clubs and have played more games this season than at any point in the careers and it's showing big time and has been for a good few weeks now.

If we hadn't had so many injuries or hadn't lost form so badly, a lot of these guys would have been rested by now and would look better for it.

[wookie70]

Very good first half but fell away after that and some very poor passes. Off the ball he was excellent throughout

[KWJ]

Big Fyvie fan but he was abysmal today. Physically gets about the park well and never hides, but distribution and ball retention was so bad today. I think hes still hugely under appreciated by the majority of Hibs fans though overall.

Agree. He always shows for the ball but as I said on the player ratings, his OPTA stats must have been absolutely brutal today.

Had a great game, if you don't count when he had the ball!

[lucky]

For me he's outstanding for an hour but unfortunately he does not that the stamina for the final 30 minutes

[gaz1875]

Fyvie and Bartley covered every blade of grass today, maybe the final ball was poor on occasions but he gave his all :thumbsup:

[wookie70]

For me he's outstanding for an hour but unfortunately he does not that the stammer for the final

Not sure what he says will matter in the final as long as he is fit.

[penihibs]

He was always available to take a pass but nine out of ten times he gave it away, needs to sharpen up.

Best comment on this.
His distribution was horrendous.
But always will give a young guy benefit of the doubts.

[Marco G]

Every player gave all they had and that is why we are in the final! I thought Fyvie was excellent considering he is not long back. When you are being pressed its easy enough to give the back away, but he kept right on it and covered, like all the midfield, an awful lot of ground over 120 minutes. Time to give credit to him and the whole team for a great outcome.

[DH1875]

Tend to agree and with a fully fit squad to chose from, wouldnt get near my starting 11.

[Pete]

:agree:

...and it's very easy to forget how young our midfielders are.

Fyvie had one or two stray passes but he needs decent movement and people to show for him as well so I wouldn't describe his overall distribution as horrendous.

Rasping strike on him.

[Forza Fred]

He is just back from a pretty horrible injury. Two games in four days, the second a stamina sapping 120 minutes on a newly relaid pitch against a team which flooded the midfield and there are some on here picking fault with him.

He is in my team every day of the week.

I can only comment on what I see,

Only saw second half, and during that time Fyvie mis passed the ball numerous time

Possibly any other team than Dundee United would have punished us for that

[marinello59]

Tend to agree and with a fully fit squad to chose from, wouldnt get near my starting 11.

Id have a fully fit Fyvie pencilled in to every starting eleven, A decent modern footballer.

[green day]

Yep, no coincidence that our midfield with him and Bartley on good form looks solid.

[Danderhall Hibs]

How many are lining up to taking his place?

I'd have him in the team every week - he gives the ball away at times, when Scott Allan done that last year it was ok though cos he was "trying something".

[Jim44]

On the walk-out to the pitch, Fyvie gobbed 'a decent mouthful' into the tunnel area.

Why?

Pig ignorance.

[Nicho87]

I like fyvie, but watch the game back an see how many times he passes straight to opposition. It was awful.

[weecounty hibby]

I thought he payed well and worked his arse off. All players give the ball away from time to time. Him and big Marv were both excellent on my opinion

[Danderhall Hibs]

I like fyvie, but watch the game back an see how many times he passes straight to opposition. It was awful.

He was trying something.

[Nicho87]

He was trying something.

I worked that one out by myself, but sadly his passing yesterday was no where near its best

[Danderhall Hibs]

What about the other Scott Allan favourite then - the others weren't on his wavelength and made him look bad?

[21.05.2016]

i thought he started ok yesterday but tired very quickly. Had a shocker in the second half, far to many lazy passes.

[Nicho87]

What about the other Scott Allan favourite then - the others weren't in his wavelength and made him look bad?

I get what your saying but if you watch the full game back you will see a good few passes go straight to a united player, sorry

[Danderhall Hibs]

I know mate he did lose the ball a few times (not as many as some are saying). I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of some.

I know that with Oxley being out the side (presumably) we need someone to blame, unfortunately for Fraser it's him.

What a load of garbage. People can comment on someone's performance without 'blaming' them for anything.

He gave the ball away far too much yesterday. And as for your reference to Oxley, what a difference having a goalie that actually makes saves eh?

Him and bartley in there though worked well on occassions to breakdown attacks. Need their engines for the final and rest of season. Big players for us.

[RoYO!]

Would you prefer someone totally invisible? McGinn perhaps?

Like when he took that penalty?! :)

It never comes across like that.

No denying the keeper was excellent yesterday - I can't remember the last time a team had that many strikes on goal vs us and he down well to stop them.

[MWHIBBIES]

Like when he took that penalty?! :)Fyvie was much better during the 120 minutes though and if Jason wasn't a ****ing moron it wouldn't have got to penalties.

[Pretty Boy]

I thought Fyvie was our best player for 35 minutes or so. After that he was clearly frustrated at the lack of movement in front of him and was starting to try passes that weren't really on to make something happen. He reall started to 'struggle' when Mixu changed Utds shape and we didn't adapt at all. He also worked his bollox off when we didn't have the ball.

I was a bit baffled on the players ratings thread that people were scoring McGinn and Henderson equal or higher to Fyvie. He was better than both of them yesterday both on and off the ball.

[DH1875]

I'd have him in the team every week - he gives the ball away at times, when Scott Allan done that last year it was ok though cos he was "trying something".

Would depend on the formation but if we were going with the diamond then Marvin, Dylan, John and Liam would all start ahead of him for me.

[LancsHibs]

Thought FF was great for us yesterday, thought him, Marv, the big keeper & Stokesy deserved special mentions.

[overdrive]

I'm not usually Fyvie's biggest fan. Gives the ball away and is painfully slow in both body and mind.

However, I thought he was decent yesterday. Only Bartley was better in the midfield.

[jimhfc1]

Gives the ball away far too often for my liking, not a huge fan.

Couldnt agree more, his decision making at times is shocking

[Hibby Bairn]

Barely won a game since Fyvie got injured. Just pointing this out.

First clean sheet since 21st Feb yesterday. Again just pointing out.

Obviously more than Fyvie at influence here. But we are a better team with Fyvie and Hanlon down the spine.

[keep the faith]

The reason people are picking up about a couple of misplaced passes is because he had so much of the ball. He demands the ball and tries things.
The odd one doesnt come off but his overall contribution yesterday was way more than some other celebrated others in our team.
Frazer is a huge player for us.

Couldn't agree more, Fyvie is very important to how Stubbs wants to play, there is a reason Stubbs put him right in the team when he joined and has never taken him out.

Absolutely agree all about favourites with the point scoring. The guy behind me kept shouting about how bad he was and never once criticized Henderson or McGinn who gave the ball away equally as much and had half as many touches. Probably tried too many world cup passes but he tried that's for sure.
