Stokes has done nothing to warrant being started over Murray. Other than that happy with the team.

[Allant1981]

decent team out today, and a decent enough bench, would like to have seen murray start but hopefully can come on and run them ragged

[Billy Whizz]

Stokes has done nothing to warrant being started over Murray. Other than that happy with the team.

Big game player
Looks matching up with Celtic 433

[Diclonius]

We should be playing 3 at the back against Celtic and Stokes up front over the in form Murray suggests he us untouchable. That's an odd team.

[WillowbraeHibby]

Would rather have seen Murray start. Suppose Lenny knows best???

[Allant1981]

why would you play 3 against 1 striker?

[Pretty Boy]

Think the plan is to try and push their full backs back and limit their attacking influence. If they play out from the back then Stokes has to drop in a hassle Brown as often as he can. Frees up the midfield to limit the options he has.

[Zazu62]

I think Lennon thinks that is his strongest team although McGregor and Gray could get in the team and not weaken it.

[Albanian Hibs]

Wouldnt have dropped Murray.

[sauzee=legend]

4231 from Celtic v our 433 with possession and 451 without.
Try keep Boyle and Barker high and wide to keep their full backs defending.
We did that in the second half at Hampden and then we got more into the game!

[adhibs]

Stokes was excellent at parkhead and fully committed. Same effort today and its the correct decision.

[JohnMcM]

That's how it needs to be imo. Just hope Stokes will put the shift in today we know he can.

Murray coming off the bench against a tiring defence appeals to me.

:flag:

[SChibs]

Looks like 4-2-3-1 to me.
Bartley and mcgeouch sitting with mcginn playing further forward between boyle and barker. Playing him high up was effective at Celtic park

Hopefully he doesn’t start the game like a primary school bairn with his hands up his sleeves again.....

[cabbageandribs1875]

[TheGreenMan]

Playing stokes up front on his own

Done it at Parkhead and his hold up and link up play was quality. Key is getting good balls into his feet and not lumping hopeful percentage balls.

[660]

Playing stokes up front on his own

Aye ok

[Pretty Boy]

I'd be telling Boyle and Barker to stick a couple of crosses right on top of Gordon early doors. He's not the bravest when it comes to coming for crosses so would be good to put a bit doubt in his head early on.

[Hibee87]

Stokes is the better player. Murray imo lat few games has gave away the ball when his back is to goal and first touch been a little poor. Not saying stokes has been great but his hold up game is better. Cant see why anyone is tht suprised at the team.
I expected 1 up top and on his day stokes is our best player. And it normally turns out his day is the big occasion

[johnbc70]

Time for Stokes to show us why we signed him.

[Northernhibee]

Time for Stokes to show us why we signed him.

And in every game after that too, for what it's worth.

[cabbageandribs1875]

gie the baw tae reilly :flag: mon the cabbage

[wookie70]

Brave team from Lennon. He was always playing Stokes in the hope he will have a Cup Final type game. If we go with Boyle and Barker more as wingers than midfielders we run the risk of being out the game before it begins. Barker and Stokes will need to have far better games when we don't have the ball. That worries me and I would rather have Simon M and his energy to stop Celtic building from the back

In my 40 years of watching Hibs, I can't remember us ever beating Celtic convincingly. I know there's been the 3-1 game, etc. but they're always scrappy affairs with the odd brief passage of decent play.

The last match at Parkead was about the best I've seen us play against them.

We dominated them in one game, 0-3 or 1-3 when David Murphy scored IIRC.

[Pretty Boy]

I'm going against the grain and saying tactically we aren't far off being right here. It's crap to watch but it's about cotainment and frustration and when we don't do anything daft it's working.

As the game opens up in the 2nd half we'll get a chance or 2.

[Hibrandenburg]

We're lucky to be going in level at half time. Celtic's best chances have come from us playing square passes across our own goal. We're obviously looking to catch them on the break because every time we get the ball it's full steam ahead. We need to play the ball around a bit when in possession and try opening them up a bit. Our ball retention is poor and passing slack. Whittaker looks off the pace with celtic running everything on our right side. We're better than what we've shown in the first half, I just hope we can up our game down the (imaginary) slope. C'mon the Hibees!

[Kavinho]

Some slack ambrose passes/choices have given them their best chances.

We've had a let off on a couple of occasions, but otherwise id say we're playing decently.

[renato]

Tin hat on but i feel we needed (and still need) Simon Murray on as a focal point, particularly for putting their centre halves under more pressure. I’d move Stokes out to the left personally.

Tactically almost perfect so far but we need that focal point and we must be more agressive and braver in the final 3rd - we can hurt them here.

[Hibrandenburg]

It's not at all pretty but for all the possession Celtic have had they haven't done anything with it unless we've handed them the chance.

:agree:

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

For his own credibility the ref has have a word with Brown and remind him who is in charge.

[Heisenberg]

Brown getting away with as many fouls as he wants as usual. We have been slack at times and but for extremely poor finishing could be 2 down.

[PeeJay]

Hibs working hard at closing the Celtc "threat" down. We will tire as the game progresses though and the stupid mistakes we make will be punished eventually ... our threat is non existent and if our only chance of scoring is from the few standards we win, then maybe we should have worked on them before turning up this afternoon, so far they have all been completely wasted - not impressed. It's not enough to just contain them - we don't look cohesive in any way going forward, just when "defending" ... if they score first, it will be game over

One thing about the other side having better players but where one side forgets the basics it makes it easier.

[cabbageandribs1875]

so dissapointing


but mark my words, we WILL win another home game this season

[Jim44]

Boyle doing well on the touch line near their corner flag but loses it and they score within a few seconds. Their speed is too much for most teams.

[GreenLake]

Lots of fortune in that goal too. Nothing unusual.

[IGRIGI]

Whittaker is past it I'm afraid, ripped up for arse paper today.

[Heisenberg]

Absolutely got what we deserved, sitting in scared playing like it’s Barca we are up against. ****ing joke, now he has to change it because it’s simply not good enough. Anyone who thought we can sit in for 90 mins clearly hasn’t watched Celtic.

Went toe to toe with them in the cup and got pumped 4-2. They are a better team than us by a country mile.

[Lago]

Games a bogey now, why let them run at you, they foul we let them run.

[Aldo]

We will need to up our game for Wednesday!

FFS - is it beyond Whittaker to put a foot in to try and get the ball - he basically escorted the Septic-player along the edge of the box !!

[Sylar]

Time to turn it off.

Players haven’t turned up at all. They’re nothing special, but neither are we. Rangers won’t be coming on Wednesday with any fear.

[Pretty Boy]

I'm not shocked by this and expected it.

Celtic are better than many want to acknowledge and we aren't at the level some believe.

[renato]

Gift, gift and gift again. We’ll struggle to keep pace with the sheep until we can cut out these silly individual mistakes.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Steven Whittaker is past it

yup, and he managed to wrangle a 3 year contract....scary

[Joe6-2]

Just give it a real go, instead of running scared, and get Whittaker to f***

[neil7908]

I thought Whittaker got some unfair stick earlier in the season but he was embarrassing for both goals. Sinclair also got past him with ease earlier in the game with Marciano only saving his blushes block blocking when 1 on 1.

He worst part is Sinclair isn't even doing anything - no real skill or tricks, he's just walking past him unopposed.

We need to get a grip on our home form, we make it far too easy for teams to come to Easter Road.

[Golden Bear]

Dire stuff Hibs. Too many players just not at the races today.

[thebakerboy]

Get Barker and Whitty off McGregor and Murray / Shaw on

[Aldo]

I’ll disagree with you on that one. They are quite a few levels above us and probably ever other team in this league. They have quality players. Quality all over the pitch and an embarrassment of riches on the bench.

We needed everyone to turn up, concentrate and play. We didn’t they did.

How is barker still on?

[gazzag70]

It was always going to be difficult but being so negative at home is disappointing. Better going down attacking than watching this!

[cabbageandribs1875]

barker **** up there eh

[Thecat23]

Lennons tactics.

Yep, thought he’d get them right today but clearly not. Playing Whitty and sitting in like we have is embarrassing.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Sinclair has ripped this league a new one over the last couple of years....

But in typical hibs fans fashion let's give Whittaker pelters

[Jim44]

Celtic are much better than most admit but having said that our defence is constantly in a mad panic when they push forward.

[cabbageandribs1875]

keystone cops at the back again

[IGRIGI]

Have to give Brown credit there, great clearance.

What a run though by Barker.

[Pretty Boy]

Tracking by Brown is unreal there. McGinn would do well to try and learn from him.

Nasty wee ersehole at times but a fantastic football player at this level.

[Thecat23]

At least we scored, we are getting pumped 0-2 ffs with one of the worst performances of the season.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Has our £5m midfielder touched the ball in the 2nd half? Or is this another game he's been bossed by Brown and co?

But then we're not allowed to criticise Super John

I’ve no arguments they have a quality side, but they’ve not left 2nd gear this afternoon.
