Aberdeen v Hibs

[whiskas]

Hard one as don’t know when we will be playing Luton Town?

To be fair there's more chance of Andrew Shinnie being booked against Hibs than Graeme Shinnie!

[Mr_F]

Been slaughtered on here plenty for having the audacity to suggest Mallan contributes zero against the better teams if he’s not got a dead ball or ball at his feet but once again he’s been a waste of a jersey tonight.

[GlesgaeHibby]

Is Shinnie unbookable?

Yes. Always is. Total joke.

[PatHead]

Can’t believe we have had so many chances but haven’t worked their goalie yet

[cjward2]

How much of this game is spent with the ball in the air.

[Mr_F]

How many fouls has Shinnie had already this game?

5

Absolute shambles from the ref as ever

[Hibs4185]

Mallan isn’t up to it apart from his shot. 9 goals maybe. But he had 1 shot this game and it was well over. I think Fraser Murray deserves his chance and we need Allan in january

[Smartie]

Can't really argue with those subs.

[Stuart93]

Too little too late imo, the changes should’ve been made 10/15 minutes ago

[hfc rd]

Maclaren and Slivka off. Both have been absolutely honking!

I think the team bought into its own hype after the Hamilton performance.

[Hibees1973]

Hibs do deserve a goal on this 2nd half. The international break has come at a good time so we can try and get Gray & Hanlon fit.

Main concern though is the goals have dried up.

Apologies, I thought you were being a dick 😂

[CMac1988]

You could add McLaren to that list also but in fairness his game style is dependent on the midfield getting the ball into his feet and the box.

[Nevi_SOL]

Cos we’re playing quite well this half and creating a few chances?

[Gatecrasher]

I think folk need to remember how young Mallan is and is still developing in his role after about a year without kicking a ball. That being said there has been a real lack of quality tonight, it's been a bit better in the second half but no where near good enough.

How Boyle has got 90 minutes is incredible, worst player in green by a distance and been poor for past 3 - 4 games.

Poor performance all round where lots of players need to take a look at themselves, just not anywhere near good enough!

Stinking game. Hibs didn’t cope at all with the conditions. A few of the players just didn’t turn up. Shocker.

Overall Aberdeen deserved the 3 points - we were generally very poor - they looked more up for it at every ball and tackle - no creativity, no team spirit or applying as a team going forward - still too many defensive lapses

[Hibernian Verse]

Didn’t really look like getting anything after we went behind. Far too many no shows. The weather didn’t help of course but not a good performance.There's no link between midfield and attack. Mallan should be right in behind them but he played a weird 4 with a winger on one side and a central midfielder on the other - complete lack of balance.

Aberdeen were very comfortable, totally different performance from the game against them at Easter Road.

We are missing something big style, the midfield tonight was missing for most of it, and the service to the strikers was mostly non-existent.

Conditions were crap, you could see neither team played well, but Lennon was looking for a reaction tonight and I don't think he got one.

a top 4 place. b. It’s unlikely we’ll get relegated.Yup we are a mid table team that's regressed badly since end of last season...I blame both Lennon for some poor signings and the Board for not spending more money in the summer. Record ST sales a bumper euro run and a huge fee banked for our best player and yet we failed to bolster the squad adequately. As for the signings we did make..none are really making much of an impact other than Bogdan and Milligan...Mallan can take a free kick but contributes very little else. Very worrying times at the moment and a real test now of Lennon and his mettle.

Utter mince. We could have played till midnight and not scored. The same could be said for them other than the fact they took advantage of a mistake from a Hibs player to drill in a good goal to be fair.
It wasn't quite as bad a game of football as the derby but that's not saying much. We're looking toothless and lacking confidence in attack and being punished for any defensive mistakes at the back.
Bogdan, Stevenson and Milligan played well. Macgregor and Ambrose had a couple of shaky moments but overall played decent. The rest of the team had a massive off-day, it must be the poorest I've seen Boyle play.

We desperately need a goal.

It's the fact we are second to nearly every ball against a pretty average Aberdeen side.

Very fine margins.

We weren't great, but the goal came from the worst mistake and only bit of real quality in the game.

In spite of the awful conditions we still managed to create enough half chances.

We're just a bit too weak in all departments - the defence won't hold out for 90 minutes, we miss the chances we create and I felt we were beaten as soon as we lost the 1st goal.

I do think some of the reactions on here are over the top, but it is a poor sequence of results and I thought that was close to our best team out there.

David Gray is some player. We look like we're really missing him.

After Aberdeen getting lucky last weekend and thinking our performance against St Johnstone would be our nadir, I really thought we'd do them tonight. Despite the effect of the wind, we were all over the place and never judged the weight of our passes. We continued to hoof the ball in the air when we were previously successful playing the ball on the ground. This inability to judge a pass was highlighted by Ryan's attempted pass to Lewie and as a result I'll give GMS the credit for a well taken goal.

Players don't become rubbish overnight but I don't understand why they can't do simple things competently at this level. I'm not going to pick out individual players as it would take me an hour to through their performances, but none got a pass mark from me as they were all (except the lads below) gash.

Two positives: the fantastic backing from the fans and young Mackie and Allan who came on near the end and can't accept any of the blame, but seemed momentarily to steady the ship.

Based on tonight's performance, we'd struggle to beat Dundee.

[Hiber-nation]

I think Stevenson took a sore one about a minute before that to be fair

[truehibernian]

Terrible conditions and very poor game, lacking quality and composure. For me, Neil Lennon needs to step back and take a break from football for a few weeks and recover - I think recent events have really rattled him and it's showing and it's a distraction. His health comes first and I think we have a strong enough and well respected enough backroom team to take the reins for the next 4 games and let him recharge his batteries and focus. Body language of the players is poor and they look like they are feeling sorry for themselves - lacking real character at present. Events at Tynecastle I think have had an effect on things, no doubt about it. Neil said he wanted a reaction tonight and he got nothing first half - which itself is a worry given they have had a week to prepare physically and mentally.

We'll improve, absolutely no doubt about it - but players need to step up, and the club needs to step in and support Neil in the immediate future.

[Real Emerald]

Lennon is going to have to make some shrewd changes in january , like he had to last season. Im unconvinced about any of his summer signings , milligan being the exception.

He should have made them in the summer but all the fans that were concerned about the lack of signings given the biggest budget ever, McGinn money etc. we’re called bed wettest. Looking at our form, terrible midfield, lack of strikers and the shambolic defence, my bed is going to be very wet during our December fixtures. We are rotten all over the park, so disappointing and so Hibs. Any time in my lifetime when things start to look up, we sell our best players and do the worst job ever of trying to replace them.

Let’s hope the season ticket sales keep up next year as the biggest budget ever is not producing. The conditions tonight were rotten but we were awfull. So sad.

Friday night at Aberdeen was never going to be easy, even if we were in good form.

We have signed 10 players and yet tonight we had Porteous, Allan and Mackie playing. I would not blame any of these 3 players tonight.

What I do blame is our signing policy this year. Too many players have been signed late in the transfer window and another couple recently under freedom of contract. Hibs should not have put themselves in a position of trying to get new players ‘up to speed’ once the season has started. Almost all of them, apart from Milligan, who is a hugely experienced player, have failed so far or unfit to play.

Now we have an international break and 3 of our players, Boyle, Milligan and MacLaren have a 30,000 mile round trip to play for Australia. All 3 will also be missing for a few games in Jan/Feb due to the Asian Cup.

Lennon will have sanctioned all these signings, but after tomorrow we could be 8th in the league.

My points will probably not be the only negative remarks on this thread tonight but our league position just now is due to a foolish signing strategy.

I do hope Hibs pick up after the break but the signs do not look good.

It seems to me that when we are bad we look the most clueless team in the league, other teams can scrap and work their way back into a game but when was the last time you saw a Hibs side do that away from home, that's what gets me the most.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Muir? Thought Shinnie was the ref.....

So did I 😕 what a fouling moaning faced arse he is.

[K.Marx]

Terrible conditions and very poor game, lacking quality and composure. For me, Neil Lennon needs to step back and take a break from football for a few weeks and recover - I think recent events have really rattled him and it's showing and it's a distraction. His health comes first and I think we have a strong enough and well respected enough backroom team to take the reins for the next 4 games and let him recharge his batteries and focus. Body language of the players is poor and they look like they are feeling sorry for themselves - lacking real character at present. Events at Tynecastle I think have had an effect on things, no doubt about it. Neil said he wanted a reaction tonight and he got nothing first half - which itself is a worry given they have had a week to prepare physically and mentally.

We'll improve, absolutely no doubt about it - but players need to step up, and the club needs to step in and support Neil in the immediate future.

Definitely agree in respect of the players body langauage. Did not look like a team busting a gut to get back into the game. Can only think this is because of the Lennon fallout.

[OtleyHibs]

The lack of goals is concerning as is no win in 4 but important to bear in mind 3 of those games were at parkhead, Tynecastle and Pittodrie. Not the easiest of places to go. Last week against at Johnstone was more of a concern and showed how much we miss Flo up front.

Poor finishing from him tonight to be fair but he’s our main threat. Been a bad run of form but mainly at notoriously tricky places to get results. Get this next international break (they seem constant this season) and hopefully kick on. A few wins going into our heavy December run can kick start the season

[Nevi_SOL]

Second half I think we’ve done ok.

First half was terrible.

Opinions eh

I honestly think that team could play through the international break and still no score

[dp00]

Plenty teams have had 3/4 bad games this season ...

Celtic
Aberdeen
St Johnstone

Sure we don’t need to over react too much

I normally think that when we’re not creating anything and that’s how I felt on Saturday but we could/should have scored three in the second half.

[Glory Lurker]

Don't complain! Jambos might be looking in!

[flash]

Positives. Milligan back in midfield and our best player by a distance. Mackie showed in 5 minutes he is certainly an upgrade on Stevenson in the opposition half. Bogdans handling was great on a horrible night. Porteous showed character.

[Turkish Green]

Statistically Hibs had all the chances yet the Sheep score with their only attempt on goal. We are just not converting chances to goals. The second 1-0 defeat following Saturday and the 0-0 at the PBS.

Agree with all of that. Glad Mackie is back getting some minutes albeit after Marv's injury. He's a cracking young player. Love his attitude too, very like Cummings, nothing at all phases him and he is gallus.

Stevenson getting roasted by GMS all game long. Groundhog Day.

Boyle the last few weeks has been shocking - looks like he’s running through treacle - is he carrying an injury or is he just playing that bad?

I thought everyone bar Ambrose and Milligan were ooor. McLaren a waste of a jersey at the minute.

Woeful performance after Saturdays shocker as well. Players need to take a good long look at themselves

get the impression Boyle is carrying a knock looked slow. Bit of a perfect storm at the moment with injuries and key players not up to speed. Poor goal to lose and should have scored but conditions and the attritional spoiling opponents need to be taken into account. No time for panic possibly too late looking at this bipolar thread :greengrin but certainly improvements required pronto.

Agree about Mackie looked good but obviously very short time to tell. Other positive would be McLaren getting more game time nearer to match fitness.

Lewis is very rarely roasted by anyone. Calm it.

[B.H.F.C]

Lewis is very rarely roasted by anyone. Calm it.

I didn’t think he was ‘roasted’ last night that often to be honest. McKay-Steven is quick and is always going to beat full backs at times.

The bigger issue with Stevenson last night was the number of times he just aimlessly punted the ball up the park without even looking because he didn’t want it.

[Callum_62]

Aberdeen had 1 shot on target - same as us I think

The game was lost on a defensive error with a good finish

And Flos loss of composure

You couldn't make it up, players that were brought to the club in the summer were great, now they are not very good, offer nothing except dead ball expertise, not a striker only a poacher.
Oh well :confused:

Whoever threw their scarf away when Aberdeen scored it landed on me.


So does anyone want to own up to throwing their scarf away at the Aberdeen goal? Claim it or lose it.

It wasn’t me. I’d have thrown something heavier. :greengrin
