Good debut, took over the centre midfield for us when he came on and barked orders at a few. Good passer of the ball, well played :aok:

I'm not sure he did anything spectacular, but was just a bundle of energy and desire. The ball seemed to be in the air a lot of the time round him, but to be fair he won a few headers when probably it's not the strongest part of his game.

Made some good challenges and looked eager to get on the ball. Full of desire and positivity.

I thought he did very well.

He linked up nicely with Milligan at times. Neither were content to hoof it up the park and they connected nicely under pressure, although with the lack of movement and pace meant that they struggled to get going with anyone else around them.

He did remind of Dylan a bit. Keen to get on the ball, nice touch and enough pace to take him away from his man.

There is a bit of quality in that squad, it'll be interesting to see what a new manager makes of it all.

He certainly looked a lot better than Bartley. Early days though.
I was hopeful for the lad from Genoa but it looks like he is another Mavrous/ Nelom signing. If he can’t get in that midfield then he is not going to make it.

Maybe he is a natural centre of midfielder who does a good all.round job, instead of what we have and thats midfielders who can do certain things and not others, leaving gaps in the overall team performance, so maybe is what we need...to bring our midfield together ..if the right mix is played together ..!!

Omeonga has looked far from fully fit to me.

He looks like he's just started playing after a serious injury, and very different to his highlights reel.

I agree. Think we have a lot of good players. The silver bullet is finding the right formation that gets the best from them. We don’t have many - if any - poor players. We just need to find a solution to mould them into an effective unit. Maybe easier said than done though.

Sadly I think we have a few key positions vacant.

Striker who can up front on his own.
Box to box midfielder.
Fit wingers with pace.

If we had these then I think we'd see more from the other players.

Any of our new players may yet prove to be exactly what we're looking for.

A new manager will be delighted with the talent we have, but I suspect will continue to struggle to form a strong team unit out of it.

Not seen enough from the new midfielders yet but we could have a box to boxer in there. I’d love to have a striker who can play the loan role effectively but I think the three strikers we have can operate as an effective two once they get the service. I’m still hoping we see a bit more of Agyepong soon and Horgan has looked decent when played on the wing - which NL rarely chose to do.

What I liked about him aswell was the fact he was trying to organise and motivate the others.

he was getting frustrated at the fact he was dragging the opposition centre mids into wider areas however none of our attackers were dropping into the gap to get on it.

Hope i am wrong and pleased to see other posters saw something in him.
I wanted Omeonga on for Bartley rather than him which didn't help .

Also wanted McNulty on earlier and for Kamberi.

Also wanted Grant Murray as the front rather than Eddie May who sounds like an inarticulate I M Jolly :wink: which will transfer to the players.

Also wanted a back 4 with Milligan on front of them.

Also wanted Gauld in the team instead of Mallan.

Milligan a mile ahead of him as a defensive mid which is where Bigirimana played today.
Milligan is a better tackler, header and passer than Bigirimana which are core skills for that position.
Can't believe that is his regular position so probably a mistake another example of Hibs forcing square pegs into round holes.
He certainly tried hard and did his best to help the team.

But Milligan can’t run which is also a key skill in football. I can’t judge Bigirimana on half a game but he won’t have to match ****e to be an upgrade on Milligan or Bartley.
There is a real lack of mobility and bite in our midfield. I really hope Bigirimana and Omeungi can provide it or we will struggle.

He doesn't need to run much playing defensive midfield. He is like the quarterback in American Football.

IMO Omeonga should have been playing instead of Bartley today and Gauld instead of Mallan.
I am frustrated that Omeonga is not playing and couldn't believe he was left on the bench today and Bigirimana was brought on!
Is there a problem with the fitness of the guy who was going to be our running man?
We are desperate for the skills and attributes we were told this guy has.

Mallan was very good at St Mirren in the second half whilst Gauld was quite rightly hooked because he was having very little influence. That’s probably why Mallan started and Gauld was on the bench at kick off time.

I’m not frustrated Omeonga isn’t playing at all as he’s shown nothing to suggest he should be in the game time he’s had so far. I know as much about him as you I’d imagine and I want him to be a find and better than what we have but at this stage I’m not falling over myself to campaign he should be in the team.

Also I sometimes think we have an obsession with having or playing a defensive midfielder, you don’t have to you can play midfielders who are dynamic but have defensive qualities. The old one goes and one sits is as valid now as ever has been if your playing a 2 in there. At times it’s effectively starting with a man down in the attempt to go win the game and be positive and certainly doesn’t have a place at home to teams you should be taking the game to, not necessarily yesteday being that game I get that. Im not saying there is never a place for a spoiler but as a principle I believe in the above.

Bartley had a shocker yesterday tbf. Nothing seemed to go right for him. Thought Bigirimana was alright. He's not going to be anything spectacular but he will do a job. Would've liked to have seen Omeonga coming on ahead of him though seeing as we were chasing the game and I don't think he offers too much in an attacking sense.

Bigirimana was such an improvement on Bartley when he came on, showed lots of energy and drive, I'm looking forward to seeing more of him. Bartley was horrendous which is sadly becoming more of the norm it really is time to phase him out then move him on.

What are you basing your assessment on there?

Milligan has been poor in midfield. Has he actually made any tackles? Look at Wilson going past him in the second half yesterday or Forrest at Celtic park. He doesn’t even know when to make a tactical foul and take a booking for the team.

Bigirimana played well yesterday and rarely gave the ball away. Looks much more mobile than Milligan and Bartley - don’t wish to see either of them in our midfield again.

I may be wrong but did Bartley come out 2nd half with a knee strapping? Haven’t read the whole thread so sorry if I missed it being raised earlier. Thought he had a decent first half but looked off start of 2nd half with 3 misplaced passes and losing out in tussles where he would normally shrug the other player off - as he did a few times in first half. .

Practically his first touch was to kill an extremely difficult ball stone dead and play a pass, the guy clearly has some technical ability. He buzzed about and wanted the ball which was encouraging to see …. I agree he gave the ball away a couple of times, one especially which ended a promising passage of play from Hibs. But there was more good than bad about him and it has to be remembered this was the first time he has been on the same pitch as his team mates … once he gets used to them he could be a real find for a club wanting to play the way we do.

I agree that his addition contributes to a diminutive midfield who aren't going to win many physical battles …. but on the other hand we do seem to have a midfield of players who can pass and run, if we can develop a system where they can all get their positioning and movement right we might not have to worry so much about physical battles.

I’m not worried about his height more than his ability to get stuck in. Slivka is a big lad but rarely presses for the ball and generally cruises about.

If we don't make top 6 it's not because of this guy

Haha!
Talk about a rush to judgement!
Honestly, reading through some of the posts on here can be a painful experience.

I was really impressed by this guy in the Aberdeen game actually. Looking forward to see more of him soon.

You got that off 30 minutes of watching him? How many games for Motherwell did you see him play?

Thought he done ok on Saturday. Nothing to get majorly excited about but nothing much wrong either. Will be interesting to see more of him.

Was about to post similar. We have way too many of the same type of midfielders. None of which are what we are actually needing


I think the balance has improved in January.

We have 3 wingers in the squad - Squirrel, Tam and Horgan - but injuries and poor form have undone us.

Well, at least you gave him a chance.

Sometimes I think I’m too negative. Then I see someone writing off Bigi after 20 odd minutes. Least I’ve not hit that level yet.

Showed more composure that most of our midfield in his cameo on Saturday

Also showed a fantastic first touch

I actually seen him quite a few times vs us and when Motherwell were on TV. He's not someone that ever stood out and had recently lost his place to Campbell and Turnbull (a player we should of looked at who's now signed a new contract).

Look I hope I'm wrong but I just don't think he's what's required. Maybe its because I'm still a bit annoyed we didn't get Allan in who was the one player I thought we were looking at that would come in and significantly improve us.

Our inability to secure Allan sooner doesnt reflect on Bigirimana's game - think a bit more patience is needed :greengrin

Ill admit id never heard of him but I dont tend to watch the opposition players or take too much note - Id rather base my opinion on how he fits into the Hibs team.

To be fair it is 20 mins more than some folk gave him. :greengrin

Got on in the 88th minute in the game against us recently and came on and played 44 minutes 1st game of the season against us. I'm guessing he must have played many more minutes against us last season for you to form an opinion or watch alot of Motherwell on the TV

I've probably watched 15+ Motherwell games on TV in the last 18months (mostly old firm and cup runs) and he's never stood out to me as a player I would like to see play in green and white.

The fact he's struggled to start for Motherwell in games against us shows me he's not really Hibs class.

* I would also point out I thought Efe would be a poor signing so my record in judgement isn't 100% :greengrin

that could be about their system or tactics as much as the individual...

It wouldnt have taken much to have bettered Bartley today. He was horrendous, new boy done okay when he came on. Mallan is a complete waste of a jersey

He is our top scorer....

Certainly wasn't overwhelmed with the news we were signing him. But give the laddie a chance. At least he looks like he wants to be here.

Gael may only have been on the park for 30 minutes or so, but for me, he showed enough to suggest there's a talented player in there. Looking forward to seeing him settle in at ER.

No problem with giving him a 6 month trial period to show he’s up to it.
