Hibs v Celtc - Omeonga starts

[jonty]

Match day thread.

Starting XI – Marciano, Gray (c), McGregor, Hanlon, Stevenson, Milligan, Slivka, Omeonga, Horgan, Kamberi, McNulty
Subs – Dabrowski, Bartley, Mallan, Bigirimana, Shaw, Mackie, Allan

[SRHibs]

RIP Mallan.

[Hiber-nation]

RIP Mallan.

Until he comes in for Slivka next week...

[jonty]

Celtic XI: Bain, Lustig, Boyata, Ajer, Tierney, Brown, Bitton, Forrest, Sinclair, Edouard, Burke

[Diclonius]

Yup, that's the team I'd have picked.

[Lago]

RIP Mallan.

Got plenty to offer in the coming weeks.

Celtic XI: Bain, Lustig, Boyata, Ajer, Tierney, Brown, Bitton, Forrest, Sinclair, Edouard, Burke

At least Celtic don’t have much pace in attack to bother us with 😟

[Ozyhibby]

I still rate Mallan and it’s hard to ignore the goals and assists.

Is Lustig Lennon’s “Whittaker” at Celtic?

Not had a look in for months under Rodgers and suddenly right back in the team under Lennon.

Good chance of a couple of goals for us with him, Ajer and Boyata at the back

[hibsbollah]

The attacking pace for Celtic is frightening.
We're still going to **** them over today. 2-1.

[Callum_62]

Not overly surprised as we need legs in there - Omeonga provides that more than Mallan

Im only concern is his sometimes lack of positional awareness

There’ll certainly be goals today.

If we are to pull off a win it’ll be a 3-2 or a 4-3 imo

[Springbank]

If we are to pull off a win it’ll be a 3-2 or a 4-3 imo

hoping for 3-2 (kamberi, mcnulty, omeonga)

and i'll be able to say i was there!!

cmon the Hibs, biggest game of the season today!

[bingo70]

I wonder if we could pull off a wee surprise with our formation.

Playing a traditional flat midfield 4 almost feels a wee bit naive. Wouldn’t surprise me if we did something a wee bit different, maybe a really narrow 4, diamond or a 4-3-1-2.

Imo going toe to toe with Celtic and trying to outscore them sounds exciting but it’s a dangerous tactic that I think is probably unlikely to work. The fact Omeonga isn’t a winger suggests to me we might have something up our sleeve.

[judas]

Yep. Pleased with that team.

If we change shape it’ll be a diamond. Won’t be anything too unexpected IMO.

Suppose 4-3-1-2 is pretty much a diamond anyway, suppose all I’m suggesting is that Omeonga won’t be stuck out on the right all the time

[Borderhibbie76]

RIP Mallan.I actually do believe he's really gonna struggle to get a game under the Heck...was really poor in Perth again midweek and with Omeonga impressing he really needs to up his game

No surprise at the team. Celtc look very strong but we’ve done it before. GGTTH!

[Smartie]

Mallan played as well as he's ever played for Hibs the last time we played Celtic.

That's the team that I'm pretty sure 90% or more of us would have picked.

Lennon wouldn't have though.

[Smartie]

Celtic have some great strength up front but they can all be a bit hot and cold. They might blow us away, they might not get a sniff.

We have a decent threat of our own out there.

Brave decision by the manager, but the correct one.

Omeonga has a lot to prove today - his pace and tactical awareness are plus points, as is his willingness to "engage" - our defence will be its usual ropey self, so we need things to work up front - looking forward to the game - hope we beat them ...

[Jim44]

Pleased to see Omeonga getting a start today but I’m a bit concerned about the growing anti Mallan sentiment. There’s definitely a place for him in the squad.

Of course there is. Ridiculous views from some ....top scoring player and assist ..well worth game time ...will be a real asset

[Diclonius]

We're already at an advantage because Lennon was expecting a 2-4-1-2-1 formation with Mallan and Whittaker as duel sweepers and Marciano and Bogdan just behind Kamberi up front. :wink:

[Tug Wilson]

Premier Sports list MacKIE on bench. Obviously their MacHINE is faulty.

[wookie70]

Not spectacular but we have a plan. Celtic look like a Lennon team to me, knocking it about aimlessly before a launch into the channels.sinclair with two dives and no bookings, unreal.

[lyonhibs]

Doing well in wide defensive areas against their undoubted pace. Omeonga having a stormer thus far.

Agreed, but Hibs looking slick on the ball. Just need a cutting edge pass in the last 3rd.

[21sMay]

Slikva been very good so far . Impressed with omeonga, love how he isn't scared to take a touch and run with the ball as we have missed this massively since losing allan

[Smartie]

What were the dives like in tv?

Looked like 2 yellow cards to me, amazed he hasn't had one for that second one.

[wookie70]

Kamberi caught on the ankle there and nothing given.
Blatant foul in promising position ignored. The ref has hardly had a decision to make bit he has got a good few wrong.

Yes need to get our front two involved, defending really well.

Felt Hibs did well and at times look very good to watch.

You would expect Celtic with a £9 million pound striker plus Burke and Sinclair etc to cause us some problems.

We just need a bit more in final 3rd and to do nothing silly at back and we can get something here.

Weather is making it difficult but the players are giving everything and there are positives.

i'm saying nowt :lips seal but tbf the wee man has had a couple of good crosses ,over the years, there's been a couple of occasions when we've been screaming out for someone out on the left but we've had to take it back in to the middle again

[SRHibs]

Thought that earlier when I read it. Shameful comment from, presumably, ‘a supporter’ :rolleyes:

“Shameful”? What an overreaction. Can you explain exactly why it’s shameful?

[PeeJay]

Pretty awful conditions - some promising moves going forward by Hibs, but we haven't yet tested their goalie as we fail to make any impression where it counts - Celtic very poor today so we really need to try and create something up front - defence working very hard - Omeonga, Slivka and Kamberi all doing well but mcNulty hasn't really had any good service - distribution from Stevenson, Hanlon and McGregor poor as usual - Celtic have looked the more dangerous of the two teams, but everything still to play for

[CentreLine]

Why is Horgan tucking in so much, need his width.

He’s obviously been told to do that. Every time the Celtic full back comes forward Horgan moves out wide. When he’s not Horgan ticks in. It has kept a top class Celtic full back absolutely quiet for the first half. Hope he is as successful all second half. He’s having a great game and so is Gray down this side. More of the same for me.
Watch Horgan he’s like a barometer based on the Celtic full back position on the field.

[HiBremian]

Looked reasonably comfortable there. Final ball letting us down as usual, but then we've been relying on crosses from the wing backs. With Omeonga, Horgan, Slivka, Flo and Sparky I'd like to see a few attempts at one-touch passes into their box instead. All good ball players.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Hibs need to find a way of filling the famous five lower for these games - looks awful on TV

We have been rubbish tonight. Gave them so much respect and all the territory that it was just a matter of time before their goals arrived.

Very disappointed in us. I know we were 2nd favourites but I expected us to at least have a go.

That's always a huge disappointment

[Just Jimmy]

No it doesn’t.
Deservedly shot downas someone else said, this feels like a performance from past times against the old firm.

I badly want us to kick on, I just feel this season has been such a let down after last year or so. maybe I just expected too much.

We’ve just won three league games in a row. We’re currently losing against the best side in the country. Calm down.

:agree:

It’s one game.

We’ve just won 3 league games in a row with a new manager. Hardly panic stations.

I think that’s more accurate.

[supermcginn]

Time for big decisions to be made, especially in defence. We are a slow old looking team.

[sorrow sorrow]

We have been very poor today and we never had a go at them like we have over the past few seasons,sat back and offered nothing going forward.losing efe and Boyle have been huge losses to us

[660]

There’s something exceptionally loathsome about Lennon

[GlasgowHibee]

I think it’s the manner of the defeat which is the problem, we’ve just let them walk all over us - we’ve done **** all about this all game.

[DH1875]

Throwins again. WTF was that

Is he the guy we hero worship after he leaves?

[Swedish hibee]

Gutted

[GreenCastle]

Football fans are so black or white at times.

We did well 1st half and used up a lot of energy with pressing and containing Celtic.

Celtic have some of the best attacking players in Scotland and a £9 million pound striker ! Worth more than our whole team!

2nd half we have struggled to get out as we have looked tired and they have punished us. Some say sat off them but for me we didn’t have the energy to get close. That first goal gave Celtic a massive boost.

We aren’t awful but we do need improved in certain areas - but we knew that.

Key now is to secure top 6 minimum and see how high up the league we can finish.

[Callum_62]

See brown giving some verbals to Flo after he scored the 2nd

Yes Lennon left us in a wee bit of a mess.

Said before the game he left us in a better shape than when he joined!!!

[DetroitHibs]

They are miles better than us. Only way we beat Celtic is by having a fantastic performance and them to be off it.

There’s no point trying to have a reasoned discussion on a match day thread. Folk just get hysterical. Best to leave it for another day.

Yep, Boyle, Pong, Gauld all out.

Allan not here yet.

Efe gone.

Horgan is our only ‘driving’ player at the moment.

[Just Jimmy]

I think that’s more accurate.thanks. [emoji6]

in all seriousness, I'd take a solid top 6 spot. see what else we can get and then let's regroup in summer.

Its a problem when we cant even get the basics right, I have switched of my stream as dont want to watch anymore, dont see us doing much this season, pretty much ****ed for now.

Spot on.

[dmc1875]

The most inept performance against Celtic since relegation season - probably the most inept performance against either old form actually.

Wonder why....

[Scorrie]

And he’s now booked...

That’s how we are playing now though with Milligan and Slivka sitting on top of the centre halves. It’s brutal to watch.
I kept reading on here how well they were doing in the away games but they look as bad as ever tonight.

Thank **** I didn't waste £25 to go watch that. Decent enough first half. As soon as they scored we've been pish.

You sound like the sort of guy you'd want beside you in the trenches.

[DetroitHibs]

Games over, can we get Marv to at least buckle Broonie with a high two footed tackle.

[Joe6-2]

Bloody professional footballers!!!

[SaulGoodman]

Its no over yet

Because our squad is a shambles built by Neil Lennon. When the going got tough he couldn’t handle it. Simple really.

[GreenCastle]

Which happened last time we met at Easter Road. But is every so often due to their resources / finances.

Massive underdogs every time we play them.

[dmc1875]

Slivka and Omeonga have been good at keeping calm and slowing the ball down.

The rest....not so much. Milligan was woeful and Bartley has been as bad since he came on

Watching gray and Stevenson cross is painful

[cabbageandribs1875]

mallan picks up yet another yellow

[supermcginn]

Milligan out first please.

Totally agree

[cabbageandribs1875]

mallan attempts a shot from 48 yards

[Speedway]

We’ve been beaten by a team with 11 times our budget and a manager who signed most of our players.

It’s a mystery how that has happened.

Poor performance but beaten by two quality goals. We've offered zilch though.

[heretoday]

Gray has not had a good game. Plenty of effort but not much else.
