Oops, didn't notice he wasn't there. Yeah, he has to be in there ahead of anyone in the midfield bar Milligan, take your pick.

I don't think Omeonga will cope with the physical presence of Hearts. Saw signs of that in the Livingston game. You could argue that Mallan wouldn't either but again you can see from the Livingston game and his record this season why he should be starting.

[Ozyhibby]

Omeonga has to start. He is our top player just now.

He coped pretty well with the big physical Killie players tonight

[B.H.F.C]

McGregor in for Slivka with Milligan moving in to midfield. Game totally passed Slivka by tonight.

Horgan and Kamberi couldn’t complain if they were left out but I can’t see it with such limited options.

[Hibeesmad]

He coped pretty well with the big physical Killie players tonightPlaying at Tynecastle is a different type of battle than that of tonight. Bartley would be more suited than Omeonga Imo but would opt for Slivka for his extra technical ability

[we are hibs]

People wanting to drop Omeonga when he was our only midfielder looking to get on the ball tonight. Jesus.

Close between him and Milligan I thought

[wookie70]

Slivka to drop out with Daz coming in, only changes from tonight's starting line up imo. We will need to have our forward players playing better to win and hopefully, Omeonga will have a similar game to tonight as I thought he was excellent and just about came out on top against one of the best midfielders in Scotland. He might be lightweight but 90% of his mass is heart and will to win. Very similar to McGinn in quite a few ways imo and would be great to get him for another year

So let's play Bartley and make it a battle and play right into their hands? :rolleyes:

We play our own game. Don't stoop to their level of football that's what's let us down in recent derbies at tynecastle.

I hope that is the case. Can't see it though. We'll find out Saturday.

Find it difficult to justify a place in the team for Slivka after what I thought was a very poor performance from him tonight. Likewise Horgan but we pretty much have to play one of them. Omeonga more than coped with Mulumbu physically tonight and so I've no worries about seeing him cope with Haring, Djoum, Lee etc.

[bigwheel]

He would get bullied at Tynecastle

No he wouldn't...they don't have a midfielder as good a competitor as Mulumbu who he faced tonight...more than coped with that battle. he would be my first choice midfielder after tonight's shift. Hope Darren is fit to start to allow Milligan to accompany him. Milligan has been our best player for weeks now imho...class act...

[B.H.F.C]

Nonsense. Bravest thing you can do on a football pitch is get on the ball. He’ll take the ball anywhere on the pitch. It might not always come off for him all the time but that’s what we need.

School boy error missing Stevenson out. I just like the thought of somehow freeing Omeonga up to pick up space in behind the front two. Either him or Mallan who is capable of scoring from 20 - 3- yards out.

Who'd be a manager

[Danderhall Hibs]

I’m not sure anyone at Tynie would bully him. He’s a tough little competitor

Mulumbu tried and the wee man came back for more.

Lennon tried matching up and/or playing the biggest 11 available - we shouldn’t go down that route again, let’s olay our own game rather than theirs.

[neil7908]

Omeonga has to start. He is our top player just now.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed.

[Ozyhibby]

There is not really much debate to be had on this topic. We only have 12 players likely to start. McGregor likely to come in and Slivka drop out. Apart from that there is not much else Heckingbottom can do. Our squad is tiny just now.

Sort of a lopsided 4-3-3 that can shift into a 4-5-1 at a moment's notice when we need to defend. Ideally Kamberi a bit narrower when we're attacking, too.

If anyone’s getting bullied by that mob, it’s Slivka.

[CMurdoch]

All the derby guff is a red herring.
Forget the circus and play the game.
The bottom line is that Hearts are currently the worst team in the top 6.
We should be picking a team to beat them.

Tonight was tough against Kilmarnock who were big laddies.
Hearts are much smaller and they looked clueless against Rangers tonight.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Not sure what the team will be, but I agree we cant go down the Lennon route and try to play Hertz at their own game, if for no other reason than we just aren't a physical team. Our record at the Rust Arena is woeful and IMO its because too many Hibs managers, not just Lennon, have gone there worrying about how to match up to them physically.

The game last Friday was as good a practice match for a game against Hertz as you'll get, Livvi love to hump the ball up the park with a cavalry charge backing it up just like they do and we dealt with it pretty well by playing our own game. With Milligan playing the holding midfield role I would push Mallan far further forward to play just behind McNulty, what's the point of having a guy whose a danger anywhere within 30 yards of goal and playing him 50 or 60 yards from it like we did last night?

In that system Mallan would have to work his backside off when we don't have the ball dropping back to fill in the hole we would leave in midfield by pushing him up the park, but the good thing is that Kamberi even if he is stuck out on the left again by virtue of the small pitch will be far closer to McNulty when and if he wins the ball.

I've seen some folk saying Omeonga will struggle with their physicality … I've yet to see him struggle so far in any game, in fact I would hazard a guess that he's won the ball off opposition players more than the rest of our midfield combined over the last few weeks, chuck in the fact that he plays with great energy for 90 minutes on the big Easter Road pitch, so I would guess he will cover every blade of grass and then some on their tiny wee pitch. He's a cert to start.

I was going to post something similar re Kamberi / McNulty getting some benefit from the narrower pitch. If they managed much in the way of a lay off to each other today then I must have missed it whilst making a cup of tea, or it fizzled out to absolutely nothing that it just did not register.
They can be a good pairing when at least one of them is on his game, let’s hope they both are for Saturday, and the rest of the season.

[Brightside]

If anyone’s getting bullied by that mob, it’s Slivka.

What games has Slivka been bullied in? He wasnt great last night but it was pretty clear he was told to not press forward as much as usual.

[green.oracle]

Correct Billy, Sponsors must have been on strong stuff to give it to Stevenson.

Omeonga was certainly the pick of the midfield tonight, however his passing (particularly in the first half) was awful. Milligan was only real contender for mom imo.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Surprised to see David Gray not mentioned on here as a shout for MOM. He had their Rangers bound winger on toast, rarely if ever misplaced a pass. Had a decent shout for a penalty waved away. Should’ve been released earlier by young Murray late on too.

Great to have him back, looking fully fit

[Since452]

We've had pretty much the same starting 11 for the last 7/8 games now. Injuries have prevented us from changing things too much. It's worked in our favour as the team is far more settled but I think fatigue might start to set in now. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't pick up much in the remaining games but i can accept it in the circumstances.

Given its Tincastle that side would work, after all on that pitch everyone, including Flo, will be forced to play norrower.

I'd like to leave Kamberi out. Folks will say Shaw is too lightweight but Kamberi doesn't exactly stamp his authority on anyone

I also thought Gray was motm for the reasons you mention.

The goalkeeper, back 4 and McGregor when he went on were all excellent with little between them.

Spot on.
Every confidence in Omeonga. Pressurises the oppo on the ball as well as any. He must have experience of volatile atmospheres from Serie A. Got to give the lad a chance.

[Greenbeard]

For sure they will all be trying to wind up Kamberi after last time - a la Morelos. If he plays he needs to keep the heid.

very light for options on the bench - given that Horgan can't last the 90 minutes.

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't pick up much in the remaining games but i can accept it in the circumstances.

I would agree we are lacking quality options to bring off the Bench ,and having no winger is crazy given we knew Boyle was out and Tommy was struggling to recover Presumably we tried to get one but couldn’t
The Player on Loan from Motherwell hasn’t featured under Heck so assume he isn’t showing up well enough to displace anyone in the team
But Heck has said he has upped the bar re Fitness and that’s partly why players returning from injury aren’t getting game time in first team yet
We have also done well in avoiding other injuries so Tynie will be a test of that as welll given they tend to kick us off the park and try and Bully us
But against Killie we didn’t crumble despite them being better team for large parts of the game and Marciano is in good form
Therefore I am going for an ugly rare Hibs Win by the odd goal

We have about thirteen fit first team regulars, nearly lost my teeth saying that ! not many options to change things in the remaining games. The squad will be out on their feet by the seasons end.

Think we will find a place for Bartley.

Omeonga and Slivka will be swept aside by their neanderthals as soon as they try to put their foot on the ball. Difficult to tell which one I would leave out but probably Slivka.

[Brightside]

I really hope we don’t play Bartley. It’s just admitting that we will concentrate on stopping them rather than playing our own game.

Maybe let’s Mallan play further forward? 4-2-3-1 then bring on the more flair players after an hour when football might break out?

To be honest I’m not sure the best team/style to win there. We haven’t had much success there over the years having tried many systems

Whoever is selected just have to win their individual battle and hope it’s enough

[Zazu62]

Won’t be any space in the midfield or in wide areas at all so stay narrow so they can’t play through us/dominate. Play direct to the strikers, get in behind them and get them turning.

Milligan being in there gives Mallan the licence to go forward and hopefully score/create.

I love big Marv as much as anyone, but his time has passed.

This idea that we play him in derbies is madness, as whenever we get drawn into a physical battle with that lot, we lose. We have to outsmart them, not out-muscle, and Marv doesn't have a forward pass in him.

Whichever combination of players we use for the derby, we're going to have to go with 3 or 4 players who we know can blow hot and cold.

Horgan is inconsistent but we know he can play well. His pace is one of the biggest threats we can take to them tomorrow.

Hasn’t been playing for first team recently so rusty Both the young Subs struggled to get into Wednesday s game
Shaw has goals in him but unless he gets s run of games or decent game time off bench he is in danger of thinking Hecky doesn’t rate him
Flo struggled out wide v Killie so maybe Derby is time to start with Ollie then bring Flo on
But I expect he will come off Bench

Disagree. He’s had a few really good games but doesn’t do enough generally. Capable of more IMO. Don’t know if it’s heart, mentality or whatever. He had a chance to really establish himself this season. Would be surprised if he is a starter next year.

Big fan of Slivka but wouldnt start him. Can be too passive and often lacks physicality. Might be a good idea to play a neat and tidy player though

Absolutely agree with this. He occasionally shows glimpses of a good player but he's just way to passive for me and hasn't offered nearly enough in nearly 2 full seasons now.

It’s going to be another kick and rush hoof in your face Levein performance.

He knows it, we know it. We don’t win at Tynecastle and rarely play well.

Horgan and Mallan are the type of players who can go missing in such a scenario. Milligan must start I’m front of defence. Omeonga is quality but struggled against Livi when little time and high press. I can see Slivka playing which might help him and it’s difficult to think Mallan will be dropped. So for me Horgan might be benched to ensure we have physical presence.

..............Marciano.......

Gray... McGregor ...Hanlon...Stevenson ...

Horgan....Mallan...Milligan...Omeonga..

..............McNulty....Kamberi.....

Won’t be any space in the midfield or in wide areas at all so stay narrow so they can’t play through us/dominate. Play direct to the strikers, get in behind them and get them turning.

Milligan being in there gives Mallan the licence to go forward and hopefully score/create.


This for me 100% :aok:

This is it

Fully agree. I'll be very surprised if it's any different.

In Hecky we trust. I was completely wrong about Omeonga. What a talent he is. Sign him up please.

RM/RW: Horgan

LS/LW: Kamberi

Sort of a lopsided 4-3-3 that can shift into a 4-5-1 at a moment's notice when we need to defend. Ideally Kamberi a bit narrower when we're attacking, too.

Called it! :thumbsup:

Called it! :thumbsup:

You certainly did.

Interesting to look back at some of the comments on this thread. Few folk proved very wrong especially about Omeonga and Horgan.
