Omeonga

[we are hibs]

Was miles and miles ahead of every single other player on that pitch. He is quality and I will be gobsmacked if hes here next year

Doesnae shirk away from the physical stuff.

[hibee_girl]

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s here next season. Going by his social media he’s absolutely bought into being a hibs player and seems to love being here.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Terrific wee footballer.

[Onion]

Great performance today. Good energy, commitment and masses of skill. Omeonga and McGregor were my MOTM.

[calumhibee1]

Wonderful player.

[norwayhibs]

Omeonga was my mom, best player on the park today by a mile. I would love him to be with us next season.

In the end it will be about money,unfortunately.

[hfc rd]

Different class. 2nd half especially, he was skinning Clare & Smith for fun.

[Hibee Mac]

He's got a bit of everything, fantastic wee player. One of those that just gets it as well which makes him so easy to warm to.

[tonyrougier123]

4yr deal please.🙏

[MWHIBBIES]

Definitely wasn't miles better than Lewis who played really well. Next to no chance he'll be here next season, Belgian u21 international with Serie A experience. That alone puts him out of our league.

[Hibeesmad]

The type of player I think we should break the transfer record for. Put that McGinn money and the increased final placing money to use.

[jst1875]

4yr deal please.🙏

out muscled their brick**** house at one point only for their 12th man to award a foul against him !

I mean he was a class above everyone else on the pitch but your spoiling for an argument as usual so crack on.

[BoomtownHibees]

He’s here now as a “Belgian u21 international with Serie A experience” so we could well see him again next season

[MWHIBBIES]

Not at all. Lewis was as good as anyone imo. Hardly controversial.

You're the one taking a personal shot at me, please keep it on topic :aok:

[scuttle]

Reminds me of Russel Latapy in style and ability, but his work ethic is different class

[DarlingtonHibee]

Thought Lewis had a good second half, but distribution was not up to his usual high standard

Almost scored a beauty just before half time. Would loved to have seen that go in.

Exactly 👏

Me too had a tenner on him at 28/1 😞

[ancient hibee]

Needs to pick his passes better for me.If he comes back he’ll be Allan’s legs I hope.

[hibsbollah]

His balance, ball control and composure are just a joy to watch. I would absolutely love it if we could get him here next season, but he will be being watched as we speak by teams that could quadruple his wages. His online presence suggests he loves it here, so who knows.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Sounds perfect to me.

[Crab apple]

Best player on the park for me.

[B.H.F.C]

Not Lewis’s biggest fan but thought he was good today. And, unusually, was good in an attacking sense.

Two good efforts and put one on a plate for Slivka.

Omeonga tidy on the ball but not a lot comes from it. Think he could play in the middle of the park for us no bother doesn’t give enough in the final third which is an issue when he is in one of our attacking positions.

[ekhibee]

Omeonga was the best player by a mile today. He's adaptable as well, he can play more centrally or out on the wing. Really good player and still young, he's going to be some player in 2 or 3 years time.

[Hibbyradge]

I realise that I'm in a minority, possibly of one, but I don't see what he brings to the team, apart from energy.

He's lightweight, his passing is poor and he can't shoot.

Lots of folk love him so I'm prepared to be change my mind, but I won't be sorry to see him leave in May.

Having said that, I've never been convinced by Kamberi or Slivka and I'm glad that McLaren is away so maybe I'm looking for unicorns.

His passing and shooting could certainly be improved I’d agree. But I’m very surprised that anyone who watched that today wouldn’t be sorry to see Omeonga leave. Thought he was outstanding today and the majority of fouls and yellow cards must have been drawn by him.

Great performance again and hope we see more of this guy.

Jeezo. Some of the utter dugmeat midfielders we’ve had to put up with over the years and you won’t be sorry to see Stephane leave?

[bingo70]

I’ve loved him since he signed and think he’s a good player.

I do think he’s very raw though and needs to be playing football every week so another year at us would do him the world of good.

I also thought he had one of his poorer games today, was surprised to speak to my mates after the game who had him as motm and I’m really surprised to see such a glowing thread about him on here.

Ultimately I think he’s a very good player that I’d love to see him again for us, I do think we’re getting to the stage of him being unable to do any wrong though, I think he’s a good player but probably not atbthe level some are seeing him at though.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Still think Gray for MOM.

[truehibernian]

Still think Gray for MOM.

Omeonga for me, but thought Daz and Paul Hanlon played the big lad Ikpeazu really well for near enough all the game. Both were strong and it was a great set of battles. He is a handful.

[MickeyEdwards]

Was miles and miles ahead of every single other player on that pitch. He is quality and I will be gobsmacked if hes here next year

Without doubt, Hibs MOM today IMHO
Terrior in the tackle, tricky skilful determined footballer with a willingness to defend and tackle opponents to recover possession for his team

He gets better every game he plays 👍

[MWHIBBIES]

Still think Gray for MOM.

I cant see this at all. I think he has been brilliant this season but was poor today. Offered nothing going forward, rarely available for a pass from the central defenders, sleeping for the goal. I think Whittaker would've got slaughtered if he played like Gray today.

[BoyledEgg]

Offered nothing going forward apart from being involved in the build up to the goal.

[Unseen work]

Played well and showed great skill today.

If he improves his final ball/play in final third he will be some player.

[Hibbyradge]

I agree. He's not dug sh**.

He was, I'm a huge fan of Stevenson but Omeonga was a class above everyone today.

[Swedish hibee]

Gets battered to bits, and gets straight back up again. The wee man is pure class.

[DetroitHibs]

Imagine him, Boyle and Allan tearing teams up.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Guy is pure class, what a player.

[greenlex]

McGregor was motm for me.

[wookie70]

I thought he was very good but I would have had Lewis MOTM and Daz up there too

[Auckland Hibs]

I thought he has been the best player on the park for the last half dozen games.

Will be delighted if we retain him for next season but fear he will be snapped up by one of the Ugly Sisters.

[Unseen work]

I really like his tenacity, energy and skill on the ball.

But his final ball and passing infuriates me, at times he seems to do the hard part by beating a player or doing nice skill to lose possession after with his pass. Especially as he has been played as the creative player in our midfield.

Clearly I’m not expecting the finished article or he wouldn’t be here.

But in terms of next season, we will have Scott Allan who will create chances throughout plus Mallan who can score and create.

For me the last central midfield role goes to a big guy who can defend and break up play (the role I thought Omeonga would do). Could you play the 3 of them together with Mallan and Omeonga sitting whilst Allan creates in the last 3rd? Probably not.

I would love to see him back but can’t help but think we will see other areas strengthened.

Imo we need 2 strikers, 2 wingers (Omeonga potentially as he can do a job there) a central midfielder and competition for our aging defence.

Gauld
Agyepong
McNulty
Omeonga
Bartley
Whittikar?
Bigirimana
Johnson
Spector
Lewis Allan

Will all likely be away so there will be a massive turn around I imagine.

I expect a lot more youthful players with energy, signing players from the lower English and Scotland leagues with the view to developing them.

Obviously if we can get a deal to get him back and it doesn’t effect our targets we should do it 100%.

For me key to next season is getting a bigger squad with a lot of competition for places, real squad depth of quality is needed

Omeonga
Allan
McNulty
David Turnbull
Shankland
Jamie Lindsay
Ryan Hardie
Jack Grimmer
Chris Cadden

Are guys we should be looking at imo.

Fraser Murray,, Oli Shaw and Mackie will be pushing for places too.

[truehibernian]

I've a good feeling that Stephane will stay for another season.

[Gaffer1875]

Anyone on instagram get on it and watch him play the braveheart theme on the piano. What a guy.

David Turnbull has signed a contract at Motherwell for 3 or 4 years and I reckon his next move will see him earn a lot of money.
I heard a rumour maybe on here that Hibs may be after Jack Grimmer?
Chris Cadden is a funny one I can't make up my mind if he's very good or bang average.
I'm going to have to research Jamie Lindsay 😀

Yeah Turnbull is destined for bigger things, was desperate for us to get him on a pre contract.

I also heard the Grimmer rumour however I think that might be down t guess work with us signing Scottish players who’ve moved to England and that Heckingbottom will have knowledge of him.

Lindsay is a good young powerful midfielder who played an important role for County to get back in the top flight.

Lindsay likes a tackle, difficult to tell from a shirt clip but he does look powerful and full of energy

:top marks there is something really likable about him, one of my pals got a photo with him on Sunday, he's a gent apparently.

Couple that with the fact he is a tenacious wee fighter, a midfield of Mallan, Stephane and Allan would tear the league a new a' hole :thumbsup:

Seems a shoe-in to sign for them.......

[The Spaceman]

He's a class act. We love him and he loves us, quite incredible given he's only been here a couple of months. I suspect he will be off to bigger things next season, would love to have him back though. If he did go, file into a similar category as Liam Henderson.

He was very poor yesterday however if you go to his Instagram account you will be delighted.

His story shows His neighbour, who is a young hibs fan who he has invited into his flat to play Fifa with, has also previously gave him signed strips and has got him VIP for the Aberdeen game.

Brilliant gesture.

Just seems a nice, intelligent, articulate, talented guy. Glad my wife doesn't read hibs.net she might get worried haha.

[My_Wife_Camille]

The guy is sheer class. He didn’t have his best game at Ibrox but everyone has their off days. Would love to see him here even if it’s just for another season.

[BILLYHIBS]

Love the wee man!

If he could add an end product to his game goals or a killer pass he would be some player

Then again maybe leave that until next season. :greengrin

[ancient hibee]

He works very hard and runs well on the ball but his end product is negligible-I think one assist in the season so far.

[Aim Here]

He works very hard and runs well on the ball but his end product is negligible-I think one assist in the season so far.

Actually it's one assist in his entire career. If you were at the St Johnstone game, you have been mighty privileged to witness it.

It feels like he's playing a defensive role from an offensive position. He's useful for harrying the opposing team's midfielders and chasing them down in order to get the ball and stop them doing what they want with it - neutralizing Broonie at the Celtic game being one example. What we need to do now is teach Marvin Bartley to shoot from the halfway line, and we'll have turned the entire philosophy of midfield upside down...
