2019-20 season non-Hibs games thread

[MWHIBBIES]

No doubting Pep is a wonder coach but like last night when teams are organised defensively his little men attacking mentality doesn't work as he has no options to change things. One of the commentator said last night that Dzeko would've been a great option for him to have, crosses kept coming in for the little guys like Jesus and Sterling and also that Arsenal were a much bigger team. Arteta out coached his mentor last night.

Yeah, I thought this as well. Dzeko or someone like Ibrahimovic would've made a world of difference. He will never play that way, though.

I guess that is fair enough, his way will definitely win many more games than it loses him but in one offs, having a big blood and snotters centre forward could help significantly.

Man Citys most famous moment is the Aguero goal but it wouldn't have been possible without Dzeko making it 2-2. City hadn't looked like scoring for basically all of that game (first goal was very lucky IIRC) and he made all the difference.

[Scouse Hibee]

I have always admired that Pep sets out to win everything possible which as a supporter is what you want to see from your team. Dismissing the FA Cup and League Cup by fielding weakened teams is a real let down to me. The big teams should be aiming to win the lot which is exactly what Pep has always tried to do during his time at City,

[Andy74]

I think we are seeing some different football with no fans in the ground. Players are doing things they would be okay to do in training but would probably not try in a game.

The first Arsenal goal with the passes in the box to kick it off - I don’t think there’s any way you do that if 80,000 people are in there with half of them panicking and screaming to get it out of there.

[HoboHarry]

That Vestergaard of Southampton is a mean looking brute. Don't think I'd have picked a fight with him even in my best years 😜

all of the teams at and near the bottom have very hard fixtures tho i fancy luton will save themselves with a home game against nothing to play for blackburn

wigan,with 12 points deduction still have a tough tie v fulham chasing that auto promotion spot

charlton away to a leeds side that played a couple of fringe players today at derby and still won by a few goals

Barnsley are away at brentford who are also looking for that auto promotion spot

finally hull city are away at cardiff who need a point to guarantee play off spot, a huge -GD doesn't help

De Gea at fault 1-0 Chelsea

Been all Chelsea, Ole had to make a lot if changes due to 48hrs less time between games, De Gea will be gone before the start of the new season, too many mistake for a too keeper, talk of the lad from Sheff U coming in.

[Caversham Green]

Lineker and Shearer calling the Martial chance/potential penalty offside. He was about 10 yards behind the defenders when the ball was played - nowhere near offside.

Oops, my earsight failing me - they were saying outside, as in outside the box, so not a potential penalty.

[J-C]

De Gea is having a howler, shocking for a keeper of his stature.

[Pretty Boy]

That is awful from De Gea. Why is he even playing? Romero plays the FA cup games and frankly he should be starting anyway. De Gea has been honking for about a season and a half now.

Whoever the midfielder was who gave the ball away needs to have a word as well.

He’s really struggling. That’s just awful, he had his eyes on the ball and everything, it’s almost as if his hands went limp. God knows how Roy Keane will react this time.

Yep. I was watching the replay for a clue as to what happened. The slow motion sometimes shows a wee bobble or the ball skipping up off the turf or something but there didn't seem to be anything. Bad technique and a lack of concentration.

Most expensive defender of all time. £91.5m!! All on the back of a good World Cup, where he was remembered for his attacking ability at corners and less about his actual defending. A decent player but nothing more IMO.

They beat Chelsea playing 3 at the back last time they met, unfortunately Lampard is also playing a back 3 which negated Ole's system, 2 goalkeeping errors and the rest of the team very poor, Chelsea's won without getting out of 2nd gear.

This was to make sure they couldn’t have the penalty this year and still avoid relegation (which they would have done) and basically got off scot free.

He’s been back since before the restart. He’s been playing. He’s been decidedly average. He’s certainly not the player that went south. I don’t think slower and not covering as much ground has anything to do with his injury.

Read recently that McGinn had recovered from his broken ankle pre lockdown and was due to be in their squad for the game that ended up postponed, due to lockdown. They then discovered, right at the start of lockdown that he had a hairline fracture in his shin which meant he didn’t train for the majority of lockdown.

I think his poor form is predominantly down to fitness. In the first half of the season he was doing exactly what he did up here, just at a higher level.

I know what you're saying but I think West Ham will be in holiday mode for their last two matches. Their cup final was against Watford which they won and barring a miracle going against them, they're now safe.

I think you’re probably right, but it wouldn’t be a shock if West Ham beat Villa and it wouldn’t be a shock if Watford lose to Arsenal. That leaves you with the possibility of a Bournemouth win at Everton keeping them up. It’s possible that all three will lose and it will go down to goal difference or goals scored.

I can definitely see Aston Villa and Watford both losing, it's the Bournemouth win that I can't see happening.

All three have pretty awful away records (they've all managed just 10 points from away games all season, only Norwich are worse) if I was a betting person I'd say Aston Villa will get a point to stay up and the other two will lose.

[Steve20]

McGinn was excellent last night, especially in the second half. I know a few on another thread said he wasn't, but for whatever reason there seems to be opinions creeping in this forum criticising McGinn's recent performances. He's not been at his best in the restart, but he's been far from as poor as some would suggest. It's actually shocking how quickly people want to jump on a Hibs hero. Considering we seem to have a Tierney fan club starting on this forum too, and he was very poor when he came on last night.

Anyway, last games. Can't see Bournemouth winning away at Everton, so they're gone. And I just can't see Watford picking anything up at Arsenal. I think they'll probably have to win though, as I see Villa taking a point away to West Ham.

[Tambo]

Celtic fan at work today crying about the financial difference between the two teams😂

So glad McGinn never went there.

For a neutral its an entertaining game, hope the second half is as good

[HoboHarry]

Them, Manchester City, Arsenal and Spurs.....

[Sylar]

Chelsea can sign quality players like Werner and Ziyech, but unless they add some competence to that back 4, they're always going to languish behind City, Liverpool etc.

Rudiger and Zouma are both prone to too many errors, and deary me are they horrible marking at set pieces. I don't necessarily agree with Carragher's criticism of Arrizabalaga though - I think he's a very decent keeper, let down by being exposed far too often by what's in front of him.

[BS44]

Swansea need a one goal swing to overtake Forest for play off place, Swansea winning 3 1 while Forest down 3 1

[Scouse Hibee]

Brentford need one more goal to be promoted automatically as it stands.

[BS44]

And Swansea score

[Scouse Hibee]

Brentford have conceded, Swansea have scored though to make play off

[BS44]

Barnsley score to possibly avoid relegation and that leave Brentford in third

[Sir David Gray]

Brentford 1-2 Barnsley, full time.

Barnsley will stay up if Wigan's appeal fails.

[Scouse Hibee]

i didn't realise the loser in the final keeps the gate money as consolation, so a doubly whammy for the loser this season as no fans will be there

probably would have been 70-80k there

Some amazing goals in the Liverpool game. Considering there was no crowd it just shows the players professionalism. And just how good is Andrew Robertson. Much be the best left back for many many years. The run to set up the fifth goal. Took me back to shades haring down the wing. Wonderful player.

Its an incredible stat, that he and Alexander-Arnold both have more assists than De Bruyne over the last 2 seasons (albeit with a game to be played this weekend).

Really shows both how important they are to Liverpool and how fantastic they've both been

Amazing, who would have thought that full backs would have so much influence in the forward positions that these two have.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see West Ham take Antonio off at halftime, he’s been booked and he had another tackle that could’ve seen him sent off. They won’t want to have him out for the start of next season.

[JohnM1875]
