2020-21 season non-Hibs games thread

[SHODAN]

Cannot stand Falkirk , They had this weird obsession with hibs whilst we were in the championship thinking we were rivals , Eh naw

That quickly dissipated once we started beating them regularly.

They're my local team for another couple of weeks before I move so in that time I'd like them to do well. :aok:

Throw in the penalty we never got in the playoffs at Easter road which the whole world knew apart from the ref , Plus their ned fans wanting square goes i ****ing hate that club

Rangers will be difficult to stop I think. We’re the only team to lay a glove on them in the league and even then it was tough going.

[Magpie]

Sunderland have parted way with their manager.

5 of their last 10 in fact. How he still has a job is beyond me.

Should have been 0-3. Awful effort clear through.

[we are hibs]

Rangers will hit a bad run. They always do. I reckon they are too far ahead of Celtic to affect the league now but we hopefully will get them in the cup in the midst of a dodgy run. We are capable of winning the cup if we believe in ourselves. Its one of those opportunities we dont often get. No celtic, aberdeen or hearts.

[JohnMcM]

If they win tonight and get through to the final, they could be on course to win their first major trophy.

Unfortunately I don't think they will. They are beating teams very easily and with Celtc in freefall they may have the luxury of a few poor performances. I hate The Rangers to my core but it may be good for us if they keep winning and Celtc lose a few more soon. Celtc could easily implode when 10 in a row is no longer possible and we need to make sure we have a chance of getting second. It might be our only chance, however slim, for a very long time. I doubt Celtc will be foolish enough to recruit such a poor manager again

Nasty clash in the Arsenal v Wolves game. Jiminez going off with a nasty one by the looks of it.

Edit: not looking good for Jimenez, he’s been down for over 5 minutes, still yet to be stretchered off. Sky not showing the replay of the incident.

Head clash with David Luiz, you could hear it on the TV. Taken straight to hospital.

[Magpie]

They haven’t been great this season, league table proves that. Aubameyang looks a shadow of the player we saw last year. NLD next week, need to win that to regain some confidence.

Don't understand how Luiz was allowed to continue do they not have concussion protocols in football like they do in rugby?

Based on the severity of Jimenez’s injury it probably would have been best to have taken him off, but I think the medical team make the final decision when accessing the player on the pitch.

Been saying it for weeks, miles off the top four. They be lucky to be playing European football at all next season.

can't ever see HIAs ever coming into football. Too many players feign injury and try to get free kick and also players carded. There would be players off the pitch constantly with absolutely **** all wrong with them

[easty]

Been saying it for weeks, miles off the top four. They be lucky to be playing European football at all next season.

I think it was pretty clear at the start of the season, before a ball was kicked, that they weren’t going to be troubling the top 4 this season.

What I don’t understand, is why they spent almost £30m on a centre half, but don’t think hes good enough to play ahead of even Rob Holding? Waste of money. As is Pepe, who’s absolutely dire.

3 centre mid for Arsenal today - Xhaka, Ceballos, Willock. Nae wonder they struggle. That’s 3 very average players.

Saliba lost both parents in the summer, that's why he's not playing. He's having a hard time.

Strange that they have taken him off at half time

Really.

Top goalie though. Why don't you rate him?

[easty]

Saliba lost both parents in the summer, that's why he's not playing. He's having a hard time.

Then why was Arteta looking to loan him out?

You’re always full of excuses for Arsenal MW, you’re obviously a fan, so that’s fair enough, but surely you can see how average that team is?

I'm a Hibs fan, that's why I post on here. I never said anything about Arsenal's quality. They're quite obviously very average right now. I never said otherwise.

Reports in the last few days a loan deal back to France so he can play and sort himself out a bit. He's a kid who's parents died over the summer. That's not some excuse Ive come up with, that's the story.

[Magpie]

Wolves are enjoyable to watch, I’d like to see them win something under Nuno.

[Iggy Pope]

Top goalie though. Why don't you rate him?

I’ve no confidence in him. I love the Arsenal and have done for a long time but he has errors in him. The goalkeeping position is one that Arsenal have been trying to sort in years as you’ll know.

Arsenal haven't tried to sign another first choice goalie since getting him. He's really good. All goalies have errors in them. He's been excellent since joining.

I’ve watched goalies all my life. I preferred when Arsenal had Martinez in competition with him, and they gave him a good run last year. But they’re skint and took the cash thems the facts. Now it’s the error prone Leno with the gloves. I don’t think he’s really good and there’s not a player at Arsenal I’d come close to describing as excellent so I have to disagree with you.

I don't think that's a fact at all. Leno is an excellent goalie, all the stats show it. If they wanted to keep Martinez, they would've. You dislike him fair enough. He isn't going anywhere, though. Best keeper they've had since Lehmann.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i'm seriously thnking of taking the 99p cash out on arsenal winning, having only watched the first half i began to realise why they were evens to win, at home tae..

[Iggy Pope]

I don't think that's a fact at all. Leno is an excellent goalie, all the stars show it. If they wanted to keep Martinez, they would've.

They took an offer from another EPL club that they couldn’t turn down and have done for over a decade now. It’s been a long time since Arsenal simply held on to in demand players that they wanted to keep. And I don’t agree about Leno, sorry.

[Robbo6-2]

They sold their sub goalie for 20 million. They correctly didn't refuse that. It's hardly Van Persie to United. Arteta made a choice and sold the other one. This really wasn't a case of losing an important player. Leno is first choice.

One goalie isn’t enough and I’m not sure about what they have left in reserve. I disagree again. Martinez performed soundly last period of last season. Van Persie is one case in several of Arsenal cashing in / failing to maintain. Arteta isn’t making these choices! I need to leave it though as I think you know more about what appears to be Arsenals lack of money than I do. Safe to say they are getting gubbed here again and looking more bottom 4 than top 10 and it’s painful.

[Hiber-nation]

Martinez is a better keeper than Leno, showed it at the end of last season and is continuing to show that at Villa. Top quality keeper.

[MWHIBBIES]

Arteta obviously didn't think so. He only got a chance when Leno got injured then immediately lost his place again. Leno also has 300+ more career games. He's been great for years, not 6 months.

[Magpie]

Could do with a few games out tbh, give Nketiah a chance.

Immediately? I remember him starting the community shield game at the start of this season, then stating he wanted to leave to be a guaranteed starter elsewhere. Just because a manager doesn’t automatically mean he’s better.

[MWHIBBIES]

Immediately? I remember him starting the community shield game at the start of this season, then stating he wanted to leave to be a guaranteed starter elsewhere. Just because a manager doesn’t automatically mean he’s better.

When Leno was fit yeah, he was back in.

[Magpie]

A few million I would think.

Not sure why Arteta didn’t include him in his squad, something must have happened behind the scenes surely.

[JimBHibees]

I wonder what Mesut Ozil is making of Arsenal this season.

They would have been better playing him. Much better than some of the average guys they have in that squad. The non performance of Auba was terrible. Seems like Arteta struggling to manage the huge egos.

[Onceinawhile]

Think they just lost the quadruple treble:thumbsup:.

Nope. That was the pentuple treble they lost. Due to the rona they managed to do that before they managed the quadruple treble.

[hibbysam]

I think he's better based on what I've seen, that's all.

When Leno was fit yeah, he was back in.

And I totally disagree with that. Martinez had to bide his time, he then got his chance and took it, was outstanding the end of last season, far more assured than Leno ever has been. 10 games less last season and 1 more clean sheet, and no real surprise that when he came into the team it coincided with a massive upturn in results, including the run to the FA cup final and ultimately winning it.

[Magpie]

Arteta obviously didn't think so. He only got a chance when Leno got injured then immediately lost his place again. Leno also has 300+ more career games. He's been great for years, not 6 months.

Martinez started the community shield final and Leno was on the bench.

[MWHIBBIES]

Martinez started the community shield final and Leno was on the bench.

So? What is that supposed to prove? Leno wasn't match fit and Martinez undoubtedly earned his chance to go again at Wembley. That's all.

He's going through a bad spell but, it's not as bad as your attempt! 😉

[hibbysam]

You said he was dropped as soon as Leno came back, which wasn’t true at all.

Yep

[MWHIBBIES]

Yep


You said he was dropped as soon as Leno came back, which wasn’t true at all.

Yeah, alright guys, you've got me. Leno didn't play the community shield after months out injured.

[blackpoolhibs]

I watch quite a bit of Arsenal, and my son is a season ticket holder, well did finally manage to get one last season for the first time after a few years of being some sort of member who could get tickets sometimes, not. really sure how it worked.

We discuss Arsenal a lot, and his opinion on the team is they are a very average team, nowhere near a top 4 side or even a top 6 team anymore.

He rates Tierney and likes the early look he's had on Gabriel, but the rest he says could go and he wouldn't really miss them.

He wanted Wenger out, but did not think they'd get worse managers in to replace him. Surprising that eh, who'd have thought that? :greengrin

When you see see slow motion of a pass being made there can be several frames when the foot is striking the ball.

Is the pass considered to be made when the foot first strikes the ball or when the ball leaves the foot ?

[Andy74]

Should be when it leaves the foot surely?

Agree though that the drawing of the lines and the ‘fine margins’ are not what VAR was meant to be about. Can’t really be clear and obvious if you have to get the protractor out? Or does offside not have to be clear and obvious?

So it's all just left to VAR and these ridiculous decisions coming down to millimetres.

Offside is supposed to be black and white so not clear and obvious, it’s either off or it’s not. However, that rule is a shambles. He’s gaining zero advantage by his hand being there, which is what offside is there to stop, the attacker gaining an advantage.

Secondly the foul in the lead up that resulted in his arm being in that position, they have said that wasn’t clear and obvious. It’s as clear as it comes, he’s all over Watkins.

oh my 1-0 finland with a comedy finish..no real


ah well, maybe the scottish coach might tell the players that it's not a criminal offence to freakin shoot at goal

[hibby rae]

Scotland have been absolutely infuriating. Just like the previous two games. Dominated and been very poor up top. We seem intent on just playing the ball inside once at the box and it just hasn't worked. But there has been no plan B.

[brog]

Jeez, that is taking Scotland's bad luck to extremes. Could have been a pen or a foul at the other end. Finnish girl breaks free, our keeper saves well, ball rebounds, hits Finn in face and bounces over the line. Unreal!

[Greenfly]

When have we ever seen a home side dominate so much at Easter Road and end up with nothing? ... oh, yeah - right enough!

[davhibby]

Kerr should never have been kept on after the Argentina game in the World Cup. That’s a group we should’ve been winning easily

[gaz1875]

I feel sorry for the Scotland team, how they couldn't hit the target more than once in the second half is beyond belief, and the winning goal was a total piss take.

[hibby rae]

I'm inclined to agree with you. Even the home win against Albania was made tougher work than it should have been.

Finland and Portugal are decent, but we dominated every game, and with the squad we have we should be winning the group.

I was listening to a podcast with Joelle, think it was Danny Denholm's, and she was saying that game needed some experience brought on to just stop Argentina playing and see it out. It seemed to have an awful inevitability to it.

Just like this game tonight.

I don't think the squad is the problem. They are good players. It would seem there was only one game plan and it was used every game.

Crazy how France won the World Cup and he didn’t even score a goal, maybe not even a shot on target? But that shows just how good his all round play is without scoring.

I’d take Giroud over Lacazette. Isn’t Giroud ahead of him in the France team too?

Fun fact: Giroud scored more goals tonight than Lacazette has in his last 20 appearances.

It may not have been a good call but Aubameyang and Lacazette is not nothing in replacement. Giroud is an excellent player but he wouldn't have scored the goals Aubameyang has since they got him.

Aw man shut up.4 away at Seville. In the Champions League. The Gunners are light years away from this.
Lacazette has been a huge disappointment and Aubameyang is heading that way as well having not kicked a ball in weeks.

Ole is a nice guy but a mid table manager, going from Norwegian league to EPL without doing anything of note, he got the job on sentiment alone and you know that never works out well.

Aubameyang is a far superior goal scorer to Giroud. No question about that. A bad patch of form doesn't change that. If your judging on 1 game, where was Giroud in the recent FA cup final between the sides? Or those 4 months he went without a league goal when Arsenal finished second to Leicester? He's a great player but he's not flawless.

Please don't tell me to shut up. No need.

I have to say I was never a fan until I heard him speak before and after our tie with Molde. He should surely have stayed there, pretty certain his personal fortune was already placed (although a mans wants are unlimited, first rule of economics), but he had a job there that was suited to him. Disaster at Cardiff, went home and settled at Molde and he first came to Manure as a temp if I remember right, while the Norwegians were in close season and he still had that job to go back to?

Could also argue a case for Giroud scoring the opener, winning a penalty and having an assist in the Europa League final between the pair last year.

Definitely. Giroud had a good game that night.

Aubameyang is having a rough patch but he's hit at least 22 league goals for 6 seasons running. Giroud hasn't hit 22 league goals once. Giroud is an excellent player but Aubameyang is a far better goalscorer. It's Lacazette who Giroud would replace in the squad

No question in your mind perhaps. Giroud was a fine player at Arsenal and much loved by the fans. Anyone would know that if they’d been there.
Second to Leicester? Again, the stuff of dreams for a club hovering bottom 4 and 11 points and 14 goals behind a side they spent 20 years ahead of.
I was commenting on Girouds fine performance and comparing it to the dreadful position his ex club find themselves in. You jump in with more exaltation of the underachievers at the Emirates. There’s clearly no point in asking you to shut up.

I mean, maybe you could stop being a rude **** and just talk about football? Considered that?

The facts prove Aubameyang is a far better goalscorer. That's why there is no question. The Arsenal fans did like Giroud but they were pretty happy to see him replaced with Aubameyang as well. I doubt you'd find 1 person disappointed with that. His 4 goaless months while Vardy was banging them in kinda changed opinion with arsenal fans I think. He was a good striker for Arsenal. A top class one like Aubameyang in form might've won them that title.

4 players who would transform any squad. It wasn't like Giroud was carrying Arsenal. At times they were winning in spite of him. He really wasn't a consistent first choice striker. Probably the worst first choice striker Arsenal have actually had in the past 20 years. Wright, Henry, Van Persie, Adebayor, Aubameyang all put up much better seasons than he ever did.

You obviously prefer him to the current players, thats fine. Daft IMO to judge them purely on a league position and horrible run of form, though. Clear quality still there, just not being shown.

I put him on ignore weeks ago, so much better than constantly bickering as he replies to your every post trying to wear you down.

I agree re Ole, made a real mess at Caddiff and had rebuilt his rep at Molde, he needed to have another season there before moving to a bigger club. Yes it was a temp deal, a stop gap but sentiment got in the way and he got the gig, Poch was the man or even Bielsa at Leeds and look how they play with so called lesser players.

i missed the first half but just saw the goals at HT, the ball was passed to brown very hard from just a few yards i don't think he had time to react, it was the shocking tackle by christie that led to the goal nothing else imo




though i do agree scott brown is not having much influence nowayears

The minute the players he inherited such as McGinn, Dylan, JC etc moved on we saw how poor the signings were and went into free fall

I’m sure about 15% of his signings at us barely even made it on the pitch and there’s only a couple of them left and Marciano is the only one who regularly plays. Says a lot about how quickly we’ve had to move them on when he had only been away 18 months at the end of the last window.

Domestically he scored 22 in 33 last season. A good season but I’d expect an OF striker to hit those heights every season.

Other than that his goal scoring record is really nothing to write home about.

Look at the squad Celtic are operating with. Look at the money spent. That’s pretty abysmal.

As for Hibs, over 30 signings with them all having already been moved on other than 3 of them with not one of them having been moved on because they had outgrown us. The minute NL signings made up the majority of our starting 11 we started dropping down the league like a stone.

He made a few good signings, but overall they were not a success. Our form when they made up the majority of our team and he didn’t have the players he inherited would back that up. Nearly 30 players being moved on so quickly would back that up. Not one of those players really moving on to bigger and better things would back that up.

Then we can move on to

Slivka
Mallan
Horgan
Shinnie
Bogdan

Who could never manage to tie down a starting position

We’re now at about 60% of his signings who you’d really struggle to say were ‘good’ signings. That’s a pretty minging strike rate

That’s not including guys like Murray and Stokes who he binned himself after only 6 months and Milligan who the general consensus at the time was that he was as slow as a week in the jail and probably signed a couple years too late.

Overall, his signings were pretty minging. The evidence was there on the pitch as we dropped down the league as they started to make up more and more of our starting 11 and from the fact that near enough all of them have been moved on so quickly with none of them at all getting a bigger move.

To put this into perspective, Heckingbottom signed 10 players - Allan, Doidge and Newell probably all successes, Jackson and Naismith relatively decent and Vela, Middleton, Maxwell, James and Hallberg not so much to varying degrees.

They're both in the huff because they thought they'd be playing somewhere else this season.

I hope they've put up more fencing around Parkhead.

I don't understand why he got rid of Gordon but I equally don't understand why Lennon perseveres with this guy ahead of Scott Bain (who's a pretty competent keeper).

Don’t really rate Bain either, especially at this level.

He’s got to be worth a go ahead of this huddy though.

Bain had been chucking them in recently too. Had a howler last week against Sparta Prague.

27 goals conceded in 11 games 😂

To put that into perspective, Hamilton have conceded only 3 more than that in their last 11 and they’ve conceded 8, 5, 4 and 3 twice in that run.

To be fair though Hamilton haven't been playing Europa League football so it's not a direct comparison.

Huns on next I can hear the PA psyching up the Subs with their repertoire
