2020-21 season non-Hibs games thread

[Keith_M]

Has The Rangers' much predicted collapse finally started?


No.


As hilarious as it would be, if Celtic win their two games in hand they'd be 15 points behind with 30 to play for. Can't see the huns losing five of their remaining 10 games.

Just hope we pump them post split!


Sorry, sarcasm on my part.

[Since90+2]

Scotland will beat England at Wembley. Every major tournement we hear how great they are.

Well they got to the semi final at the last world cup, that's pretty good going.

If we can get away with only losing by a couple of goals we'll have done well.

Salah really is a cheat...goes down like he's been shot every time someone so much as breathes in him in box
Modern football unfortunately, he is not alone 🙄

[Sir David Gray]

Liverpool must now focus on getting top four. They are struggling.

Hope Everton finish above them. :tee hee:

[SHODAN]

Liverpool aren't having the best title defense.

[J-C]

Liverpool lost the league the day they decided to play centre midfielders at centre half instead of spending money to replace Van Dijk. You can't expect to win a league of England's quality by doing that.

Van Dijk is a huge miss but playing Fabinho and latterly Henderson at centre half is just asking for trouble.

Said the same earlier in the thread, not as if they couldn't afford it.

[JXM73]

Mopes getting pumped again, pleasing....

[Hibernia&Alba]

JFK was in the White House the last time Liverpool lost three consecutive league games at home: 1963. That after 68 home games unbeaten, too!

[easty]

England are one of the best teams in the world without a doubt. Scotland will get pumped at Wembley.

Think that was the consensus before the Calcutta Cup in the egg chasing yesterday too.

[easty]

Told my old man to watch out for Mount and Foden at the start of the season, great talents. England's new Lampard and Gerard (may even be able to fit them into the same team)?

Foden is an incredible talent, at least a level above Mount.

While Mount is a good player, I’d be surprised if he came close to Lampard or Gerrards level.

[Since90+2]

Think that was the consensus before the Calcutta Cup in the egg chasing yesterday too.

Was it? Most reports I seen felt Scotland had a chance due to England's injuries and there being no crowd.

Scotland were also the shortest price they had been at Twickenham in over 10 years so not sure what consensus you picked up that we'd be pumped.

I dunno what price we’ve been previous years but we were 7/1 yesterday. England 1/6. If that’s not a clear favourite then I dunno what is.

[The Harp Awakes]

Just watching the Sheffield United v Chelsea game and McBurnie in particular. Inceredible he is playing at EPL level. Offers absolutely nothing. Breaks into a trot now and then but contributes nothing and looks as if he can't be @rsed.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Nice finish from Mount there.

[The Spaceman]

Really want to see Werner do well. Think there is a brilliant wee player in there once he gets a bit of a streak.

Not a clue a) how the ref missed it, b) how the Lino on that side missed it, and c) how it wasn’t a yellow card.

[hibee-boys]

With Mcburnie and Burke up front I was shocked to see Sheff Utd had scored, and yes, Chelsea OG. £30 million for that pair, 2 league goals between them this season! Hope neither of them are anywhere near the Scotland Euro squad. I’d fancy them coming for Nisbet in the summer but doubt they want to take a chance on another Scottish striker!

Foden is an incredible talent, at least a level above Mount.

While Mount is a good player, I’d be surprised if he came close to Lampard or Gerrards level.

Agreed. Foden is a brilliant player!

Neither will come close to the levels Lampard Or Gerrard achieved though. Being Scottish I'm chuffed at that.

[The Modfather]

Fodden already has a league title and looking like he’ll add another this season, 1 FA cup and 3 league cups all while still only 20. It looks like he’ll have a similar, perhaps even better, trophy cabinet than both.

Mount seems a decent talent but don’t think he’ll ever be as good as Gerrard or Lampard were.

Bit more to it than trophies, though. Wilshere was a better player than Foden at 20 and he went nowhere due to injury.

[The Modfather]

That’s subjective. I’d probably say Fodden is at a comparable level to Wilshire at the same age. Fodden is undoubtedly lucky to have come through at Man City when he has, but not sure there will have been many 20 year olds that can match what he’s already won. Not many 20 year olds that are regulars in a Guardiola team either.

I don’t see him being a talisman to single handedly drag his team on like Gerrard, but I don’t see Lampard as that either. Gerrard is quite unique in that respect IMO. If Fodden continues as he is doing I think he’ll comfortably fit into a comparison with Gerrard and Lampard in terms of their careers. He could get an injury and never recover or Man City might become just one of the pack after Guardiola and his rate of trophies dry up.

Two league titles already. 17/18 and 18/19.

[The Modfather]

Two league titles already. 17/18 and 18/19.

Right you are. A minimum of 3 titles at the end of this season, 1 FA cup 3 league cups all by 21 is some going.

[Magpie]

Wilshere’s best season in the PL (10/11) saw him get 1 goal and 3 assists in 35 appearances. Foden was 1 assist away from matching that yesterday.

In what respect do you think Wilshere was better?

[CloudSquall]

Well they got to the semi final at the last world cup, that's pretty good going.

Well obviously the other parts of football. He got zero assist or goals vs Barcelona but went toe to toe with Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets and beat them. Wilshere was not an attacking midfielder like Foden is. He was an exceptional talent. Foden is also an exception talent to be fair, could be a wonderful player.

Fair enough. I’ve seen Victor Wanyama go toe to toe with those players and beat them. The defensive side of the game Wilshere was much better but Foden is the better of the two IMO.

:faf: come on. Wanyama sat back and had 19% possession. Wilshere went toe to toe with them for real. Wilshere was totally different. More McGinn to Fodens Allan. He let Nasri and Arshavin etc play. He won it back, drove, moved it forward.

I’d even go as far to say that Wanyama was a better defensive player to be fair.

Wanyama’s first season in the PL with Southampton compared to Wilshere in 10/11.

Wanyama-

Appearances- 23
Minutes played- 1,659
Tackles- 65
Tackles won- 53
Aerial battles won- 53

Wilshere-

The defensive midfielder was the better defensively? No way.

Again, its like comparing Marv to Mcginn to Allan. 12 cm difference between them and you are comparing aerial battles.

Wilshere was real class on the pitch. Bit of a tit off it and really ruined by injury.

Dele Alli was also better than Jack Wilshere at his age.

[MWHIBBIES]

Dele Alli was also better than Jack Wilshere at his age.

Again, totally different players. Allis best patch was playing as a second striker, Wilshere was a central midfielder. Based on stats sure. Actual quality though, not in my view. Alli is finished at 24 without a trophy to his name or an injury to blame. Wilshere didn't have a club until the 18th of January and still has the same number of league appearences as Alli this season :faf:

I thought we were comparing the players at 20? It was only a few posts ago that you were claiming that trophies aren’t everything. Alli was superior to Wilshere in both attacking and defensive aspects when you compare them at that age, the stats are there to see. You are hyping Wilshere on a game against Barcelona, there are many players who have played well against the top clubs, Dele Alli went toe to toe with Kroos, Modric and Casemiro in a 3-1 win over Real Madrid too the season they went on to win it.

Reminds me of the Tony Watt V Harry Kane debate. Aye Kane has all the stats in his favour but has he scored the winner against Barca?

Stats have Mallan as better than McGinn for Hibs. There is a little more to these things normally. Stats are a good basis for 2 players playing the same role. Wilshere and Foden did not do that.

Agree. I think the St.Mirren players gave up after the penalty, probably decided it was a lost cause playing against Celtic and the referee. I think there is a lack of serious scrutiny of refs, partly because the TV coverage is sparse and the co-commentators are either useless(Walker) or bias (Boyd).

Is it really 26 years since the Toffees won something? When I was a kid it seemed like they won the league or a cup every other year.
Ancelloti's a class act and hopefully he can be the one to end 26 years of hurt, a top 4 finish and he will have paid back his wages 10 fold.

Yup it is. I remember going to the 1970 FA Charity Shield pre-season Chelsea, the FA Cup holders v League champions Everton who won the game. They were some smooth outfit then.
They've had top sides periodically since but nothing like the dynasty of winning coaches over at Anfield. Although Moyes kept Everton competitive his side could be stultifyingly boring and maybe he hung on too long.

Yes, they were champions in 1984-85 and also won the European Cup Winners Cup. It was an excellent side which would have a good chance in the European Cup in 1985-86, but it wasn't to be after Heysel. They won the league again in 1986-87.

There's no decent teams in that league, unfortunately Hearts are floating at the top of the cesspit.

Just turned the Hearts game on and what a bunch of thugs Neilson is assembling. Halkett is such an average footballer.

Hilarious to watch them struggle and seeing Neilson and McCulloch sweating it out on the side lines.

QOS have some speedy players which Hearts can’t deal with.

There’s a few teams (Dundee Raith Dunfermline) who are half decent on their day, but drop far too many points drawing with each other.

And this is the hearts team their fans reckon would finish 3rd in the premiership? ****ing LOL

This - said it at start of season. They are lucky they haven’t got anyone running them close.

They have lost 3 games already this season. 4 if you include Alloa in cup.

Last time Hibs and Hearts got won league they only lost 3 in the full season.

Hearts will have the league wrapped up way before then. Hearts lose the odd game but the other challengers can't take advantage.

For family reasons Queens are my second Scottish team always look for them to do well in the Championship. For all their opponents had possession and territorial advantage how often did they test the keeper? Once?

Of course Hearts will win the league but they strut about thinking it’s a walk in the park. All the credit to Queens tonight.

Kickback is good reading if you are inclined.

I think there is now an acceptance that they are a bit shambolic and really badly run. They remind me a lot of Hibs during the Calderwood/Fenlon/Butcher era. A bit rudderless, making bad signings and not really having any plan for where they are going.

If that team was in the Premiership they would be in a relegation battle. They will need to improve big time if that isn't to the the case this time next year.

[Carheenlea]

Didn`t realise Hearts were playing tonight. May have tuned in for some laughs had I known. They can probably afford the odd duff result here and there but they seem to be having more of them now than earlier in season. Just a bang average side in the grand scheme of things.

They had a six week head start on the other teams with starting their pre season at the same time as the Premiership sides so no wonder. Caught them cold.

Most of them on kickback seem realistic as to how crap they are. A lot of happy clappers but I’d say the majority know they are looking at bottom six unless Benny factor pumps yet more money in. I don’t think that will make the slightest difference as their recruitment is a shambles. They have wasted tens of millions on utter garbage.

Nothing to do with him being a Hearts guy but he is not very good.
Hearts must be hoping their player recruitment will improve under the new guy that came in from Preston.
Ours has improved under the Ross regime and the midfield additions in the last window have all but completed the rebuild.
As ever we will have adjustments to make in the summer in relation to players out of contract and at the end of loans unless we can persuade Marciano, Newell & Irvine to stick around.

Liverpool really paying for such a small squad and playing them every game for 3 years. Undoubtedly still an excellent first team, among the best in the world, but past that they're average.
