2020-21 season non-Hibs games thread

[MWHIBBIES]

I read a lot of your replies MWHibbies , some i agree with and some I don't. I totally disagree with this one. A normal foul is part and parcel of football but a deliberate attempt to take somebody out is out of order and not in the spirit of sport.

It's not really any different from pulling a shirt or a tactical foul to stop a break though. Don't get me wrong, it's immensely frustrating. I've rarely been angrier than games in the championship Vs Falkirk where they would just hack Mcginn as he started a run but, assuming a booking or red card is given, that's it. When there is promotion or a cup or a CL place on the line, I'd take someone down every time.

[h18eeynick]

You're old enough to remember dirty Leeds, the career of Graeme Souness and suchlike. It's hardly a new thing.

I get what you are saying and yes it happened but for a professional sports commentator to be saying that it should be a tactic to try and prevent a goal is simply wrong in my opinion. Players make a split second decision when making a tackle but deliberately bringing somebody down that has got the better of you makes you second class in my opinion. When Porteous halved Morellos at Easter Road near the East Stand touchline last season i was quite happy as I hate the guy but what Porto did was totally wrong and he knew what he was doing

I remember being at a Hibs v Hearts game at Easter Road a few years ago and they kept holding players at set plays by the jersey and the ref ignored it. They won 1 nil at a corner with minutes to go after lots of holding. They didnt even look at the ball . I came away shocked at how a team could do that and worst still , get away with it

See he threw his players under the bus tonight again.

We are Well shot of him. Loose cannon and a disaster waiting to happen at Celtic. Hopefully he remains there until the final in December as it gives us a better chance of beating them than if they had a tactically astute manager who doesnt throw a tantrum constantly.

[CloudSquall]

As much as I loved Lennon's time at Hibs his constant arsing about with team lineups in big games is beyond bizarre, has it ever paid off?

It was dreadful defending it should never have got that far.
But once he does you have to stop him no matter what take the lot man and ball. Very naive to say or do otherwise you would have to say.

Chat going about that Browns legs have gone. Have to say the two 90mins I seen in the league so far he was uncharacteristically well off it.

[Prof. Shaggy]

It’s like Kamberi up top at Tynie on his own against three hammer throwers on his own but worse tonight. Lennon should concertante on boiling an egg instead of trying to act like a matalan pep.

Tremendous piece of arrogance from Kerrydale Street:

'Hibs-level manager, Hibs-level result'



Is that right? :rolleyes:

Given 3 years on the bounce they have been punted out early doors definitely a Celtic level result.

[JimBHibees]

Assuming Eduardo was injured, you would have thought either Ajeti or Klijmaal both having been bought for millions would have started. One thing is for sure playing Christie up front took him out of his best position also. Playing Ntcham the whole game at what looked like number 10 was also very odd imo. Watched bits of it and don't think there was that much between the teams and to me not a huge shock this result given Ferencvaros comfortably tucked away the Swedish champions last week.

Chat going about that Browns legs have gone. Have to say the two 90mins I seen in the league so far he was uncharacteristically well off it.

The best position for him now is as a sweeper behind two centre halves. He said he’d know when it’s time to stop. Every player says that but it very rarely happens and they play one season too many. Said once he’d like to finish playing at er. There’s a nice wee rumour to start. He doesn’t need the money as he’s earned big bucks at Celtic. As for Lennon just same old, same old. Everybody else’s fault. Their team has looked unbalanced and they haven’t a settled squad and it’s showing. They shouldn’t be put out by teams like Ferencvaros or is this now the standard of Scottish football. Sevco looked clueless in trying to break down Livi so I fear all the good work getting the co- efficient up could soon be undone.

Could this season actually be more of a level playing field for Scottish clubs in Europe? All leagues have just started. Usually most of the Scandinavian leagues have been well under way for example. Add the fact it's only one leg. The likes of Maribor losing at home to an Irish side is a real eye opener. Wonder if Aberdeen and Motherwell can get themselves into the groups.

I reckon a 4th place finish is already a good bet for Hibs this season and a draw tomorrow would keep up our current, points in the bag, advantage over our rivals for 3rd.

5th place Ross County have just gone down to 10 men against bottom of the league Livingston, so the way things are shaping, Hibs gap to the pack should still be a generous 5 points after today. Kilmarnock & Livingston wins will leave Motherwell on their own at the bottom with a game against Celtic tomorrow.

Big chance tomorrow to make a big gap between us and the rest

[Off the bar]

Tierneys trophy record is phenomenal. I read after the FA cup he was averaging about 17 games per trophy won. That’ll be more like 15 now.

[Mibbes Aye]

Interesting game in the Community Shield given that Tierney and Robertson both started. Robertson played very well in an attacking sense in the first half, even though Arsenal were the better team. Almost all of Liverpool’s play went through him. He was quieter in the second half.

Tierney showed better in defence and was often drifting into the centre to cut out attacks. Nothing was getting past him really.

Arsenal seem to be coming back to a stronger position. It will be interesting to see how Arteta deploys Saliba and the guy from Lille. It looks all set for a back three with Luiz as the stepping-out defender. That means Tierney playing LWB, though he looks more than able to play on the left of a back three.

Big questions for Scotland in how they deal with having Robertson and Tierney available. Fit the players into a system? Accept you have two top-class players and build a system around them?

Just saw Arsenal’s goal again in the match summary, it really is a piece of work, literally from their own goal line. Worth watching on the highlights or YouTube or whatever.

Arsenal weren’t the better team in either half. Great goal by a very good player, but they didn’t look like they’d closed the gap on Liverpool at all to me.

I thought they had a decent 5-10 mins right at the end of the game, but that’s all. Liverpool had all the territory pretty much throughout, and in a real game, rather than a glorified friendly, they’d have stepped up a level and won today. Arsenal did very little in the middle of the park.

Tierney did play really well, though it’s little wonder he looked better defensively than Robertson, given that Robertson hardly had to do any defending.

Arsenal look good on the counter, but this arsenal teams still going to struggle against other sides who sit in against them. Liverpool took the game to them, and they had chances to break. The majority of league sides won’t be like that. I don’t think Arsenal have enough quality to break teams down.

Agree to disagree. Arsenal were all over them for a significant period in the first half. And Robertson didn’t have to defend much because Arsenal have a bias towards going down the left, especially when Lacazette is missing. Saying that, their goal came from a pass from Liverpool’s left......

The pass that led to the goal was a cross field ball from about 40 yards out, I dunno if you’re trying to apportion blame to Robertson there, but he’s not to blame for that goal at all.

Arsenal won’t finish as many points behind Liverpool as last season, but the gap will still be significant. Arsenal can challenge for a champions league place, not the league title. They’ll be challenging for 4th with Man Utd and Spurs. Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea will be top 3.

No point watching it now then I guess. How can you be so certain? Plenty could happen over 38 games.

Arsenal beat them in a real game recently in the league as well.

And then lost to Villa in their next league game. And finished 45 points behind them. The two teams aren’t close at the moment. Liverpool are a far far better side.

I’m not a Liverpool fan, I don’t want them to win the league again next season, but it’s easy to see how much better they are than Arsenal.

Of course. No one said different. The point is, you said Liverpool would beat them in a real match. The last real match they played, Arsenal won.

Liverpool were poor 3/4 years ago as well. They might be poor again in 3/4 years (especially with their lack of business in the past 2 years). Arsenal are making plenty positive moves and have beaten Liverpool, City and Chelsea at Wembley recently.

I’m obviously not certain, but Man City and Liverpool are miles better than the rest. Chelsea have brought in some very good players this season.

I don’t think Arsenal or Man Utd or Spurs are as good.

Let’s not forget where Arsenal just finished in the league. 8th. 2 points ahead of Sheff Utd and Burnley. 4 points ahead of Southampton.

Have they really improved the squad that much? They’ve signed a couple of defenders who are apparently pretty good (but neither of them has an international cap).

Like I said...Arsenal will be closer to the top teams than last season, but they’re not at that level just now.

All just my own opinion.

Arsenal will come back, and Liverpool will fall away. It happens. Not this season though.

All about him constantly. Risking 3 points to try and make some weird point to the board/fans. Done the same here too. Embarrassing tbh.

Did exactly the same at Hibs. Bizzare team selections to prove a point. Not sure what point he's trying to make this time though.

They should have enough to beat Motherwell but playing no recognised striker when there's 8 million quids worth of them on the bench is very strange. That's like us playing Mallan up front with Doidge and Nisbet on the bench lol

Watching Celtic right now, they're toothless, is Lennon trying to be too clever by not playing a striker, he has around 4 on the books yet doesn't play one. He did all this nonsense at Hibs before we got shot.

Yep, Glasgow can’t compete with full time professional athletes.

Brest Marseille is still 1-2 but so scrappy, such poor technique and players absolutely blowing out of their erchies after 60 minutes. They are nowhere near ready physically. This is going to be an odd season, especially early doors when players are getting up to speed.

What’s the score with the offside rule? The Spanish player is 100% offside when you count the players on the pitch, but there’s a German player who’s over the goal line, I’m guessing he still counts.

Tbf, the mistake was Armstrong. Gordon was poor but Kane also took it very well. As a goalie, you maybe take the chance with Kane blows it, I dunno.

Absolute sickener though, the second Griffiths free kick would've been an iconic moment for ever.

Yep however every goalie in the world comes for a ball where Kane volleys it at knee high within the 6 yard box. Let's not forget the first goal where he dived out the way of it. Only avoided the criticism because he played for Celtic. Horrific performance
