Celtic 3 - 0 Hibs

[hibee_girl]

Starting XI: Marciano, P. McGinn, Porteous, Hanlon ©, Doig, Boyle, Gogic, Newell, Wright, Doidge, Nisbet.

♻ Substitutes: Barnes, Gray, McGregor, Stevenson, Hallberg, Mallan, Murphy, Shanley, Gullan.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Surprised with that as I thought he would go with 4 at the back. Playing Doig tends to mean we’re playing 3-5-2 and that might play into Celtics hand somewhat.

[Vault Boy]

Certainly hard to argue with the team from last week starting again, though I'd have probably given Stevenson a starting spot for this one were it up to me (thankfully it isn't).

Good for young Doig that the manager has so much faith in him. Glad to see we're still sticking with our pretty attacking shape away to Celtic.

[DH1875]

No Eduard for celtic. It's in the stars I tell ya.

[Stuart93]

I’d potentially have started Stevenson today. Felt Doig was exposed a little last week and Tav went passed him with ease a few times. Frimpong could rip him a new one today.

Hopefully does a bit better today though

[JohnMcM]

I would expect to see Frimpong somewhere in their team then.

Yep, many are happy to go with the two youngsters. If we are to be challenging this high in the league for the season I think we need better other options up front.

Agree, Doig could be in for a torrid 90 minutes.

[HibbyKeith]

If Doig is going to get better he needs to play in games like this, I Understand the thoughts on having Lewis in but hopefully this lets the young lad see that the manager trusts him and he goes on to have a blinder.

These are the types of games where the young lad will gain most experience - no problems with him being in the team, expect Lewis to replace him at some point though, hopefully later ...

[HendoDelivered]

Joe Newell masterclass incoming.

[Fergus52]

Jack Ross clearly trusts Gullane to be the main back-up striker this season, nothing wrong with that IMO - especially after COVID.

[Ray_]

Frimpong gave Lewis a torrid time, so maybe work. Needs support though.

I think we’re fine, 2 strikers good enough to start at any side out with the old firm, then Gullan looks like a player with good potential. We really don’t have to play with 2 up top if we have injury problems either.

[147lothian]

Nisbet was injured but looks fine. We look the more dangerous team

[nonshinyfinish]

Nisbet – don't think it was a foul. McGregor got in front of him just as he went to shoot and there was a tangle of legs which seemed to be a sore one for Nisbet.

I’m of the opinion that you never sub a player before half time for tactical reasons. If the manager picks you then you deserve the 45.

Frimpong is getting the better of Doig to easily. Hibs will need to be careful there.

Never seen the first goal but the second was a pish goal to give away, a big difference in quality and it shows.

[erin go bragh]

Game over my backside. We score next and we’re right back in this game .

[Onion]

Hard to watch. Newell been outstanding but not sharp enough up front, missed some half chances and Celtic have been clinical. Doig is having a nightmare, being caught out of position too often and Frimpong dancing round him at will.

Game plan to attack and play Celtic's game backfiring badly.

He's done fine against the majority of teams. He's not the first and won't be the last to get roasted by Frimpong. Who do Hearts have who will cause him problems like Frimpong has?

[SChibs]

I like Doig but teams like Celtic are going to target him as he is inexperienced and possibly the weakest link in our defence atm. That's not a dig at him as I think he is a good player for us and will continue to improve.

If another team was playing a young inexperienced LB I'd be wanting us to give the ball to Boyle to run at him as much as possible too

Rubbish.

Playing well doesn’t always win you games so how’s it rubbish?

Here we are playing well at Celtic park and we’re 2-0 down so what are you on about?

[500miles]

We've been reasonably competitive. Doig is struggling against the very quick and tricky Frimpong, who turned the game for Celtic in mid week.

We might change to 4 4 2 to try and expose Celtic at fullback, but Doig will learn from these games, so i wouldn't be upset to see us persist with him.

[MacGruber]

Stevenson and Murphy at half time for Doig and Wright. And an instruction to shoot. Also advice not to go within 2 feet of Duffy because that is a foul

[CMac1988]

Fannies wanting a red card for Doig going after the ball?

Slavers, including Stubbs.

Completely accidental. That twat got away with no yellow after a kick out and they want a red for that? Delusional.

As for Doig JR needs to take some responsibility. A fair few on here called it right and wanted Stevenson to start. He's came in for a torrid time and it won't do much for his confidence. It's definitely a learning experience though.

Saying that I wouldn't have taken him off in the 1st half. Never been a fan of it and for a player there it's got to be a horrible feeling regardless if the reasoning. Only time a player wouldn't feel too hard done by is if they're dropped to change the shape of the team after a sending off.

[greenlex]

[Zambernardi1875]

Poor distribution from the back, no pressure in midfield and no composure upfront.

[Scotty Leither]

Do we ever get any fouls at this place?

We've got to get at least one midfield player higher up the park - we're standing off Brown and not even pressing the ball on the edge of our box - mix it with them a bit Hibs, FFS.

Cliche time but the next goal is key.

he had a save to make with the second goal and palmed it right back to the danger zone which seems to be his favourite type of save. I think we were the better team for the first half hour. They just took their chance and worked down our left knowing we have a youngster there and they have a good player against him. I get why Ross wants to trust Doig and give him games but I think lots of us feared exactly what has happened and he should have been dropped this week after last week's performance by Lewis. I'm not sure getting torn a new one for two games running will be good for his development. His strengths are clearly going forward but he looks lightweight and inexperienced which he combines with over confidence in trying to win balls that he is then brushed aside. His time will come but he needs to sit out for a week or two

[Stuart93]

Not really what you said though was it?:greengrin

Playing well doesn’t win us points though?

Scoring goals or not conceding does.

It certainly helps

[Stuart93]

To be honest these aren’t the games our seasons based on

If we end up beat today we move on to next week against Hamilton

[JohnMcM]

A couple of poor goals to lose speaking defensively. Score first early in the second half and game on again. Doig is on a steep learning curve here. Newel is getting better every game for me. So far, we haven't played too badly, although it's a bit scary sitting deep like we are and watching their build up play start from the halfway line. Not wholly out of this yet and it'll be interesting to see what Jack Ross does now.

[PeeJay]

Too many players switching off at decisive moments - we gifted them 2 goals - really annoying as otherwise we are playing well going forward and they don't look very good at the back

[The 90+2]

Do celtic fans see him as a legend? Genuine question.

Probably. He was part of the team that stopped 10.

I agree just hope we don’t get a pasting here now.

Semantics isn’t it. You can scrap poorly and win and play well and not. I think the point is if you play well you’ve more chance of getting points than not turning up.

[CMac1988]

Stevenson on.

[Vault Boy]

Lewis on.

[PeeJay]

Lewis on for Doid -

[cabbageandribs1875]

lewis for josh,why couldn't jr have done that for the start, there's one sub down already

[greenlex]

Not so sure it would gave bad any bearing on the goals which if the two started.

[MacGruber]

Fannies wanting a red card for Doig going after the ball?

Should have been a foul to Hibs, Doig knocked it past Ajer who blocked him off, otherwise he was getting to the ball before Frimpong

[Iggy Pope]

Playing well doesn’t always win you games so how’s it rubbish?

Here we are playing well at Celtic park and we’re 2-0 down so what are you on about?

You boldly stated that playing well doesn’t win you games. That’s rubbish. Hyperbole. Lots of it on here.

[Jones28]

We’ve got another 4 mind.

It doesn’t always win you games though, think you’ve been rather pedantic there tbh

[Iggy Pope]

Aye ok. Silly shout from you. Pedantic one from me.

[CMac1988]

Murphy on for Wright.

[DH1875]

Been terrible so far this half.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Murphy for Wright, do it at HT :confused:

[cabbageandribs1875]

good save rocky

and again

[Iggy Pope]

Been terrible so far this half.

Doesn’t sound like we are playing well any more.....

[CMac1988]

Good shot from Brown. Doidge should've done better there.

Good save from Marciano after a shot from Turnbull. Far too much room for Celtic around the edge of the box.

[DH1875]

Probably. He was part of the team that stopped 10.

Well, there you go then.

[Liberal Hibby]

BBC thread says it's 3-0 - they can't get anything right (or is it a prediction?)

[Robbo6-2]

We are miles off it

[The 90+2]

Celtic being given all the time in the world here to shoot from anywhere. Brown is controlling things at walking pace ffs.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i think there will be a 3rd for them before a 1st for us

[PeeJay]

Awful start to 2bd half - no belief in the team - disappointing

[Coco Bryce]

We look shattered here.

[HFC 0-7]

Miles off the pace this half

[TAHibby]

We had a really decent spell in the first half but didn't do enough with it. Just looking at a standard 3/4/5 - 0 now unfortunately

[CMac1988]

Struggling. When we do get the ball we give it away cheaply.

[Since452]

Damage limitation now really. Game over with the 2nd. Celtic controling it as you'd expect 2-0 up.

[Wull]

Turnbull looks a good buy for celtic, unfortunately

[Greenio]

Chasing shadows here

[CMac1988]

Good bit of football from Hibs ending in a good ball in to the box from Doidge. Not a Hibs player in sight.

[wookie70]

They are honking at the back

[J-C]

What do they do in passing training as it's shocking at times, what shape are we playing? is it 442 or 451?

[H18S NX]

This game has went downhill since the start of second half.

[Scotty Leither]

That's a great cutback from Doidge and not a soul bursting a gut to get on the end of it. Kind of sums up our midfield's performance - lethargic.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Even more irritating than the way the match going is - and I understand this is a “feature” that streaming stops when my iPhone is either switched to another site or screen locked infuriating to have the broadcast interrupted every 2 mins!

[Lago]

Do celtic fans see him as a legend? Genuine question.
Some Hibs fans claim he is.

[Vault Boy]

Ooft. Decent chance that. Better.

[Heisenberg]

Poor second half. Not offered anything.

[weecounty hibby]

Still don't think we are playing all that badly. I think celtic will win the league again and not many teams will get anything out of them. Our big games are Aberdeen, Motherwell and Kilmarnock. Anything we get from the bigot twins is a bonus
