2021-22 season non-Hibs games thread

[J-C]

Everton really are in trouble this season, Lampard will do well to keep them up, they look a shambles right now.

[JamesHFC]

Bentancur and Kulusevski look like very decent signings.

[Hiber-nation]

Everton are so poor away from home. They're really missing Mina, every time I see that pair Keane and Holgate at the back they seem to get worse although I'm sure there's more to it than just these 2.

[Stevie Reid]

Will be 15 defeats from 25 league games if Everton lose this.

And right on cue Holgate smashes the ball straight into Keane's face :greengrin

[Sir David Gray]

2-0 Spurs. Son

Everton are in trouble.

They really are.

They've got a really tough run in as well.

Liverpool - 2nd
Chelsea - 3rd
Arsenal - 4th
Manchester Utd - 5th
West Ham - 6th
Wolves - 8th
Crystal Palace - 10th
Leicester - 12th x 2
Newcastle - 14th
Brentford - 15th
Burnley - 18th
Watford - 19th

They're not getting many points from those fixtures. I'd say wins v Brentford, Burnley and Watford are crucial for them.

Spurs fighting it out with Man yoo for 5th place

Big game on Saturday. I think United will win but if Ronaldo and Cavani are out then Spurs have a very good chance. I think Spurs being out of Europe and the FA Cup will actually increase their chances of top four, Conte’s teams do very well when having 5+ days rest between games.

[Stevie Reid]

Everton won four and drew one of their first six league games - so by my reckoning, tonight would be 14 defeats from their last 19.

[JamesHFC]

4-0 Spurs

[Scorrie]

Oh no how bad are Everton. 4 down. This could be 7 or 8

[Stevie Reid]

That early second half goal was so predictable.

[J-C]

Brutal defending, comedy stuff.

[JamesHFC]

Wow, sublime finish. 5-0, Kane.

[Scorrie]

5-0…

[Hiber-nation]

Some finish by Kane and a great ball by our old pal Doherty 😁

As a long time Evertonian, I am very concerned that this may be the year that they finally get relegated. Only hope is that Burnley, Norwich and Watford are worse. Although I thought Watford were OK yesterday against Arsenal

Sign of a great striker, wrong foot 1st time and back of the net, all the time in the world with that defence though.

better game between forest and huddersfield in fa cup once again im sitting watching scott mckenna and cant believe this is the same guy who was at aberdeen. he has become a player who does the simple things like gets the ball and gives it to someone more creative totally understanding his role in the team. fair play to him what an improvement.

Steve Cooper is a decent manager. Was close to getting Swansea promoted on a shoestring budget.

[cannastar]

totally agree iv banged on about steve cooper on here before gets the best out of decent players and improves average players no end.

Some very much needed goal difference for Spurs, now overtaken United on that front.

City win the league by 10 points? You joking.

Liverpool are winning it this season. I have a feeling.

Liverpool still have to go to city, and have a harder run in for me. Think city will extend away towards the end of the season.

Only games city have against top half sides are Liverpool, wolves, palace and West Ham, it’s a fairly straight forward run in for them.

Liverpool have the following top 10 teams, that’s 4 of the so called other 5 top 6 teams - city, arsenal, spurs, United, Southampton, wolves.

Liverpool would have to have an incredible end to the season for it to be close in my opinion (obviously football isn’t played on paper).

I don think there’ll be 10 points between whoever wins it and doesn’t now, although I do agree that City will still come out on top.

Our lack of goals will likely mean us dropping into the bottom six over the next three games. We should have had a top six berth, if not 4th place sewn up by now but injuries, transfers and loss of form have rendered us toothless.

Fingers crossed for a miracle.

We’ve got the international break after the Aberdeen game so hopefully a good time to get players back into action ready for Dundee Utd and Hearts.

[Sir David Gray]

Yes that would give us 41 points which is the average number of points which have been required for top six over the last 10 completed seasons.

We will need to find a way to score a goal though if we want four points!

Michael Owen Poch won't mind losing because he can get a premier league job at the end of the season. Absolute rocket.

Aberdeen are out of it. Ross county have a horrendous run in, so fully expect them to fall short. The rest all play each other. I think 3 points will be more than enough between the three games, expect us to get 4/5 though.

Aberdeen are probably out of it although they arguably have the easiest three games out of all the 7 teams who are still able to make up the final 3 top 6 places.

They have a great record v us at Pittodrie, Dundee away which they should be winning and then Ross County at home which I reckon they'll feel they can win. They actually have an ok home record this season it's their away record which has been terrible so they'll feel confident about winning their two remaining home games and then also their one away game against the worst team in the league.

Having said that I do still expect them to finish bottom 6.

As for us I'm not sure where our 4 or 5 points are going to come from sadly. If we get 3 or 4 players back then I think we need to really go for it v Dundee Utd and then try and get a point at Pittodrie (realise that's up first) or Tynecastle but I don't see the line up we've had to play recently being able to get 4 or 5 points from our next 3 fixtures unfortunately.

As daft as it sounds, we haven’t lost in our last 5 games. Now that’s included 3 0-0 draws and a win in the cup. Aberdeen could easily be another 0-0 or 1-0 either way, but I fancy our chances at home to United. Hearts game will take care of itself.

The good thing about the fixtures is how widely they are spread with Hearts game a month away. Got to hope we have a few of our key players back by then.

There's none of the 6 teams directly below them that will be capable of picking up 13-14 points more than Hearts in the 8 games which are left between now and the end of the season.

Even if beat Hearts in the last two derbies (assuming of course we make the top 6) we would still need to pick up at least 7 more points than them in the other 6 matches.

Bearing in mind that two of those matches would be against Rangers and Celtic, realistically that means we probably need to make up at least 7 points over 4 games.

Not going to happen unfortunately, in truth 3rd place was done shortly after the return from the winter break.

First goal never a pen for me, Kent is at it

Second Morelos is off, then again depends on this weeks offside rule

Red Stars second defo on, then again also depends on this weeks offside rule. It’s hard to keep up

Then Red Star miss a pen I was surprised they even got.

And they say Scottish refereeing is pish, and that’s without var!

In summary Rangers have probably been better side, and I hate var

Should be a red card for Aribo a few minutes ago.

As far as i understand, the first phase of play is finished after the defender gets a header on it. At that point Morelos hasn’t become involved and then his previous offside doesn’t matter. I’m a bit like you though, I’m not 100%.

Fair dos man, it must be correct. It’s a glancing header from the cross that leads directly to the goal so I don’t see how it’s a different phase of play.

Offside use to be relatively straight forward, now I'll be honest I haven't a clue how it works.

[hibbysam]

Because he intentionally plays the ball. Him making an arse of the header essentially goes against him, double whammy 😂

Just seen the McGregor save, off his line by about a foot, what's VAR looking at? and Kent dived for his. Foreign refs are as bad as Scottish ones.

[hibbysam]

Leeds getting battered again?

64 in 28 they’ve conceded. How Bielsa lasted so long with a clear lack of plan B is incredible. Aye his football was exciting but it was never going to be a roaring success against top sides consistently. Certainties to go down for me, Burnley know how to stay in the league.

The Rangers to play the Thursday before Scottish cup semi final weekend if they get past Dundee.

[Sylar]

Rangers appear to be chasing Europe this season - their Thursday night performances are chalk and cheese from their domestic performances. If it's a deliberate choice, it's a baffling one: win the league, and you're almost guaranteed direct entry to next year's UCL (and the £40 million or so that comes with that). Progress in the UEL and you're almost certain to be dumped by a Barcelona etc...

Some of their players will definitely be away next season - Kent, Morelos, Kamara and even Ryan Jack, all showing some serious skill during this campaign.

I don’t think it’s a choice, rather a consequence. They don’t change up very often, therefore going Thursday-Sunday when the thursday is at such a frenetic tempo is always tough. They’ll have made a fortune between this run, ticket sales and the sale of Patterson to see them well for a while yet. They’ve still got 2 old firm games they’ll be looking to win as well which will sort the league out. It’ll go down to the wire I’d imagine.

Barcelona have exceptional young players. Also in good form since xavi took over. Think they'll be fine.

I didn't see it, but 3-0 doesn't seem to tell the full story. With three offside goals and a missed penalty, Rangers must have had the 'luck' with them to win 3-0. Still, it's a superb result for them; barring a collapse in Belgrade, they should be okay.

By the way the ref was Dutch. That will be the Oranje Order :greengrin

Huge penalty save from McGregor at 2-0 I think? He’s been woeful at times I’ve seen them this season but that was a game changer.

It was an absolutely superb save, but the penalty should have been retaken. Both feet off his line when the ball was struck.

They weren’t. His back foot was still on the line at the point of contact with the ball. Very good technique.

I haven't seen it since last night, but from the footage they showed during the game, and after, even Rae and McInnes said he was off his line.

It's a brilliant save either way. Was a well struck penalty.

Love in? I’m a goalkeeper and can appreciate a moment of extremely good goalkeeping. The overall result I had no interest in - the only positives from it were the coefficient and the fact we will potentially play them in a Scottish cup semi final and they’ll have a tie the week before if they get through.

Very like the challenge in the World Cup, Sepp Mayer the German Goalkeeper taking out the player.
As for some saying its not high? He hits him on the chin with his thigh, and the Liverpool player is not ducking down!!!!
