Really enjoying the refs letting challenges go this season. For too long players have won fouls by falling over at the slightest contact but the EPL refs have been great so far. Here's hoping ours are the same.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

As much as the Eepeeell has pundits waxing lyrical about technical abilities, it's often only when it looks like it might boil over into a punch up that it becomes exciting.

[The Modfather]

Exact same players that Mourinho had but Spurs today looks night and day as to how they are set up.

Edit, exact same players minus Kane.

Mourinho’s tactics were often all out defend and hope Son & Kane can create something out of nothing, rather than counter attacking IMO. Early days but encouraging for Spurs.

He's a very good player and will be fine at City. They need a proper striker; it will be interesting to see what happens with Kane.

Exactly, the dons are being used as a side who've prepared well for Europe and the new season by those bashing the club for not getting bodies in early enough, yet here they are, root toot toot, oot the league cup, beaten by bloody Raith Rovers. :faf:

Perhaps they'd have been better off waiting for better quality players, that do come available the later the window is open.

Only the bigot bros can afford squads to make a dent in Europe. Unless we get big money for Doig the squad will only be increased with a couple of loans for cover. The dons result today says it all.

If we had no injuries, we could have a bench that included the likes of Stevenson Hallberg, Cadden, McGregor, Gogic, Wright, Allan, McKay, Bradley, Doidge, and that does not include anyone else we might bring in before the window closes.

It's not bad is it?

I think we are on the right track for us to make a dent in one of the European comps, probably the bottom one but we have to start somewhere. :thumbsup:

Couldn't agree more. No club can account for 5 or 6 injuries. You'd have squads for 30 plus players.

Think they have a right back just about signed and have been linked with a striker so they are getting stronger but still think they are a bit short as expect them to loose a few still. Also think they need a CB

I’m surprised to hear that you think that about Benfica.

Alot of cracking players - Otamendi,Weigl, Joao Mario, Grimaldo, Rafa, Pizzi, Vertonghen, Everton, Vinicius.. on paper they should be a very handy team looking to challenge to get out Champions League groups I’d have thought.

Although in saying that, when they played Rangers last season someone (who I’m presuming was you) said similar in that they were in a bit of a transition and weren't currently a great side.

[Lancs Harp]

Not sure why you are surprised to hear that Calum if you have seen much of Benfica over the last season ir so or indeed watched tonights match. Struggling at the mo by their own standards not that great a surprise looking at the players they have sold over the last year or so. Way off the pace in the portuguese league last season hopefully better this season but would be happily surprised if they finished top of the pile.

I think that Benfica are struggling, by their historical standards, because Portuguese football does not attract the sort of money available in Spain or Italy or Germany. That has impacted on teams such as Porto and Benfica in much the same way that Scottish clubs have against English teams.

It’s interesting watching the ‘second tier’ of European sides at the moment. Famous old names like Benfica or Marseille who are operating in the E5-20 million bracket per player instead of the E30million and (way)over bracket the super clubs operate in. As the financial gap between the rich and the ridiculously rich is getting wider the more it’s looking like a super league in all but name anyway. These teams are hoping for players that want to find bargains who want to play every week instead of being 2rd or 3rd choice at Chelsea, or to stumble on a coach with a tactical approach that will give them an advantage. Lyon and Atalanta have shown it’s possible in recent years.

I disagree, having Celtic and Rangers in the group stages is good for the coefficient but it also means they're playing on multiple fronts and means their squads will be stretched game wise, playing every thursday/sunday can be hard going and could help the teams just behind them like us and Aberdeen.

I understand that view; however, we couldn't even qualify for the Europa Conference League groups, so the coefficient is of little value. The Old Firm are going to finish in the top two league places regardless, and European failure reduces their income, so, on balance I prefer to see them fail asap. :greengrin

If we had got the draw Aberdeen did I'd say there's a good chance we'd qualify for the Conference League. As with lots of things it's the luck of the draw.

I’m not sure if I subscribe to this theory. The negatives can be outweighed by the added value of experience, confidence boost and financial gain. And remember that Celtic and Rangers have big squads to deal with the issue.

This is how I feel, if we had had the swedes that the dons had in the first round we would have won 1-0 at home then got beat away. We only have our selves to blame this year. For the record until Daz got sent off I thought we looked most likely to score but ultimately we should have been going there with a 2 or 3 goal lead.

Yup before the red card we looked like we night edge it last week but who knows ...sadly we never got to find out

[green day]

They have but Saints playing well and should be more than 1-0 up.

And yet, they are 1-1 Mccart mistake at penalty

[CapitalGreen]

That’s taken a 0 off the end of his price tag.

[JimBHibees]

They’re going on about Aberdeen doing better next week on a better pitch. I actually think Qarabag would benefit from that as well, look decent with the ball on the ground

Yep a better pitch will definitely suit Qarabag more than Dons I think. In saying that 1 0 defeat is a reasonable result for them.

[green day]

Prediction - St J will get a man sent off tonight.

Probably for simulation

Only plus is I can’t see either squad lasting that well playing Thursday/Sunday. St Johnstone especially.

Agree with that although they will be able to afford to strengthen Thier squads without having to sell presumably

Paok are normally a decent side, getting put out by Rijeka was definitely not the embarrassment some are still making out.

It wasn't a total embarrassment but a host of missed chances at home and a few moments madness plus comedy defending cost us in Rijeka. A fully fit squad and I reckon we would have went through.

Yep a very frustrating tie but we go again this year. If we can secure third and us, Rangers or Celtic win the Scottish then it's guaranteed group stage football.

When it comes to who you get it's all luck. We could have finished 4th but won the cup and drawn completely different teams to St Johnstone.

Hard lesson for this team to learn but you need to be taking your chances at home. Hopefully this is a driver for the rest of the season. Europe aside it look like a lesson has been learned.

[Smartie]

It might sound harsh, but our failure in Europe was down to our own failings.

We didn’t kill off the home leg when we were dominant and we didn’t add enough depth over the summer to be able to get through a tie against an opponent of difficulty we knew we might face.

We’re not out because of a difficult draw, although we might have got away with our own failings if we’d got really lucky and drawn a much weaker opponent.

Put it this way - we’re not going to do better next year if all we do differently is to go in hoping for a better draw. We need to attack better, defend better, and have an adequate squad in place for the round when the better teams come in.

If we don’t, then brace yourselves for more “fine margins” and “big games” chat.

[Since452]

Rijeka showed their calibre last night. Rijeka then PAOK is arguably the toughest route to the groups a Scottish side faced this season. Certainly UCL sides. Extremely unlucky.

Only the Galatasaray tie is tough. Rijeka are a much better side than LASK if anything last night is to go by. They looked a really poor side.

Aye I know they had good results in Europe last year or the year before. But they were shocking last night.

[weecounty hibby]

Galatasary then LASK is tougher tbf.
Not really when you consider they got papped by Galatasaray and still got a chance at LASK. So it was pretty easy to get past Galatasaray, win or lose they got another shot at qualifying for a group stage

[Smartie]

What a load of *****, you must be a hoot at parties...

What, so next year do you think we should just rock up and hope we get a better draw?

FWIW I'm happy with almost everything Hibs are doing at the moment.

I was hacked off at the European failure, and still am, because I don't think we were adequately prepared. I think Jack Ross probably agrees, and the money that doing well in Europe can generate could go a very long way, so it was a defeat that stung.

For those who say Rijeka are a decent side - yes, they probably are. We're not far from being better than them, but to go into games like that in future with confidence, we'll need to improve, not moan about draws.

I think there is truth in this. If we'd taken our chances in the first game we could have approached the second tie differently. The sending off changed the second tie completely and if we'd had the CF in by then that Ross himself said we needed things might have played out differently.

It's definitely a bad day at the office, but it was a difficult tie also which played it's part in those things happening. Like yourself I'm disappointed as I don't think we gave a true reflection of this team's abilities but we're continuing to recruit, something we've done well so far so if it takes a bit longer to get the right guy then I'm okay with that.

A better draw would help, of course it would - especially if we are going to compare how we have done against other Scottish teams who had easier draws.

Unfortunately in recruitment you can't just have everything you want in place for a particular time that is still early in the window. What we will be trying to do is make improvements in the squad each window so that you have more good players already here when we play those ties, hopefully, next year.
