Hibs v Arsenal

[Scouse Hibee]

After all that messing about with the ticket office.no ID checked!!

[Stuart93]

Some superb work from Hanlon there...wow

[blackpoolhibs]

That is a shocker from Hanlon.

[HoboHarry]

Well that should see the anti-Hanlon brigade grabbing the pitch forks and torches lol....

[CmoantheHibs]

Hanlon makes a big mistake but fortunately the Arsenal boy missed it. Macey stood up well.

[Smartie]

Hanlon just getting that one out the way in a friendly...

Poor stuff from him though.

Very poor.

[Stuart93]

Well that should see the anti-Hanlon brigade grabbing the pitch forks and torches lol....

Na, just another stupid error to add to the growing list from one of our CB’s

Thank you very much for this... Yep, I'm on the audio only... Ye live and learn as the saying goes... Thanks again buddy... :aok:

Well that only took 6 minutes into the new season

[Stuart93]

Well that only took 6 minutes into the new season

Aw it’s not a new list, it’s carried over from last season 😁

[Mikey_1875]

Arsenal GK doesn’t look up to much at all

[HoboHarry]

If Macey had made the mistake the Arsenal keeper just did Andy would have his hands in his drawers...... :greengrin

[Hibiza]

Available on Curtis Sport website mate.

Feels so good being back at Easter Road.

Cheers

[Stuart93]

Still not sure I like us going with 1 up top. Nisbet very isolated up there

[calumhibee1]

This goalie lol

[Stuart93]

Jesus their goalie

[cabbageandribs1875]

woohoo just blow for FT now :greengrin

[SaulGoodman]

1-0 Hibs, howler from the keeper

[Mikey_1875]

Wow, Boyle 1-0.

[Squealing pig]

Shocking 😂

[HoboHarry]

Whoops a daisy :faf:

[CmoantheHibs]

That's a howler and a half😁

[Hibs90]

That keeper :not worth

[Northernhibee]

We’re winning the quadruple this year :hyper

[ShadesLongThrow]

Don’t think this keeper has a long career ahead at Arsenal.

[SaulGoodman]

I’ve never seen a keeper so nervy before and it’s just a friendly.

[Vault Boy]

I cannot express how much I love seeing Scott Allan play for Hibs.

[SHODAN]

Paul McGinn dispossessing Willian, what a time to be alive.

[cabbageandribs1875]

lovely cross from allan to nisbet

[Smartie]

Obviously they're very rusty but this is decent from Hibs.

[CmoantheHibs]

Good pressure setting up a chance for Nisbet there.Goalie done well to hold that one😉

[HoboHarry]

I hope we show this kind of belief against the Glesga manks.....

[Vault Boy]

Martin Boyle flicking it round their former Euro winning right back a few minutes ago was very, very enjoyable.

[Squealing pig]

Arsenal might swap us macey for this goalie

[Pretty Boy]

Tbf to their keeper that was a horrific pass back. Defender could have used his knee so the keeper could pick it up.

[Mikey_1875]

Great ball Scott Allan, great to see that again

[Vault Boy]

Porteous, Allan, and Bradley impressing me.

Lovely move there, off the post from Bradley.

[Squealing pig]

Off the post unlucky from Bradley

[Hibee Mac]

Sounds like Bradley is playing well. Thought he looked really bright in his few appearances last year, I hope he gets a lot more first team game time this year to show what he's about

[Vault Boy]

That Arsenal keeper has recently signed a new deal apparently lol

[Sioux]

Scott Allan is the link that's been missing.

[Smartie]

It is just a delight to watch Scott Allan playing for Hibs.

We have to build a team round that lad, his ability to weight a killer ball is just not something a club can have but pass up on.

Porteous also having a really good evening.

[Hibee Mac]

Odd that they gave him Magennis's number, must have been part of the loan agreement...

[cabbageandribs1875]

Ht 1-0

[HH81]

Nice touch.

[cabbageandribs1875]

is anyone ordering a HT pizza

[calumhibee1]

Arsenal aren’t great at all. The Newcastle side we played the other season were much better than this.

[Bangkok Hibby]

Good movement off the ball and good to see Hibs picking a pass rather than the punt upfield. Hope it's a sign of things to come.
Wonderful to see Scott Allan back, how we've missed him.

[Mon Dieu4]

Arsenal TV is a hoot at halftime, they are acting like that's our best 11 and we are halfway through our season compared to them

[Stuart93]

I like Bradley. Cracking prospect. Looks very comfy on the ball

[Real Emerald]

Scott Allan oozes class, Jackson Irvine couldn’t lace his boots.

[Unseen work]

If Porteous would play and concentrate like that every week he wouldn’t be at Hibs long.

[Smartie]

Arsenal aren’t great at all. The Newcastle side we played the other season were much better than this.

It looks like their first game of the season.

There are clearly players of great quality in there but as a team they're a bit disjointed and individually a few are very rusty.

The Hibs squad really looks thin. Only the 6 (?) on the bench and I hope the players who play the full 90 are up to it and we don't pick up any more injuries.

[MWHIBBIES]

Arsenal TV is a hoot at halftime, they are acting like that's our best 11 and we are halfway through our season compared to them

Tbf, it is very close to our best 11. Only the Doig and Doidge missing really.

[Smartie]

If Porteous would play and concentrate like that every week he wouldn’t be at Hibs long.

He looks like he fancies it tonight.

Porteous has been superb, as has Allan.

Happy with Macey so far as well.

Of course, even just on paper though they’re nothing like the team of old. You’d be gutted if you were an Arsenal fan and these were the players you’d be watching next year!

[MWHIBBIES]

Arsenal aren’t great at all. The Newcastle side we played the other season were much better than this.

Wasn't that toward the end of pre season vs Newcastles first choice side, though.

Arsenal have been poor, but its hard to compare. Think Hibs have also been really good.

[Since452]

When Allan is good he's different gravy. Really hope this is a great season for him. He deserves it.

He won’t be at Hibs long anyway.

[Stuart93]

Hoping we give magennis a decent chance tonight. Wouldn’t mind seeing Mackay either.

[Stuart93]

Arsenal got their big guns on now, was good whilst it lasted

[Billy Whizz]

Hammer on there he too, although he’s not on the team line
Stack of changes for Arsenal at ht, Dabrowoski on for Macey

[Vault Boy]

Very good save from Kevin.

[CmoantheHibs]

Fantastic by McGinn there.

[SHODAN]

Dabrowski is loud!

[MrRobot]

Scott Allan is the man.

[cabbageandribs1875]

campbell and wright for allan and bradley

[hibsbollah]

Is it unlimited subs? I never knew Omar Rekik was at Arsenal

[cabbageandribs1875]

mackay/Magennis for boyle/newell

[Hibs90]

Decent from Nisbet that

[J-C]

Missed the 1st half but so far in the 2nd Dabrowski looks very decent, Allan and Bradley looking very sharp, Arsenal are starting to shift through the gears and looking very dangerous now.

Did Josh Campbell get an extended deal? I thought his contract ran out this season.

[JohnMcM]

Do yellow cards here carry over to league matches?

[Mikey_1875]

Goal Mackay!

[cabbageandribs1875]

2-0 :greengrin

[Sir David Gray]

Yaaaaaaaas!

[CmoantheHibs]

Get in . Mackay scores

[J-C]

Cracking goal, great cross by Magennis.

[cabbageandribs1875]

good corner, good header from hanlon

[Mikey_1875]

Only been on a couple of minutes but Mackay looks really lively

[SHODAN]

Wow.

[cabbageandribs1875]

66 years ago we were 2-0 up against arsenal before they scored twice in the last 15 minutes, 20 mins remaining now



backs to the wall now hibs :greengrin



edit: 1955

[Dr_Regal]

Who the hell is this team and what have they done with my Hibs?

[Stuart93]

Not an overly weak arsenal side either.

We’ve played very well

[Mon Dieu4]

55 years ago we were 2-0 up against arsenal before they scored twice in the last 15 minutes, 20 mins remaining now

We didn't have Drey Wright 55 years ago, it's cool

[blackpoolhibs]

Not complaining, but that goal looked well offside. :greengrin

[green day]

Good goal...offside?

[Mikey_1875]

Penalty Arsenal

[cabbageandribs1875]

McGinn gives away a penalty


was their really a lot in that ?

[Sir David Gray]

Poor tackle.

[Mon Dieu4]

That was never a penalty anyway

[CmoantheHibs]

Great save Dabrowski from the non pen.

[Sir David Gray]

Pepe taking penalty lessons from Saka. :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

I think it's clear we have outgrown the Scottish Premiership and on this evidence even mid table EPL sides.

Time to put pressure on the relevant bodies to allow us to move south.

[J-C]

Who the hell is this team and what have they done with my Hibs?


Change of shape with more emphasis on creativity, Allan being back fit, Bradley, Mackay etc all young sharp and raring to go.

[bringbackbenny]

Marvelous save, wisnae a pen

yup very soft

[Stuart93]

We look sharp going forward

[CloudSquall]

Stop the season!

[MrRobot]

On this showing, there should be no question of Dabrowski starting the season as our number 2 and challenging macey for the starting spot.

[J-C]

What's the deal with Belarin's tache, like a 70's porn star.

Good performance and always nice to get a win

[Jim44]

Held on like grim death at the end but a good run out.

[Mikey_1875]

Great run out and result. Won’t get too carried away but that certainly whet the appetite for the season ahead!

[JohnMcM]

Well, anyone who predicted that is either a witch/wizard or World Cup Winning manager 😂

[Dalianwanda]

Defo worth 26 quid to see Hibs winning against a top half EPL team...GGTTH :flag:

[MWHIBBIES]

Brilliant. Great result.

[J-C]

Very decent run out against a top Arsenal team full of star players, liking the shape and still look dangerous with just the 1 striker.

[Alfred E Newman]

We should ask to join the Premier League. I think we would do OK. 😁

[CMac1988]

Worked hard for that win despite it being a friendly. Well done team. GGTTH.

[SHODAN]

Great win, well done everyone.

[Peevemor]

I saw about 65 of the 90 minutes and I thoroughly enjoyed that (I normally can't be bothered with friendlies).

[HH81]

Hahahahahaha who had 2-1 Hibs.

Me. :-)

[hibee316]

Held on like grim death at the end but a good run out.

Not really, they had a lot of the ball, but we defended well.

[SMAXXA]

Fairly obvious really. We’ve been told we have to and i am sure we’d all quite fancy getting home safely. If they’re all exempt - fair play… but I’d put money on them not being!

That’s the point you have no idea who is and who isn’t exempt and neither does anyone else.

[tynehibs]

Hahahahahaha who had 2-1 Hibs.

Me 😀

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Hard not to be impressed by that, well played lads! 😀

[HH81]

Well I enjoyed that. Nice one Hibs.

[Since452]

Just like the Accrington Stanley game the result doesn't matter. Good run out and good to see the young keeper play.

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

Scott Allan is the man

:agree:

[hibee316]

Tut, nonsense. Accrington Stanley game meant nothing. Tonight’s game meant everything and is absolutely how our season will go

[Vault Boy]

Loved that, what an excellent result. Pub league etc etc.

[London Hibs FC]

Plucky performance from the mid-table English side, worked hard for their late consolation.

[CentreLine]

Does this mean we now have a "special relationship" with Arsenal? :greengrin

Enjoyed the match. Both teams attacking. Arsenal obviously well off fitness, only a few days into pre season but they were poor, no obvious plan. Smith Rowe was very good when he came on, though.

For Hibs, very impressed. Both goalies done well. Looked good going forward, solid in the middle. Hanlon very good after an early mistake

Can anyone give some info on the new shape and how we played it?

Is it a 4-2-3-1?

In the past we've struggled with 1 up top but I'm really keen for us to play that type of formation well to give us more balance across the park

[Keith_M]

That's me heading home and all I can say is...

Wow!

😁

[gbhibby]

Don't bother too much about friendlies. Good result but the European games is what matters. Remember the days that we would expect to beat mid table English teams.

[MWHIBBIES]

He is a total dumplin

He really isn't. Daft to judge anyone on a game after 4 days pre season. He was really good for Arsenal last season.

Great to be back. Good hard working performance. Definitely surprised arsenal by how much we pressed them. Loads to like about that.

[Since452]

A look on Twitter and the Arsenal forum shows just how clueless (or ignorant) some English fans are. Hibbs, Hibernians. Jeezo. I know nothing about Irish football but I still know how to spell Shamrock Rovers.

I paid more attention first half, was otherwise engaged 2nd, but it looked 4231 to me first half.

Nisbet did well in the lone striker role, we had Bradley and Boyle as inverted wingers on the opposite side and Allan in the middle.

TBH it looked good and fairly balanced. I was going to say before we scored that we didn't look like we had all that much going forward, it can be tough to get enough bodies up the park when you play that way but I thought we did fine.

Hibs have never really convinced me with one up front, the only players who have made a decent fist of being the lone striker for me have been Griffiths and Killen, although Nisbet was excellent tonight.

It would be useful string to have to our bow, and it also gets Scott Allan into the position where he can do most damage, although you'd probably want to have greater numbers in attacking positions for the more run of the mill league games, especially at home. Looks a good formation to have against the OF, maybe for derbies or Aberdeen, for tougher away games and maybe against better teams in Europe.

We looked solid defensively again though, against some very good players (acknowledging how rusty a few of them were).

Transfer business from here should be all about hanging onto who we have and if anyone has to go then replacing them well. That, plus adding a bit of depth as we're struggling to get a full squad out.

[Ringothedog]

First time in our history that we have beaten Arsenal

[tamig]

That Arsenal keeper has recently signed a new deal apparently lol

He’s one of their most highly rated prospects. He reminded me a bit of Maka tonight. Hopefully just a nervy one off for the boy’s sake.

Transfer business from here should be all about hanging onto who we have and if anyone has to go then replacing them well. That, plus adding a bit of depth as we're struggling to get a full squad out.Cheers!

Sounds promising, I like the idea of having a few different formations/styles we can play well depending on the opposition.

I wonder what Ross has up his sleeve for the Home games where we're expected to have more of the ball and take the game to the opposition. Those were the games we struggled in last year which resulted in our poor home record, no doubt an area Ross is looking to improve

Arteta: "I think we conceded the first goal, an accident, and the second goal was clearly offside. We created many, many chances but we didn't score. That's what pre-season is for, to take the things that we haven't done well into a training session and then improve."

Thinking about it the second goal did look way offside 😂

[JoeTortolanoFanClub]

I enjoyed that. It was good to be back. We looked well-organised on and off the pitch. Bradley played well.

Apparently there is a Sunderland style documentary being filmed about Arsenal for Netflix. Cameras were there tonight.

[JohnM1875]

He really isn't. Daft to judge anyone on a game after 4 days pre season. He was really good for Arsenal last season.

Thought Pepe was easily their best player. Price tag isn't his fault.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

A look on Twitter and the Arsenal forum shows just how clueless (or ignorant) some English fans are. Hibbs, Hibernians. Jeezo. I know nothing about Irish football but I still know how to spell Shamrock Rovers.

Who are incidentally winning in the Champions League!

Most Arsenal fans couldn't tell you a team north of the Watford gap.

He was good in the latter half of the season for sure was MOTM in a few games I remember. Still overpriced but that’s not his fault [emoji4] agents do a great job [emoji122] [emoji20]

He’s one of their most highly rated prospects. He reminded me a bit of Maka tonight. Hopefully just a nervy one off for the boy’s sake.

Why not just catch it instead of trying the kick [emoji2371][emoji85]

Pre season or not that’s a brilliant result.

Playing against guys like Aubamayang, Lacszette, Pepe, Partey etc can only make you grow in confidence.

Young Bradley making his debut from the start, playing well and almost scoring will be buzzing after that.

Dabrowski saving a pen off someone that cost 70 odd million

Porteous handling two of the best strikers in the EPL.

Now whilst Arsenal will hardly have been trying their hardest, it will be some boost for the boys.

It was a passback

[CloudSquall]

The comments on the forum Arsenal Mania are a hoot:

People don't realise how bad Hibs actually are - they're a Scottish team that Scottish people don't take seriously.
Going to be hilarious if we get torn apart by Rangers next

I think he was caught in two minds wondering if he should handle it or not and just ended up making an erse of it. I felt sorry for the boy.

Good result tonight. How did Bradley play? Did he look like he’ll threaten the starting 11 next season?

Can be happy with his performance. Worked hard, good on the ball…didn’t impact the game too much, but shows he has a lot to offer. I’d expect him to get some decent game time this season.

I think he’ll be loaned out when we sign a few more players. He could do with a season in championship imo.

I think you’re doing him a dis-service. I was really impressed by him tonight and think he’ll be a regular in the first team squad.

Arsenal made the schoolboy error of not fielding a team of their fans nans.

Showed a really good side of his game defensively tonight which i didnt see as one of his strengths and also looked confident on the ball. Hope he does well

[Vault Boy]

I hope you're right, he's shown a lot of quality during his brief stints around the first team.

FWIW I agree with you, think this will be his breakout season.

I certainly didn’t mean to. He’s a young guy with little experience and in his position that means sporadic game time and little chance to put a run of games together. A loan spell at Raith or Dunfermline would let us see what we’ve got on our hands. Recently we’ve had Gullan and Shaw warm the bench and fail to make the breakthrough, Bradley and Shanley look like real prospects, get them playing every week at a decent level.

One of their You Tube channels was the same, they all thought it was hilarious that one of the presenters couldn't say Hibernian.

Why the hell is it that every time we play an EPL team I come away wishing them nothing but the worst for the following season .... before the game it's usually a team I have nothing against ( Arsenal being a case in point ) but practically every time after the game fans of these teams display the usual ignorance, condescension and just downright arrogance that seems to typify their attitude to Scottish clubs and our football in general you cant help but wish ill on them.

And they wonder why we take such delight in watching their national team crash and burn :bitchy:

Looked a good yard offside to me, not even borderline, but happy to take it though.

My worry is that when we are told that things even themselves out over a season that it’s going to even out in a crucial game.

Also thought Dabrowski stole a couple of feet from his line for the penalty save, and that’s something that they are meant to be clamping down on.

Either way, the Arsenal fans that can moan all they want a wins a win :wink:

I think Dabrowski kept one foot on the line, which is the rule now. Gosh looked well offside though.

I thought we played really well, i was impressed with the work that we’d put in but also that when we got on the ball we didn’t just shell it and hope for the best.

[cabbageandribs1875]

one web site saying Arsenal have offered the boy that missed the one on one with Macey(Nketiah) has been offered back to Leeds for £20m, i mind Leeds had the boy on a season long loan from Arsenal the season before last, was quite highly thought of

Pretty much what I said to my Aberdeen supporting family back home. They'll be watching us from below if we can play this season with anything like the football and belief we showed today.

[StevieC]

His heel might have been on the line, not a great photo, but I'm not so sure. Looks more like his right (standing) foot is already over the line, and his left foot is off the ground and moving forward to give him the momentum to dive to his left.

Birmingham fans were another when trying to sign Nisbet. Put me right off them and spent the next few weeks delighting at their defeats. Was completely indifferent to them beforehand The small club/farmers league patter is chronic. Don't know what they get out of it.

[theonlywayisup]

He was about a yard offside when Hanlon heads the ball, if you try freeze framing the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuxU0dEsOQU

The player by the goalie was about two yards offside, who is probably the player that Arteta was referring too.

Re the penalty, our goalies foot is on the line until Pepe is probably a nano second away from striking the ball. Kevin takes a step forward and is probably just off his line when the ball is struck.

Think the guy speaks really well. From an Arsenal perspective, the guy is right there was no change from the poor performances from last season. Many of those players shouldn't be at Arsenal.

That was good from Hibs yesterday, we managed to pass the ball round well, also building up from the back looked solid, great to get back to ER, Arsenal have only just got back to training, but a wins a win. Onwards and upwards.

[GreenCastle]

I do think that it was great PR for Hibs yesterday.

The Saka jersey was a nice touch before the game and also beating Arsenal while maybe a friendly had a lot of social talking from Arsenal fans and rival fans if you look at the comments.

They have 17.6 million followers on Twitter! That’s quite a reach for Hibs around the world.

Think Hibs increased their Twitter numbers also and I’ve been liking the new social media content we are putting out - definitely better interactions and getting a closer look at the club.
