Rangers v Hibs

[NC1875]

Hanlon ***** again. Get him to ****

[Green Reaper]

Need some subs now,,, sht

[Wheat Hound]

Hanlon again. Times up for him Im afraid.

[Stuart93]

Ah the good old weak as **** mentality shining through.

We crumble like **** constantly

[wookie70]

Get Cabraja off. He looks miles away from a first team 0layer to me.

[Lancs Harp]

Hanlon has to win that challenge. Come on lads back up the park and test their flakey defense

[Victor]

Hanlon again, no one else to blame this time.

Poor defending to leave morelos like that

Plenty of time and shown we can score here so not sure why so many folk give up the second we go behind

[Stuart93]

Hanlon done again

[Glory Lurker]

It's all gone a bit rubbish now.

[GreenCastle]

It’s obvious huns are trying to cross it as much as possible.

Hanlon at fault for last 2 goals - sadly looks miles off it.

[Zambernardi1875]

hanlon turned inside out, what was the ****ing game plan at halftime. rangers there for the taking tonight too

[Hibs90]

Hanlon is so far past his best.

Constantly concedes goals. Get the odd good game but an absolute master of being weak and getting outmuscled.

Times up Lee aswell.

[HH81]

when you give a team enough of the ball they will eventually do something with it

Not always. England had most of it against France and they couldn't score.

Hibs have been good tonight but defending hasn't been good enough for all 3 goals.

[GreenGray]

SIGN A LEFT SIDED CENTRE HALF!!!

Hanlon’s needing replaced, looked ****ing amateur there

[cabbageandribs1875]

[flash]

Transfer window first priority is a left sided centre half.

We have already caused them major problems, no reason why we can score again!!

[supermcginn]

Think you’ll find it’s Cadden losing his man at the front post.

I think you'll find Hanlon has been dreadful for all 3 goals.

[HibsGW]

Hanlon is absolutely finished. Love him for what he’s done for us but he needs replaced. You’d love it if every team in this league had him at the back.

[Mcbizz1998]

Hanlon just plods around getting shrugged off the ball and beaten with ease by anyone who bothers to try.

[Del Boy]

Hanlon errors on all 3 goals

[Since452]

People will still say we're lucky to have Hanlon

[half.time.draw.]

One half Hibs strike again FFS

[Gatecrasher]

Played so well here but two defensive lapses have cost us. We have to be better.

Whatever happens from here on there has been a lot to be encouraged by tonight though.

I normally nod along with your posts but have to disagree, we haven't played well at all. A couple of good attacking moments doesn't equal a good performance.

Our defence is a mess.

[Zemamma10]

Hanlon weak header for first, weak marking for second and hopeless for 3rd

[Bishop Hibee]

Cabraja was murder there too mind

[supermcginn]

Hanlon is absolutely finished. Love him for what he’s done for us but he needs replaced. You’d love it if every team in this league had him at the back.

Exactly, it's unbearable watching him he's a total liability.

Hanlon errors on all 3 goals

The usual suspects will be on soon to tell us we’re lucky to have him.

[CL0762]

I think you'll find Hanlon has been dreadful for all 3 goals.

I was literally typing as I seen the third go in.

Cadden shocking for first 2, Cabraja and Hanlon rotten for the third.

[CMac1988]

Game will be going off shortly if this **** doesn't make changes. Been desperate for subs since half time.

[Stuart93]

Should’ve been a change at 2-2.

LJ constantly slow to react

[GreenCastle]

Felt like we had to make subs at half time but we have just encouraged huns to attack.

[Shanksaidno]

LJ to blame ... should have changed things 10 mins ago

[Vault Boy]

When it really counts, we’re shown that we’re still an absolute state. Completely nullifies our good work in the first half if we don’t get back into this. So sick of glorious failures.

[Ray Donovan]

Normal service resumed.

Unfortunately so.

[ShadesLongThrow]

It’s obvious huns are trying to cross it as much as possible.

Hanlon at fault for last 2 goals - sadly looks miles off it.

And the first with a really poor defensive header that only went 10 yards straight to a Rangers player.

[Stuart93]

When it really counts, we’re shown that we’re still an absolute state. Completely nullifies our good work in the first half if we don’t get back into this. So sick of glorious failures.

No doubt we’ll be told we never expected anything at Ibrox and we were better than we thought

[HH81]

KM struggling with an injury?

[cabbageandribs1875]

oh the vile orcs have found their voices

[Stuart93]

KM struggling with an injury?

Imagine the surprise if so

[skyehibee]

We look knackered after that first half

[hibee_girl]

Magennis off

Melkersen on

[blackpoolhibs]

Got to say i've backed Hanlon up to now, but he's had a hand in all 3 goals tonight, and i think it's time to replace him as soon as we can.

[Stuart93]

We’ve been piss poor this half. one sub up front wont make the difference

[SHODAN]

Hibs TV stream down lol

[AT8]

And that’s Hibs tv down now

[Mcbizz1998]

KM struggling with an injury?

He’s on a yellow. Presume/praying that’s the reason.

[CMac1988]

Good challenge by Campbell. Kyle needed to off but not sure Melkerson is the answer but we'll see... Youan needs benched also.

[Brightside]

Zero in midfield so we are getting pumped. So we bring on a striker. LJ is lost

[Jones28]

Should’ve taken our chances in the first half. Could’ve been outta sight at half time. Our defence isn’t strong enough to withstand pressure

we look shattered - subs neede.

this game only going one way and huns will score again soon if we do nothing.

[Hector Mudflap]

Hanlon - very bad for all three
Newell three crosses not clearing the first man - driving me mad (though he's my pet hate for sure)
Yohan - offering nothing

Why cant LJ make a change?
We are being over run in the midfield

Get Newell and McGennis off and McKirdy and Melkerson on
No point kidding on we have a midfield so why not just miss it out

Just my opinion .

[cameronw-hfc]

Commentator seemed to think Magennis was hobbling

Totally normal to be feeling it after a year out snd only 2/3 games. This games been much higher tempo than the other games hes played so probably just overdone it a little.

[Brightside]

The usual suspects will be on soon to tell us we’re lucky to have him.

So replace him.

[Zambernardi1875]

look at the ****ing space they are getting

[Brightside]

We do need to score 🤣

You have to win the ball first.

[Bobo]

We allow far too many uncontested crosses into our box. With a suspect Defence it's no surprise we concede more than we score.

Looked a threat going forward 1st half but barely threatened this half. Youhan needed replaced at HT but has still managed to play more minutes than he's worth.

[Stuart93]

So replace him.

It’s up to hibs to do that, which is why he hasn’t. Recruitments a joke.

[Tyler Durden]

Give McKirdy and McGeady at least 15 mins. Nisbet is done aswell

[WeeRussell]

Commentator seemed to think Magennis was hobbling

I thought he just remarked that he’s had his injury issues this season? Could be wrong though.

I was assuming it was time for a change and him being on a booking probably made manager’s mind up. TBH I’ve been a bit nervous pretty much since his booking after his sending off cost us 3 points against Saints!

[One Day Soon]

I’m sorry but I don’t care what signs of improvement people may want to see, no points is no points. We will now have lost 7 of our last 8 games. And this, Boyle being out for a year aside, is our strongest team.

From 2-1 at half time to this is crap. It speaks to a lack of steel and spine. We’re in a vice and the next three games is just going tighten it and tighten it.

[NC1875]

So replace him.

He should’ve been replaced long ago, trust me.

You surely can’t disagree ?

[blackpoolhibs]

Yip, he might have scored but Ryan has been missing most of the first half and all this half. Put him back to centre half, get Hanlon off and put a midfielder on who knows what they are doing there.

[Unseen work]

I was praising Hanlon but he’s really soft for both goals

[Stuart93]

We could have played him upfront for that game.

[AT8]

Hibs tv back up but unwatchable. This is a joke.

[cabbageandribs1875]

one change made

[KeithTheHibby]

So replace him.

Should be easy after tonight, he’s been utter *****. One of the softest centre half’s I’ve seen in my time watching Hibs.

[Unseen work]

Quietest I’ve seen Newell in a ‘big’ game too. Normally ups it and shows a bit of class in these sort of games

[BSEJVT]

That’s the first time I have seen us this season and defensively we are just unbelievably bad

Cadden Cabraja & Hanlon are beyond awful

That defence will get us relegated

[Brightside]

He should’ve been replaced long ago, trust me.

You surely can’t disagree ?

I’ve always said replace him once we get better. We don’t have better.

[Stuart93]

This rangers team were there for the taking tonight. Absolute woeful at the back but we’ve barely got our foot on the ball

[Tricla]

People having a go at LJ for not making subs at half time are just looking for any reason to have a pop. We were good first half. Why would the same 11 not come out for the second half. Some folks need to have a go far outweighs any knowledge they have of football. We've been better than I expected over the piece. I'd have taken a respectable defeat taking into account where we are just now. Some perspective needed.

[SHODAN]

Pretty sure the last time he got suspended for the Derby after a game against Rangers we went on to win 2-0 in the NYD at Tynecastle..

[Stuart93]

I’ve always said replace him once we get better. We don’t have better.

Which is more down to our poor recruitment as opposed to him being any better than decent

[CMac1988]

Looked a threat going forward 1st half but barely threatened this half. Youhan needed replaced at HT but has still managed to play more minutes than he's worth.

Our only full back capable of stopping crosses coming in to the box is on the bench. Would've put him on in place of Magennis and took Youan off for Mitchell or McGeady. Fish for Hanlon. Too many mistakes yet again. We gamble by putting players on who are better going forward but they're poor return in terms of assists and goals doesn't make up for the amount we concede as a result.

LJ gets credit for how well we played in the 1st half but his naivety when we started to struggle has cost us more than any player. Still some time to go but we've fast reverted and are struggling at the minute.

[Glory Lurker]

Always a chance at 3-2. Let's not despair.

[Brightside]

Should be easy after tonight, he’s been utter *****. One of the softest centre half’s I’ve seen in my time watching Hibs.

He’s been one of our best CBs in the last 30 years.

[Trinity Hibee]

I’ve always said replace him once we get better. We don’t have better.

I can’t understand how Fish has not been given a run of games. Hanlon is so far gone now and has been for a couple of years. Hanlon won’t be playing with us past this season.

[blackpoolhibs]

Stevenson is still better than Cabraja.

[Gatecrasher]

This rangers team were there for the taking tonight. Absolute woeful at the back but we’ve barely got our foot on the ball

To me this is the worst thing about tonight, a good chance to beat them and we decided to sit back and let them come at us.

[Hector Mudflap]

Has Newell actually touched the ball in this game? Taking anonymous to new levels.

who?

[One Day Soon]

Were you this negative first half? Jeezus

You get **** all for being front at the end of a first half.

[SHODAN]

Hibs TV is trying very hard but it should probably just give up tonight.

We just haven't got the quality to play a full 90 mins, as decent a first half as it was, we tool for the full game against decent teams.

Second half has went back to looking like a Sunday league team. Awful second half performance.

We put a lot into the 1st half and players like Nisbet haven’t played at this intensity for months.

We we’re up against it before half time and we don’t look as sharp 2nd half.

[Smartie]

I was praising Hanlon but he’s really soft for both goals

He’s actually played well apart from the awful contributions at the goals.

(I know, I know).

[Iain G]

Needs fresh legs on here, need to close them down and get it forward

[SHODAN]

Ah yeah, Aidan McGeady exists.

[CMac1988]

The guy with an assist to his name. As stupid as it sounds neither of our midfield pairing in Porteous and Newell have done much since that goal.

Nisbets just back from injury and played 78 minutes. Ffs there’s a lot of legitimate criticism going around but really?

🤣🤣🤣 That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read.

Absolute garbage statement. 30 years, laughable comment.

Even clearing the ball we can’t get it more than 10 yards away. Keep inviting pressure back on to us.

[Stuart93]

Yep. The usual for this midfield when a team decides to put a bit pressure on them

We arent helping ourselves by having newell and porto on the toes of the centre backs. Its making us so deep

Never been any doubt imo. I think Lewis is pretty much better in every respect. Having Youan in front of you will always make things difficult though

He's just spent nearly a year out injured, completely logical to take him off. Would rather lose Nisbets threat and keep him fit rather than keep him on for the chance he might score and possibly re-injure himself.

[KeithTheHibby]

He’s actually played well apart from the awful contributions at the goals.

The midfield will remain the main issue of this squad unless we make some major changes in January. Porteous being launched in there tonight says it all.

Really struggling to see what changed between the first and second halves here, but it’s bizarre how much space we’re giving them.

I think that tells you how bad our midfield is when a centre back we are looking to sell in January is seen as an improvement in this area.

[007]

4 minutes additional time in the 1st half when Rangers were losing, there were no subs and I don't remember any injuries.

[WeeRussell]

I actually think we were probably made to look significantly better than we have been due to rangers being as poor as I’ve seen them in some time, in the first half. As well as a couple of well-taken goals.

They’ve improved a great deal in the second and we’ve been shown-up for the same poor side we are.

Main positive for me was seeing Nisbet back. He makes a difference. A lot of work to go with this team though.

[Mcbizz1998]

We are playing as if we are 4 goals down. Have a bloody go Hibs, show a bit of fight

Exactly, we have just given up since their 3rd.

[cabbageandribs1875]

radio commentator very kind indeed just calling hibs 'toothless' in this 2nd half

[CMac1988]

How Youan has managed 90 minutes is beyond me. Tidy player in there but there's a lack of desire unless he's given the ball in plenty of space. When Nisbet went off it should've been McKirdy on rather than Melkerson. Porteous should've been taken out midfield at half time.

How this game has planned out has been poor and LJ is too blame for most of it.

[Heisenberg]

Youan getting the minutes he’s had tonight ahead of McKirdy is baffling.

[Stuart93]

Yep, mentality of this hibs teams terrible

[dp00]

Stevenson booked.

Least he is trying to get close to them

Hope we have a plan to get a few of these out the door.

[Zambernardi1875]

first time ive seen newell 2nd half and it was run and get the ball for morelos, thats cute :rolleyes:

[One Day Soon]

High pressing high intensity LJ said when he joined

Hahahaha.

And that is the part that pisses me off most about this. It’s increasingly become verbal diarrhoea but that statement was made at the very start and we’ve never been anywhere near it.

[KeithTheHibby]

That has to be the end for Hanlon.

Should be his last game.

[Stuart93]

Complete ****ing MEH after a good first half

Chucked it

[J-C]

This 2nd half sums up Johnson's tenure so far, bizarre subs, players staying on when they've been rank all game (Youan) and the inability to motivate a team. It just isn't working out, these aren't terrible players but for some reason they look like it.

[number9dream]

Abysmal 2nd half. In terms of attitude, application, quality… everything

Yup. Needed to keep getting at that rotten Rangers defence but allowed ourselves to be pushed back and bullied. Looks like a chronic lack of fitness for some as well.

[Unseen work]

Deary me Henderson

[Sir David Gray]

Sums Youan up, shot out for a throw in.

[HH81]

Yohan shot, good position. Thrown in. Crap

[Jim44]

I was thinking we had got our mojo back in the first half but the second half cancelled that. We’ve been awful and will take zero points from our next three games. By then we’ll be in dodgy territory league wise.

[blackpoolhibs]

Unlucky Youan.

[SaulGoodman]

Unlucky Youan.

There is plenty evidence to suggest that a lot of these players are terrible though. They’ve looked rank under three managers now.

And has a laugh about it

[Ray Donovan]

Can we have another 4 weeks of the world cup instead of Hibs please.

[flash]

What the he'll was said at half time, go in bouncing 2-1 up and come out and play this badly in the 2nd.

Easy option blaming the manager.

Pretty confident he didn't tell them to play like this.

We just have a fair few players who lack character.

[Glory Lurker]

Sigh.

[BILLYHIBS]

That shot by Youan ?

Dearie me

Second half has been a sackable offence I am afraid

[Bostonhibby]

Unlucky Youan.He certainly is

Finished bang on 95 even tho the ball was in play for about 45 seconds of the added time 😂

Fking Scottish refs man

1 sub in inj time, didn't kick a ball for 2 mins - he adds 5 seconds on the 5 min

There's hardly any of the current squad who I would actively try and keep.

Take a miracle to get these players to play a high press. Newell, Campbell and Porteous in midfield today shows that...

One paced and move about like a crab. Side steps and zero aggression.

[Brightside]

Utter rubbish. Shambolic football from start to finish. 2 goals hide how bad that is. No shape. No patterns of play. Poor subs. We are half the team we were last season.

[jeffers]

Hopefully no one watched that first half and thinks it’s a reason to persevere with Johnson. The guy is a slavering clown who is taking us into a relegation fight.

Not as bad as I thought it would be.

[Unseen work]

Am I the only one that thought Cabraja was decent? Second half everything came down his side and he had little support.

Worst I’ve seen Newell. I can accept a poor performance in terms of quality but he just seemed miles off it. No niggly tackles, not in anyones face and nothing on the ball whatsoever.

[CMac1988]

Pish. Lost 7 in 8. LJ takes somes credit for how we started but his inability to see it was falling apart at the end of the 1st half tells me all I need to know. Failed to do anything about it at half time. Let it go as is despite more of the same at the start of the 2nd half. Could see a goal was coming and boom. Failed to do anything about that and boom again. ****ing hopeless manager. Finally makes changes and they're all nonsensical. He can **** off along with the Gordon's.

[Stuart93]

Mental change from the first to the second. That rangers team were there for the taking.

Alarm bells starting to ring about LJ for me. Can’t motivate the team. Bizarre substitutions which usually come too late.

His starting 11 is a complete lottery nearly every week.

[Unseen work]

Also Porteous proves being a defender who is good on the ball is completely different from a decent midfielder

[swin82]

Yep. I’m tempted to add cabraja to that list as well.

Totally agree with you on this one 👍🏻

[Wheat Hound]

Utterly pathetic 2nd half. We offered zero attacking intent and the manager was unable to affect things at all. The positives of the 1st half have been largely negated.

Can you add Newell to the list please - the boy plays with pampers on, always ***** the bed in games. Awful player and he's the first I'd be placing on the transfer list. How anyone can defend him or even begin the claim he's the 'best midfielder at the club' is beyond me. Heart of a pea, be great at hide and seek though :aok:

As for Hanlon - enough is enough Hibs :aok:

[berwickhibee]

Joe Newell dissapearing act in the 2nd half.

Youhan half hearted in everything he does.

Rangers *****, we were worse.

What happened to that team that went in at half time?

History has told us you can't hold out for 45 minutes at ibrox.

The ref didn't need to bother getting involved as we didn't bother turning up second half.

I know our boys haven't got the legs to press high up, but a bit of effort might have helped.

[SaulGoodman]

A good team would’ve beat Rangers tonight.

St Mirren or someone like that.

[flash]

Utter rubbish. Shambolic football from start to finish. 2 goals hide how bad that is. No shape. No patterns of play. Poor subs. We are half the team we were last season.

We were absolutely fine in the first half.

[Del Boy]

I’ll just be glad to stay up this season. Johnson needs to go. Another rebuild needed. Awful, awful signings.

[Victor]

What is clear, is that we need a leader on the pitch. There is no drive, from anyone. I think a major clear out is on the cards.

There will be someone on in a bit telling us Newell is the least of our worries.

[Zambernardi1875]

needed 2 subs at HT and even after 10mins of the 2nd half it was needed changed, biggest worry was LG did nothing and couldnt motivate the team at all.

[ehf]

Hopefully no one watched that first half and thinks it’s a reason to persevere with Johnson. The guy is a slavering clown who is taking us into a relegation fight.

:agree: he should be binned now but they will wait until after Livi beat us, and it will be too late to get someone in before January.

[wookie70]

That was utterly abysmal in the second half. We sat off. Gave them space, were weak and cowardly and looked completely amateurish. We have the look of a relegation team to me and I'm interested to see what LJ has to say as he was a big part of the problem. Porteous in midfield was never going to work, Youan staying on, Cabraja instead of Lewis. The amount of times our back 4 stayed in their shape as a The Rangers forward ran into space was incredible. Noone appeared to be trying to influence or read the game. They were almost like a bar football team and The Rangers players just stood in the massive gaps between stationery defenders. That was a Butcher type half and every 0layer was looking for someone else to take responsibility

[Callum_62]

We were absolutely fine in the first half.We were, how anyone can say otherwise is beyond me

Ofcourse a game lasts 90 mins and the 2nd 45 we were far far too passive

A very good opening half though

Newell was shocking second half two poor free kicks and a corner that never cleared the first man then totally anonymous any time he had possession gave it away as usual

Cabraja was poor second half as well deserved to be hooked imho

Hanlon Youan Cadden and Henderson…..Taxi !

[Jim44]

Not as bad as I thought it would be.

The score line, yes, but I don’t think the score reflects out garbage performance in the second half. They took us to the cleaners, should have scored a few more and we are a team with major problems on and off the field.
