Team for Sunday

[flash]

I would be putting out the team that started the second half yesterday.
The balance was so much better and McGeady gives us an X factor we don't otherwise have.
Could really do with big Myko getting fit.

If Porteous isn't sold are we not expecting him to play? Or was it a 2 match suspension?

[Callum_62]

I'd be inclined to start with the same team that started the 2nd half bar Porto

Porto in for Hanlon

Marshall

Porto
Stevenson/cabraja

Newell Campbell

Mcgeady Magennis Youan

That would be my team but I expect Stevenson and Newell will still play. Think Porteous will come in for Hanlon.

[The Captain....]

Given the managers rant about quality in forward areas it will be interesting to see if he backs it up with action in his selection.

I'd be reasonably happy with the second half team from the Derby...although Kukhareyvich would be a welcome return. I'm guessing he'll start from the bench if available though.

I’d quite like a return to a diamond.
If big Myko is fit I’d have him up top before Youan though.

[Mcbizz1998]

Apologies if already mentioned but is there any update on Myko?

It feels like the club are consistently giving inaccurate updates on player injuries. We were told for months that Magennis was almost ready, only for him to never appear. Similar with McGeady. Myko was supposed to have a minor injury and has now been out for weeks.

IMO the first priority is to get Cadden out of defending.He just can’t do it.

Yep he is 100% not getting enough out of this squad. The whole division away from the OF are very poor. He's just not getting a tune out of this squad. Stop trying to play a style of football that he claims the team don't have the IQ to implement.

Need to start getting an end product out of McGeady and Youan playing like that. I'd argue looking at that Nisbet is our best player. We have to get in and around him, to leave him isolated starved of support is not going to end well.

I agree. Nisbet is by far our most likely player to score consistently probably followed by Magennis. I want both of them in touch on teh pitch and playing centrally. Not sure if Magennis has the legs yet to get forward all the time though so if Myko is fit I might play two up front. Nisbet with two wide men who stay wide doesn't really work imo and when the wide men include Youan you also struggle defensively in midfield.

Agree but I think we will.

Youan since coming back has been like a new player and McGeady is just back.

I think part of the performances since we’ve been back have given a bit of optimism.

I think that team takes care of United and Motherwell which if we do, will put us very quickly in a healthy position.

I agree though that we need players around Nisbet but I think Campbell wojld offer that and McGeady is the type that will want to link it and play off Nisbet

Other than get outpaced for the third goal, (with no protection from Marshall) , thought Stevenson had a good game on Sunday. Would have no problem with him starting.

On your suggestion, if McIntyre is ready to start, then fair enough. I don’t have enough knowledge of him to have a view,

In the context of the SPL this is a decent selection.
The return of Kukhatevych would also help matters, with a consistent and strong selection other players on the fringe might also find a bit of form notably Henderson and McKirdy.

There appears to be no pathway in to the first team for them just now. Given how poor we’ve looked I’d have no issue with one or two of them getting an opportunity. Sometimes think we’re too fearful of what might go wrong or whatever but I bet they’d rather get the chance than not. They couldn’t do any worse. Will caveat that by saying it’s pretty rare that a youth player goes elsewhere and becomes a player.

For the best part of a month no players were playing for points when the World Cup was on. I would still take the chance, you are allowed five subs so could always take him off at half time. I honestly don't think it would come to that however.

Surely they have to get a chance in the coming months.

One of the main reasons LJ was hired was to bring through our own youth and get them sold for decent amount but we aren’t giving any youth a chance.

It would at least get the fans supporting the team a bit more and even some more patience for others / the manager if signs of improvement were there.

Easier when winning games V experience but some fresh hungry players may just help the dynamic.

Magennis seems to have the ability to turn a terrible midfield into a good one and there's a decent blend of attributes between him and the other two.

I'd like to see more of McGeady, he's best coming in off the left and I'd like McKirdy to get a proper run against a weaker team in his best position.

Nearly chose Youan who has looked lively over the past few games but he's missed a couple of huge chances at important points and for all his good work there hasn't been much end product.

I take it you're joking with your comments 're Magennis.

When he got injured last season we were top of the league. He was playing every week with Newell and JDH and the midfield looked better than it had for years (and better than it ever has since).

Against Livi (I know, ten men) when he came back into the side we looked miles better.

Celtic are the best team in the country so I'll cut him a bit of slack for that one.

We were much better against Hearts when he was on the park.


I rate Magennis, I think he's a cracking player. Issues with injury, that goes without saying, but if he's available and properly fit then he's a first pick.

So no, I absolutely wasn't joking.

Making a robust midfield out of all our other midfielders (and centre halves it seems) when Magennis is missing is a much bigger challenge.

Did you see him pre season at all?

Genuine question and not trying to be arsey btw.

I just thought he looked good and there was definite positive to take from them, especially against Norwich who had a decent team out.

Hugil tried to batter him a few times and he got in with it before giving him some back.

Admittedly a couple of sun appearances he looked a bit off the pace, but again some I thought he looked good.

I think (hope) he’s one that when gets fit and in the squad settles and shows what he’s got

His first game pre season I agree - thought he looked good..was impressed. Thereafter, I was a bit shocked by how immature and under-developed he was. athleticism sure, but very raw in terms of positioning and defensive qualities.

He was chosen over McGinn. Obviously his injury has had a major impact, but to me he looked like a 2-3 year project rather than an oven ready starter.

His performances against Falkirk (and one other I can’t recall) were poor imho.

I agree with your analysis overall on Magennis. For me he’s our best player if fit and used properly.

But him, JDH and Newell only actually started 2 league games together at the start of last season. So the view that they perhaps were the right blend together…. It was a very small sample

Agree about Falkirk but to me the set up that game was awful, especially defence and right mid

Dabroswki

Miller Rocky McLellend Stevenson

Hauge

How about that to partner him and cover him [emoji1787] at a time when Rocky wasn’t confident too.

Stevenson had a shocker that day too.

It’s certainly a horrible selection that…quite stark when you remind me of it….a really naive set of choices by LJ for the hardest game we had in our group stages…and the result was merited.

When he got injured last season we were top of the league. He was playing every week with Newell and JDH and the midfield looked better than it had for years (and better than it ever has since).

Against Livi (I know, ten men) when he came back into the side we looked miles better.

Celtic are the best team in the country so I'll cut him a bit of slack for that one.

We were much better against Hearts when he was on the park.


I rate Magennis, I think he's a cracking player. Issues with injury, that goes without saying, but if he's available and properly fit then he's a first pick.

So no, I absolutely wasn't joking.

Making a robust midfield out of all our other midfielders (and centre halves it seems) when Magennis is missing is a much bigger challenge.

You're kidding yourself.
Far too injury prone.
I do admit he can play but after months out he cost us the game at ER v St Johnstone.
He gets better and better every week he doesn't play.
Wasn't deemed good enough to start on Monday. The game was almost over when he came on but missed two great chances in the same play to get us back in the game.
Stop over rating our players. We are in dire straits and Magennis isn't contributing enough.

Your arguments against him being a good player are injuries, a red card, two missed chances and the fact he was held back til the second half for fitness reasons?

None of that means he's 'kidding himself'. I don't think anyone could say he's contributed enough, but if saying he's a good player is overhyping him then you're just as guilty of doing the opposite.

The only issue with Magennis is his injury record and the consequences of the injuries he's suffered.

I'm not going to argue he isn't injury prone and I'm not going to argue that his tackle against St Johnstone wasn't costly. But can you NEVER cut a player a bit of slack? He'd been out forever, was tiring, and it was a bit of a tired lunge. I wouldn't say it was acceptable but neither was it unforgivable.

Was he not considered good enough to start Monday or was it most likely that having missed so many games, he couldn't really be trusted to play so many minutes in quick succession (as I think Johnson has alluded to) thus trying to prevent us losing him to injury again? If you think Magennis "isn't contributing enough" then surely it makes sense to help keep him fit to contribute more rather than risk further injury?


I accept we're in dire straits but you don't get anywhere throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Whilst we're getting rid of the pish, moving on the mediocre and working out whether we can get a tune out of the talented but flawed we need to try not to force out the quality we have. Magennis is quality, we need to work on keeping him fit and finding players of similar ability (but not injury proneness) to play alongside him.

[fiolex1]

Surely he can’t be starting the players he has spoken to about not having a future at the club before the Derby? How many of these actually started at the Derby, agree with a previous thread, all very Butcheresque!

He never cost us the win against st johnstone the manager did.

He was still on the park around about the 70 minute mark which everybody could see he was tiring. The manager not making changes about 60-65 minute when st Johnstone we’re starting to come into the game resulted in a sloppy tackle. The manager talking about gps data after the result is just another instance of him making excuses.

He should be a starter in this team 100% when fully fit.

I think if you remember the manager was a bit worried about the big centre getting sent off.
He was on a yellow and looked like he was a candidate for a red and so LJ took him of instead.

I think Nisbet flatters to deceive in a big way. I'm not convinced by him at all. Was decent at Ibrox, very good against Livi but I think he's been hopeless in our last 2 games and has been pretty hopeless in much of his time with us. If it were a straight choice between him and Kurahevich I'd be picking Kurahevich.

Magennis brings more to the table which I think he would prove if we were to stay fit for an extended period.

Although I would say that both these players are far superior to some of what we've had to endure as understudies to them whilst they've been out injured. And it's the fact that we've had to rely on these players so often is why we find ourselves in the dire straits situation we're in.

[loanheadhibby]

It would be nice if he showed his ability more often.
Like when he was ten yards out on Monday and failed to score.
I'm amazed how easily impressed some of our fans are when we are at such a low ebb.

Aye I do remember. The big man made a silly tackle first half and got hooked because he made a few fouls into the second half. But Magennis was also on a booking at the time of the change and it was his first start in god knows how long. Everyone could see he was blowing.

Poor management in leaving him in there.

If you don’t rate him you don’t rate him. But I’d say a fit Magennis should be the first name in the centre of the park.

Cadden at rightback is basically giving the opposition a goal start. How about we try one of the young fullbacks. Megwa or Mcintyre. They can't be any worse than Cadden and Lewis. Hanlon should have a long spell on the bench or preferably a transfer to Killie or the likes.

Not ideal - wonder if him playing lots of games without much rest or rotation was an issue. Quite a few physical games for a young guy who hadn't played much football before.

Frustrating though as adds a threat up front and was just starting to find his feet before the injury / WC break.

As usual impossible to predict.

Do we know if the likes of McGeady, Magennis and Kuharevich are fit.

Also, Johnson will throw in his usual curve ball by selecting someone who should be nowhere near the 1st team or played completely out of position. Such as McKirdy last week and Fish at right back.

All I'm hoping for is that he drops Hanlon and re-instates Porteous in central defence.

That would be a start.

He has been much better since the break, especially Livi, but he’s another one of these non scoring forwards we seem to specialise in signing at the moment.

Needs to start sticking the ball in the net and showing a bit of end product. Hopefully he can do that today as we could really be doing with some of them stepping up.

Just looked at it and tbh it looks like he was a one man team against Hearts in a 3-0 gubbing, one or two wee dribbles etc, pretty embarrassing

[Tyler Durden]

Why a word in his ear though ? He is hardly breaking the hibs code of conduct is he, what exactly is he doing wrong that hibs should have a word in his ear ?

Seriously?

We’ve just been horsed 3-0 and he thinks it’s cool to share a clip reel of all his touches. Which all led to nothing. Ignoring the fact he missed a total sitter

It’s embarrassing and indicates that he’s focused on himself, not the team results. Absolutely someone should get a hold of him

Yeah now that you mention it he should be hung drawn and quartered and his entrails dragged through the streets of Edinburgh for commiting such a selfish and heinous crime

Deary ****ing me, young player posts dribbling skills on his social media, hang the ****er 🤣🤣

Wish he would stick videos up of him sticking the ball in the net, shame never manages it.

Time for the players to perform and forget about social media.

Think we all want that mate

He will be there forever if he is trying to compile a video of any meaningful highlights in a Hibs jersey.. laddie has some tricks and skills up his sleeve , but he has very very limited ability when it comes to his final ball or shot. He actually has a terrible understanding of the overall picture and on how to impact a game , be it offensively or when we are defending..

He also has terrific ability and pace and can go past a player so up to the coach to get the best out of that. Surprised he hasn't got a penalty yet given all that

Finally Hanlon dropped

[Donegal Hibby]

Think the team looks good , only one I wonder about is why cabraja is on the bench instead of Stevenson?

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Finally Hanlon dropped

Thank goodness 👍

it’s mad that we are now at the stage we can’t highlight any positives, admittedly from a ***** game.

What positives would you highlight about a 3-0 loss to Hearts?
