Lee Johnson redemption arc v Hearts

[Greenio]

I never really got why Lovell got booed so much as a player but listening to him on commentary I regret the missed opportunity to boo him.

He talks a lot of sense but, listen, he does talk a lot.


Where is Cliff btw?

[Benny Brazil]

Had most of the possession but a lack of quality in the final 3rd preventing us from being level - that and a dodgy defence

[MWHIBBIES]

By far the better side. Forcing them into mistakes. If Campbell scores before they did, we'd be laughing. Need a goal early 2nd half

[neil7908]

We need to find a way to win today. I don't care how but we need to do it.

[hibsbollah]

Hibs have played well mainly, just haven't taken our chances and gave away a free goal, by far the better team in the first half, no bad for a thrown together team

:agree:

[One Day Soon]

Is that Esperanto? :greengrin

Not just me then?

[Callum_62]

Frustrating

Very good overall performance but to go in 1-0 down is a big disappointment

Hearts very clinical, us not nearly clinical enough

No real complaints about anyone or the overall performance

On the front foot, in there faces, decent passages of play but need that final pass or shot to be better

[Trinity Hibee]

Most of the place taken place in the hearts half. Going direct here looks to be working.

[Smartie]

The Edinburgh derby pretty much summed up in 45 minutes.

[tonyrougier123]

I think 2-1 Hibs. Campbell and Nisbet.

Hearts will go 4 at that back second half bet your bottom dollar.
Needed a goal before ht.
Could be a closed shop now but let’s be positive 🙏🏻.

Other than poor defending for goal I’d say easily better team today.

[The Modfather]

Playing about as well as we can with that team. A lack of quality and ruthlessness the usual issue.

[Greenio]

I'd we play with the same level of intensity second half. We will not lose this game

[Northernhibee]

Better side, but Porto decides to play up to his reputation, gives away a silly free kick, and the rest is written. He can be brilliant but also an absolute
liability in big games, even if just for brief moments.

[SHODAN]

Seventh home derby in a row we've failed to score in the first half.

[Ozyhibby]

I think we’ve been the better team. Actually winning a midfield battle for a change. Disappointed to be behind but hopefully we can turn round 2nd half.

If we’re going to let Cabraja take free kicks he needs to do them better. Otherwise agree.

[One Day Soon]

It's a derby and it's a cup derby - quite possibly our last good chance for something from this season. I don't care whether we dominated the first half or not, we need to win - good, bad or ugly.

[Mon Dieu4]

The striker helped by buying that free kick it was soft as *****

[HarpOnHibee]

It's the same old problem. We create more chances, but most of them aren't great chances. Hearts don't need to create that many chances, because they make sure the chances they do create are almost certain to result in a goal. We need to work better angles on goal, most of our chances come from positions that aren't ideal to score from.

[CMac1988]

Played well as a team. Lack of quality the difference. Could go out and do the same in the second half and we'd lose 2-0. We make one mistake and they capatilize. They could make loads and unless it falls to Nisbet it's doubtful we'd get anything from it.

[silverhibee]

45 minutes for this group of players to save the managers job.

[EGL2000]

Miles the better team, yet still 1 down.

[Mikey_1875]

Can’t believe we haven’t turned one of those chances in. Decision to be made on Jeggo as looks one more away from a red. Nisbet seems to be carrying a bit of a strain/knock as well, hopefully he can shake it off.

[Unseen work]

Can’t believe we’re not winning this.

All to play for second half.

Jegga not done a huge amount

[silverhibee]

Kammm on high bewneean scarr a ****king golle

[Northernhibee]

It’s not the Hearts strikers job to make it easy for Hibs.

[Onceinawhile]

Nisbet looks like he's limping to me.

Can't see us getting back into it. Midfield is lacking any creativity, so relying on mcgeady and youann to do it all.

[One Day Soon]

If we’re going to let Cabraja take free kicks he needs to do them better. Otherwise agree.

If we are going to be making more signings (and we do need to make many more signings) one of them should include some kind of serious threat from free kicks.

[danhibees1875]

Tapered off a little but thought we were looking good out there. We were getting lots of joy down the line and had at least 3 chances that were as good a chance as the one hearts scored from.

There's no prizes for being the better team though, so need to get the ball in the net. Need to get that joy down the wings we were having in the first half hour, get balls in the box early - quality balls, or lower and harder.

[Mon Dieu4]

It’s not the Hearts strikers job to make it easy for Hibs.

It's the ref and linesman's job to see he just fell over though

[hibee_girl]

So frustrating to be behind as it’s probably the best we’ve played for a while.

How one of those chances didn’t go in I’ll never know.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

How are they third? 💩💩💩

[One Day Soon]

And we're off with Jegga...

If you're going to sign a player called Jenga it's inevitably all going to fall apart.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

We're not good enough to be able squander chances and still win. Expect Hearts to stodge and sit in for the next 45. What they have got, we have given them.

[Sir David Gray]

We clearly don't deserve to be behind but clearly we are so we need to find a way to turn this round.

Big 45 minutes coming up, no feeling sorry for ourselves, no hard luck stories. Let's just go for it in the second half, we have nothing to lose as things stand.

[HibsGW]

How are they third? 💩💩💩

This is probably the perfect example of why they’re third, they’re playing pretty poorly and we’re playing well yet they’re winning.

[Dunbar Hibee]

Better side, but Porto decides to play up to his reputation, gives away a silly free kick, and the rest is written. He can be brilliant but also an absolute

Yup. We've played well but it's a derby cup tie - winning is the only thing that matters today. We at least need to draw the game.

[SHODAN]

Last time Hibs won a derby after being behind at half time was 2013 (2-1, Caldwell winner at Tynecastle).

Last time we won a home derby after being behind at half time was 1995. No, really.

[hibsbollah]

They are there for the taking. Passing and ball retention all over the place.

[Donegal Hibby]

We have been by far the better team here , soft free- kick and bad defending is why we are behind.

IfHenderson comes on I swear I’ll do time.

He's a defensive midfield payer doing what a df should do. What more should he be doing considering there's 5 players in front of him to take care of the attacking area?

C'mon Hibs.

[Steve20]

Doesn’t matter about being the team that’s played better. The mentality should be winning and nothing else matters.

Results are what matters. Not performances. They’re just a bonus.

[brawbob]

Exactly what I was thinking 🤔😂

It's difficult to argue with this statement and it's about time somebody said it. This is what happens if you drop your laptop and all the keys fall off and you give it to the bairn to reattach them.

The year is 2073. We are now in an alternate reality where the Hibernian v Hearts Scottish Cup game has remained in an isolated dimension of space. Players do not age or lose energy and the game continues indefinitely.

As we enter the 26,280,004th minute, the score remains 1-0 to Hearts.

Come on Hibs, just once can you give us a game where what if's are not mentioned.:pray:

Such a shame it's this Hibs side McGeady is playing in, because I can only imagine how much more effective he could be with some proper quality around him.

[Off the bar]

Hibstv cutting in and out now. Not sure I want it back on tbh.

I’m not a fan of his but I don’t think he has done anything wrong today.

[CMac1988]

Porteous again... So good though.

There will be plenty. One or two dafties on here this week slagging of others for being 'defeatist' or 'cowardly' when they were warning we had no chance today.

[SHODAN]

Approaching three hours without a goal against Hearts.

[Since452]

Slapped twice by Hearts within a matter of days last season. Slapped twice again this season within a matter of weeks. There is a serious mentality difference between the two clubs. When is it ever going to change? We are weak as piss from top to bottom. They must love having us as their city rivals.

[Onion]

The rot runs so deep, relegation may be the best way to rid the club of these useless ****ers - players, manager and exec. We need to purge this lot.

[Just_Jimmy]

Josh Campbell is garbage.

This. Can't just lay it all on the defence. We had Lewis in midfield today, in our big gest game of the season so far.

Hell no. A relegation is the last thing we need.

[cabbageandribs1875]

where's the .net staticians, when was the last time we were out both cups so early

i knew we would eventually go on a run of no hampden appearances soon enough after so many visits in recent years, but not this soon

[HH81]

Yohan not had a kick since they change his man.

So much rubbish in this team.

[Stairway 2 7]

But we've not scored a goal.

Read it again that is due to defensive slackness. Kevin would have scored against our defence today if he faced them

[SHODAN]

I'm sure we played really good in some of those three hours. Still never scored and conceded 5 though.

[tonyrougier123]

The problem is we are so well beat. If we score on top might be different game,but Neilson has out foxed Johnson easily and our bench is just sad.
They’ve let us play knowing we are easily picked off and guaranteed to concede.
Sad sad times.

Full of effort and energy but so you should be if you are a pro player. Very little in the way of talent however.

That was a lovely side footed pass back a couple of minutes back tbf.

[Vault Boy]

I’m not a fan of his but I don’t think he has done anything wrong today.

What about in the months and months of coaching, player acquisition, man management, and tactical planning that has led us to being 6th place (3pts off 8th), and papped out of both cups before they’d really gotten started?

That’s what’s led to today, so I think we’ve every right to judge him on this match.

[J-C]

How weak is Youan on the ball, loses it 4 out of 5 times.

[BSEJVT]

Can't really say this is a Johnson thing. Formation and team was about right.

We should've scored 2 goals at least ourselves. We haven't.

So the fact that Johson signed some of the huddies on our books and let other huddies go leaving us virtually unable to put a squad out still entitles him to a free pass from so many.

He is an absolute charlatan and I honestly wonder what it would take for some folk to want rid of him.

Talks ***** - keep going Lee you are doing a great job

Signs ***** - keep going Lee you are doing a great job

Selection Bingo - keep going Lee you are doing a great job

Weird and wonderful formations - keep going Lee you are doing a great job

Horrific run of results that has seen others sacked for less - keep going Lee you are doing a great job

It is not wrong to admit we made a mistake appointing him, what is wrong is not to admit that we have because of previous errors and keep this idiot in place

Being mentally weak is just a symptom of having a lot less quality across the park. "The best defender" on the pitch has made more mistakes than every one of their defenders combined. Team is just pish.

[SaulGoodman]

I’m going to assume we will get radio silence from Hibs until Wednesday when they will put up a tweet saying “Full focus for Aberdeen 👊🏻🟢⚪️”

Not at all. Been good today. Maybe not a long term option but he'll have a good career in this league.

Far from the biggest problem today regardless of ability

His decision making is hilariously poor, and I got slated for saying that a few weeks back.

[Dalianwanda]

What’s he done wrong today? It’s been all Hibs, as mentioned we just don’t have the quality & hopefully that’s getting rectified. I’m getting tired of him but don’t think he’s done to much wrong…

[Dr_Regal]

Put the ****ing kids on

[Greencore]

Protests meant after the game i believe.

This is spot on. We didn't just lose this game on the day today.

[HFC 0-7]

Youan seems to be playing for himself. If he made better decisions he would be a much much better player

[SHODAN]

Protest meant after the game i believe.

Where?

[DinkyTwo]

Should just forfeit every derby until we learn how to score when on top.

Typical Hibs, we need 10 chances to score. Opposition need one or two

[neil7908]

I get you, no doubt our defence needs sorted but its not finished 3-3. We can't score a goal. Sorry but the team is a mess all over the park. We could have the best defence in the world but it wouldn't have got us a goal today.

I don't think this is on Johnson.

This is a club that's rotten from the head down and has been in steady decline for 3 or 4 years.

Afternoons like this one are just a symptom of the disease.

[cabbageandribs1875]

one freakin substitution


ONE


i've changed my mind, Johnson can do one as well

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Come on now. Not happy myself but maybe have a second think about that post mate.

Ok fair dos folks - not my usual demeanour - happy clapper commentary.

I do think he needs to come out to give his take on things we’ve gone backwards
mistakes made. Needs addressed Even if it’s just to back his men. Although silence perhaps speaks volumes. There was an apparent change on communication but he’s gone v quiet.

[Greencore]

Where?

Outside West mate.

Johnson is very much just as culpable as the rest of them.

Top to bottom it's rotten.

Ripping it up & starting again is exusting.

No chance.

Everyone will just slope off home, myself included. We've all been here before.

Disagree, today hasn’t been a reflection on previous performances. I am not a fan, but I replied to someone saying asking about anyone defending him after this today.

Not surprised protests are planned

Mediocrity has been accepted at hibs for years

It’s an utter disgrace the mess we are in, sickening

Nah agreed. The only excuse we can use for the attack is Boyle and myko out, **** knows the excuse we can use for that defence as if anything it'll get weaker as Ryan will be off

[J-C]

Plays on the right and cuts inside to his weaker foot instead of going to the byline, Hearts have the box packed, cutting in and shooting won't work, too many bodies.

[MikeyS]

Nisbet has done his hammy there by looks of it. Probably no see him again if rumours of Millwal being keen are true.
