[thebausburst]

Their keeper not had a save to make so far

[Hermit Crab]

plenty time to get to that nearly double figures agg score :tee hee:

There is. 5//6-0 at Easter rd.

[GloryGlory]

Passing and crossing has been shocking - way overhit every time.

[Callum_62]

I feels like our players only have one power setting - blooter

:greengrin

[Smartie]

Our midfield look non existent at the moment.

That’s the biggest worry.

Pish defending from time to time will happen. We’re really struggling to impose ourselves on this.

[MWHIBBIES]

Tactics are the main issue. Team have no idea what the **** they're doing.

[Hibees1973]

Hope anyone booked up for Sweden has paid just a bit extra for the cancellation option.

[Wembley67]

And rid of Hanlon.

More benefit to the supporters of you sign off if you are going to give us another season of constant moaning.

[Tambo]

Need more from Melkersen, hardly touched the ball. Relying on Youan just like last season.

[Broken Gnome]

Sure it's not just Hibs, but it seems to be chiefly Hibs that are likely more than most to suffer from every 'tricky game' stereotype - bobbly pitch, hot day, short on fitness, early in the season... we make it look such an effort to overcome these things.

Few out there are just letting the game drift by them without ever looking like they'll make a difference.

[Green-Hibee-7]

It’s difficult to defend this so far.

Passing and defending has been atrocious. I understand the pitch is tight but it’s shocking to see how bad we are on the ball.

[blackpoolhibs]

When are we getting the double figures:faf:

[Brightside]

No, hanlon and Stevenson in no man's land, rocky had to go out and cover

First mistake was Hanlon and Stevenson both attacking the ball far to far up the pitch. Rocky was very poor in his 1v1. Overall a shambles.

[HH81]

Loads panicked last week in first 20 mins. By the end we were world class.

No need to panic.

[Tyler Durden]

Just constantly kicking it out of play

[Onceinawhile]

Somehow we have 3 midfielders and 3 attackers, but only youan seems to be able to touch the ball.

[MrRobot]

Their keeper not had a save to make so far

apart from the save that he made?

[GloryGlory]

Tactics are the main issue. Team have no idea what the **** they're doing.

I think we look seriously rusty - too few games coming into this. I wish Hibs would learn not to treat these qualifiers as part of pre season.

[Callum_62]

Tactics are the main issue. Team have no idea what the **** they're doing.

im sure the tactics are blast it out the park

[O'Rourke3]

Their keeper not had a save to make so farApart from the two he did save, then I agree.

Yeah

Rocky more focused on keeping his hands by his side than engaging the man

[#2 Double Tap]

we should be cruising games like this, i know its early but 1-0 down to an actual pub team...come on hibs ffs

[Bishop Hibee]

I’ll take a draw from what I’ve seen so far.

[Hibees1973]

Le Fondre, Yoaun, Stevenson, Melkersen looking miles off it so far.

If this continues Johnson will need to get Newell and the designated cheerleader (Boyle) on before we lose another.

[Groathillgrump]

Another aimless ball right out the park!

[Not In The Know]

He had to go over and cover where hanlon should have been

he went for the same ball as Lewis then made a pish poor attempt at closing the player down.

[Springbank]

Melkersen is not the level

[7Hero]

almost every pass is overhit

[Gatecrasher]

What a terrible performance so far. Just simply not good enough.

[The Modfather]

On the plus side I get to go collect my daughter from pre school and take her for tea. So don’t have to watch anymore of this. Alarmingly poor so far.

[Lago]

Thought this lot were supposed to be a push over 🙄

[Hibernian Verse]

Melkersen is not good enough

[SaulGoodman]

Melkersen off for Mackay please.

[hfc-1875]

Melkersen is absolutely rotten. Don’t know what anyone sees in him.

[GloryGlory]

almost every pass is overhit

Not "almost" - every pass.

[DaveF]

I'll be happier when we play well enough to call it a shambles. Can't quite believe how utterly ***** we are right now.

[RyeSloan]

Need more from Melkersen, hardly touched the ball. Relying on Youan just like last season.

Those 9 minutes on loan don’t seem to have developed him very much…

Miller has looked half decent.

Sure we will grow into the game and should get through the tie easy enough.

[Hermit Crab]

Melkersen is not good enough

He’s being played out of position.

[greenpaper55]

Don’t worry, the posties will get tired soon, they have been up since t rack of dawn.

[Stuart93]

We couldn’t hibs this surely, could we?

[Smartie]

Loads panicked last week in first 20 mins. By the end we were world class.

No need to panic.

No need to panic but every reason to be deeply concerned by how bad this start has been.

Last 5 have felt a bit better, getting a bit of possession in their half.

[Springbank]

Think we need Dan Mackay second half

[Broken Gnome]

Being kind you'd say he's out of position, but you'd have to be incredibly optimistic to think Melkerson is going to do something worthwhile.

[S4uzee]

We couldn’t hibs this surely, could we?

What a strange thing to say

[Hermit Crab]

Those 9 minutes on loan don’t seem to have developed him very much…

Miller has looked half decent.

30 minutes in. We should be well on top by now.

[Widhibs]

Every single thing is being over hit!

[Hibs3-2]

Ive seen enough of the Stevenson/Hanlon partnership already this season.

[hibees 7062]

Rocky back to version 1.0

You’ve got to wonder why he was covering 2 positions

[GloryGlory]

Corner by JDH from the right - way overhit, misses everyone ends up way out on the left.

[Not In The Know]

We couldn’t hibs this surely, could we?

??????

[hibees 7062]

Ive seen enough of the Stevenson/Hanlon partnership already this season.

Ditto

[Alfred E Newman]

Do they have a couple of extra players on the pitch?

[number9dream]

JDH trying to boot corners and free kicks out of play too…

[SHODAN]

Inter Club d'Escaldes? More like Inter Milan! Lol

[MelbourneHibees]

Plenty time to turn this around. Over both legs.

[HendoDelivered]

Melkersen isn’t a bad player, he’s just not a winger and never will be. Play him in his natural position or not at all.

[Billy Whizz]

Melkersen off for Mackay please.

I’ve no idea why he didn’t start Mackay in this position. LJ totally responsible for this selection

[thebausburst]

Melker like playing with 10 men needs hooked

[Hibernian Verse]

Do they have a couple of extra players on the pitch?

We’ve given them something to hold on to. Going to be lucky to get a draw.

[Hibs90]

Johnson should be getting punted on the spot if we don't win this game, this is an absolute embarrassment of a performance so far and he has next to no credit in the bank after the start to last season.

[mcfly]

Plenty people on these pages just assumed we’d get through this tie easy.

Same defensive mistakes being made yet again.

Club captain isn’t even a certain starter - very strange decision

Need a proper number 9 in and fast.

[Hibernian Verse]

Johnson should be getting punted on the spot if we don't win this game, this is an absolute embarrassment of a performance so far and he has next to no credit in the bank after the start to last season.

He’ll get punted if we lose the tie

[MacBean]

Must be the strikers WAG who is screaming, anytime anything to do with him she goes off her nut. Quiet otherwise

[ChuckNor]

We need to get Melkersen off. He is absolutely useless. So ineffective.

[Callum_62]

Johnson should be getting punted on the spot if we don't win this game, this is an absolute embarrassment of a performance so far and he has next to no credit in the bank after the start to last season.

sure

[Nicho87]

Grim viewing so far, wee eye opener for club scouts to get their finger out for a striker

[SteveHFC]

He’ll get punted if we lose the tie

He has too. No coming back from this if we do.

[dmc1875]

We need to get Melkersen off. He is absolutely useless. So ineffective.

I don’t know how many times LJ has to put him out wide - see it doesn’t work - then hook him - before he stops doing it.

It’s ridiculous

[Saint Hibee]

I’m not sure why everybody’s putting the boot into Melkerson - the ball’s barely reached him.

[Shrekko]

Melkersen isn’t a bad player, he’s just not a winger and never will be. Play him in his natural position or not at all.

I’ll take the ‘not at all’ option on this one.

[Callum_62]

Plenty people on these pages just assumed we’d get through this tie easy.

Same defensive mistakes being made yet again.

Club captain isn’t even a certain starter - very strange decision

Need a proper number 9 in and fast.

I think Hanlon is a guaranteed starter

[Tyler Durden]

Melkersen playing wide right is no excuse for him not being able to shield it or make a simple pass.

Should just change it now and get him up top and Campbell wide

[Heisenberg]

We need to get Melkersen off. He is absolutely useless. So ineffective.

Never a winger by the looks of it.

[Biggie]

This is like watching a game at Saughton enclosure from the street 😆 (actually at the moment thats not a bad thing).......joking aside i'm sure we'll come good here and pump them at ER.

[Montford]

This is a shambles
No cohesion
No leadership in the middle
Every sing attack going down the right with same outcome
Their manager cottoned on after 5 mins and doubled up on that side
Our players don’t have the nous to realise

[Real Emerald]

Grim viewing so far, wee eye opener for club scouts to get their finger out for a striker

Plus a defence and a midfield.

[overdrive]

Plenty people on these pages just assumed we’d get through this tie easy.

Unfortunately, I think he is. Time to replace Hanlon and Stevenson for good.

[Green-Hibee-7]

Surely you’re mortified as a Hibs player with that opening 30 minutes.

Truly horrendous.

I agree with others that Melkersen needs replaced. He looks lost. In fairness though he’s never a winger.

[Callum_62]

I’m not sure why everybody’s putting the boot into Melkerson - the ball’s barely reached him.

its often been punted way past him but his use of the ball when he has had it has been dire (like most others to be fair)

[ChuckNor]

I’m not sure why everybody’s putting the boot into Melkerson - the ball’s barely reached him.

That’s the point. He’s not involved. He never is.

[supermcginn]

We need to get Melkersen off. He is absolutely useless. So ineffective.

There's just nothing about him, no strength, pace or trickery. Feel sorry for him but he's poor.

[thebausburst]

Hibs offering nothing, changes needed at half time this is dire stuff

[The Pointer]

They've been out there for a couple of days with the game being played at altitude, yet they don't appear to be able to deal with it as shown by their passing and corners.

I would have expected them to come out with all guns blazing but instead it's the usual Hibs damp squib.

[Tambo]

Miller and Youan our only real threats and players who have played well.

Melkersen hardly touched the ball, ALF was involved in the first 15 minutes but not seen much since.

A few moments when we got Levitt and JDH on the ball we got it forward well.

[mcfly]

I think Hanlon is a guaranteed starter

Really? Why?

[K-Zazu]

Is Melkersen fast enough to beat a man? I’ve genuinely never seen him sprint

[DH1875]

Melkersen is being played out of position. What is everyone else excuse?

The lady screeching in Spanish is giving me a headache 😫.

[The_Exile]

I remember 4 or 5 years ago thinking "this must be the last season we start with Stevenson and Hanlon". It's 2023 now. Grim.

Still think we'll win this mind.

[Stuart93]

Hope this allows LJ to see that if we’re missing a few first team players, the back up aren’t up to much

[Since452]

Melkersen really not taking his chance sadly

[JammyDoidger]

Le Fondre isn't getting us up the pitch, nor is melkersen, Youan is having a stinker aswell, Doidge on and go 2 up top. We've no one to hit, swinging crosses in to midgets.

[Billy Whizz]

Is it still 5 subs in Europe

[cabbageandribs1875]

absolutely woeful passing throughout


thank goodness this is just a friendly

[GloryGlory]

Can't anyone measure a cross or a pass for once? Just hoofing the ball to no-one.

[Heisenberg]

Levitt giving it away constantly too

[SaulGoodman]

Another ball punted out

[Onceinawhile]

Does Dylan Levitt know we play in green?!?

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Amazes me that when we are winning games we get up to around 9/10 pages. Losing this one so far and we’re already at 12 pages before half time.

[GRA]

So many overhit balls this half... can only assume there is a breeze and our passing will be much better in the 2nd half?

[Brightside]

We couldn’t hibs this surely, could we?

This should result in a ban.:greengrin

[mcfly]

This game clearly shows we lack any real quality.

Still 3 or 4 short of a half decent team.

Johnson needs to sort this out or there’s no way back for him

[Jones28]

Poor stuff this.

[LaMotta]

Never a winger by the looks of it.


Surely you’re mortified as a Hibs player with that opening 30 minutes.

Truly horrendous.

I agree with others that Melkersen needs replaced. He looks lost. In fairness though he’s never a winger.

Melkerson has shown very little to suggest he's a striker either in his time at Hibs.

[cabbageandribs1875]

not like jdh to pick up a yellow card

[Hibees1973]

Been watching Hibs for 50 years.

Defeat here will be our worst result in Europe, bar none.

[Smartie]

The overhit balls into the box either from open play or set pieces have been truly abysmal.

Pretty worrying performance tbh. Even with the players we’ve brought in or are talking of bringing in, we’re going to need to get a tune out of what we’ve got on the park here and we look well short against poor opposition.

[GloryGlory]

JDH - yellow card.

[hibee-boys]

First time JDH has hit his target today.

[Tambo]

That looked a sore one from JDH, yellow card deserved.

[Allant1981]

Get JDH and melkersen off at half time, mackay and newell on

[Callum_62]

JDH booked - correctly

[SeanWilson]

Amazes me that when we are winning games we get up to around 9/10 pages. Losing this one so far and we’re already at 12 pages before half time.

More likely to pay attention to the game if we were any good??

[chrisski33]

absolutely woeful passing throughout


thank goodness this is just a friendly

No its not

[Billy Whizz]

Get JDH and melkersen off at half time, mackay and newell on

I’d be getting the Doidger on now

[Springbank]

JDH - yellow card.

He's sufficiently brainless to pick up another before half time

I'd sub him now

[7Hero]

Hope this allows LJ to see that if we’re missing a few first team players, the back up aren’t up to much

And who signs the players ? LJ clearly not good enough to manage this football club.

[Del Boy]

I’d be making 3 or 4 subs at HT. Nowhwre near good enough

[HH81]

Must be about 5 mins to add on they have been on floor about 4 times milking it.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Get JDH and melkersen off at half time, mackay and newell on

Take Youan with them, just not interested

[J-C]

Just got in the door, WTF is going on here, the guys watching from the start, how have we been playing, going by the score not very well I take it.

[Tambo]

Youan does get you off the edge of your seat some times thens end up frustrating you so much.

Need Boyle back to take some of the pressure off him to always being the only one to deliver.

[Montford]

Johnson can’t see what’s unfolding here
Unwilling to correct his formation
Needs a change now

[blackpoolhibs]

Melkersen isn’t a bad player, he’s just not a winger and never will be. Play him in his natural position or not at all.

This please, biggest waste of money in a long time, christ Muller did more.

[Heisenberg]

We got absolutely taken for a ride signing Melkersen. Boy looks hopeless so far today.

[Northernhibee]

Completely disrespectful so far to the opposition. Haven’t gotten close enough, haven’t applied ourselves enough, haven’t been disciplined enough.

[Saint Hibee]

What’s happened to our passing?!?

[SteveHFC]

Just got in the door, WTF is going on here, the guys watching from the start, how have we been playing, going by the score not very well I take it.

Dreadful, awful, garbage
Take you pick

[SeanWilson]

Just got in the door, WTF is going on here, the guys watching from the start, how have we been playing, going by the score not very well I take it.

Being kind; pish.

[Stuart93]

This should result in a ban.:greengrin

Come on now, first competitive game of the season

Have to start strong😁

[Simkin911]

It’s been a woeful first half from our perspective. However, a long way to go and I think we can only be better after HT.

[cabbageandribs1875]

No its not


i was being facetious :)

[GloryGlory]

Just got in the door, WTF is going on here, the guys watching from the start, how have we been playing, going by the score not very well I take it.

Very poor all round. Just hoofing the ball as hard as possible it seems, very few decent passes or crosses.

[S4uzee]

“Outstanding” window so far though

[Mantis Toboggan]

First half of the first game of the season and the usual posters are wanting half the team emptied. But on the other hand, why is Melkersen anywhere near the team?

[Montford]

Same pish as last years league cup

[DH1875]

He has to give it to them both barrels at half time and make 3/4 subs. Even if he doesn't want to, he has to make a statement of sorts

[Tambo]

Melkersen's big moment in the game.

[cabbageandribs1875]

absolute garbage melkerson, garbage

[Onceinawhile]

How bad was that from melkerson?

[Northernhibee]

Aye, he just needs played through the middle right enough.

[jingler1954]

This is eye bleeding football. Iwould be happy if Hibscould take 1-0 back to easter road but I have a feeling they will get another goal.☹️

[HoboHarry]

Amazes me that when we are winning games we get up to around 9/10 pages. Losing this one so far and we’re already at 12 pages before half time.

Same every week. Anytime I come on I know we are winning when the page count is low.

[GloryGlory]

Melkersen - worse than a passback there when clean through.

[Hibernian Verse]

There’s Melkersen through the middle

[hfcok]

This is a hard watch

[SaulGoodman]

Right Melkersen time up

[overdrive]

Get Doidge, Mackay and Newell on. Melkersen off and take your pick for the other two.

[BSEJVT]

That was ****ing awful by Le Fondre, truly truly dreadful

[JeMeSouviens]

We got absolutely taken for a ride signing Melkersen. Boy looks hopeless so far today.

Those 2 goals at Fir Park feel like a lifetime ago. Time to cut our losses I'm afraid.

[Trinity Hibee]

Kicked the dug harder than that shot from Melkersen

[easty]

That cannae be all Melkerson has left in the tank. Looked like the sort of shot I take after 15 mins of 5s knackered

[MrRobot]

This is pretty dire man

[Bostonhibby]

A reality check for everyone this

[Chorley Hibee]

Another year of them incoming.

Beyond belief that these positions still haven't been addressed.

Folk are kidding themselves that a collection of folk who weren't good enough previously (Doidge, Melkersen, Rocky, McKay, Marshall, JDH, etc) are all of a sudden capable of contributing to a successful season now.

An absolutely abysmal 45 minutes.

[JammyDoidger]

Get that wee lassie out on a permanent, he's shown nothing.

[SHODAN]

Melkersen playing like his name's misspelled.

[7Hero]

First half of the first game of the season and the usual posters are wanting half the team emptied. But on the other hand, why is Melkersen anywhere near the team?

Id rather the manager was emptied tbh

[H18 SFR]

Making me fear he’s about to sell the jerseys.

Melkerson, JDH and someone else

[Onceinawhile]

That was ****ing awful by Le Fondre, truly truly dreadful

A? What did le fondre do?

[HendoDelivered]

I think our team looks decent on paper, on the pitch, not so much. S loads of work to do and a few signings needed IMO. Another quality CM being one, and a quality striker.

Edit: and probably a fullback

[overdrive]

Jake needs to calm down as hes alredy on a yellow

The ref would be doing us a favour sending him off

Aye. I predicted a 5 -0 win lol.

[WestHibby]

This is ****ing abysmal

[Mantis Toboggan]

Seems a sensible decision

[Nicho87]

I struggle to understand how the Dutch never paid us seven figures for Melkerson

[PH91]

Get JDH and melkersen off at half time, mackay and newell on

Doidge for alf too.

And i would be hooking levitt before jdh, he is well off it.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Would expect jdh to get hooked before a red. Very tough to watch.

Anything we slag hearts about would be well and truly ****ed if we lose this

[BSEJVT]

A? What did le fondre do?

Weak weak attempt at a break then tame shot

[cameronw-hfc]

Melk hasn't been great but the pile on here is mental. First competitive game of the season, out of position and he's crap.

Jeez

[Crunchie]

We just look tired and sloppy. Poor use of the ball when we have it, and slow to close down when we don't. Players are working at 70%
Surely not, we have Captain Courageous giving the orders :rolleyes:

[Real Emerald]

I am in disbelief how bad our midfield is and the forwards and defenders are no better. It’s a shambles ATM.

[GloryGlory]

Another diagonal pass 30-40 yards to nobody at all!

Should be gone next week if we get knocked out.

[Jones28]

***** Bushiri, ***** everyone.

[supermcginn]

[Northernhibee]

If we go out of Europe in this round the manager has to go.

[Manxhibs]

Absolute rubbish, not just melk but the whole lot of them. Formation is wrong and I’m yet to see 5 passes strung together.

Make no bones about it, this is embarrassing.

[DH1875]

Has to be the worst set piece in history of set pieces FFS.

[Hibs90]

If we go out of Europe in this round the manager has to go.

Absolutely no question.

He's lucky he's still the manager as it is after last season.

[Springbank]

Melk hasn't been great but the pile on here is mental. First competitive game of the season, out of position and he's crap.

Jeez

We have,standards

He doesn't meet them

We're losing in what will be the most embarrassing loss in club history

If he hasn't got the minerals today, he's better off elsewhere

[B.H.F.C]

JDH off for Newell. Melkersen off for anybody.

[Groathillgrump]

Boooo!!!

[tonyrougier123]

And folk think we have a chance next round? We will win this over two legs but that’ll be it folks.
Miles off it!the business in the market again piss and on show.

Sad indictment of Scottish football. Canny actually believe how poor we are to watch.

[greenlex]

Well that wasn’t very good. In fact quite pish.

[Allant1981]

Doidge for alf too.

And i would be hooking levitt before jdh, he is well off it.

JDH will end up getting sent off if he stays on I think

[Montford]

Why not just put the ball in the box
Waste of a set piece

[Del Boy]

What did we pay for Melkerson?

[Squealing pig]

Jeezy peeps

[LaMotta]

Weak weak attempt at a break then tame shot

That was Melkerson surely?

[hibee-boys]

Stevenson/Hanlon is a very weak left of defence , any midfield combination including both Campbell and JDH will be bullied and lack any creativity. Playing Melkerson in a wide position when he’s not even proved himself in his supposed stronger position is baffling. Unfortunately this performance, thus far, reeks of our league cup campaign last year. Makeshift teams playing it like a training game🤷🏼

We got absolutely taken for a ride signing Melkersen. Boy looks hopeless so far today.

Conservative estimates are his fee was £300k, seen some quotes it could have been more.

He could be on a 4 year contract of at least £2k a week, minimum.

That means Hibs have around £750k invested in him.

Extraordinary bad business by our recruitment team.

[WestHibby]

Half the team look like they're playing football on a bouncy castle

Absolute dug*****

[Mainstandman]

melkerson just isnt good enough the rest of them are playing garbage

This is up there with the Falkirk game last year. Very concerning.

[easty]

Scary thing is, we've not even looked like troubling them at all. They'll be laughing their heads off at how easy it's been so far.

[Green-Hibee-7]

Quite possibly the lowest quality I’ve seen from any Hibs side in my lifetime. I honestly can’t remember a time we have put as many balls out of the park from passes.

Lucky if we get out of here with a 1-0. Horrific.

[GRA]

Need the subs at HT. Get Doidge on. Also get a half fit Newell & Boyle on they'd be more dangerous based on what I've seen in the first half. So many overhit passes.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Weren't great first half against Groningen hopefully see the same here

[Real Emerald]

What did we pay for Melkerson?

No idea but it was too much.

[Hibernian Verse]

half time - still well in it

:thumbsup:

Even if we turn them over 5 or 6 at Easter Road this is a shocker

[Stevie Reid]

Desperately poor stuff. No shape, zero football played, and look suspect at the back.

Not a single decent performance from anyone, and some really, really poor ones.

[EGL2000]

How rotten was that, wow.

[SteveHFC]

Correct.

Agreed.

[Alfred E Newman]

Thank goodness it's half time. Embarrassing stuff from supposedly professional players.

[Callum_62]

Quite possibly the lowest quality I’ve seen from any Hibs side in my lifetime. I honestly can’t remember a time we have put as many balls out of the park from passes.

Lucky if we get out of here with a 1-0. Horrific.

Its up there with the Lennon game at Rugby park

garbage

[Baader]

Embarrassing. Need to change it and win the match.

[Trinity Hibee]

Surely newell comes on at HT?

[Since452]

We're being absolutey slaughtered on Radio Scotland. Cheers Hibs

[number9dream]

Our passing is soooo bad. If you can’t do the basics, what chance have you got?
If we don’t see them on from the start of the second half, LJ must have made up his mind that he wants rid of Doidge and MacKay. Feel a bit for the forwards through since there has been no service at all.

[Paulie Walnuts]

He’s absolute chaos and how anyone can say different is baffling

:agree:

Desperately poor.

Melkersen however is even worse. Wtf did anyone see in him? Technically average at best, physically abysmal. No page, no strength, no power. He starts games looking like he’s knackered.

[vahibbie]

Dear oh dear.
We are nowhere ready for this game never mind the next one.
Rubbish all over the park.

[Callum_62]

Midfield without Joe Newell eh

Hopefully his well manicured hair makes an appearance ASAP

[Billy Whizz]

melkerson just isnt good enough the rest of them are playing garbage

I’m not having a go at just you, but to pin that performance on a young boy, is ridiculous
That was one honking performance from the whole Hibs team. We look under cooked on match fitness

[easty]

Watching the goal again...**** me...Rocky is brutal like. Like a 12 year old centre half. Not a clue.

[Phil MaGlass]

OM F,n G how brutal was that, someone mentioned sacking offence, not far from it. Eye bleeding stuff, I know its early in season, but theres absolutely no f,n excuse for that showing.

[Bostonhibby]

Get Doidge, Mackay and Newell on. Melkersen off and take your pick for the other two.Hard to disagree with that, I wouldn't hesitate to stick Doidge right in amongst them.

Does it? There's a fair chunk of that team that haven't had too many good games for Hibs.


A hapless group of strangers dressed in green and unable to kick the ball in the direction or proper strength to other complete strangers clad in green and white.

Dire............................!

[Fuzzywuzzy]

So melkersons low drive was caught by the defender which made it look weak as ****

[Scottie]

If we go out of Europe in this round the manager has to go.
:tee hee: 45 minutes into the season.

[Smartie]

Conservative estimates are his fee was £300k, seen some quotes it could have been more.

He could be on a 4 year contract of at least £2k a week, minimum.

That means Hibs have around £750k invested in him.

Extraordinary bad business by our recruitment team.

Bad business practice we’re continuing by playing him in a competitive game.

We need to cut our losses, he’s miles off the standard required.

[Trinity Hibee]

OM F,n G how brutal was that, someone mentioned sacking offence, not far from it. Eye bleeding stuff, I know its early in season, but theres absolutely no f,n excuse for that showing.

Doesn’t matter how early it is. This is just not good enough and if he were to be sacked he absolutely could not complain.

Was hoping for a fresh start this season but the same **** keeps happening.

[Jones28]

Just saw the Melkersen chance again, not even sure what he was trying to do? Lob the keeper?

[NC1875]

Stevenson/Hanlon is a very weak left of defence , any midfield combination including both Campbell and JDH will be bullied and lack any creativity. Playing Melkerson in a wide position when he’s not even proved himself in his supposed stronger position is baffling. Unfortunately this performance, thus far, reeks of our league cup campaign last year. Makeshift teams playing it like a training game🤷🏼

Best Ch and Lb out with the old firm I’m sure I read on here yesterday 🤷🏽*♂️

[Hibernian Verse]

That Dutch striker will be getting on a plane home

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

GANTING, that's a word I've never used before. 😊

[Paulie Walnuts]

Watching the goal again...**** me...Rocky is brutal like. Like a 12 year old centre half. Not a clue.

Best centre half, best player etc.

He’s not good enough no matter how much hyperbole there is around his performances where we shipped an astronomical amount of goals last season.

[Callum_62]

still think we will win this 1-3

absolutely no on the basis of anything we have done so far though :D

Id probably bring on Dodige for some physicality - although I said id have started him

[HendoDelivered]

We still look like we have no creativity. We need an attacking mid signed IMO

[Greenio]

What a bunch of raving lunatics we are on here eh
