It was a great result and courageous (but not highly competent) defending against a good footballing but punchless team. As most people on here predicted, the pace and movement of our front three were troubling to a very lax defense.

[500miles]

I'm pleased to have won, but not sure what to make of the overall performance.

We clearly wanted the players to move the ball as quickly as possible and force them on to the back foot whenever they lost possession, but we ended up giving away a lot of silly possession, particularly Levitt, Campbell, both fullbacks and even Youan in the first half.

If we got beaten tonight, I think we would have been seeing the players slated - unfairly given we were obviously executing a high risk gameplan. Those are the fine margins in football, and something to keep in mind when we are catastrophising after a defeat.

[NAE NOOKIE]

First of all, if that commentator really is from Dunbar he should be on Sportscene, bloody miles better and more informed than practically any of their current lot, who cares what accent he has.Hibs are just the most confusing club in the universe to follow, utter pish one minute and then putting in a battling performance away in Europe to a decent side and scoring twice to boot. Youan encapsulates the whole thing, he can drive you nuts for 90 minutes but comes up with two moments of class to make you forget it all. The real negative in both legs was the two headed goals we lost, criminal defending at both.In the end a super effort over the two legs and one of our better European performances of recent years .... It gives me the fear that we now have to face an EPL side, but the money will be good whatever happens. If we were to put them out apart from being a miracle it would probably be right up there with the greatest results in the club's history ... at no time since WWII has the gulf between Scottish and English top flight clubs been so vast.

[Tambo]

Fair play to the defence for holding as strong as they could, feel for them in games like these when it's constant pressure on them.

Newell done well in the second half when Levitt went off injured.

[Dmas]

A great result tonight totally unexpected on my part, I saw Hanlon and Stevenson in defence again and knew we'd concede soft goals. LJ better get wise quick to the problem or it'll cost him big time.

Hanlon was poor for the 2nd goal for sure but he’s been better than Fish in the games played so far this season, and was solid in the home leg.

Fish is getting away with murder after a few poor performances, didn’t get back quick enough V St.Mirren, rag dolled V Motherwell and ball watching last night all resulting in goals against, Hanlon making 1 mistake doesn’t make him the problem

The goals you describe above really need to be eradicated, just by defending properly and being switched on ALL THE ****IN TIME , its not as if the opposition are really working hard and actually creating these chances.Great win Hibs, but we will never do anything unless the manager sorts out that defence.

[PiemanP]

It’s a tremendous result, but we certainly rode our luck and have Ellie to thank for two moments of brilliance.

I still have serious concerns about our midfield. If Levitt is out for a while I think we simply must bring in a new face - someone who is comfortable on the ball and has some drive. Newell is quality but Campbell / Jeggo / JDH I do not rate.

There’s an irony that Kyle Magennis has started the season fit and well for Killie. I don’t think it was the wrong decision to let him go but it stings that the minute he leaves he appears fine and helping a rival.

After the game I was marching back with our ultras and didn't see anything happen like this. Of course, there were some mockeries and stuff, but all in all a very friendly atmosphere. For the whole ultras I know, there was not a plan to cause trouble, many were also going to have a pint with Hibs fans.The most aggressive part came from the police with another totally unnecessary use of the water canon and rubber guns. They managed to take the eyesight of 5 people within the last 2 years with their absolutely stupid use of rubber guns.So you say there was pepper spray used by fans or security? Just want to say one more thing regarding the police: If anyone was injured by a rubber bullet. Please report it to the Hibs and/or FC Luzern!

Absolutely, no arguing from me that we need to defend much better not just against villa for the rest of the season it’s been brutal up to now, my main gripe is the singling out like it’s one man to blame, sunday was stevenson last night was Hanlon, player will make mistakes those two aren’t the only ones and players in front of these players need to work harder to help as well it’s not the job of 4 players to defend, showed first leg v luzern what happens with a bit hard work and commitment to do both roles that needs to happen every week no matter who we are playing against if we are to get anywhere close to finishing 3rd

[Broken Gnome]

The goal was inexcusable, but I generally thought Hanlon was very very good last night. The majority of his defending in most games is actually quite dominant - decision making rather than physically - and he does have the air of someone using their experience well and looking like a good centre half.

The whole problem is that there are those odd moments like last night, no getting away from that, and they happen in more games than should be the case. I don't think it can be argued the majority of his game at present IS good though, can it? He's not past it, finished, a liability or any other of those throwaway lines people chuck at him?

[Broken Gnome]

Would Hanlon and Stevenson get away with gifting goals at any other SPL team ?I genuinely don't know, or can't answer that. Just think that he still carries himself well enough to be seen as someone that is a realistic first choice at this point in time. It's not like we need to be consigning him to youth team duties with Daz just yet.

Stevenson's a different case, as it's pretty much universal that we need to be moving away from him as a left back.

I don't think other SPFL teams would be ditching their left backs in favour of Stevenson, put it that way, but Hanlon would be comfortably good enough for most defences in the league. Do realise plenty think differently, though.

If we give the opposition 70% of possession, and they pummel us with it, it's inevitable that mistakes will happen.

Hanlon was excellent for the vast majority of the game. Would any other SPL centre half have performed to such a high standard?

If we give the opposition 70% of possession, and they pummel us with it, it's inevitable that mistakes will happen.

Hanlon was excellent for the vast majority of the game. Would any other SPL centre half have performed to such a high standard?

Him and Fish had excellent games, save for Fish twice jumping and missing a corner and then Hanlon wasn't great at their 2nd. But considering we seemed to have a "fire away lads" policy when it came to blocking crosses, they did admirably

This has aged well.

To make it even better our U17s team beat the Swiss too, so 3-0 tae the Scots and nae tears in his jar. The responses to his tweet are pure Scottish twitter and glorious with it!

Posts like this get on my nerves. It's a forum, people post in real time watching a game and go a bit OTT - so what?

Enjoy the win and your time over there rather than sniping.

And if a poster makes comments about posts he thinks are OTT - so what?

Enjoy the win rather than having a go at someone.

(cue someone to come along and tell me to enjoy the win rather than criticising 😀)

I was only 'having a go' at someone having a go.

This could go on a while ..

Gonna need a bigger jar to collect those Swiss tears.

We're we that combative? We just didn't let them bully us, they got away with quite a lot over the 2 legs.

Love it. Same thing for Scotland National Team beating Spain and Norway recently and the mega Rodri and Odegaard tears (Georgia too). We really seem to rile Europeans up. Maybe it’s because our teams are finally starting to perform and they aren’t liking it one bit.

As my late dad would say about the tippy tappy football why make 35 passes to move forward when one will do,nothing wrong with the long ball game as long you find a team mate. People who come up with these type of comments are really only highlighting their inadequacies.

Some ****ing brass neck on him to call us combatative, some of their fouls at ER were minging. A different ref and they'd have been down to 10 at least.

Agree should have had reds in both games with the Boyle one utterly bizarre refereeing in the second match.

Would Hanlon and Stevenson get away with gifting goals at any other SPL team ?

All our other players seem to get away with it every week. 😂

Desperate stuff. His team are a bunch of cloggers and we stuck 5 past them.
