Hibs vs Livi. Must win for Hibs.

[silverhibee]

Hopefully team come out today and show us what they are made of, time to stand up and play like a good team.

Team news shortly..

C’mon the Hibs. :flag: :flag:

As things stand it's him or Levitt to get the balance in midfield so yes I agree Newell is undroppable.

Wee need NMWs enthusiasm on the pitch, take it he might still be carrying a wee niggle.

[Coach Jon]

Wee need NMWs enthusiasm on the pitch, take it he might still be carrying a wee niggle.

He wasnt injured, he was suspended for the last game.

[truehibernian]

Wee need NMWs enthusiasm on the pitch, take it he might still be carrying a wee niggle.

Maybe also thinking about the height that Livi have at set pieces SH and having Triantis in there helps defensively.

[Allant1981]

Crazy stuff, Newell undroppable.

Why would newell get dropped?

[silverhibee]

He wasnt injured, he was suspended for the last game.

He was also carrying a knock.

[Unseen work]

Emiliano to score from a free kick today.

[HH81]

Need a won today. Massive game.

[silverhibee]

Why would newell get dropped?

Why would he not.

[Coach Jon]

He was also carrying a knock.

NM said he was fit and available to play at yesterdays presser, only doubt was Lewis Miller.

[B.H.F.C]

He wasnt injured, he was suspended for the last game.

He was also hooked at half time in the game before that, and early in the second half at Tynecastle with an ankle issue.

Was always going to be one of Triantis or Moriah-Welsh and Triantis played well during the week.

[Tambo]

Would love to see some goals and glory today, will take a 1-0 win though.

[Smartie]

Call me Nostradamus, I see us puffing and panting for 45 before NMW comes on and we instantly pick up the energy that was missing.

[badabing67]

Can't be bothered travelling in to the game today just gonna watch Hibs TV

[badabing67]

[Centre Hawf]

Happy with the team to be honest. Can't have too many complaints other than I'd maybe have started Welsh over Triantis but the lad has done well the last two games in that role so no issue with me.

[Coach Jon]

It worries me that when questioned about the slow starts, NM is defending this saying that we need time to grow into the game, and that starting fast and controlling the game are two different issues.
Too many teams are getting an easy ride in the first part of the match, we start slowly letting them have possession and time, allowing them to settle into the game and gain confidence, especially at Easter Road.
We should be going at teams like Livvy from the kick off, hopefully it starts today, but have my doubts.

[Lago]

Why would newell get dropped?
Apparently he's considered to be a show pony by some.

[silverhibee]

Valium fluoxetine and few joints on stand by for the next 90+ minutes.

A proper striker in Le Fondre making all the difference. Dragging defenders everywhere and able to hold it up and bring others into it.

Why do I have this fear…

Monty in! Hope we don’t take out foot off the gass and get a big win.

Shout out to Newell. That burst through two players and drive us 30 yards up the pitch, after a great tackle, is what I want to see from him on a consistent basis.

[sleeping giant]

Alf is class

[cabbageandribs1875]

ALF unlucky

[silverhibee]

What a start from Hibs here, hopefully keep it up and score a few more.

[scm70nyd1973]

Just need Lovell to shut up and this will be an enjoyable game to watch.

[Keith_M]

Not a bad start. :, 😁

Rocky winning the ball in our half, drives forward plays it to Newell who played a couple of great passes and ALF squares it for the goal.

Maybe I’m in a minority but I think Lovell is amongst the best around as a co commentator. I always really enjoy him and think he offers genuinely interesting insight.

[jeffers]

Whatever his contract situation we should be offering ALF another year. The guy is absolute class.

[Centre Hawf]

Livi are horrendous, but we've equally looked really good and punished them.

Hope for a good 4 or 5 goal win here.

[OtleyHibs]

That's got to be about 8 or 9 minutes without a goal now Hibs, get the finger out

[CyberSauzee]

He just talks too much. I agree he offers insight but I don't need to be told something from him every single minute.

Looks like they are doing imaginary VAR checks to see if they can help Livi to claw there way back in to the game

[Northernhibee]

This is the sort of score that our play of late has deserved.

[Coach Jon]

play down the wing one touch, cross and finish, its an easy game.

[Pretty Boy]

Take nothing away from Hibs who have been ruthless and full of attacking intent but Livi are absolutely disgraceful for a Premiership team.

They would struggle to make top 5 in the Championship on this showing. League will be vastly improved on a number of levels when they go down.

Brilliant goals today. Makes such a difference having a natural central striker up front. Big fan of Le Fondre

We should not be be in the position we are in

[Hibrandenburg]

This is the sort of score that our play of late has deserved.

Been saying this for weeks. We just didn't have a plan in the final third and always slowed down before the attempted final pass. Looks like we might have cleared that mental blockage.

[Centre Hawf]

Have to say I'd been debating ALF for another year, and with his injury had resigned to it being for the best moving him on, but the last two halves of football from him have made me really reconsider that. Hope he'll be like a new signing for the last 10 games.

[cabbageandribs1875]

no goals for quite a while now :I'm waiti

Livingston finding a bit of space down our right side. Cadden needs to switch on and do better defensively. Been caught out a few times by the same ball that he played to Youan leading to Alf's goal. Thankfully they've been unable to take advantage of it.
