Your MotM ?

[Donegal Hibby]

Many candidates today though I'm going for Triantis as mine . Looks a quality player since moving to midfield.

[Coach Jon]

ALF was the difference today, played a key role, brilliant play for all three goals, great movement and still showed hunger when a lot of the team had stopped trying.

[Ryan91]

Agreed, looked good in that 6 role, but got forward well and played some good passes.

[Wull]

What a pleasure to have to decide between 3 maybe even 4 players, but I go with Alf

[blackpoolhibs]

ALF or Newell, both were very good, probably pick ALF because i dont really like Newell. :wink:

[tamig]

Triantis, ALF or Newell for me. All excellent and Chris Cadden also worth a shout until a couple of sloppy decisions in the second half.

[Unseen work]

ALF is brilliant, such a clever player.

[Broken Gnome]

He was a wee bit off being MOTM, but Elie Youan was excellent today. Frequently did the right thing, and worked his arse off.

[houstonhibbee]

Maybe not MOTM but chris Cadden makes a huge difference to our attacking threat down the right

[Onion]

Newall.

[Centre Hawf]

Thought Joe Newell was once again excellent today. Thought he looked a level above his opposition in nearly every part of his game, he was stronger in the tackle, faster when dribbling through sometimes 2 or 3 players, and his passing was excellent.

[wookie70]

I would go for ALF, but Youan, Newell, Fish and Triantis were all very good. All the starters did well

[Exuberance1875]

Fish had a great game imo

[Hillsidehibby]

Agree :agree:

[BILLYHIBS]

Alf

Cadden and Fish also good

My hero Rocky got caught a couple of times not like him

[Forza Fred]

Alfie.

Did ok for a 37 year old who last played in Australia and India😂

[DarlingtonHibee]

Joe

[sauzee1989]

Took a lot of abuse from hibs fans before injury but he’s far superior than miller who is often too clumsy.

[andrew_dundee]

A lot of good performances but I'd say ALF.

[B.H.F.C]

ALF for me. What a difference having a striker who knows how to do all the other things you need from a striker. Could also hear him screaming at Youan in the second half about when to press, when to stay etc which is something we all know he needs.

[Edinburgh Green]

He was a wee bit off being MOTM, but Elie Youan was excellent today. Frequently did the right thing, and worked his arse off.

He had a great game. Picked the right option nearly every time. Long may it continue.

[Green_one]

Fish for me. Did not put a foot wrong. But several decent performances today

2 very good assists.

[Northernhibee]

Triantis, ALF, or Youan.

[hibsbollah]

Good to hear, and hope some of the tiresome moaning about workrate pish gets is parked, for a week at least.

[babahibs]

Fish, Triantis, Newell, Youan and ALF were all excellent today, between Newell and ALF for MOTM imo.

[wookie70]

His decision making and passing were really good today. I am his worst critic and all I had was praise for him. Jair filled the gap though as he looked pretty lost when he came on not helped by being fouled repeatedly. I think ALF being on teh pitch gives us a captain up top. He is constantly firing off directions to players and his running off the ball demands passes are made.

[Gettin' Auld]

Could have easily gone to any of 3 or 4 players. I'd have went for ALF but can't complain about Newell getting it.

[MWHIBBIES]

Newell and ALF excellent

[LewysGot2]

ALF or Cadds for me :thumbsup:

[Hibby70]

Thought Obita was also good today. But would have gone for Joe as motm

[Stick]

Triantis for me, what a difference he makes covering for the defence and midfield. Think he had a nose bleed at one point as he broke so far forward, but unfortunately didn’t have the pace to beat the 2 Livi defenders.
Joe also magnificent as usual.

Said earlier, could actually hear ALF screaming at Youan in the second half about when to press and so on. I also think his movement is that good that he makes other players minds up for them.

That said, Youan did things today that you wouldn’t normally associate with him. Cadden went forward at one point in the first half and Youan just sat in. I reckon he’s had a rocket after Wednesday.

[Tambo]

A good few players done very well today.

Hopefully so, I'm one of his bigger fans probably and even I had my head in my hands when seeing Dhanda run off him in the replays. I do think he needs to feel the love sometimes Elie, but a reminder that it's a team game and you'll look a million times better to prospective buyers when your goals and assists actually count for something than in 2-2 draws or losses.

It is so frustrating as he looks so fit and it is either concentration or application. we all know how good he can be running with the ball but the last couple of games he has played some very good passes. He has everything he needs to make a huge amount of money from football but he needs to get the bit between the ears right a bit more often. Did really well today though and should be proud of his contribution

[Ralphy C]

ALF or Newell, both were very good, probably pick ALF because i dont really like Newell. :wink:
Do you not, ye shoulda mentioned it:greengrin

[Crab apple]

ALF was excellent today just as he was when he came on in the second half on Wednesday. I love when we have a clever experienced forward in the team. Makes me feel less old too!

[ancient hibee]

Youan’s best game for a while.Knew what he should be doing and passed the ball well in the middle of the park when under pressure.

[Carheenlea]

Good to hear, and hope some of the tiresome moaning about workrate pish gets is parked, for a week at least.

There were some groans however from the East when he didn’t chase to try and keep the ball in play in the second half. I don’t think he was getting there anyway so not sure why there were grumblings. Maybe looked different from different angles.

Pleased with his performance and glad I didn’t have to choose the MOTM as there were no stand outs as such - just a lot of very solid performances. For contribution in the goals I’d probably have plumped for ALF.

[silverhibee]

ALF or Newell, both were very good, probably pick ALF because i dont really like Newell. :wink:

Both were good and I was all for dropping Newell for Triantis before the game, Rocky and Fish were solid enough and Cadden was doing well until he got injured.

But I’m going for Rocky, guy is improving every week since he came back from international break.

[silverhibee]

He was a wee bit off being MOTM, but Elie Youan was excellent today. Frequently did the right thing, and worked his arse off.

Forgot about Ellie, great performance from him, looks like he has listened to the manager’s instructions and carried them out today.

[silverhibee]

This, a good team performance from everyone today.

He was never getting it, strange that folk moaned about it.

[Cabbage-Patch]

Triantis. Never put a foot wrong and put in a shift and a half in midfield. Looks a different player since moving up the pitch

[007]

Could hear Montgomery giving him a fair amount of instructions during the 1st half.

Talking of him needing to feel the love, there was one in the second half where he looked like he could have got the ball but stopped and it ran out for a goal kick. The crowd had a bit of a grumble and it definitely registered with him because he had a bit of a pop back at the crowd in the East.

Theres grumblings because when players get a reputation, it seems to take 5 times as long to persuade themselves that the reputation isnt deserved anymore, as it was to get that rep in the first place. I heard so many ‘lazy bass as’ comments last game that simply wasn’t justified in Youans case.

[JohnM1875]

Youan pretty comfortably for me. Two great assists and just a much more complete performance from him.

Think he showed today he's probably our best player if he keeps it simple when needed. We all know he has the skill to skin the league, it's choosing when. If he nails that he's unplayable.

[VoltaireHibs]

I'm not his biggest fan but I don't think he's lazy as such, I think he lacks game intelligence. When to press, when to pass, when to track. Under LJ he had a spell he was doing it all, so not sure why he stopped doing that. He is prone to not tracking his man, we've all seen that, but he also looks like one of the fittest players in the team. Don't think I've ever seen him looking knackered.

[BILLYHIBS]

Nice cameo today in his premiership debut from Jacob MacIntyre caught the eye with his strong running always available for a pass and a few decent through balls

[Broken Gnome]

I'd maybe give it Newell actually, as could've been a different game if it wasn't for him - he's basically stopped Livi scoring at one end on the edge of the box, then launched us down field and we're 2-0 up thirty seconds later.

Even rang rings round them despite his finger popping out seconds before.

[danhibees1875]

I thought Newall was absolutely superb today.

Epitomised by his part in the second(?) goal, starting with a good last ditch tackle after Rocky (?) had been caught in position, a driving run past 2/3 Livi players, and a finesse pass through to set up the eventual assist.

Just an all round great performance.

[Keith_M]

I was on the fence with this with but decided to go with Newell

....just to p1ss off BlackpoolHibs :wink:

[HFC93]

Triantis for me. Looks a good player.

[JohnM1875]

Triantis for me. Looks a good player.

He really does. Hope we can sort something for next season. Would love to sign him, but if not another season long loan would be class.

So weird, I was gushing about Marcondes after the first few games, but he's actually the loan player I'd be least fussed about signing, of the starters anyway, obviously think he's better than Mayenda. Again, think Marcondes is class, but don't think he fits the team anywhere near as much as Myziane or Triantis

[LaMotta]

:agree::agree::agree:

He was so good I'm starting a thread about him.:greengrin

[andrew70]

Newell followed closely by his partner Triantis.

They were the bedrock of our performance.

[Souter96Mac]

Obviously delighted with the result and performance, but going to be honest, I was surprised Newell got motm today - whilst I thought he had a decent game, I thought there were several others who out performed.
Jordan Obita was the standout for me, he was everywhere today and took his goal well. Triantis was v solid. Youan created a lot 1st half in particular, and Alfie was v clever.

[Pete70]

Triantis for me. Won headers, tackles, brought the ball out of defence dribbling past Livy players, thought he had a very good game.

[Tarrahib]

2 very good assists.
Yes 2 good assists and also involved in the other goal.
Did he really deserve the shouting towards him. He gave the East Stand fans the stare and a few minutes later the manager took him off and made sure he got a big hug.
Well played Youan.

Its doing my head in. I honestly think folk dont bother watching games and just base their views on something they decided a month before. There are a few folk around me who start chuntering away about Youan before weve even kicked off.
