Maka v Stack

[Dalianwanda]

Ok now we have had a chance to see both keepers (Ive only seen Stack play first hand against Celtic)...What are the main differentials between the two keepers in your opinion? I think Yves has been a bit unfairly treated & cant see what he has done wrong, Stack had a couple of dodgy moments in the game I saw (but was immence against Rangers)...I think Stack was immense last week, not sure how he was today??

Stack is far from being the perfect goalie. He doesn't come off his line often enough and struggles with crosses. However, he's been part in a 6 game unbeaten which has taken us to 2nd in the SPL. During that time, can't think of any times when he's blundered. So....

decision to play Stack ahead of Maka has been spot on. Also, you sometimes need to look beyond a goalies basic abilities. Stack is a character and has played a key part in our new-found team spirit - in much the same way as Budgie did in the early 90s.

Id be not far away from all of that...Feel a bit sorry for Maka though..Stack does seem to be a great personality as you say and I think hes gonna get better with games and understanding..Hopefully Maka relishes the challenge of now being number 2

I hope so too J.

The big lad will get a shot at some point this season, but Stacky is doing the business and should keep the jersey at the moment.

We could have had wee zouma in goals yesterday for all of the Sheeps attacking prowess.

Role on the Derby

The lot of a Hibs goalie these days is pretty much defined by your reaction to the pasting you will inevitably get behind the goals in the second half at Tynecastle. Next week will be a true test of Stack's temprement as the classless hoards have gotten under Maka's skin in the past.

A lead at half time would make life a lot easier mind...

Did they? I must have missed that. When was that? Surely not when he went off injured at half time at ER!!!

It's good stuff like.

[blackpoolhibs]

The comedy caper goals we used to concede have disappeared. Enough said.

[Hibs90]

Has to be said as much of a nice guy Maka is and a good keeper, Stack has impressed me recently and deserves to keep the shirt for the time being.

Agreed.......

DVZ and Keenan or Lewis at left back has been well and truly ditched...

Thank god, only Hogg to go now, and the back 4 would be fine.

[Toaods]

Only faults I've seen from Stack so far is not taking crosses and some poor punches...one yestreday was particularly worrying and I still don;t know how the Sheep never got it over the line.

Results have been good in terms of goals conceded but fingers crossed it continues and the end of the day, it shouldn't matter who is in goals or any other position if the results are rolling in.

[Dalianwanda]

Some good saves apart (Maka made some too) what do you think he brings to the team?

[blackpoolhibs]

I think Maka does not instill confidence in the back 4, and certainly not in the stands. He does come for more crosses, but he is prone to a gaff.
Stack is an organiser, his kicking is much better, he does not panic, and the comedy goals have disappeared. He does not come for many crosses, but there is no confusion anymore.

Stack every time for me, we just look better with him there.

No confusion any more?? There's mayhem every time a cross is thrown in! Rangers could have had three more from crosses ..Miller's was a sitter.And imagine the slating Maka would have got if he had gone walkabout like Stack did at ibrox when he gave away a pen when he was never going to get the ball.All in all like someone mentioned on another goalie thread..Stack has had a lot of good fortune in not being punished for his inadequacies.

Certainly not in my pants

Got to agree with this, though i do hope that Maka can see the positive side and work to cut out his errors cos he has the makings of a good goalie if he does.

Oh well, i will just have to put up with a lucky keeper to a poor one.

Fair doos...To be honest I cant really comment, seen plenty of maka and not enough of stack..I think Maka got a lot of unjust stick..IMO think he will go on to be very good..Stack from the little I have saw of him looks a good shot stopper & organiser..Sure he had a gaff against Celtic but it led to nothing so no one mentioned it..Hes not had that many games so although I dont want him to have one its not as if Maka was letting in a comedy goal every game either..

No he was not letting a stupid goal in every game, but i cant remember the actual numbers, but i think he had played something like 52 games, and imho there had been far too many of his mistakes that had resulted in goals. We could go through all them again, but he made far too many in such a short amount of games. Thats why Yogi got someone else in.

What penalty did he give away at Ibrox?
