De Graaf

[HIBERNIAN 1875]

The guy is garbage. Took me 30 minutes to realise he was even on the pitch

[SneakersO'Toole]

Not his best game. But Miller was just as bad.

Although De Graff's miss was truly shocking.

He's not done enough to impress me so far. We looked a far better team with Galbraith on the pitch. Just a shame we had that muppet Thicot on as well. 3 points that clown has cost us in the last 2 games

Haven't seen him have one good game yet...

Two home SPL matches, twoopen goals missed, each of which could have made a big difference to the result.

[Beefster]

I thought the fans booing him were worse.

[Devine]

I gave him a chance as I thought his touch and sluggishness was due to lack of fitness.

Hes had 6 games now and hes still not found a first touch, sharpness or any of this box to box type fitness we were told he had. Garbage!

[Matty_Jack04]

so lets boo him and heckle him untill he comes good!

have seen enough of him in the the games so far to say he is of very poor standard and it is these type of imports that are stunting the growth of young scottish players from breaking into the first team,hence the reason our national team struggles so badly

Exactly.

[MussyHibby]

Looks cumbersome, he's all wavy arms, haven't seen anything that suggests he's good enough for Hibs.........yet! Does do some fine runs mind, so jury still out, still too early.

[Skanko79]

He is totally gash. Yogi's keen eye for a cracking player trully in full effect here. I've no doubt Hughes will persist in playing him untill he has one good game then say he told us so.

100% you either have a first touch or you don't,you can't teach a player to have a first touch, fact.

No I dont agree with booing him. I did however, give Yogi a bit of stick for leaving him on that long.

Ronaldo was a youngster this guy is 30 so lets not use stupid arguments!

Sort of agree with this - he does make runs from midfield and gets ahead of the strikers, which is what you expect "goal-scoring, box-to-box" midfielders to do. Haven't seen any evidence of great technical ability, a bit surprising for a guy that had 10 seasons in Holland's top league, TBH.

However, his reactions to situations seem quite slow (gets dispossessed very easily) - maybe needs some time to settle into the frenetic pace of SPL football. We're only 4 games in, I'm still giving him the benefit of the doubt. However, he really needs a performance soon - and hopefully a goal or two to restore his confidence.

Get a grip, your constant posting of drivel is really starting to grate on me.

[Andy74]

It's a very different game he is having to get used to. I reckon he'll be fine. As for the miss. Riordan missed from 12 yards. He's unlucky he's had two misses now though!

For me we are getting there. Nish next but we are getting the right sorts in. De graaf included.

[The_Todd]

I didn't notice him until the start of the second half when he was getting ready for kickoff. I was genuinly suprised he was on the pitch and thought he had come on as a sub.

[sauzee]

to try and get a player at 30 to change his style of play,from the dutch league to the spl,is like trying to stop an old greyhound running in circles.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Thought he made a couple of cracking through balls in the first half, and does have good vision. He has played in the same league for his whole career so have no doubt he is still adapting. Don't remember anyone criticising his finishing in the Maribor game.
And he hardly missed a sitter against rangers! Bougherra made an excellent challenge.
But hey, with no rankin or Hogg in the team we need to find new boo boys eh!!!
We hardly have a huge squad. Let's get behind what we have and spur these guys on!!!

[Cropley10]

He seems to like up a position which involves an opposition player being between him and the ball.

If he does receive a pass - he tends to then either lose possession immediately OR he passes it straight back to the same player. In many ways he's like Brian Kerr.

I can't believe this is the standard of player we've sunk to frankly...

[Gala Foxes]

2nd half, a Caley player, smaller build than De Graaf, brushed him aside like he wasn't there.

Not good enough on showing so far

[lucky]

De Gash is not up to standards. Two of my mates both thought he came on as a sub at HT.

[EasterRoad4Ever]

Too slow and technically worse than most of the other poor ineffective midfielders we have at the club. You can't blame the player for that, as "someone" at the club clearly thought he was good enough for Hibs.

We are expected to accept the verdict of a lot of unobservant people who don't even know who is on the pitch. He may not be same class as the top dutch players to come to these shores in the past but I think we lost control of the game when he went off.

You're right on the button.

Played very well against Maribor, for me it just seems to be the style of play... There is hope with him!

[DBHibs]

I've been really disappointed with De Graaf so far.

The team looked much better when Galbraith came on and I can't understand why he doesn't get a start rather than Yogi continually picking De Graaf.

If he's been strong enough to drop the underperforming trio of Hogg, Murray and Hanlon then why can he not see what everyone else seems to and drop De Graaf too??

I dont think we were ever in control of the game. He is too slow for the SPL and want more time on the ball than he is ever going to get. He is not in the same class as most SPL players. He is just not good enough. I think the point people beliveing he was a sub was them being sacarstic. De Gash is actually worse than Nish.
