Liam Miller

[LamontHFC©]

An utter disgrace. One of the most pathetic excuses of a player. Has all the talent, but no fight, no commitment, no passion, can't win a header, or a tackle for that matter. He is absolutely pathetic.
One of the most frustrating Hibs players I've ever has the misfortune of watching.

That is all.

I thought he actually had a decent first half and then got caught up in the second half and tried to do things on his own, kept losing the ball and then his passing went. Sadly he was not the worst of the "star" players on the park.

[loanheadhibby]

If the ****bo's want him I am free to drive him to gorgie tonight?

There is a reason a boy with that ability is with hibs in 1st place, BOTTLER.

[allezsauzee]

And the award for most predictable thread is.......

Miller was one of those who didn't hide today, he didn't play that well but the lack of movement by his team mates when he's looking to pass was woeful.

[SloopJB]

A totally over the top reatcion but what I've come to expect.
Miller had a few bad touches during the game sure but but to say pathetic and an utter disgrace is carrying it too far.

Ayr had a couple of chances to score but never did I think that a goal was coming for them.
We played but never looked like scoring, they defended in numbers and never put us under pressure.

Zemmama has still to get his touch back too but there were more disgraces in the stand than on the pitch.

I think some must spend money to go there, get angry and shout abuse. daft day out that. of those shouting abuse beside me, none made any reference to good moves.

[Golden Bear]

What is likely to be said about Miller has probably all been said before but in my book the guy is not a winner and it's winners we need right now.

Were you actually at the game? He is one the few players who can actually pass ato another Hibs player. If your looking for players who did not perform today look at Murray and Deeks

[DaveF]

Can't agree with the OP at all.

Yes, Miller did have a few loose touches, but show me a Hibs player today who didn't!

I thought Miller harried and chased the ball pretty well and while he's not doing enough in terms of creating chances, he needs the others around him to help in doing that.

He certainly wasn't the worst performer out there today.

He was probably one of the few who tried to make something happen today.

It probably didn't help that Derek Riordan appeared to be doing a pretty passable impersonation of a statue up front. Absolutely nothing for Miller to pick out. No wonder Duffy was raging when he got hooked and Riordan stayed on, Duffy was poor but at least he looked interested.

No need to be sorry when you are wrong but Liam Miller did try today and was better than most. Over all we were gash.

[truehibernian]

Liam's performance dipped to a simply unacceptable level after a period in the second half when 3 times he failed in quick succession to find a Hibs player.

After that, his body language and effort diminished to an unprofessional level in my opinion and if CC had not used his subs he would have been instantly hooked. Totally baffling from a player of his level and experience, but shows the real lack of desire and confidence in the side.

Very very unprofessional though, as was Derek for spending 2 minutes arguing with a fan in the FF rather than face play and get stuck in. He also looked unfit, and then picked up an injury too. Stay off the booze Derek or your body will find you out son.....it's beginning to IMO.

[Stantons Angel]

Everything to be said about Miller has previously been said on another post last month. He has got talent but does NOT show it when in a Hibs jersey. His passing DOES go astray 99% of the time, be it whether or not he has anyone creating space around him. Today he was a sheer disgrace for someone I know has so much talent. He continually gave the ball away as he has done ALL season. In other games this season this has caused goals against us.

Like most of you i dont like picking on one player and there were many more just as bad today. He does not help his cause with his lack of commitment in the tackle.

We needed players like him with his undoubted talent just to provide that telling pass to unlock that defence and provide a goal.

No one says it is going to be easy but we need to see a lot more commitment from the players, a bit steel in their attitude and a bit pride in their jerseys.

This is the HIBS they are playing for and they should be proud to do so!!!

im not though

he may have tried but wasn't good enough.

in the first half the ball was played through to him just inside the 18 yard box and his attempt to control the ball looked very half hearted.

countless times in the 2nd half he passed to an Ayr Utd player at 1 point 3 times in under a minute.

I understand why folk got on his back today.

He wasnt the worst would stick my neck out and say zouma was, he was as well not being on the park at all.

This could end up like the panto--Oh yes you are-- but do agree that Zouma was terrible but Ian Murray was trapping the ball further than Brown can kick it !! As for Riordan he was awful did not move or show for the ball. But he does carry a goal threat.

[Devine]

I couldnt give 2 hoots if people say tackling and getting stuck in is not is game. There are comes a time for every player in every team to roll up their sleeves get stuck in and put your heart on te line for the team.

This spineless imposter pulled out of countless challenges and that allied with his shocking passing display renders him useless. If hes not willing to dig in for the team in games like today OR make up for it with a proper performance when we have the ball then get him to f*** im fed up of the defence of a guy whos pulled about 3 decent performances out of his arse in the last 18 months and lives off a reputation of past glories/failuires. Totally useless

[ancient hibee]

Ithas now reached the stage that the defence appear reluctant to give Miller the ball anywhere near our penalty area because they can't rely on him not to lose it and he constantly plays it back to them putting them under pressure.

100% correct, but that's the problem with the team at present. They all play with their backs to the opposition and not on the front foot.

Time and time again a pass goes to Miller, Murray, McBride and their backs are to the opposition, so they either turn into trouble, or it goes slowly side to side.

The team lacks balance and width in the midfield, and players who can zip it forward at pace a la Bauben and Gomis at Utd. It's so slow and ponderous which like you say means we play ourselves into trouble.

We are also the poorest in the league by far at keeping possession from throw-in's and set pieces. That is a training ground matter which isn't being addressed (or seen on pro-zone)

Spot on, Miller bottles out of so many challenges, why are the players not proud to pull on a Hibs jersey, the attitude of every one of them is a disgrace IMO

Total bollox and typical of some of the dross posted recently. The guy is the only thing resembling a footballer we have, and his options are constantly limited by the dross around him (that's the "fighters" and the "grafters" mainly).

The untouchables like Riordan and Murray were absolutely abominable today, but seem to be getting off with it here. Murray because he has "committment" and Riordan because he's Riordan.

Murray has no pace or discernible ability and is suspension fodder. Riordan's attitude sucks and if he thinks he's too good for this club, the door is well signposted.

Yet some people want to unload genuine talent for plug-away grafters who go flying into challenges to impress the fans. No wonder we're deep in the proverbial.

Quite a few of these dafties near me in the West Lower with quite a few making a point of heading for the tunnel area at FT to shout abuse at CC and the players!

Class eh?

[truehibernian]

Genuinely cannot believe some posters saying Ayr United never had chances or put us under pressure.

First half they had two chances to open the scoring, one going narrowly wide of Mark Brown's left hand post.

Second half, a kamikaze piece of defending at right back allowed the ball to go beyond Brown and nearly to an Ayr player on the back post, then Miller and Hanlon conspired to lose possession at the byeline and the cross deflected across the goalmouth.......and then Mark Brown pulled off a save of the season to deny them a winner at the end.

I must watch a very different game of football, but IMHO Ayr United deserved at the very least a draw today. They battled for everthing and they could have sneaked it.

[truehibernian]

Oh and their free kick that I thought was in all the way in the second half.

[The Harp Awakes]

I've had a season ticket for Easter Road for 19 years and I'm seriously thinking of giving it up next season.

Not because of the inept team we currently have, but because of the so called supporters who constantly slag off players for 90 minutes at a game and can't wait to get to their keyboards and continue the onslaught on threads such as this.

The team at the moment are cr@p but many of our supporters are a disgrace and don't deserve any better.

If you are looking for a pathetic excuse for a player look no further than DerekRiordan. Miller is one of the best players at the club IMO

[nlod]

How often does Miller play well? He constantly gives ball away, shirks tackles, put team mates in trouble...... If he is one of our best player we are in deep doo doo

[Sir David Gray]

I totally agree with the OP, can't believe the amount of people who are defending Miller.

This is a guy who was playing Champions League football for Manchester Utd just over five years ago and who was a regular for Ireland until very recently as well. Today he was struggling to compete for the ball with players from the Scottish second division and could hardly make a pass all afternoon. On one occasion, he gave away possession three times in the space of about 20 seconds.

Yes there's others who are not pulling their weight in this team but his performances have not been good enough for someone who should be driving the team forward. With the pedigree that he has, he should be a stand out performer in the majority of our games but instead he has been anything but for the best part of a year now.
