What a difference when he's got a couple of strong guys in there with him. His best game for a long long time.

I'm sorry, must be on the wrong forum about another Liam Miller. Missed the game today, he was brilliant?

I'll hold my hands up and say I have been a critic of Miller recently but today I thought he was great.

He was good today but he is a really a good player anyway. I think we will rely on him for that creative input in our new look midfield.
One thing- made some great opportunities and he just needs to pull the trigger and have a go himself a bit more!

IMO he was better than he's been, but not as good as some of the posts on here make out.

He competed much better than of late and worked himself into some great positions - bearing down on their back 4, but his final ball and decision-making was poor IMO. Still not a patch on the player that we saw in his first 6 months.

AFAIK he's never suffered a long term injury yet he's nothing like that player.
I'm well aware of the fact that if he was that good we couldn't afford him.

It's been a while coming but he was really good today. Let's hope there's more performances like that to come

Much better performance today from Liam, but I still have the feeling that he is lacking a bit of confidence. His final ball at times was not what it should be and I just feel that he over done the running with the ball at times when a shot at goal or a good lay off would have been a better option.

Played really well. He is the only one in the midfield with class to open up teams. Seems to revel in the midfield with Palsson and Scott doing the donkey work. Best performance for a long time. He was shattered when he went off.

Allother things equal Confidence is the telling factor
Hope ER can become an environment conducive to creating a virtuous cycle of confidence inspiring vibes towards selfactualisation ;)

Miller had a great game today. I honestly thought he would have been dropped anytime soon,as a result of his last few abysmal performances but there you go. wish he'd have a pot at goal more though.

The thing that stood out most was his set piece delivery, excellent throughout. He swung almost every corner into the 6 yard box with great pace and, had we been more clinical with our heading and timing of runs, we may have scored a couple more.
Much better Liam, please keep it up.

If we an build around him in midfield, which is what I think CC is doing, then I think the only way is up. We couldn't afford a player of his pedigree now. Lets use it!

Liam Miller slid into a tackle on the half way line today AND won the ball. His shorts got dirty and everything
Seriously though...that did happen. That is exactly the thing that you don't expect from him normally. He adds this to his game and we have a 'right good' midfielder there.

Thats the Liam Miller I want to see at Hibs. If he plays like that on a consistent basis then I will be very happy to see him handed a contract extension from us.

Excellent - I must check the dictionary as he didn't come to my view of what an excellent performance is.
What today and every other game since this time last year (and probably before it) proves is that the expression "when the going gets tough, the tough get going" does not apply to Liam Miller.
Today there was a platform for him to perform, thanks to some very good performances by others in the team. I don't really want to names names as that will undermine my argument in the views of others. But I will, 'Jimmy' Scott ran all day chasing down players and generally being a pain. I am not saying he is excellent, but he gave the commitment that I would have expected irrespective of whether you are a 'Messi', a 'Rooney' or a 'Ronaldo' or a lower division player. Once you have that level of commitment then you can build on it with skill.
Yes - people say but Miller is not that type of player. But I say look at Messi, Ronaldo and Rooney and you have players that have fantastic work ethic PLUS the skill. Combine the two and you have excellent players and excellent performances.
One good performance by Miller, but where has he been for the last year. "when the going gets tough, Liam Miller goes missing...."

I agree with you especially about the bit in bold but, I think at Hibs we'll just have to settle for players who compliment each others games and blend well together!
We're never going to have superstars and when we do unearth a bit of talent, they move on too hopefully bigger and better things i.e the EPL as apposed to the infirm.
Anyway CC seems to be starting to get the players to gel and do what they are supposed to do and play as a team so as long as Liam plays like that, I am very happy to have him be part of it.
Keep up the good work Liam, but more importantly keep it up Hibs.
Happy Hibee days are here again.
