Malonga

**Ozyhibby** · 28-03-2015 04:08 PM

Has he scored since he got back from Africa?

**~~The_Horde~~** · 28-03-2015 04:11 PM

He's been *****. Needs dropped. Boyle and Cummings up front.

**The Tubs** · 28-03-2015 04:11 PM

Aye. He got a couple in his first game back at Easter Road.

**gaz1875** · 28-03-2015 04:28 PM

The trouble with players like Malonga is when sleeves need rolled up, and effort needs to be shown, these players go missing. When they are scoring goals all is good and well and it should be, but they never burst a gut to lift the players around them when the chips are down. Unfortunately since the African Nations we have lacked any pace up front, when Malonga was away Cummings started his scoring run and we looked a much quicker team going forward with Boyle playing off him. On his better days he is a very skilful player just not enough off them.

He actually worked very hard today.

Interesting this though after the Jack Harper thread.

Jeezo.

The last 2 weeks have been tough and I must admit I have started to question both the mental toughness in the squad and the how much the countless missed chances over the course of the season are goingt to cost us.

But do we really need thread slaughtering all our players. Oxley has been getting on both here and the PM board all week and now it seems Malonga is in the firing line.

I should have said I wasn't there today, but this is how I see him in most games. Stubbs also commented about how he appears to stroll around, but with the ball at his feet he is a different person.

People are frustrated as we appear to be heading for yet another failure of a season.
It may still be a success but it's not looking good tonight.

I get that, see my comments on other threads.

But Malonga is far from the only one to have let standards slip in recent weeks yet is singled out. I don't get that.

A bit dramatic really.

**MWHIBBIES** · 28-03-2015 05:24 PM

Was good today unlike our pathetic support who gave him grief every time he touched the ball. Very unlucky not to score with the header.

Boyle is howling as well. Came on today and I dont think he touched the ball in the ten minutes he played.

***Stevie Reid*** · 28-03-2015 05:29 PM

Malonga has been one of the best signings we've made in recent years.

He managed to get on the end of one cross out of about 20 that came into the box. Not even darting to the front or back post to try and get on the end of them. Failed to try and tackle defenders who had the ball letting them run past him. No wonder he got grief.

But he's our Jack Harper surely.I've been reading on here that that's the proper way to play not running around bashing into people.

I could just as easily say 1 of the 20 crosses actually found a Hibs player.

Totally agree, lazy frustrating player who looked completely disinterested today

Hes the main striker, he has to make himself a target, not just stand still looking disinterested in the penalty box.

Eh, we're currently second in the division and in the semi final of the Scottish Cup. Yet we 'appear to be heading for another failure of a season". Maybe retire your keyboard for a few weeks and see how things pan out?

Bollocks eh. A centre forward has to put himself about to try and win the ball, turn defenders and feed off scraps and mistakes.

A lot of fans travelled today looking a reaction to last week. I don't we really got one.

You'd be surprised at some of the names behind the non-de-plumes.

13 goals in 21 starts. How can it be argued with?

Cummings and farid next week.

**Green Fish** · 28-03-2015 06:00 PM

I'm not one for getting on players backs but he was brutal today. No fire, no passion, no grit. Come on, earn your wage big fella. He should have been hooked much much earlier.

**truehibernian** · 28-03-2015 06:03 PM

I'd certainly be teaching him how to play onside and read the bloomin line better.
