Lewis Stevenson

[Hibeesmad]

Just realised he has only ever recieved 1 red card in his career- a second yellow card in the 90th minute away to St Mirren in 2012. Very impressive record for a defender, shows how good of a tackler he actually is

Yeah, however he has only been sent off once during match

[Seveno]

He also keeps his mouth shut which avoids a lot of yellow cards. Are you listening Mr Craig ?

This thread is about Lewis Stevenson, can we not keep it that way?

If you want to go moaning about players, especially when we have got second like we were aiming for after Hearts stormed it, can you not just sit in a darkened room on your own and you can do it as much as you want?

Shows how we, (and particularly stevenson and hanlon) have been too soft in recent years IMO.

Yes, that's exactly what it shows. Couldn't possibly be that they time tackles well or are good at what they do.

If being "hard " means racking up needless yellow card and thus suspensions, then count me out.

Not saying we haven't been too soft in the past few years but a lack of yellow card does not de facto equal being too soft

To be honest I can't help but agree with lunatic. Stevenson and Hanlon could do with being a bit more ruthless at the back, something I felt Nelson really added to the side when he was here. Both could certainly do with being a bit more no nonsense like Nelson was.

[Kojock]

Defenders who pick up a lot of bookings are neither hard or no nonsense. They either lack the ability to tackle properly or are too slow to keep up with the attacker hence the need to foul. Hanlon and Stevenson both have pace and ability so both will do for me thanks.

That's right out of the Terry Butcher Footballing textbook.

You must be joking.

Nelson?

That's me convinced now.

Our form (this season apart) tells that story. IMO of course

No, but a good defender should average a few more Id reckon. Look at your John Terry's, your Ivanovic's and (probably more relatively) your davey weir's or Andy Websters. Any means necessary to stop opposition.

Ledley King only picked up 10 yellow cards in 326 appearances for Spurs. He was quality

As far as I'm aware, Phillip Lahm has never been sent off in his entire career with Bayern Munich

Paul Hanlon = Ledley King
Lewis Stevenson = Phillip Lahm

Neither , just echoing what many of the posters and most of my Hibbee pals think of your criticsm of Hanlon and Stevenson

Not really what's being said though is it?

Top defenders have usually got a cynical side and will do whatever it takes to stop the other team scoring. I think the poster you've quoted is questioning whether Stevenson abd Hanlon have that ruthless streak, I'm not sure they do either.

TOP defenders have nothing of the sort. We've build a team of players who from front to back are ball players. The game moves on. Hanlon biggest quality is reading the game so he gets in ahead of a striker rather than having to fire through the back of him. He's more than capable of getting stuck in also but a player on the deck is a player out of the game.

Watch the Italians tomorrow night and come back and tell us top defenders don't have a cynical side.

Hahahaha!!

Nelson was one of the worst footballers I have ever had the misfortune to watch in a hibs strip.

Thank God those days are gone!!

I was praising Lewis and making a valid point about Liam Craig. I was not criticising any of his performances but making the point that he is no good to us if he gets suspended.

My apologies for the fact that there are so many touchy people on this board.

You don't need it though. Both players are more than able to mix it if required but the idea if you are not going through players every week you are somehow not hard enough is dated approach still pushed by the butchers and malpas's of the world. No thanks. Are we really a better team if some of our defenders miss a few games a season due to suspension? Ramos would be a damn sight better if he didn't get booked in almost every game.
