Going out the cup like that

[cleanyman]

Is poor

I don't care what the score is as long as we have a go

To go out with a whimper like that is pish

You can't beat Celtic by sitting in. You have a go.

Ultimately the football hasn't been good enough this season and the fans voted with their feet.

Well done to those who turned up and hopefully we can secure a top six finish this year

[TheMentalHibees]

I know we’re limited with squad options but we didn’t half make it easy for Celtic tonight. First half was alright but second we showed them far too much respect, sat off and let them come at us. Both the goals were poor but mistakes like that will happen when you invite pressure.

Ever occur to you that they maybe also stopped us playing, they have better players and are fast on break meaning we can't commit too many forward? Thought not.

I don't care about them

I care about how WE play

And we were too negative. Ever thought about that ?

[cleanyman]

Too easy. Simple.

[One Day Soon]

That was a ****ing disgrace.

*****. Total *****.

And if we had gone out all gung go, and lost, you would have been happy? Behave

The game was lost before we even got on the park, no fire in that side before a game like this, what the **** were they scared off.

Sorry what's wrong with it ?

Yes

Because it's the cup and we are playing Celtic

The score is irrelevant

You have a go

[R'Albin]

Cowardly performance. It was obvious right from the start that it'd be a comfortable win for them.

Losing is one thing but that was embarrassing.

[we are hibs]

I thought we competed well enough first half without really creating anything. Second half was woeful though. Barely laid a glove on them.

No fire because half the home support are sympathising with a rat like Lennon instead of the club

Well in my opinion, that would be naive. Not happy we lost, and yes, pretty poor performance, especially second half but a bit of realism wouldn't go amiss

[hibIBZ]

I thought we played well. We came up against Celtic on a good night. They defend well and were quick to neutralise out threats. For me out negatives were our crossing which was poor and wasted our good positions and I felt we were a bit soft and need to take a yellow here and there to impose ourselves

[Since452]

That ladies and gentlemen is the shambles Neil Lennon left. That performance was very much like Lennons 2 wins in 15 run.

Its no the support thats on the pitch.

[Onceinawhile]

If we had come out to play they'd have taken 5 or 6 off us and you'd be moaning that we should have sat deep.

Celtic are the best team in the country and on a different level in the cup. We got beat, it's disappointing, move on to the next one.

[GreenCastle]

With lack of pace we sat deep. As was worried about Celtic’s pace.

We wasted lots of energy first half and 2nd half it showed as we weren’t close enough.

Hearts can press high all game at Tynie as it’s played on the smallest pitch in the league.

[Nicho87]

What the master plan do the job at Celtic park. Sorry Heckingbottom that was depressing as it comes. Far too much respect shown to a peely waaly Celtic team. Have a go man.

[The_Horde]

Today was a real test of how Heckingbottom will pan out as hibs manager. Is he the attacking, high pressing kind that he says he is?

I think the answer is no. As usual, high press and direct style is an excuse for hoofball and stifling the opposition.

Too much focus on Celtic and not enough on how we can attack them.

Was it also his shambles that therefore won the last set of games? ....that was our new manager setting up the way he wanted to play, and it didn't work...trying to deflect it to Lennon is twisted poor logic...

That's pretty much how I saw it. Celtic were good tonight but we didn't really put up a fight. I thought we looked organised, neat and tidy but when they scored I didn't see us coming back. I hope Hecky learns from this as I wouldn't want us to regress back to the pre Lennon, pre Stubbs days when there was sometimes a lack of belief when we played the infirm.

[The Harp Awakes]

No fight, no enthusiasm and out without a whimper. Worrying.

First half we were fine - play like that and we will be near top half of league more often than not.

That was poor, no shots on goal negative set up and overall an awful performance.

Our defence needs a clear out I’m afraid.

[B.H.F.C]

Pathetic performance. No guts. No belief.

If that’s his style I worry about a big drop in season tickets sales

Tonight was awful with a real lack of fight
