    Maybe not the “solution” however would be a lot better than the options we currently have
    Certainly when we played the last derby.

    Whittaker would do a better job than Vela in front of the defence.
    Murray would do a better job than Horgan or Middleton.
    Kamberi or Shaw would do a better job than Doidge.
    I agree re Whittaker. I think he lacks the pace now for full back but playing centrally would suit him. He has the physical attributes and excellent technique. He can also pass the ball. He has played defensive midfield once for us recently and I thought he did well. Certainly better than our other options there at the moment IMO

    Got told today that SW has been told he’s no longer part of the plans.

    Need to stop rolling out this nonsense Marvin started 17 of our last 70 games while he was there. Vela may not be very good but Marv is not the solution.

    Today Livingston got beat but I saw Marv have a shot from the edge of the box and a header from a corner that nearly went in, he used to get a nose bleed if he went near the 18yd line, might not be the full answer but he's a battler and a leader at times, something we're lacking.

    He very rarely played in the last two years other than derbies no one was calling for him to be in the team.

    The same guy who gave arguably a motm performance 3 games ago and hasn't had the chance to blot his copy book since?

    That’s him

    Prob because he'd played the most - but I think Vela has been the worst of our signings.

    I'd rather he just get stuck in and make mistakes if that has to happen - but he's really struggling to make an impact and just looks invisible, which is infuriating for everyone watching.

    I'm not going to start saying he doesn't care for the club or anything tho. Unfair to make that call unless you actually know

    But yeah, just a total passenger at the moment.

    If that's the case it's bizarre. I would accept full-back is asking too much of SW these days but he's shown before he can play centrally in front of the back four.

    I would have him in there now as a first pick alongside Hallberg.

    If true

    MOM versus Celtic two weeks ago now surplus to requirements

    Hecky out!

    Vela is very much indicative of the mediocrity of the summer signings at the club.
    But this can't be right can it? I seem to remember loads of posts on here telling us what a great signing he would be.....

    This should be whittakers last season at hibs as a player. For every performance like celtic you get one like motherwell. He simply isnt reliable and hasnt been since he came back. A decent wage that could be spent elsewhere (under a different manager hopefully)

    This guy is probably up there with one of my least favourite Hibs players ever. He does absolutely nothing, genuinely forgot he was on the park at times. He to me sums up everything wrong with us as a club at the moment.

    Uninspiring, Boring footballer with no heart or drive about them.

    Actually worse than the likes of Liam Craig and Brian Kerr

    The imposter spends the whole game jogging into non existent spaces.
    Sure he is scared of his own shadow.....

    This should be Whittaker's, Hanlon's, and Lewy's last season at Hibs if being brutally honest and unsentimental - let alone the players like Vela, Newell and Doidge.

    He was brilliant today - when he ran full tilt to get the ball for a thrown in at the East....before disappearing again ala running into rubbish position to receive the ball as he isn’t in the slightest bit interested in battling or giving a toss.

    What a difference with 11 committed players on the pitch. Is the ghost injured or does Eddie May et al see what the fans have been watching with him.

    Any need to slaughter a Hibs player when we have had a good day and got the win? Where’s that Hibs class thread.......

    Why on earth after a great day Hibernian wise you would look up a Vela thread? Maybe he isn’t good enough but it’s oerhaps for another time.

    Today surely showed that it’s time for a clean slate for everyone.

    Doidge and Newell have taken pelters so far this season and they were 2 of our main men today. Others, like Slivka and Hanlon have come in for some serious criticism throughout their time with us in spite of putting in a good few excellent performances.

    I fully accept that Vela hasn’t impressed much so far but he should get as much chance as anyone to show what he can do with the shackles off.

    Bizarre man, there probably a dozen more relevant topics to post about after today but yet another poster has to post some ***** about a guy that wasn’t even in the squad.

    Glad am not the only one who thought this post was a joke.

    Yip let's give a chance but he needs to step next as his chances are dwindling.

    We sensibly chose one of Hallberg or Vela today - Hallberg got the nod and performed admirably. That’s not to say we write off Vela, but we know playing both doesn’t work.
