Makes perfect sense to compare a players performance to others when criticising them. Everyone jumped in here on Slivkas back when he was no worse than the fan favourites who nobody says anything about.
Hopefully I can ruin a few more threads for you :)

The fact that this debate is happening after him being here for almost 3 years tells its own story.

Not sure exactly what role he undertakes in midfield. Not a def/mid, not a play maker, doesn't score, not a winger....does the basics ok but that's it really. If we're serious about challenging for top 4 he is not the answer.

I must be watching different games from many people on here.
One or two games apart, he brings very little to the team. A 2010’s version of Neil Orr.

Orr was like Stevenson - a reliable, non-flashy full back who played in most games.
Hamilton had a regular place in the team for most of his time here, although most of us couldn't understand why.
Slivka has been in and out of the team, sometimes because there were better players ahead of him but more often because he doesn't play consistently well enough even within a game, let alone over a run of matches.
I'd still keep him as depth or an option off the bench, but I'd also be looking to see if we could do better in the summer before offering him a new deal.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

In the 2nd half he was just part of a midfield who lost control of the game.
Having said all that, I think he's a classy player and therefore will continue to risk getting splinters in my arse by sitting on the fence. I just don't know if he's really going to make it at Hibs.

Hibs have been a shambles since the end of the 2017/18 season when our whole midfield left.
Lennon couldn't put it together again after poor player recruitment that summer. A few months after McGinn left Lennon had a melt down and started selecting random line ups in desperation and this disrupted the players.
Then Hecky came in and steadied the ship until the last 5 games of the season when we found out that we were unable to beat the other top 6 teams.
Our two defensive mids where moved on in the summer and not replaced.
That and tactics unsuited to our team continued the poor team form this season and the players pretty much all struggled.
Slivka is only 24 and was barely the age Shaw is now when he arrived. He joined a top class midfield and struggled for game time. After that the midfield disappeared in it's entirety in one window and he was forced to play in the mess described above. I am confident that Jack Ross will make the right decision on his future and if Slivka stays he will improve under the measured management of Ross.Last edited by CMurdoch; 31-12-2019 at 01:10 PM.

Since McGinn, McGeouch and Allan left, the midfield has had a real stop-gap feel to it. The whole thing reeks of squad players filling in until we get some decent players in, which we never really seem to be nearer addressing.
I quite like all of our players but I just feel like they all need some much better quality beside them to bring the best out in them, and we probably can't afford to carry so much filler.
I'm convinced our problems begin and end with the midfield. A better midfield protects our decent defenders and creates moe for our decent strikers, although we could probably do with a bit more competition up front and proper backup in case of injury.

On Slivka there maybe a player in there but it is not a consistent one with us we cannot have to many players who turn it on in patches especially if long gaps between them. We have Mallan who is inconsistent and if we are going to persevere I would stick with Mallan.Last edited by Captain Trips; 31-12-2019 at 03:30 PM.

I would prefer that rather than the cash being spread across 3 more average players.
As you say this would help the whole team to do what they do.

Wonder if Slivka being on the bench today and Whittaker playing instead, as well as Omeonga coming in is a clearer indication he won’t be here next season.

Don’t want to seem like I have it in for Slivka bumping this thread for a second time in a few days...
Another chance blown tonight. Surely he’s approaching, if not already past the last chance saloon. A decent player on his day, but now think we could probably put his wage towards another squad player who would contribute more on a more consistent basis. Would be happy enough to move him on in this window if we got a replacement and now wouldn’t be renewing unless it was on reduced terms.

The ball was played back to him from the kick off and the first thing he did was boot the ball into touch
Things did not really get better for him but in fairness Hallberg was not that much better
I want Slivka to do well maybe as 90+2 says he was still under the weather but as the OP says patience with Slivka is starting to wear a bit thin
Jack Ross got the half time changes spot on
