    Chill, he kept a winning team.

    Omeonga will be in for him next week.

    Today was vintage Slivka - some really nice touches, the odd decent pass and occasionally wriggling out of tight areas.

    Then there were long spells where he was anonymous, several times where he switched off altogether and a number of times where he was sloppy in possession.

    An inconsistent mixed bag that promised much in places but ultimately flattered to deceive.

    Slivka - in a nutshell.

    Yep. I still have the small belief he will improve but have been waiting for this to happen for 2 years odds now.

    Penny for Omeongas thoughts today but it is a marathon not a sprint we have a small squad and have a lot of important games coming up and we need everyone to play their part.

    He’ll be back fresh and ready to go

    Tin hat time....I don’t think omeonga has done anything to warrant a starting place, think he’s been quite poor since signing tbh agree Slivka not the answer either but I’m not sure the wee man makes us any better

    Neither has Slivka thought

    Omeonga is still trying to get up to speed with games having been rusty since he left us. Slivka is the football equivalent of drizzle.

    I agreed slivka’s not the answer, I’d prefer someone else in his place than omeonga on recent performance though, maybe Whittaker to hold and let the others push on a bit, maybe even give Murray a run of games in a central position to see if he can hold a place down.

    I’m just not convinced by omeonga as others are, a great wee guy really took to us yes but he’s not done much on the pitch for me, I can see why JR isn’t using him at the moment

    Was thinking the same

    Looks exactly the same Omeonga that we had before busy nicks balls off opposition players but offers little in the final third

    Sure he provided a cross for a headed goal a few games back though?

    Still early days and a lot of football still to be played

    I've every faith in Omeonga, but I agree with you.

    The couple of times I've seen him recently I've thought he's not done much.

    I can understand why he wasn't considered to have done enough to change a winning a team.
    Mon the Hibs.

    You must be watching a different game from me, Omeonga has been excellent and possibly the best midfielder in all the games he has played. We can’t have every player being a creative player and nobody doing the dirty work. FWIW I think Scott Allan has been really poor for several games now and I’d prefer him on the bench to Omeonga. Opinions though.

    He’s done more in a couple of games to show he’s a better option than Slivka.

    United we stand here....

    Not seen today but agree. Nippy sweety so he is. Baffledest of the baffled that Slivka got to start again after being so obviously p155 poor (again) v Killie.

    Ross was right to stick with the winning team but Omeonga needs to come in for the next game.

    Maybe Jack Ross does not rate Omeonga?

    Omeonga isn’t the the kind of player that’s meant to offer much in the final 3rd IMO, that’s why we have Scott Allan. His attributes are his energy, and ability to nick the ball. McGeouch never offered anything in the final 3rd but was excellent for us. Not all midfielders should be judged on the final 3rd IMO.

    Maybe but it would be nice if he could chip in

    Provided an assist a few weeks back ( Doidge equaliser versus St Mirren) and remember him driving us forward on many occasions during his last spell

    I remember one in particular when he “fouled “ The Rangers player outside our box drove up the the park with the ball and we scored as a direct result with Slippy G throwing his toys out the pram

    I also remember Dylan scoring a cracking goal in the semi versus Aberdeen injuring himself in the celebration

    Maybes Omeonga will come back thinking to himself he now needs to make himself undroppable by making a more positive contribution

    I get he is not fully match fit

    He does have a pass in him too...remember his ball for McNulty winner up in Perth last season ? Outstanding ....

    I think Jack Ross choosing to put 2 young players on at a time when the game was at a critical stage shows he has confidence in these players to be first team regulars
    it also dispels the myth that he is a cautious manager

    I read yesterday that there is a 6ft 2in Estonian international defensive midfielder training with Hibs at the moment. Maybe JR thinks he will have another option available to him!

    I didn't see the need to change a winning team tbh. If Omeonga wants a starting place he'll need to force his way in to the team like he did very well the last time. He may end up getting his chance on Friday

    Slivka is pish. Always has been.


    He's powderpuff and fairly rarely puts his stamp on a game.

    The "problem" with Omeonga is that we have to keep referring to that pass because he doesn't normally do anything like that. But it's not really a problem because that's not his role in the team.

    Agreed.

    I'm warming to the 3-4-1-2 because McGinn and Hanlon can act as fullbacks to give us extra width when required. For that to work properly though we need a better defender than Slivka in midfield as cover, which means Omeonga who also improves our attacking options by allowing Docherty to play further forward.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    Nonsense. He is far from pish. Many good games for Hibs. Definitely more than bad. Might not be a starter long term but to call him pish is ridiculous.

    Almost agreed.

    Calling Slivka "pish" is as much an exaggeration as saying he has had "many" good games for Hibs, He's had a few, but definitely more anonymous than good.

    I'm not bothered that he'll be moving on in the summer when his contract finishes.

    Slivka plays as he will hold his position. And he did that well. Defensively he did very well. Unfortunately his passing was brutal once he got the ball.

    I don’t think Slivka is pish

    A neat tidy player with obvious ability and athleticism

    Just maybe lacks the physicality required in the Scottish game and does not impose himself often enough or stamps his authority on games

    Had more than enough chances would not be too fussed if he is moved on

    He has had many good games, though. Best player for weeks as Lennon was falling to bits, played most of Hecky's good run, played a good bit recently as Ross has got us going. Tremendous last time we beat Celtic at home.

    Do we need Omeonga at home to Caley Thistle when we should be dominating possession? Not so sure. Against Hearts and away to Aberdeen, when we need to win the ball back and break up play, yes. Horses for courses.
