I thought Newell looked much more like the player we were seeing last season today. Ross obviously likes him and has persisted in playing him despite his performances not being as good as before.
Let’s hope he kicks on from this mom performance.

He looks amazing against really bad midfields but up against a combative midfield he wilts.

Midfield had much better balance.
Gogic is just a the perfect fit for us, allows Newel to dictate from deep and come forward and Murphy comes inside and looks more effective than Horgan. Boyle continues to get into great positions in attack.
Against a stronger midfield (like Aberdeen) it was no surprise we lacked any influence as up against McCrorie and Ferguson.
We still need another CM.

I didn’t see the game yesterday but sounds like he had a good game. My only caution would be that we’ve been here before and he’s quickly gone back to being ineffective in the next few games. As well as the fact we played one of the poorer teams in the league who it sounds like they sat off us and tried to play football.
Over his whole time I’ve still to be convinced he’s good enough/consistent enough to be a mainstay of the midfield and not an excellent squad player.

Can we not just enjoy what was a very good performance by him yesterday? Far too many appear willing to knock him down or build him up - what next he'll be compared to either a Brian Kerr or a Kaka.
He's shown glimpses of play that would make you think he would perform well in the English Championship, but then at times he looks like he would struggle in the English Conference (or whatever it's called today). I suppose that's why he's at Hibs.
Let's hope he continues his good form from yesterday in the next two games against the Old Firm.

Was that his first competitive goal?

Thought he had a great game. Difference imo with Gogic and Murphy in midfield and 2 forwards to hit. Brilliant finish for second goal.

Better balance and great to have Nisbet back.
He just seems like the sort of player that whenever he gets the ball you feel something good could happen.
Also think Doidge work ethic is outstanding. Tireless for the team.Last edited by Percy Vere; 13-09-2020 at 10:43 AM.

Thought Newell either found or to some extent was given more time and space to play yesterday and took advantage with a good performance.
He's failed to shine against the better sides mostly so hopefully he'll turn up against the hun next week. No room for passengers in that one.

I think gogic is really important for newell, let’s him be more free and express himself more

Interesting that JR is challenging him to be more consistent, because that’s undoubtedly been his big problem IMO. I thought he was very poor in the previous few games, but put in consistent performances like he did yesterday and I’d look to offer him a new deal. Be interesting to see how he does in the next few games because he won’t be afforded the time on the ball he was yesterday.

I think that we all agree that the whole team hasn't been performing that well in a creative sense. Is that Newell's fault, when it's a team game.
It was interesting that last night I watched the highlights of the Hibs 4 - Aberdeen 1 SC Replay from 2007 and thought "we don't have someone like Scott Brown, who takes control of the midfield and drives us forward against the good teams". Let's be honest, we've not had many players like that over the years since.
Then I reflected that Brown was playing alongside Thomson, Stewart and Boozy in midfield. He had Sproule and Fletcher ahead of him and Benji when he came on at half-time. He had Murphy and Whittaker at full back and the reliable central defence of Jones and Hogg. The rest of the team allowed him to play the way he did.
It's a team game. Newell played well when the team was dominant. He's played poorly when the team is playing poorly. If he was reliably able to single-handily drag Hibs from playing poorly to getting a result, he probably won't be at Hibs much longer.

We still need a midfielder who bosses the play and takes the team forward.

I agree it’s a team game and players complement each other, hopefully allowing them to do what they do best. However that’s not to say a player can be excused a poor performance just because those around them are having a bad game. There has been similar chat that McGeouch and Allan only did as well because they had SJM beside them, but McGeouch will always do what McGeouch does regardless of those around them and in Allan’s case something isn’t clicking with him at present, players playing well beside him won’t make much of a difference to that IMO.

He needs to find a bit more consistency in his game, at times he’s looked brilliant and at others he’s been ineffective. He plays in a position that’s pivotal to how we play and if he’s not on it we struggle.
United we stand here....

Pirlo Newell 👌.
Can sometimes look majestic the way he floats around the park,but I’m always conflicted by joe.need to see more games like Livvy and yesterday to say he’s an out and out player.I love the days when he’s pinging passes and whipping crosses.not so much the days when he plays the ball backwards constantly,keeps his stats tidy but doesn’t drive the team forward when we are in the thick of the harder games,we need that and lack that in midfield.
Still a player who I like ,and seems to be growing at hibs.
Hope he stays beyond next summer and kicks on.a lot to play for this season Though , and joe will be key to how much we can achieve I feel.
Seems a top lad as well.

Newell like many others that have been here suffer from inconsistency, if they didn't they'd be nowhere near us. It's all about trying to make them better and more consistent if possible.
