Done really well other than one moment of madness.

A few moments of madness. But he was class other than that. So were Hanlon, McGinn and especially Macey.

I can only remember one. First half where Boyce almost dispossessed him about 30 yards out. Other than that he was brilliant and one of our better players.

He was great and had the same amount of mad moments that Paul Hanlon did.

I’d expect every one of them to have the odd moment of madness in these modern day derby games.

Definitely. Can't argue with that at all. Defenders were phenomenal today. Chuffed for them.

I've never seen a player get so much scrutiny for "almost" making a mistake.

Couldn’t agree more. Clean sheet in a Derby at Tynecastle and there are folk complaining about the defence! Get a grip.

He did make one fairly glaring mistake that he was fortunate came to nothing.

HOWEVER

He was an absolute colossus for the most part.

Agree.

A superb young player, who gives it 100%, never hides and happens to be a Hibby

Boys a serious asset. We should cherish him.

They have Soutar over at Hearts. Half the player (when he’s fit that is) and they think he’s fxxxx Maldini. Crazy fans we have.

[Vault Boy]

Was given plenty of tests today and passed all the important ones with flying colours.

He was often an influential ball player too, some of his forward passes were of the standard expected from midfielders. Easier said than done, particularly at Tynecastle.

[BILLYHIBS]

Did well for his first Derby at Tiny

Two casual errors at the start apart from that passed with flying colours

Immense

Never realised that.

[Diclonius]

Turning into the player we knew he could be.

[Dibben]

Great tackle on Mackay-Steven in the second half as well.

Solid!!

[Pretty Boy]

I thought he played well. As did Hanlon and McGinn. Doig struggled a bit but wa still far from poor.

Porto tripping over the ball then missing the ball when he tried to recover was a heart in mouth moment though. He actually recovered well in the end and that's all that matters.

[Bright_Hibee]

He was one of our stronger players today, just as usual. Had one hiccup, but it wasn't the end of the world. Terrific defender and great vision too!

[Allez Hibs]

Reminded me of Efe Ambrose today.

Pretty composed for the most part but always a few hairy moments.

Largely a myth that about Ambrose in his time here…he did have a few mad moments, but they were few and far between and his pace usually got him out of it . his performances were largely error free….

[allmodcons]

He's a tremendous central defender.

Good in the air, strong in the challenge and superb with the ball at his feet. His passing out of defence is a huge plus point, confident and like any good player, always available and wanting to be on the ball.

Your right, comfortable on the ball, brave in possession and keen to build from the back instead of lumping it

Aye, including the moment of madness 😂

[Baader]

Back five did well today and Woodburn didnt fancy it much against Porto from early on.

[Unseen work]

Almost got caught with Boyce and had one moment in the first half when he was too busy concentrating on GMS rather than clearing the ball.

That’s his only two mistakes of the game.

Brilliant after that both defensively and on the ball. It doesn’t always come
off but he takes responsibility and never hides.

I was actually going to start a thread tonight about our defensive performance. If that was St Johnstone people would be raving about how solid we were and how our back 3 never gave them a sniff.

It’s a little reminder I feel that our back 3 are good and not as easily replaceable as some may think.

Totally agree!

Porto is a fantastic footballer, though like all he does make the odd mistake. However, I've seen enough mistakes at the Euros or in the EPL to know that all players will make them. I feel he's in a good place at the moment, with guys like Hanlon & McGregor to offer support. If he keeps learning, he's going all the way to the top.
