Maybe there is but he is up there in changes needing made. Maybe not a goal a game, but it feels like it sometimes.

Single handedly won us a point at Livingston less than a fortnight ago.

All entitled to our opinions but he's nowhere near as bad as u r making out. Like a few u have rocky tinted specs on I think...lets concentrate on the bombsite defence in front of him this season before we start worrying about replacing the keeper...and I included the much praised Porteous in that who has cost us far more points/goals than Macey has this season thats for sure

What games has he been poor in that have cost us and who are the other 6 keepers that are better than him

Gordon
Hart
McGregor
McLaughlin
Lewis
Kelly
Siegrist
Clark.

There's 8 goalkeepers in the league undoubtedly better. We sign Marshall we are top 4.

Dundee Utd second choice is probably better too to be honest. Carson who used to be at Motherwell and is (I think) a Northern Ireland international.

The reason I have Rocky tinted specs on is because he is a very good keeper. Like you said we obviously all have our opinions. But Macey isnt good enough. Dont disagree with you about the defense though.

my bad saved us from an embarrassment. Not mine obviously.

[Tambo]

I agree we could do better than macey but he is the least of the problems at Hibs.

We need to start scoring more goals in games to take the pressure on relying on the defence all the time.

We also need a battling midfield 8 games out of 10 as every player can have an off day or two.

Not long to wait for the transfer window.

Graig Gordon is world class. If he wasn't a Jambo he'd be nowhere near Hearts. There's no way we'd get a keeper of that quality. Macey is probably the best we'll get. No worse than Marciano.

Manuel Neuer is world class, no Craig Gordon.

Hes a very good shotstopper, but world class? No chance. Gordon is about the same level as McGregor and Marciano. A very good spl keeper.

Surely not JOE LEWIS? Maybe 3 years ago. Completely washed up now.

Trust me, a goalie isn't the difference between us being top 4 and not. We won the cup with Conrad Logan ffs. Its the other 10 players who need sorting.

[easty]

He’s not a terrible keeper, but he’s definitely a downgrade from last season, and I definitely think he shares responsibility for our defensive frailties this season.

There’s more to being a keeper than making the occasional great stop. A keeper should have a presence, should command his area, the defence has to have confidence in him. To me, Macey doesn’t have any of those things.

Was going to mention him plus the Livi goalie but didn't want to be too disrespectful to out current No 1.

Thing is Andy, he might, quite possibly in time.

We can't be a work in progress though if we want to be up with the ambitions of the club. Right now you're right and we need better and exactly what you described.

Now you are just talking utter rubbish

Now now, I was quite respectful to your opinion I clearly don't agree with.

Carson is a better goalie though and has been consistent for years. Liam Kelly is much better (we should have went for him) as is the Dundee Utd No1.

Joe Lewis has the lowest shot stopping percentage of any regular keeper in the top flight. Macey is, if I remember correctly, about seventh or eighth.

You can get away with an average shot stopping ratio if the rest of your game is good and Macey has to improve on both just now.

Apart from being a keeper for 10 years you may be correct, i also stated i hadnt even seen gordon on the list. What makes you a goalkeeping expert

Is there any stat sites which shows the stats on him getting beaten at his near post, failing to come for crosses and his horrible passing?

I don’t know what his forms been like this season but I’ve always been impressed with him in the past.

Im not an expert but played goalkeeper also and had numerous fairly well known coaches. If you watch him and cant see the obvious faults, thats on you.

Maceys distribution is horrendous definitely, he is actually good at coming for crosses, wish he would do it a bit more, he done it a few times yesterday with success

Mate. Your own message just pointed out a huge flaw. "wish he would do it a bit more". Yeah, thats a big problem.

So apart from his distribution what are his faults, good shot stopper although it could be said he needs to parry it out a bit wider, handling is pretty good, communication is good

I've never in my life sat there watching any hibs player thinking to myself "I'm unsure of this player but I've never seen stats saying anything against so it's all good".
