2023-24 season non-Hibs games thread

[Donegal Hibby]

Portsmouth v Bolton skysports 8:00 .
Been looking forward to this one all weekend . 1st against 2nd , both teams have scored over 30 goals each . On paper should be a good game .

Livingston now gone six straight defeats without scoring, equals that run by Aberdeen in 1999

It's got 0-0 written all over it then , I do fancy a draw though, as you say it should be a good game.

Fancy a 2-2 draw which will keep both of us happy . I get to see a few goals and you make a few quid 🤞

[Donegal Hibby]

Good game . Bolton had a great chance to score before Pompey . Think there's more goals in this one yet .

Hopefully this will be the last time we ever see them in the top flight.

Haha. Currently bottom of a group they should have breezed through from 😅

How is Ten Haag still in a job?

I don't think they are good enough to have breezed through it, but they certainly shouldn't be finishing bottom that is for sure.

They are so pathetic.

To be knocked out of Europe, bottom of that group with only (as it stands) 4 points, after the money they've spent is a monumental failure. Absolutely embarrassing for them

Nonsense. Not finishing at least 2nd in this group is a sackable offence for Man u.

They are in the same old spiral that happens to a lot of clubs - Ralf Rangnik said they were 6 years behind Liverpool so sacking Ten Haag will simply mean someone else starting over. They don't have the cash to buy enough quality to seriously compete with City, Liverpool and Arsenal so nothing is going to change any time soon regardless of who is in charge.

I don't think you understood my post if you think it's nonsense.

I never said they shouldn't qualify, but "breezing through" as you put it would suggest they should be qualifying at a canter.

Anyone who has watched them recently can see they are nowhere near good enough to breeze through any Champions League group.

They absolutely have the cash. Their problem is they have no idea what they're doing when it comes to spending it.

I’m with you. In their current state not many would have thought they’d breeze through the group but they still should have finished 2nd. Sad indictment of where they are at just now.

The players they have brought in are simply not good enough. I don’t think sacking ETH will change anything so in my mind he should get at least until end of the season but that could be a stretch.

No they don't, it was reported in October that their debt stands at 1 billion which is eye watering. Take a look at their team and figure out what it would take to buy enough quality to match the big boys. Ten Haag has been quoted before talking about not being able to spend vast fortunes.

What MU should have done was sign SJM a couple of seasons ago. I really think someone with his attitude would have had a huge impact on that squad. They’ve instead signed dud after dud.

[Pagan Hibernia]

They'll get mauled at anfield again and that will likely be that for the dutchman

Funnily enough was just looking at that Rasmus Hojlund makes The Hoff look like Marco Van Basten 0 goals from 19 with Copenhagen sold for €2m to Sturm Graz 9 goals from 18 sold for €20m to Atalanta scored 9 from 32 sold to Man Utd for €75m 0 goals from 12 appearances
Fewest touches first half tonight no shots on target but give the boy the benefit of the doubt he is only 20
Nice work if you can get it

Edit :

He has scored 5 in Europe this season

Fernandes on a good day and McTominay might get a game for City, I doubt Pep would take any of the others as a free gift.

Who would McTominay be getting a game ahead of at City? He's done well but he'd not be starting for City even at his peak IMO.

[Donegal Hibby]

I wonder how long Utd are going to stick with ten Hag ? A few Utd supporters I know don't actually blame him though hasn't he spent rather a lot since becoming there manager?

Never said he would replace anyone. There's no logic to this "best team" or "starting 11" thing, there isn't a team in the world who play the same 11 every week, injuries, suspensions, loss of form and tactical tweaking make sure of that.

Also add in the ridiculous wages handed out to players like Rashford etc, the money wasted on that squad is frightening.

Not sure fernandes gets near the city squad, he’s got talent but he’s lazy and petulant, which Pep wouldn’t stand for at all

Some of the money they’ve spent on transfers (80+million for Anthony, who’s not looked worth a tenth of that), and the insane wages


I’m sure I read last summer that Real Madrid were moving on from Casemiro as a regular first team player, and were happy to sell, but not feeling rushed. Nothing much happened, then all of a sudden, Man Utd gave up on trying to get de Jong from Barcelona, and flung 60odd million at Madrid to get Casemiro. Madrid must have been laughing all the way to the bank

[Pagan Hibernia]

Donegal Hibby mutually consented?

What on earth for?

[A Hi-Bee]

Ten Haag, be lucky if its Ten Days.
Could not happen to a better team.
