What has happened to that exciting attacking Man U we all got used to under Fergie, it's mostly boring sideways football, I have it on but I'm busy doing other stuff instead.

Sadly I find that to be the case with most modern football at the top level. I watched a but of the Villa West Ham game and late on in the game Villa had a break on, the ball was fed out to the right back who's had probably 20 or so yards to run into and take on his opposing number. His first thought was to stop and play it back the way. I find myself watching less and less football now. It really is only Hibs that gets me interested anymore

Players are set up for life, they don't have to care anymore. Their minds will be on what they're going to squander their next million on when they get home.

And yet I watched Bournemouth the last 2-3 games and they've been outstanding especially their work rate and and their attacking.

Nah, he tried playing a system that the players couldn't play and stuck to his guns come what may.

Notice how Gray started with a 4231 but has changed to 3412 because it suits the players better, he's learning as he coaches.

Did we not play a good chunk of the season under the much heralded, answer to all our problems, 433/4231 and were still woeful last season? About as poor as when we tried it this season. We stumbled upon 352, but haven’t looked back since.

I hate to say it but I think he stumbled upon the three at the back by accident rather than design. A lot of folk on here were crying out for three at the back fir a while before it happened. O’Hora played right of a three at his previous club. No surprise he’s looked better playing in this formation than earlier in the season.

Clemente comes across as a total arse, refuses to accept that his team ever do anything wrong

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has suggested he'd rather give a place on the bench to his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach instead of Marcus Rashford because of a perceived lack of effort.

Postecoglu must be on the verge of the sack if they loose today, what happened to managers who change their way of playing to suit the players they have?

Him at Man U too, they want to play a certain way, but concede they dont have the players for that system, yet continue to play a way they are not suited?

Is it just me, or is that not just stupid, or stubborn?

It is lunacy. While you may want to play a certain style or way, your job as a professional football manager is to win ****ing games of football!

If your team can't win "your way" then you figure out how to win games until you can move players on and get players in who can. Drives me mad.

We played much of pre-season with a back three then he went with a 4 for the League Cup games. I find that baffling as we got a decent result against a more than decent team with it, then for some reason he ditched it.

Hearts 1st goal - what the hell is he talking about. I can't really be doing with re-reviewing people's foot being offside in the first of four phases of play before a ball, but what ignorant blind utter nonsense.

Burnley v Leeds, dreadful game.

[CmoantheHibs]

Total borefest. Egan Riley had a good game though on the right side of a back 10

[TrumpIsAPeado]

Burnley brutal to watch. But it's an approach that's working quite well for them. Only 9 goals conceded in 29 games. Wouldn't be surprised if they win the Championship, as both Leeds and Sheffield generally take more risks in order to score more goals.

Given he took out a Killie player that is about as obvious an offside as you can get. How was that not given

[blackpoolhibs]

Paddy power giving evens that both teams wont score by 5pm tonight.

Didnt know Jamie Gullan had rejoined Raith, scored tonight and currently 0-3 up v Hamilton Accies

Yeah, it didn't work out at Dundalk.

He's signed for Rovers (the 5th time?) until the end of the season.

They changed mind set after Dyche took them down with Kompany playing a more expansive way but it was too much to survive the Premier league and he didn't have the players to play out from the back against far better teams, we've seen the same with Southampton this season, Parker has obviously came in and been told to make them harder to beat but unfortunately that makes you boring if you play a back 8.

Looking forward to Barcelona v Atalanta tonight, should be a goal fest. 🤞

Same, already some stories filtering through of Celtic fans nit on there best behaviour (although thats not to surprising).

Hopefuly SJM rubs it in on what they missed out on.

Yep, I hope tonight is the night Celtic fans realise just how good McGinn is.

[LunasBoots]

McGinn on the bench, Celtic team doesnt look the best mind you.

[Since90+2]

I'd be surprised if Celtic don't lose by a couple. Maeda, Kyogo and Carter Vickers are 3 of their best players (or were in Kyogo's case) and they don't have the strength in depth at this level to lose players like them and compete IMO.

[hibee_girl]

1-0 Villa already

[Hibs90]

We want 10
