If you haven't seen us attacking with pace, turning defence into attack at pace, winning the ball back with pace; then try facing the pitch next time. The issue as I said, is midfield and attack linking. two players of quality will solve that. The football on show is flawed for sure but miles better AND FASTER than the coma inducing Maloneyball of last season. We won the other 3 games in the group though didn’t we? Topped the group and were seeded for the next round. I think other than Ewan Henderson and possibly Cadden, not one player has looked direct and moved the ball quickly or carried us up the park, I have absolutely 0 idea where you’re getting that from, or you’re obviously pleased with losing to League 1 and Championship sides. We need far more than 2 players of quality to change that. Obviously Youan hasn’t played yet but other than that; McGeady is finished, Tavares just looks like Jasper but even weaker, Doyle-Hayes, Newell and Campbell are Championship level players, Doidge has been ruined by his injury. The only midfielder that’s good enough (and fit enough) is Ewan Henderson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were bad last season and somehow look worse now. It's pre-season. Motherwell lost 2-0 at Airdrie in the group stage last season and ended up finishing 5th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness that was more of a reflection on the rest of the league because Motherwell were indeed utter crap last season. They also still made it out of their group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell lost 2-0 at Airdrie in the group stage last season and ended up finishing 5th. Motherwell lost their first game with effectively a completely new side then won the group. Hibs have [probably] gone out the tournament to 4 terrible teams while still looking heavily reliant on guys who failed badly last season. I wouldn't be writing off their season cause there's still guys to come in, but they're unknown quantities so who knows how good the likes of Youan are. But as a unit they aren't firing in attack, don't look better defensively and the midfield is patently not good enough. That's why folk are worried 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell lost 2-0 at Airdrie in the group stage last season and ended up finishing 5th. They did. But they also won their group with 9 points. That was one bad result in isolation. Hibs have lost to a League 1 side and drawn at home to a Championship side. ETA: Just saw the other responses. Anyone else want to make the same point?

I'm not sure how the penny hasn't dropped yet that this is very similar to Hearts under Romanov. Just without the really good players at the start and winning trophies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syme Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Anyone have a link to August '97 threads? About 3 or 4 games in. Jim Duffy. Good young manager. Getting a tune out of Chic Charnley. Great signing. Passports at the ready. How about a link to August '98 threads? About 3 or 4 games in. Lucky injury time winners. Stranraer? At home!! Get Eck tae feck. And that fat unfit finished Finn. I suppose drama queen is traditionally an amusing role. Chill the f**k out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
