Mr. Brightside Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Hibs were absolutely rotten, Villa barely had to try and they coasted to that scoreline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowrising Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) Plenty of teams find themselves out played at some point but Hibs biggest problem is that so many goals were like Groundhog Day - their back line is utterly shite at defending a decent cross ball. Youan is easily the most overrated player in that Hibs 11. Scores a goal now and again but his lack of tactical understanding and decision making is hopeless.

Theyellowbox Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 That performance by Youan must surely be the worst from any player playing for a Scottish side in Europe, ever. How he wasn't hauled at half time and got the full 90 is beyond me. Villa are a very tasty side and will do well this season, but equally hibs at the back are rank and a player down up all game up the pitch. Biggest criticism I can give is that even St Johnstone will score vs that Hibs defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Villa good going forward, but Hibs a mess at the back. Need a Craig Levein 8-2-0 to stop this hitting double figures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mind seeing him give the ball away for the Scotland U21s more than a decade ago. He was there at that 1-5 final. Hibs have signed dozens of players in the past few years yet Hanlon is always there. A complete mystery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Dave from Romford is sadly correct. His Nan could score in the Premier League if she was up against Paul Hanlon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That McGinn chap is a good player though. Does he have a Scottish granny? At the end of the day, when you get out on the pitch, it’s 11 v 11. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sort of Hibs version of our own dear Barrie McKay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complete mystery. Complete failure to build a squad tbh. See also Lewis Stevenson. We should have sourced long term replacements for both at least two years ago. Tbf, we did bring in Cabraja last year who was superb before his family problems ruined him. Still now we've got a guy who will definitely leave in the summer and may leave in January as our first choice RCB. Shouldn't have anyone on loan as a first choice player if you aren't confident he'll be your player at the end of it. Same with our midfield, we've got all the different types of third men for the midfield but Newall is the only good all round central midfielder we have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye Youan is shite when we're shite and he gets frustrated but he's obviously both an excellent player and produces the numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
