We let Everton back into the game a bit toward the end but still looked dangerous going forward, Bailey been much better today, Digne’s crossing has been very much on point and I’m loving Diaby’s ‘weaker’ foot Hopefully Unai has warned Pau and others not to be sloppy in our third and watch the pace and skill of Danjuma. Otherwise, I’m confident we score next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Great half. Everton are horrific though. Letting us do what we like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 4 minutes ago, The_Steve said: We needed that half after last week. Could easily be 4 up. Pickford shouldn't even be on the pitch for the foul and time wasting. We've otherwise been composed for the most part. We've had some sloppy moments but you've never felt we had any real threat of conceding. Digne has massively exploited the left and Bailey after a shaky start has been pivotal down the other flank. So much good play in the middle from Dougie and McGinn too. I actually think Dougie has been the weakest player on the pitch, despite great penalty. Pickford's foul wasn't card worthy - I have no idea why you're banging on about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Started off lively. Some of our forward play seems a bit too tippy tappy but also some lovely play mixed in there. Atmosphere went down after the 1 minute applause and hasn't really managed to lift itself yet, but that's mirrored by on the pitch pace which has been at a controlled pace. We're playing the tactics issued pretty bang on at the moment and should really have 1 or 2 more goals to show for our play. Hopefully we can slightly increase the tempo which should raise the crowd and maybe grab a couple more to restore our goal difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykeyb Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I would expect we step up the tempo in the first 20 mins of the second half, but the game beyond doubt and rest a couple for wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't imagine that Hibs will do anything other than play at 100mph so important that we go to Burnley next weekend with plenty of energy in the tank.
