[FT] Hibernian 1 - 2 Rangers (Windass 42; Morelos 45)


Recommended Posts

That's an incredible end to a first half where we were absolutely appalling.

 

Our shape was poor, we were awful down the right hand side especially and couldn't string two passes together. Indeed, if it wasn't for Wes, we would have been 2 or 3 nil down despite Hibs being equally wasteful at times.

 

In saying that we should have had a penalty early on and Morelos missed another sitter before making up for it in injury time.

 

Like I said earlier, this was always going to be an open game played at pace and there are plenty more goals left in this. We can only hope we tighten up (Alves and John especially) and keep ten men on the park as the ref will be bursting to send off McCrorie. The lad has to keep his discipline this half and learn to stand off now and again.

At 1-0 Hisb were simply soaking up any attacks and trying kick-and-rush ... with some luck. We only got into it roundabout 30 mins into it, but if we start to play football up front, we can hurt them. Windass with another after hitting row z seconds before, and Morelos with a typical greedish striker's powerdrive, a young and instinctive striker's powerdrive. Take that Hibs!

 

IMHO, Barjonas works hard, but still I'd like more precision. Hibs will sure open up now and Kranjcar and our strikers might put them to the sword.

 

Wonder at which point the refs notes the various tactcial fouls commited by the men in green. McCrorie needs to watch himself now ...

 

PS: Laola's having the English commnetary tonight ... and you have my comiserations for having to suffer their dross on a weekly basis. What rubbish ...

Poor performance that half, very strong finish all the same!, now come on Rangers get a grip of this match, they are poor!, this ref is my biggest worry!

 

We've not been very good thats for sure but its partly good Hibs play, credit where its due lads, and poor ball retention on our part. Hibs have controlled that game up until the last couple of minutes of the half. Our midfield have been no where near the game.

Terrible commentary on sky tonight. According to the match stats possession is 52% to them, with us having double the shots.

 

By the sound of things you would think Hibs were playing Barcelona like football.

 

Hubz are hubz, nothing special aside from the kicking and heavy tackling. We were simply woeful and surely we can't come out for the second half and play that poorly again after getting back into this. It's hubz who have to chase it now.
