ranger_syntax 4,422 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I cant believe I am hoping Lennon pulls off a win tomorrow. The best result, for us, tomorrow is a nil-nil draw. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Murty talked about the Aberdeen performances being a new benchmark and the players needing to keep at that level, play at a high tempo etc. He repeated it in his pre-match interview but the players forgot about it when the whistle blew to start the game. My impression is that Murty won't make much difference when it comes to getting players up for the game. He'll give them some decent traing sessions, etc but whilst some of the players may like him, not many will respect/fear him. He got us up for Hearts, Aberdeen twice and did well today after we fell behind. He changed the shape of the team at half-time and then later again. What happened to the most important thing is winning thing. I am not saying he is the man for the job and I am totally undecided on him. Lets try and be objective as there will be plenty time to be critical of him if we lose. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinker 887 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 At halftime my expectations of getting anything out of that game were absolutely zero, so I actually feel pretty up-beat at the moment. Got away with an all-too-familiar sloppy showing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather Celtic lost the three points. 1) That shit about being unbeaten will be finished 2) Hibs will lose to other teams. Celtic may not 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,823 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Pass marks is 3 points and over the line, much needed. Have to admit to falling asleep during this and other games but woke up at the winner (Im getting old and I am 8 hours ahead). But as I posted earlier we could be entering a title race from nowhere and I cant believe I am hoping Lennon pulls off a win tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 919 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The best result, for us, tomorrow is a nil-nil draw. How do you work that out? Best result is nobody turns up! But a Hibs win gives a nicer outlook on the table. We will pull away from them. Well done Murty today BTW. I think he gets more respect than the last 2 managers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic may not It's a fair point about the unbeaten run. I would still prefer nil-nil draws for other teams in the league. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will pull away from them. I would rather each team had 1 point than one team had 3 points. Having been wide awake for all our matches this season I'm not taking anything for granted. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,299 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The best result, for us, tomorrow is a nil-nil draw. I agree. A few serious injuries and both sets of fans hospitalising each other wouldn't go amiss either. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbr 1,266 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 We simply cannot break down teams that sit in with 2 banks of 4 or 5 , we have no craft from midfield and no runners willing to get past the forward , it would help if Miller was dropped from midfield and we played with a 2 up top . We need to press with a far greater intensity than we are currently doing , its ok doing it against Aberdeen , they set the standard but keep dropping it against lower teams. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
