Folk give us the title of a long ball team but other than dive, it's all Hibs do. Devlin has cost us 2 points today. Hibs are a gang. Jet looked better again today until he noticeably tired. Pittman was fairly quiet though.

Evo Stick kicking in now I see...............

The Livi fans need to get with the times. Diving is all part and parcel of the modern game. David Martindale is doing a fine job over there, but he clearly isn't genned up on the latest sports science and hasn't been drilling his players in the essential skills of simulation and referee perception management. Martindale should use the summer to go to Heriot Watt and get a couple of courses in adversarial sports psychology under his belt and maybe next season, Livingston, too, could be assured of European football before the league split.

Meh, first half was honking, second half was really good. Livi fans probably will say the opposite so it’s probably a fair result but we probably should have scored while we were on top.

With Aberdeen getting beat it’s a result I’m pretty content with.

Someone get a Hibs in Europe 2021/22 thread started.

Doig’s one should have been a pen tho imo, was an assault, not a tackle.

Exactly this. We certainly created a good few chances first half then inexplicably ended up gifting Hibs a goal to go in 1-1 at the break, as opposed to 2-0.

Pleasantly surprised how well JET and Longridge, in particular, played. Although JET should've easily been hooked a good 20-25 minutes before he did.

Sibbald MOTM from me, always feel he is wasted somewhat in that pseudo-wide role but it's a measure of how good a player he is that he still looked very good out there (and indeed has done for most of the season).

Another point gained on Aberdeen, let's see how the split goes...

Livi  better team first half, Hibs much better second.
Livi  midfield disappeared second half, Holt and Bartley done their usual  sitting too deep... Jet should have been subbed at half time.
Martindale should've had subs on quicker for for some tiring  players 
Jet,Bartley,Holt,Pittman,1 forward up top that could barely run in the second half, will never get you near Aberdeen

As I've said before 4-2-3-1 is bad enough, but with these players you end up with a team of defenders, and little chances created. .Holt and Bartley's
positions are a problem that's needing looked into

McCrorie  5/10  Nothing much to do

Devlin    5/10  Bad mistake for goal, not much attacking wing play

Fitzwater  4/10  Looked uneasy with Hibs attacks, and low balls into the box 

Guthrie    4/10  Also looked uneasy, with low balls into the box.

Longridge  6/10  Played well first half, good on the ball, can get forward.

Bartley    4/10  No finesse on the ball, constant fouling.

Holt       4/10  Got on the ball, back passing, side passing, gets you nowhere, poor second half

Sibbald    8/10  Excellent first half, faded after 70 min, best player today.

Pittman    6/10  Tried all game, not at his best, faded second half.

Forrest    6/10  More lively today, better ball control

Jet        2/10  Some good knock on's ,not up with play with all the crosses in first half.  Second half couldn't run, played at walking pace. Is Martindale blind?

Lawson     Not on long enough ,done very little.

Serrano    5/10  Average

Think it was Pittman than needed subbed for Poplatnik, and with about 20 mins still to go, Jet was doing fine, but Pitts was quiet and not doing enough for me. Maybe replaced Jet around the 80th min with Tiffoney for an injection of pace, having had Poplatnik the time to get up to speed in the game by then too.

Can see why Lawson was stuck on for Forrest (another who didn't look at his best), so as not to throw off the balance of the team, but Mullin would've given us more of a threat to win the game, thought Devlin was playing it safe and not driving at the Hibs defenders like he did against Accies, and Mullin would've taken on that role. 

 

On balance of the full game a draw was fair, felt we'd bossed the first half to be 2-0 up though, and that would've been too much for Hibs to get anything, didn't deserve their equaliser. As i said though, 2nd half Hibs were better and did enough to merit the draw.

 

Forgot to add, Sibbald was fantastic, Jet and Holt looked good too. And cracking clearance by Raffa (Longridge) just before he got subbed.

Amazing we got a draw going on this pile of pish assessment. Just bossed the 3rd best team in the league first half and could easily have had the game sewn up by HT, yet you hand out compliments like water in a drought. Holt was one of our best players yesterday, but you seem to have a stick up your arse about our 2 holding mids, and always have a dig at them.

 

Usually ignore your posts, prob should've done so again.

Scrutinizer regularly talks shite anyway. May as well just log off this site and never return with their shitey Americanised spelling. 

Not even convinced it's a Livi fan. I'm negative a lot of the time but it's a whole new level when someone is moaning more than me ffs :D
