Tony Hibbert

Well out of position struggled more in the 2nd half always looks better in the centre of the defence useless as a full back now!

To be even more honest he's been about a million times better this season than I ever expected him to be.

Mind you he's played a shed load more than I expected too.

Can see why roberto mightn't wanted to give garbutt a game today, wouldve been a strong task on your debut to deal with all that. Thought hibbo struggle at times when the pace went at him, but he also had noone covering, was a none entity going forward. Hopefully wont see it to often, but he was steady enough for us to get through it

Martinez has improved him beyond all recognition

Hibbert on the left ffs... Momentous

Done really well today. Defended solidly and kept it simple as possible on the ball.

To those saying he offered nothing going forward - what did you expect?

Superhans1878 · November 22, 2014

I love him me, scenes if his shot would have went in

Let him take a penalty kick someday. He deserves a goal to his name.

Eric Djemba-Djemba · November 22, 2014

He did ok defensively. He was embarrassing on the ball though.

DanEFC92 · November 22, 2014

Did alright today. Fair play Hibbooo

That Putin lad did some good work at the back today.

Yes he cleared the knock downs well when the ball got pumped in to the middle for us, Distan never won a header v carroll but hibbo was on hand to read those situations well - never a left back and only just a right back though!

Actually, he's surprised me this season under Martinez.

He's never going to bomb on like Coleman and Baines, but he played quite a few decent 20 / 25 yard passes to feet today, which isn't something I've seen him do before this season. He's a better player than most of us give him credit for.
