Tony Hibbert

[4737carlin]

Who was picking up Falcao for the second goal?

 

[teppic]

Hibbert would have popcorned our entire support if he scored today.

 

[Khalekan]

Wasn't disgraced today either. It must really stick in the craw of more than a few.
Well done Tony, appreciate your efforts when our backs are to the wall.

Hear, hear......

 

[Khalekan]

I agree... But that is slightly different to saying he was at fault for the goal.... Partly to blame perhaps... But good observation nonetheless.... We defo need Coleman back, if not Browning should be starting...

I think there is a case to be made for starting Browning against Villa (even at this early stage I am not hopeful Seamus will be fit),

But I think Bobby did the right thing going with Hibbo's experience in the three games this past week.

hibbert is a waste of space and it worries me that martinez is playing him now.

Thought he did fine again today. Anyone slagging him off has an agenda, there were worse players on the pitch for us today than Hibbert.

yes there were , but it doesnt make him good enough to play , hes fkng dire dont care if he wins the odd tackle.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Was surprised he could still move today given how many minutes he has played with little recovery time after such a long layoff. And to win a penalty running into the box...impressed.

He never was as good as Coleman, even in his prime, but he's been solid the last three games.

 

[daz4matty]

Playrd ok for him but not good enough for the premiership.
The full back position has progressed over the last few years and he is awful going forward

 

[Prevenger17]

I thought he was poor against Liverpool but he was better today. I think the big problem is that he's not a direct replacement for Coleman, whom so much of our attacking threat hinges on. It's not his fault, but the team loses its cutting edge when the opposition doesn't really have to worry about our right wing so much.

It also seems he can't play 90 minutes which is a worry if you are blowing 1 sub on changing a full back

It gives Browning the stepping stones to build belief and experience. Eventually it'll be a full half here and there.

He played 90 in Russia, just not 90 mins three times in 8 days. Not many players can in such a demanding position as full back.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

I don't know what the problem is,Hibbo as a back up whilst Browning is adjusting to being in the squad is fine by me,he's done fine against Sterling and Di Maria in the last two games having not been near the first team for two years,yeah he's no Coleman,but who is?

This is what you are up against, flibby.

It wouldn't matter if he scored a hat trick and cleared four shots off the line, the haters would carry on pushing their agenda with this kind of inane comment.

To do otherwise would mean they had to admit to being wrong and that is a sign of weakness in the Fumer community, you see.

One boy earlier was more concerned about Shaw making a "stupid challenge" than praising Tony for the clever exchange he initiated with Peinaar before surging into the box to win the penno.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.
