Mixu - HibeesBounce.com

Menton · 10-03-08, 12:16

I said before the appointment that I didn't think he was the man for the job. I got a lot of stick for it (clown, yam that sort of stuff).

I'm sure that there must be more people with me now?

He's not the worst but he's definitely not the best.

NO NO NO NO NO

He is doing a fine job so far, and he has only just started to re-build the side. Very confident he will make Hibs a decent side in the years to come.

I'm thick skinned thankfully.

His changes yesterday were somewhat dubious no?

No I wasn't.

I also think you know what I'm saying.

Jeez it's not my fault we lost.

And before I get more comments - I know it wasn't all Mixu's as well - the players should have shown more fight.

kirklistonhibee · 10-03-08, 12:45

His subs r a bit questionable but hes the best man 4 the job

look at the state of the team he was left with when collins walked!

**Vini1875** · 10-03-08, 12:57

Part of the problem for Mixu compared to TM and JC is that he has a much weaker squad. His subs can be a wee bit odd to me but then I'm an electrician not a football manager and I'd be pissed off if Mixu was leaning over my shoulder telling to stick this wire here and that one there.

We need to strengthen the squad considerably in the summer in order to really see the best of Mixu. However so far given the weakness of the squad I think he is doing a very good job. We were sinking into the relgation zone and now a few short months later we might make Europe. He has brought in players who have been a very godd addition to the squad. He has all the young guys who are on the fringe of the squad out on loan and getting some good experience, which will hopefully provide for the next generation of youngsters with the ability to step up ready for the experience.

Getting knocked out of the cup by a crap hun side is sickening, but to be honest I never really thought we had the players to lift the cup this year. I only wish he had nutted that pr*ck smith.

We'll see if Mixu can lift the players enough to beat Motherwell and I have faith that he can and will. I'm backing Mixu.

I think the weakness of your arguement is fully revealed by the lack of evidence you present for your point..

Thus far Mixu has done a very good job. A win on Wednesday and our season will go right down to the wire. It wasn't looking that good before he was appointed.

**Broxburn_Hibby** · 10-03-08, 13:04

Right im just up (Hangover is given), but with regards to the first post...

Get a grip man,

Yesterday i thought we were fairly comfortable against a 'flying' Rangers side.We controlled the middle of the park and i personally believe that if Mixu had a wee bit more courage with reagrds to team selection and tactics we'd have won the game.

Now Mixu had crucial decisions to make before the game and during.Before the game he had to decide if we were going to go there and attack at will or sit and try frustrate them.He chose the latter by playing 5 accross the middle of the park, fair enough if you ask me but whilst playing that system it was important for us to strike the first blow, unfortunately Ian Murray gets injured and they score in the 10 minutes hes off the park.At half time, i felt we needed to go 4-4-2 in order to get something out the game, instead Mixu chose to be more Conservative and again hope that our wide players could conjure up something.As for his subs, not got a problem with them as it suited the shape we were playing.

Now overall assessment of the game, they were pish and as soon as they scored they were quite happy to sit and defend.Hibs weren't brilliant but at no point during the game did i feel threatened by Rangers...We play them in the League at Greyskull in a couple of weeks and based on what i saw yesterday there is no reason why we can't go and be more attack minded and im sure Mixu will have realised this.

Its unfortunate that we're out but to have a go at Mixu for tactics and subs is ridiculous, the man is doing a great job and the only mistake he made yesterday was being too cautious...better being like that than going gung-ho and being on the end of a hammering surely?

Heads up Hibbies and Roll on Wednesday

Don't really understand what you are basing this on. We have lost games to Hearts, Celtic and Rangers so far, all dissapointing results I agree. Perhaps I wouldn't have started with O'Brien or taken off Shiels first but these are relatively minnor grievances.

Overall surely you'd agree there has been a vast improvement since Mixu was appointed? We were on something like a 13 match winless streak; under Mixu we won 4 games on the trot and we've gone from 8th to 5th. Also Murray, Rankin, Canning and Nish have all made very positive contributions so far which is surely positive evidence of Mixu's ability to improve the squad given funds (jury is still out on Zarabi though). Players like Maka and Jones seem far more confident and assured since Mixu came in. The spirit and work-ethic among the team is also visibly improved.

It's not perfect and I agree that the squad is fairly poor and needs some changes but, for me at least, so far the evidence of Mixu is all pretty positive.

Out of interest who would be your 'man for the job' in the list of candidates there were at the time if not Mixu?

John Hughes - more tactically aware in my opinion.

And that's what it is - an opinion.

Fair enough, John Hughes was certainly one of the other major candidates and, who knows, could have instantly become the best manager ever.

Give Mixu a bit of time and, if things start to go pear shaped, then come back and fair enough you will have been right from the start. It just seems a little premature to write him off already, especially considering the obvious improvement so far.

Mon the hibees, lets get another 2 homes wins this week.

OK.

Barcelona 1 v 2 Villareal (last night)

Frank Rijkaard or Manuel Pellegrini?

But I'm not.

You based disregarding Hughes on us beating his team the other week.

So, Redknapp or Ferguson (based on one FA Cup tie?)
