Dexys Midnight Runners - There, There My Dear

I don't think you need to be built like a brick shithoose for the role, you just have to be good at it. In my opinion, Dante seems to struggle with the pace of the game in that role. I like the loon a lot, but I don't think he is suited to the fast pace of the Scottish game.

Thought Hibs looked pretty shakey at the back on Saturday and they will give up chances. Trick will be getting our strikers to take them. Would be tempted to go to back 4 to try and rest Devlin and also maybe allow us to get another striker on the field. If we are sticking with one striker I would stick with Nisbet as don’t think the constant chopping and changing of starting striker is helping either find any form. In Flat then 60 second walk to ground. Away end 60 second walk back to flat 2-2 Nisbet and Aouchiche

We usually shoot ourselves in the foot, by making the same mistakes over and over. It's like Groundhog day watching us. That aside, I still think Hibs are more than beatable and are as Jekyll and Hyde as us.

Today’s 4pm games are final games in Group C Tanzania v Tunisia Uganda v Nigeria Nigeria have already won the group as they have head to head on Tunisia. Tunisia need at least a point to guarantee qualification. Tanzania and Uganda need to win to go through. 7pm games are final games in Group D Benin v Senegal Botswana v DR Congo Senegal, DR Congo and Botswana are already through it is just a question of final table positions.

Personally, I feel more comfy with the ol' McInnes 4-1-3-2 ... To get it out of the way, I thought Polvara had a shit game v Jute ... but, otherwise, I think the guy is class in doing the basics ... linking play etc .. much though I would relish seeing him further forward ... like as a No.10 ... I would be OK with him as a central defensive midfielder. Yeah, I hear ye .... a single def mid needs tae be built like a brick shithoose .... but, err, Ryhun Jack did good, aye? A 4-1 rear guard easily transforms to a back 3/5. A No.10 can easily drop back into mid when under pressure, leavin' 2 of three forward mids to backtrack in support ... but when in possession? ... we go 2-1-3-4! .... super dooper (til we fuck up a simple pass and revert to 7-2-1 ) ..... We've lost embarrassingly silly goals as a back 3, back 4 ... whatever .... clean sheets don't win prizes ... goals do! For sure, better coach our defenders ... but ... get some fkn balls in the net! A 4-1-3-2, with quick transition, will produce goals most games .. maybe even enough!

Yeah I think with Tobers injured, and Dorrington not being used, we should be evolving away from thee at the back. Devlin is okay at RCB, but he's not a natural centre half. He should be switching with Lobban at right back (who we have to be careful not to run into the ground). Our two centre mids are always too deep. Playing a 4-1-4-1, or 4-3-3, means they naturally push further forward.

Hibs are down to the bare bones due to injuries and players away at AFCON, so they can't make many changes from Saturday, and if they do it'll weaken them. We at least have more options. Lobban and Jensen/Gyamfi likely start to give us some fresh legs at wing back. Lazetic probably begins ahead of Nisbet. One of Bilalovic or Kjartansson maybe get a start? Tactically they tore us apart at Pittodrie so I hope we don't make the same mistakes again.

Continuing to cling onto the hope that away from home we get a bit more room in behind and Hibs are knackered after Derby game. Also, my last 3 games Ive been at were Hearts, Livi and Dundee all of which we won and I’m going tomorrow. Where are those straws.

Patience with Jimmy is wearing thin. Our striker or strikers have next to no chance of scoring at Hibs as we simply don't carve out any chances for them. We give them zero service.

Is the correct answer. Hope OBI reflects and returns

I'm wondering if we might change back to a back four soon, which might change my mind on a midfielder requirement. Aouchiche, in my opinion, is now fulfilling the Ramadani role. He covers a shite tonne of ground in a game, and is technically decent, if not brilliant. Not immensely strong in the tackle but doesn't shirk a challenge either. Secondly, I think Kjartansson looks like he might be a player. He reads the game very well, that much is obvious, and he reminds me very much of Jack (rat Hun cunt etc) in that midfield - positionally very good and so doesn't need to fly into challenges, and also covers the fullbacks. I'm thinking a 4-1-4-1, with Aouchiche and Armstrong in front of Kjartansson, who drops in to help the defence when necessary. A striker, then, might be the priority. Plus a fast as fuck wide player. Done. We could also have the back three, of course, in a 3-1-4-1-1, but that feels like too many numbers.

Maybe removed them herself,which seemed odd if so,being subjected to Donsdafts homophobic rants over the road?

Morocco looking a lot better tonight as the brushed aside Zambia 3-0 to win the group. Mali drew 0-0 with Comoros to finish second in the group without winning a game. Comoros and Zambia are out.

I didn't see the offending post so can't comment on it, but why has all OBI's other posts from December been removed? Are we trying to pretend they didn't exist?

Missed first group of games today. Egypt v Angola finished 0-0 and South Africa beat Mozambique 3-2. Egypt and South Africa through but with 2 points Angola not looking likely to get one of best 3rd places. Mozambique are out. In second games it’s just half time and Morocco well on the way to winning group as currently 2-0 up on Zambia. Mali and Comoros currently 0-0.
