Elias Henry Furst Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Given what we seen last Sunday and yesterday, how would you set us up? Hamilton Struna Sowah Avlonitis Hughes Tziolis Kitchen Djoum Walker Johnsen Goncalves I'd ask Walker to play on the left to help Sowah and allow Walker to roam inside. I'd ask Johnsen to play inbetween their centre half and left back and to be the out ball for Struna. Goncalves to play on the shoulder of their centre halfs. He must not drop deep to become involved. He's our most dangerous striker and I want him in and around the box when we attack. I'd encourage our full backs to push forward when possible and to link with Walker and Johnsen. Tziolis can drop back to provide cover. I'd tell Djoum to be the most advanced midfielder and to get beyond Bartley where possible and run at their defence. Finally, I'd explain that every single player has a battle to win v a Hibs player. If that means kicking, scratching or spitting blood then so be it. Do that first and our quality should come through but we need to earn the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs pitch size should suit the way we try and play, Walker and Nicholson wide with Djoum supporting Goncalves through the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statto Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I'd go 4-1-3-2 Hamilton - nobody is doubting his ability at stopping shots, the better pitch should help with his kicking. Struna Avlonitis Hughes Sowah - Solid defence, haven't conceded a goal from open play since the Celtic game. Tziolis - protecting the defence allowing Struna and Sowah to support in the attacks. Djoum Cowie Walker - Good attacking threat with Djoum and Walker, Kitchen in if Cowie isn't fit. Goncalves Johnsen - we should have started with 2 up front in the first game at Tynecastle.

Diego10 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Same personnel as yesterday bar Walker in for Choulay. Goncalves and Walker wide, Djoum in behind Johnsen. The last three games at Easter Road we've started terribly, and they will fly out the traps. Need to not be chasing the game and in the long run our extra quality, including off the bench, will tell.

sairyinthat Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 sit on their back line and shell it long,drop and squeal like a pig if brushed against make sure the ref hears and sees you.Break the play up as much as possible and if Cumming wanders forward get on him instantly,in other words play the game the way they did vs us.And ffs convert the penalty's we'll be getting.

Guest Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Team - Jamie Macdonald / Neil Alexander Ruben Palazuelos Hughes Captain Zal Struna Ian Black Tviolis Suso Djoum/ Sir Rudolf Skacel Walker Isma Tactics - Score at least 3 more than them then take the utter pash out of them by passing the ball about barca style and adding goals if need be. Rudi to score a brace. In all seriousness though, similar team to yesterday but starting with Johnsen and Isma up front and moving Kitchen to the bench. Play for the best.

JamboDaz88 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 GK - Hamilton RCB - Nowak CB - Avlonitis LCB - Hughes RWB - Struna LWB - Sowah CM - Kitchen CM - Cowie LAM - Walker RAM - Djoum CF - Goncalves The attacking midfielders are interchangeable with instructions to press the full backs to try and block the passes into central midfield, need them to look to get in between the full back and central defender. Our central midfield is what I'd hope would have energy and I'd want them pressing as a pair. The back three should be able to cope with a sole striker or Cummings & Holt/Graham, I like them all in the air so happy with Hibs launching balls against them. The extra defender makes me more comfortable on counter attacks if they beat the press with long bangers. The wing backs idea is to provide proper width and to stretch the defensive line, hopefully to create gaps for Walker and Djoum to play in. Hopefully the wing backs can get early crosses in behind the defence for Goncalves with Walker/Djoum looking for the second ball to try get shots away. Whatever we play, we need to show aggression and be prepared to fight for every ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Turn Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 We have to play with two strikers. 4-1-3-2 Hamilton Struna Avlonitis Hughes Sowah Tziolis Kitchen Djoum Walker Isma Johnsen Can become a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 with Goncalves moving too the right and Walker going wide left if we want to stretch them or exploit any space left by Gray and Stevenson going forward. I just don't want Isma isolated up front on his own with Bartley in front of him blocking any passes into him. Playing alongside Johnsen will leave him free to find space with Johnsen still occupying the Hibs CB' s. Bigger, wider pitch, Hibs will have to come out and play, we should try and control the game patiently and make Hibs Chase it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paulo Sergio Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hamilton Struna Avlonitis Hughes Sowah Tziolis Choulay Djoum Walker Goncalves Johnson Play very direct and don't allow Hibs to get out their own half. Imagine the first half against Thistle in Cathro's first game in charge. No sideways passing. Be brave any player not going in hard and making it difficult for Hibs should be fined a weeks wages. Since I started watching Derbys we were always the team putting in more effort but unfortunately that's changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauld Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 _______________Hamilton Struna___Avlonitis___Hughes___Sowah ________________Kitchen ______Cowie_____Djoum_____Walker _________Johnson____Goncalves Tactics without the ball. Backline and Kitchen press hard in their own half but remain slightly deeper than normal because hibs will use the long ball over the top. Front line to press high in the opposition half and chase down the players trying to play those long balls not giving them time to pick the passes. Tactics with the ball. Keep possession with quick pass and move. Alternate between short, medium and long balls to avoid being predictable. Keep the ball wide in midfield away from Bartley who will break attacks down in the middle. Have Djoum exploit any space between defence and midfield. Keep Johnson high up to win headers knocking it down for Walker and Goncalves. Get the ball into the box as much as possible to put their centre halfs under pressure. Preferably low crosses, their centre halfs can be useful with high balls but panic when it's low between defence and keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudiHMFC Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I don't want to see Cowie in the team, I'll be very disheartened if he starts on Wednesday. I wouldn't throw Noring into this game either, he should have been phased in before this but seeing as that hasn't happened I'd just stick with Hamilton and prey he doesn't majorly **** up.

Elias Henry Furst Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 The GK and back four pick themselves (some would drop Hamilton but It'd be madness to do so I reckon) Of the remaining 6 players to be picked, and whilst respecting everyone's right to an opinion, Tziolis, Djoum, Walker and Goncalves are 4 'must haves'. I can't believe people are leaving out Walker and Tziolis from their line ups. Good to have the discussion and I suppose it shows the options we have, if nothing else.

Class act for a player but he is slowing everything down at the moment and I am not convinced he will be up for the fight at Easter Rd. Wants to just trot around playing the game at his own tempo.
