Tony Hibbert

[Woolly Blue]

Solid tonight. He's no Coleman going forward, but it looks like Martinez knew what he was doing when he gave Hibbert a new contract.

No longer panic when players run at him, which is nice (and understates how competent he is, to be fair).

Disappoined he decided to pause his watch and faff about in our half when he had a clear run on goal towards the end though. The whole game just seemed to stop, confused that the space was there and he wasn't running into it.

Real good tonight was Tony Hibbert

 

[Toffe3m4n]

He's doing alright really, isn't he?

He's nowhere near Coleman's level, but whenever he's come in this season he's been sound.

Spot on performance and pretty much the same as every performance except his first against Swansea away in the CC. Exactly the type of player you need to fill a squad with a lot of games to play.

Vastly improved under Martinez - top performance tonight

.....have to agree. I was critical of the contract extension. He's not a RM type of player but he's providing adequate cover as the No2 No2. I suspect RM has an eye on youngsters coming through and didn't want to invest in a RB when he knows we'll be ok in 18 months or so.

 

[ToffeeMark]

If he'd had his career under Martinez he would have had scored a few by now

 

[SteRobbo84]

Thought he was his solid if unspectacular self last night. Origi got no joy from him despite his height and pace advantages and when he swapped wings the other lad didn't fare any better.

He didnt just have Origi in his pocket, Tony's carp had him in his (if carp had pockets!)

 

[roydo]

We are utterly spoiled having Coleman, so comparing anyone covering for him is tough. But Hibbo has been sound this season, by and large, and that is the first requirement of a full back.

 

[The Cowboy]

He made a great run in the first half and could've been put through by Lukaku, shame he didn't.

 

[Fresh Prince of Belle Val]

His passing was actually clever and calmly done.
