Tony Hibbert

[goodrep]

See mate when Connolly has played more for the team than hibbert this season then it raises concerns for me.

More so he is getting older every year and plays like one or teo games only. Has he even played this season?!

You can't expect a 43 year old right back to be good enough every time you ask him to play if its once a year.

The more i think about it, the more i fear the thought he is actually considering playing hibbert this week.

Hibbert to slated for this cup final performance... and he was poor. However, I said at the time though, that 80% of the pitch was in shade, other 20% that wasn't, was our half, right hand side. Hibbert was constantly in the sun. I was roasting that day. Malouda (i think it was him) played inside left to avoid the sun, and he is of African descent. Hibbert, aka Vladimir Putin, couldn't cope and was treated for sun stroke at HT if I recall.

If he is fit, I would play him. Would prefer him to Connolly or Kenny, who might have their careers set-back 3 years by a derby humiliation. And Stones is definitely NOT an option. Remember the 4-0, he was horrendous at RB.

i have always been a fan of Hibbert as far as tackling goes but do not feel he is the right man for this game. If we talk about lack of match fitness for other players, how can Hibbert be match fit?

Lets hope we've all seen the back of this absolute clown.

Did I say that out loud?

thats what i mean, i think last season he came in and did a job for the team, but his first game back he was terrible (swansea league cup if i recall), do you really want to put any in form team against him when he spends more time sat on his backside fishing than he does on a football pitch?

i agree his performance at swansea was the worst ive seen from a footballer i would of retired then as much as i love him there is not a chance in the world he should play must have better youth rather throw one of them in

 

[madden95]

i could be completely wrong but connor grant was saying that mattoini is world class and is premier league level he's fit maybe a better alternative hibbert has to be last resort

Boooooo!

Club stalwart mate. Should never have been given a new contract but play nice.

Hope he gets subbed on for 12 seconds in last game of season

Got no beef with hibbo, hes sound unlike that kopite grass Leon. Should be nowhere near the squad though

Hope he comes on in the last minutes of the cup final and scores a screamer to win it.
I've always liked hibbert. Rooting for the underdog

Point taken, ah I dont know. Can I put my mortgage on those animals to win, we have ZERO chance here

 

[TheFinnFan]

Imagine if he would score a winner

Has this been confirmed?

Id call a draw if i had to, we won't go there to win and a point moves us 4 games unbeaten which can be called form by the manager despite the obvious problem with that.

I have seen much better form teams go there and lose, so personally seeing this out of sorts team go and come away with a point spares our blushes and at least allows us to half believe that we are unbeatable ahead of the semi final.

Hibbert playing would not suprise me one bit, but i hope that we play more squad players ahead of the derby, pienaar/osman/kone/gibson/hibbert/oviedo/howard for example would not make me sad to see, especially if the players marked for saturday are nowhere near anfield at the same time.
