The first on on the edge of the box is because he got beat in the first place.
Still a better defender than half of this squad though

Always been a decent enough defender I think. Just not the type of player for a more expansive style.

I never got over his utter ragging at Wembley from chelsea.
Still, having seen Besic play right back and totally out of position there a week ago, i guess Hibbert should have played.
Brave manager to name hibbo last week though like..
Epic fume.

He waits. That’s what he does. Then he shuffles. That’s how he moves. Side-step, side-step, side-step, tracking the bogey, marshalling it, gently manoeuvring it into position. And then he strikes. There is a heavy thump of boot on ball and a roar from the frenzied crowd. Patrice Evra spins through the night sky, landing heavily, the air driven from his lungs on impact. Unruffled and uninterested in the acclaim, Tony Hibbert gets to his feet and shuffles back into position. That’s what he does. He is not a superstar, he is not a brand. He’s just a bloody bloke.
There are certain expectations of a 21st century full-back. They must be auxiliary wingers, scampering up and down the pitch, tracking their man, but providing their own pressure on the flanks. They must be whippets in boots, probing and penetrating like a well thrown javelin. Hibbert probes and penetrates like a sledgehammer swung through the side of a shed. He’ll get forward occasionally, he’s even been known to set up the odd goal, but he has never, ever shared a sentence with the word ‘cavalier.’
This isn’t to patronise or denigrate his achievements. Hibbert made his debut for Everton in 2001 and you don’t get to play more than 250 Premier League games over an 11 year period purely because you’re a hard worker. Hibbert is intelligent, he doesn’t desert his post, he rarely switches off and he always, always makes sure that the man he is marking knows that he’s been marked.

Some excellent tackles.
Thought he was great today.
Hibbert hasn't played sine 2014, funnily we've been gas hat the back since.

MOTM today fantastic considering how long he has been away from the first team and this stage in his career.
If only he was 10 years younger because you can't teach that love for defending, nothing like a Hibbo slide tackle to get you up for the game.
Today showed why i think he has to become a coach for us and working with either the younger lads or first team lads as defensively has never been his weak point.

Read the game well great performance rolled back the years v a poor Bournemouth side but hey he did more than some of our midfield - I would hate to see him up v a fast young winger , but hey ho highlight of the game IMO!
