91:25

His first touch to evade the press, his little body turns in possession & his desire to play forward is absolutely first class.

Heard a rumour @jackhwrites was running up and down the press box celebrating when Klidje scored 👀

9️⃣0️⃣💭 🧵 What a performance & result. McGrath scores a peach after a nice bit of build-up & a brilliant Joe Newell pass. Then after that, could you ask for anything more from your substitutions? Wright, Klidje & N Cadden all getting on the scoresheet, Matondo a nuisance and of course Williams stepping in and putting in a big performance after 10 minutes. Thought Ivezic was superb, he and Kerr beginning to form a strong partnership. Both great on the ball ball and defensively The subs allowed us to keep control of the game, a game we dominated from start to finish. Aberdeen had a few chances, on another day they may have taken one & made the game more interesting, but overall that was as good as it gets. Chips away at the goal difference and gets us off the bottom of the table. International break coming at the wrong time in terms of momentum, but more training time and recovery time is super beneficial as well. What a week!

4️⃣5️⃣💭 🧵 Huge blow losing Passlack, injuries eh? Williams has done well since coming on, things haven’t been too disrupted. Our build-up play has been really good. McGrath, Boyle and Iredale all rotating & we are getting forward with relative ease. McGrath picking up all sorts of great positions between the lines. Mulligan and Newell influential in their own ways and it’s just the final 1/3 where we aren’t being as clinical. Aberdeen a threat on the counter attack, most teams will be with the nature of our attacking play. More of the same second half, but we need to take one of these chances.

🥬📋 Iredale a slightly safer defensive option than N Cadden? Plus allows us to put N Cadden on if we need to push for a goal. Iredale can’t do what Mayor does but he is good on the ball & can play forward & through - need him to be brave & do that tonight. As you were elsewhere. It worked well on Sunday, hopefully more of the same tonight. Need the three points here. GGTTH 💚

Hibs vs Hearts: First-Half Tactical Review 🆕🎦 A look back at the defining themes from the opening 45 minutes: ⚽️ Out of Possession: A clever 4-1-3-2 press allowed Hibs to suffocate Hearts while playing out from the back. Even when Hearts broke through and hit a switch of play, we were able to recover. 🔨 Build-Up: The 3-1-6 continuing to be embedded. Now with Jamie McGrath, Martin Boyle and Adam Mayor on the left, our build-up improved significantly. But Joe Newell’s positioning, movement & rotations are proving to be vital. 🏃Attacking Numbers: Once we play through and forward, the numbers getting forward is really impressive. But it’s not aimless running, it’s controlled and organised.
