That was a very stressful match like were hanging on to the lead at the 90th minute to the final whistle. Maeda didn’t play awesome today but he still scored a goal. And then Iheanacho scored a volley in the 72nd minute. I feel like the first 10 minutes when Iheanacho came on we played much better football. Yeah overall I wasn’t happy with that performance we just were so sloppy but then when we got some fresh legs on we played a tiny bit better. Maeda had a few great chances to score but just didn’t take them but again he still scored a goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I just want to talk about Hibs goal now was it a handball or not ? YES IT WAS A HANDBALL IT WAS CLEAR AS DAY AND THE REF GAVE IT!!! Even the commentators were saying ” If you’re not 100% about the decision and it’s a fifty-fifty just don’t give it ” And i 100% agree. I’d like to see the ref watch now. And in the Bayern V Madrid match it hit off a players side then hit his hand and it was a penalty so then tell me WHY WAS THIS NOT A HANDBAL<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And look at the photo i put just below here it clearly hits his hand and I geuss we just got robbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

OK I’ll do ratings in a second but I just need to go through something else. HOW ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH DID WE NOT GET A PENALTY! The ball was still in play Nygren was about to get a touch on the ball and then a Hibs player literally pushes Nygren over and once again NO PEN! It’s ridiculous like if you see from the photo down below he clearly gets pushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what do you think now that you see the photo of the play It’s a clear foul and still NO PENALTY! And in case any of you are like ” Well Maeda’s goal was offside” Nope you’re wrong the ball kept him onside. So basically if the ball is ahead of you but you are ahead of the last defender but the ball is ahead of you, you’re not offside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I’ll do ratings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinisalo 7.3- He did some great clearances from throw ins and corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scales 6.8 – Not his best day but played OK he was a tiny bit sloppy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trusty 7 – Did what he had to but mostly just passed the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tierney 7.5 – I honestly thought he played great did some good recovery’s and some great crosses too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alistair Johnston 7.6 – Played great did some good tiki-taka and played very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ralston 6.5 – I didn’t see him on the ball much maybe because he went in a bit late but yeah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engels 7.2 – Did good I mean not the best very sloppy to be honest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGregor 7.4 – Was surprisingly sloppy as well but played OK did passes and all but just not his best performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0McCowan<\/strong> 6.8 – Played good i mean didn’t really see him on the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tounekti 7.8 – I think he played very very good I don’t know why Martin O’Neill took him off but anyways he played very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maeda 7.8 \u26bd- Yes Maeda did get a goal but i feel like he wasn’t himself he wasn’t pressing as much and he played good but that’s why he’s only a 7.8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yang 7.2 – He didn’t really play that well He created a couple chances but that’s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nygren 7.7 – He played good but was a tiny bit sloppy as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iheanacho 7.8 \u26bd- He scored the winner played good i think he didn’t do much afterwards tho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok that’s the ratings and I have something to say. It’s about McGregor, so what he does loads is passes right but all the time he passes it to Scales for then him to pass it wide but why just why doesn’t Callum just pass it wide himself? I don’t know but it’s just i think we need to stop passing it back then back up and back and just can someone just take the risk and shoot like what Scales did today. Scales shot outside the box even when he could’ve passed it but he shot which i think is brilliant. We need someone like that because many many times today we could’ve shot but we kept passing it like there were in the game Hot Potatoe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned and comment what you think and keep looking to see when i post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
