I'd only add that moving abroad is a huge change and presents all sorts of new problems; especially at that age. I'm sure I could (and many of the other overseas posters on here also could) give a long list of things you never considered having to deal with. I'm not surprised it is taking a few months to adjust.

Given the radical overhaul of the way we were playing, I expected a lot more defeats early in the season, with the rewards not starting to come until after Christmas. I have been pleasantly surprised how quickly we were able to pick up points. The fact we were disappointed not to win some of the first few matches speaks volumes about the progress. It's been great to watch us develop, and the exciting thing is have barely started. Who knew letting footballers play football could be so entertaining?

I now have an idea what it was.

To be fair, like many teams visiting Fir Park this season, the version of Hibs that turned up tonight was the version our players and tactics created.

Hearts bringing 4.800 apparently, so should be a great crowd. And 3pm kick off on a Saturday. What a time to be alive!

6,585 according to the Beeb.

797 Passes. 93.7% accuracy. I dont care who you are or who you are playing, that is impressive.

Priestman was class tonight. It's great to be able to rest Slattery and Fadinger and not miss a beat in the middle of the park.

I hope our potential world cup opponents weren't watching how easy it was to run past Hanley.

When we play like that we make very good teams look very ordinary. Hope we can keep it up on Saturday. Also, kudos to JBA for rotating the squad and still selecting a great starting lineup.

Olé Take your pick...

Said going to get off the mark tonight. I can feel it.

Been very impressed with Priestman. Tidy player on the ball.

This.

Two more required for comfort and league position.

Part of JBA's plan seems to be having Maswanhise keep running at Hanely and Iredale. Working so far.

it did - definitely clipped him. EDIT - must have been outside, but looked on the line the first time.

VAR officials keeping busy this evening.

Adding goals to possession definitely helps.

Get in!

Still soft though as he was turning away. Not complaining about the goal (!)- just the modern handball rules.

Soft pen - although in line with all the other soft handball pens.

He obviously has a plan - no idea what it is.

I think you're missing my context when I said "He needs to be focusing on playing football, not worrying about World Cups" Sounds like we are saying the same thing - job one is getting a game, not worrying about World Cup squads.

Not really. When you aren't getting a game, you need to be doing exactly what is asked by your manager and coaches to get into the first team. No other distractions. Once you're in the first team and playing regularly, you can start thinking about doing enough to get into the national squad.
