With Mcrorie looking likely to miss out tomorrow and the very limited number of midfield options we have found ourselves with. How do you think Murty will set up tomorrow night?

I can't really think how he will play the same shape without Mcrorie, unless he keeps Alves and Wilson back 2 and play Cardoso CDM? I know, doesn't sound great, I'm just speculating but I think Wilson is too slow for the CDM role, Fabio is faster.

Tbh he will probably have to change the shape all together if Mcrorie isn't playing.

3-5-2 is a great shout. hibs are a good team and there strength is midfield. so we should pack it and try and win the middle of the park then the rest should take care of itself. but I'm gutted about our injuries. I suppose it will make it sweeter if we win. but we're in for a battle. Lennon will have them pumped up. that's for sure

barjonas to start

if mcrorie can do a job in holding role as a converted cntr half why not barjonas who’s a natural centr mid who’s played that role every game he’s ever played

i hope he starts and plays a blinder as the lad has real promise and as we know hibs are a good team but let’s show everyone we are too

miller morelos

my opinion on pena is he gets into good spaces and sees the space well. just no first touch and very lazy.

if mcrorie is fit i'd play him instead of miller and put candieas further forward.

Murty is a Shankly student - replace like for like. He didn't shy away from playing Bates and he won't shy away from playing Barjonas. It will be the normal formation, except I think he might go for the strength of Herrera as opposed to the . well, nothing really, of Pena.

Good team Jzer. we've been so unlucky with injuries the past 2 seasons. its incredible the amount of long term injuries we've had.

Why would anyone put Pena in the team against Hibs? This will be a battle tonight and the last thing we need is a lazy player who contributes nothing in midfield. Put in Barjonas where you at least will get a player who will be up for the game

Hibs have a good engine in mcginn Bartley mcgeoch etc in that central area! We must look to match that Murty will imo keep the same shape but as my previous post I would like to see us match them hence the 5 across middle and me moving tav into the central 3 his stamina is vital in there to help out holty who has been playing well and has tremendous mobility but obviously lacks strength and presence! Barjo and tav are athletes and are vital for the win tonight
