Fückin stinking.
That was a McGhee era-esque performance. Hibs really didn't have to do anything well, just wait for us to give them the ball and run off with it as we stood and watched. Fücking pitiful.
Along with the other well-discussed issues with the formation, when will Deek see that May and Rooney need to play together - not instead of each other? The spaces that May's runs created in the second half just remained spaces where a centre forward would be standing. Most notably when he got in behind the defence to the byline and looked up to find no-one within 20 yards of the goal.
I mention May's "runs" quite deliberately - as we seemed in no way interested in giving him the ball for the most part. If Deek's thinking was we could play the ball over the top for May to stretch their defence then the players either didn't know or actively disobeyed - preferring instead to play trundling sideways passes to the nearest Hibs player. May must be wondering what the fück we bought him for.

What I don't understand is why nobody has asked McInnes in interviews or press conferences 1) what on earth that formation was meant to be against Hibs? and 2) what on earth was the thinking behind it? oh and 3) why didn't he change it straight away when it was clear to see nobody knew what they were doing?
Why just keep asking him the same, obvious, pointless questions - i.e. "how do you bounce back from this Derek?", "do you think it's a good time to be playing Celtic?" "Does the poor record against the OF make you more determined to win?" Stupid questions.
