Its a poor result no doubts,but McInnes cant win at the moment.I sort of admire him for trying out different things because he's looking(I assume) for better.Nobodys been comfortable with the defence this season,so he changed it again today,and Arnason looked pretty good.That might be a bit of tinkering that pays off longer term.
Were assuming its tinkering that was the problem,but it sounds like we started well,and Killie took us a bit by surprise after their substitution,played well.Maybe a case of lacking the drive and urgency to get back into it.Would maybe have had Tansey or Ball in beside Shinnie(who wasnt great),and we missed Christies energy and creativity,who was possibly dropped because him and MacLean cant play int the same team? MacLean played ok first half,but would have Christie ahead of him,or drop Maynard
There was a lot of games last season where we would have looked as ordinary as we did today if it wasnt for Johnny Hayes bombing forward.We need someone to dictate a good tempo and the forwards to learn how to link up better or be more alert to each other
