  1. Impossible to celebrate in real time, any var check?
  2. Please put milanovic on the left!!! He’s down nothing on the right for 5 months.
  3. I think Aouchiche has been our best player. Let’s take him off!
  4. Thought Armstrong had been subbed off!! Unlucky.
  5. One passage of play and 2 mins of sustained attacking play in 70 mins so far.
  6. Like for like does little. No service to lazetic will mean no service to nisbet. like many, losing patient with Thelin ball. Painful.
  7. No clue what shinnie offers now. Gets burned for pace every time at the back, and doesn’t have the pace to attack. Getting caught regularly on both instances. why aren’t we subbing?
  8. Seriously. A win would certainly help!
  9. We lose every long ball. And go long ball a lot.
  10. Maybe even the game to yank karlsson and stick nisbet up top/at 10 with lazetic.
  11. Clarkson topi and polvara at half time for sivert Armstrong and karlsson. will actually say that aoichiche gets lass marks so far. Ignore the shot!!
  12. I can see what they are trying to do, beat us. We don’t look like we are trying to beat them…
  13. Maybe we’re getting the shite half out of the way early this game???
  14. I don’t understand. With Armstrong sivert and shinnie we still appear to have no leadership out there. No passion or drive in midfield. It’s only a matter of time before they score at this rate.
  15. Karlsson has lost possession every time so far.
  16. Another game where the opponent passes way better than us. Hanging on a bit.
  17. Ffs. Switched on 5 mins in and total shit so far.
  18. You may be right he’s not good enough, I’ve never seen him play, but I dont agree on your ‘doing the yards’ comment. It depends on the type of midfielder you want and what he is. If you want him to be the Rama replacement then it sounds like he’s being set up for failure. Both Ryan jack and Jim Bett were decent midfielders, different, but neither known for doing the yards IMHO. Connor Barron too, and I apologize for the clear Huns relationship, but all were tidy players. weve failed miserably at recruitment that I def think it’s worth taking a look since he’s ours, before we spunk more money.
  19. We’ve spunked a fair few pounds on players not good enough. I’d be giving first team time to look at Marshall frame Belalovic and kjarten to see if they are any good before bringing too many more in. fwiw McKenna was mediocre on loan at ayr and only got into our first team initially due to injury/suspension, they rest is history. You have to look and see what you have.
  20. No chance! There is only one football. My boys were born in LA and I lived there 17 years, the only American sport I’m really into is the NBA and the lakers, but my older son has one laker top and three Aberdeen tops.
  21. Three signings are essential. Left mid, right mid, two legit wide players, and a Rama center mid. Add the legit center mid and we might get the most out of Clarkson. The more I think about it, he’s not too different from Kenny McLean, and is he can thrive in the SPL, do not see why Clarkson can’t. Play karlsson at 10 in a free role rather than out wide.
  22. Absolutely impossible to predict. While we aren’t crap for an entire game, I can only think of one game, Dundee at home, where we played reasonably well for most/all game. i think this is a biggie, although they all seem to be these days. Dundee livi killie st Mirren below us, killie can beat utd, livi beat us, and Dundee play st mirren. Bottom 4-5 could get more compact. above us, I predict wins for Celtic rangers and hearts, so a win for us brings us closer to the immediate teams in the top half of the league. win lose, it’s 50/50, heart says 2-1 us, nisbet and karlsson.
  23. The problem is we have a number of players like he go that need moved on. We have very few must keep players. The squad overhaul we just did needs an overhaul! Any money offered for yengi milanovic Ambrose Nilsen gyamfi palaversa , even Jensen, should be jumped at.
  24. I don’t get why people think two up top will work. It’s in midfield we are really poor. We had to go to a back 5 because of that. Going two up top will, in my opinion, mean more long ball. And neither lazetic or nisbet are strong in the air. To dominate games means you have to dominate in midfield. How does two up top help us there? We also don’t have width/wingers to stretch the field to give two up top more space to operate in.
  25. I struggle with the fact we have no real style of play. We’re a horrible watch. When Thelin first came here I felt we were a clear counter attack team. We had identity. We’d win the ball deep, hit a forward, and you’d see pace from our midfield supporting and attacking, and we had width. That’s how we played during our positive run. Since teams figured that out and sat more we’ve struggled with no clear style or identity. I also think the inverted winger shit has done more damage than good. I’ve seen inverted wingers work, and work really well. But it doesn’t for us. We’re a 3-4-2-1 team by default. Because we are crap and had to go to a back 5 for the most part, not because it’s what we want to do. Because we were so weak in midfield a got over run. so, shit recruitment has led to a poor squad and imbalanced team. Is jimmy a bad coach or just a coach struggling with a very limited squad.
