"The initial start to the game, we spoke about trying to keep the crowd quiet or bring some pressure onto the Rangers players after the last couple of results that they have had. But we gave them the complete opposite. We gave them a lift."

There ya go Rico.

Go argue with McInnes about it.

Nonsense. Our formation was designed to let them come to us. We had 6 defenders on the pitch, and didn't play a pressing game. McInnes clearly thought we could absorb pressure and then pick them off later in the game. That is how both Dundee and Hamilton beat them recently. However, we don't have the personnel to do this as we're too weak in midfield.

Nonsense huh?

Mcinnes admitted this himself on redtv.

I have no doubt we tried to come out the traps last night and all guns a blazing but unfortunately, they didn't let us.

They were so up for it and really destroyed us.esp that horrendous first half.

He's definitely not the answer but are May and Rooney producing the goods?

No.

Let's at least try something that feeds two strikers cos this lone striker piss does NOT work for us.

We havnt the midfield for it when we play McLean GMS Shinnie and Christie and have 1 up top when playing the Huns or Celtic.

we need a midfielder, a winger and a striker.

On last nights game , we need at least 5 new defenders.

The man marking was piss poor.they ran all over us and our watching runs was abysmal.

DM and TD need to work on the defence matching runs or at least become more aware of them.

I could've skipped past our defence last night it was shocking.

the worrying thing, although I thought we would put in a good performance is...the signs have been there for months as we all know right?

Fucking Jack celebrating to the Huns.

Wish we'd got rid of him about 3 years ago. He was never any big shakes for us.

Ok just my opinion.

The first stone roses album was excellent (as is I am the resurrection and fools gold).

It was great timing , mixing funky guitar riffs with rock and a cool 60s electronics experimental vibe.

The tunes were really catchy and the youth embraced it in the club scene.

However, after that, I believe they were over rated average musicians.

It's extremely trendy for some reason to love the stone roses when really they were a one album pony IMO.

Many of those 90s bands could be similarly described. Churning out some great tunes.

The SRs deserve their accolades but really for just THAT album.

there's far better musicians around who have done way more for the world of music but they're not as cool I guess.

Each to our own.carry n.

That's the team I would consistently stick with.

May has had enough opportunities on his own as has Rooney...it doesn't work.

I am maybe old school and that I believe in a partnership up front.

Both May and Maynard are very mobile (unlike Rooney)

May is too small to punt balls up to all the time.

our midfield is weak but by strengthening the defence with Shinnie, I think it's a chance worth taking and let the 'flair' players take on men on the wings to get the ball to our front two.

We used to play some lovely one-twos and triangle passes...what's happened to it?

Anyway, hope things change for Sunday.

They need to badly.

That was pathetic.

If I had been at that game my face would've been as red as my scarf.

Actually, my scarf would've been thrown onto the pitch in disgust.

The Huns tore us apart.they were better than us in every department. Fuck they even looked better than Celtic do against us when they hump us every time.

6 defenders playing tonight.

What's happened to Ross and Wright?

McLean actually wasn't that bad to be fair.he scooped up a lot of the mess.

We didn't need Chrisite sent off to go down to 10 men..er lassies.May wasn't playing up front anyway, was he?

Did anyone see him?

Bad decision by DM to obsessively get his man who was decent a few years ago.

Him and Rooney are shite at this level.kilmarnock yeah..the twins no.

I'd prefer Maynard for 90 minutes.

would be excellent if DM did go to the Hun because we would then be able to beat them.

Tansey's challenge was like a drunken ballerina.wtf was he doing?

Christie is a liar..nowhere near the ball.

Their goal was offside and the referee was awful.he let them off with a challenge in the first half then books one of our players seconds later for a similar challenge.prick.

If you play like that on Sunday you can fuck off AFC.

I'd play this team:

            Lewis

Logan Arni McKenna Shinnie

          OConnor

Tansey          McLean          Wright

      Maynard    May

We need to get the wings active and create space.

We were awful on the right wing last night and GMS was too slow down the left and too inconsistent with his touches.he gave the ball away a few times too easily.

Maynard and May are far far more effective than a May or Rooney up front  on their own.

With Andrew Dallas as the ref I suspect you will be right about us not keeping 11 on the field.

It'll end up goalie v goalie with Lewis lobbing the Hun.

1-0 dons.

I think GMS has great skill when used but it's hit and miss a lot.

He played some nice stuff on Sunday at times but went missing too. Like a report card from school, he needs to apply himself a lot more.

Still, the Huns are shite.

2-0 us.

Would probably take that with our respective form guides. However, I expect shinnie to have this team fired up, or at least I’d like him to give Boyd the shitters so the arse hair on his head falls out.

 

Out

Ferry from south to north island

Bed

Bed

2-1 them, shinnie

Beware that stretch of water...its treacherous Manc.

I've got us down as 3-0 or a 2goal+ win.

Time to pay up AFC.

Fucking hilarious.

Every single one of them apparently in the know.

Loving reminding every hun i know that i told them four weeks ago that McInnes would not be their next manager. Hace necer wavered in the slightest from that.

 

Hope their misery continues for a very long time

Thank fuck i don't know any Huns anymore.

It's lovely to not have to listen or see those cunts anymore having been brought up next to them and their fucking horrible Union Jack colour scarves.

Insignificant is the word I believe.

Ask rocket redz

He knows what a buffoon he is.

Anyway, all investment into AFC is awesome.

Oh wait, can I say that without being called moronic or being criticised?

Oh no, what have I said.

Rocket will be onto it in a flash.

I'm worried now.

As long as knobhead keeps digging away at me, I'll keep defending myself.

Nobody will ban anyone here obviously since Rocket's vitriol towards some posters is constant , so let's keep this going eh?

Zzzzzzz.....

At least kiriakov knows where NOT to put Ryan Jack.

Well I still think we made a huge mistake of letting Jack go.

I mean he could have surely been a great player as a centre half.

The vision there was astonishing.How nobody else saw it beggars belief.

Is this anything to do with the apparent apathy and 2-0 defeat for us?

McLeish new Dons boss?

Hmm...

Whoa. When you wrote “formations eh?”, that was a direct reference. You were inviting conflict. In my opinion, you are stubborn, you lack mental agility and you have a pathological need not to be wrong. You didn’t engage in the original debate and went off on one. If you had debated and acknowledged others points of view, you wouldn’t need to keep on harking back to old sores. You resorting to insults or using other diversionary tactics isn’t going to make anyone forget what was posted before. If you don’t want me to challenge you, don’t invite me to, as you clearly did on this thread, like so many others. You’re obsessed.

You still tapping away.

Ive no problem u arguing with me or disagreeing but you don't need the insulting additions ok.

I agree.

But every post i write rocket calls me a name. I have proof. He's a troll.

How the mods havnt banned him yet is beyong me.

He's even called them names blatantly.

Im just defending myself but he's a total troll and an online bully.

Im sick to death of it to be honest and thinking of going elsewhere.

Ur just a lonely old fat cunt who needs to be on a football forum (on his own) at 1.30am.

What happened? You ran out of Barry Manilow records to play?

You have a great life ya fucking loser cunt

I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.

 

You’re a fucking dickhead from what I’m reading.

 

But I’ve been wrong before.

And I still fink ur a dumb cunt.

Would we have won if Jack had played full back?

Let's get him back and play him there. Things could be so different eh ya thick fucker.

Go back to your boring books you Hun.

You're a third rate England loving cunt.

Fuck off

Right now it's the opinion of many many Dons fans.

Rooney, mclean, considine, tansey, may, stewart and Maynard are all not good enough at the moment.

There's 7.Hows that?

Obviously players from other leagues need to be looked at.thats not my job but if the money is there...which it is..then AFC need to get their finger out and start making this team a lot better than it is.

Sad times for us.

What seemed like a decent window too.

But it's only the formations eh?

We aren't good enough at the moment.

That's down to individuals.

Yes it's only the 2nd defeat in the league but how many games can you say,  we were brilliant.

Can the board of multi millionaires invest more in buying better players please?

Manc ur still on holiday ha.

It's a constant holiday over here even when you're working.

There's a place I went with my gorgeous Kiwi gfriend at the time south of Marloborough. It had Yosemite style rocks and further south right on the coast where they park their boats next to their houses.There's a lighthouse and you actually drive through a seal colony where I watched seal pups play in the rock pools just before sunset.

Fooking magical.

Peru win 2-0 to qualify for first World Cup in 35 years.

Good job they're not coming up against our World Cup winners again then eh?
