Shots fired! The cynic in me suspects the club is trying to use a convenient provocation to put this into the public domain 18 months out from council elections.

I also thought he would cope with the step up in standard. Injury didn't help him at Girona, nor did the fact they were regressing massively from the success they were having the previous season. I do wonder what went on behind the scenes there as he wasn't prepared to go on loan, insisting on a permanent transfer, and Girona sold him for a cut price too. That reeks of big falling out with the staff. As for his hun form it's pleasing to watch the hordes of mordor start to hate him but unft I suspect it's temporary. Unless they stick him out on loan in Jan he'll likely start scoring eventually and all sins will be forgiven.

Too busy at work to get off early enough to make the trip. So far in the league I have missed Dundee and Hearts so we are sure to win on that basis. Keskinen has to start for me. Past few games he has looked so much more aware of what is going on around him (I genuinely wonder if Lutz had a chat with him about that on arrival as his improved play does seem to coincide with that timing) and long may that continue. Gyamfi wasn't on the bench on Sunday, has he picked up another knock does anyone know? Jensen will probably come back in to freshen legs though no idea which side. He's another player that to my eye seems to be improving a wee bit though not to the level of Keskinen. Couch Rtv Couch I don't care about St mirrens shit form, I still regard them as our bogey team and it will take more than the win in paisley to shake that anxiety when playing them. Any kind of win and I'll be delighted but I'll go 2-0 good guys. Topi and Milanovic.

I said I would take any kind of win and I stand by that. Overall a fortunate win but whilst Mitov (who was good today, didn't look shaky at all) had a few saves to make most of them were fairly routine. The subs brought us right back into it I felt. We started keeping the ball more consistently and I wasn't surprised when we scored as I felt the pendulum had swung in our favour. Particularly pleasing was Topi making more good decisions when he came on and not just the assist. I wonder if something has just clicked in his head recently as that's a few games now he hasn't made a particularly stupid choice. Agree Adil had a good game but with the fixture congestion we have in front of us it's understandable he was subbed. Polvara was solid when he came on.

Does anyone know who it is?

We defo signed the wrong Yenghi. Pretty much every ball to him has stuck to him like glue.

Agreed, they are passing around us for fun

Back to a back 4, could be a 4231 or a 433.

He has a year and a half left with the option of an extra year. I suspect on current form he's already out of our price range and will probably go down south in January.

This situation really is quite bizarre when I think about it. We haven't lost in over a month, our last league game we beat the league leaders yet no-one is overly confident about going to the bottom of the table team and getting a win.

I am going to need to check this out. It really is going to be interesting to see what effect he has on the club.

I've only been to livi once, 1-0 win with a late goal from church I think. Had a few beers in the bar under the main stand and it wasn't spectacular by any stretch but it wasn't awful either. I actually quite liked the ground itself. For a lego stadium you're nice and tight on the pitch and there's no gaps. The pitch is god awful though. Not feeling great about this one 2bh. Livi will keep it tight and their Yenghi is actually handy. We need to score first I think. Out Rtv No idea on score but would take any kind of win quite happily.

At a guess I would say an hour or so?

Seen a rumour online der hun are looking at Burrows.

How did you end up supporting the dons Manc?

I also think it would be a nice shot in the arm to defy the odds and not finish bottom of the CL table. After the poor start to the season it would be a nice two fingered salute to our external critics. That said a win against Noah and a point against Strasbourg would hopefully be enough to keep us in the mix for the Prague game. If we could go to the CR with something to play for I think that would be a solid enough achievement given the draw we got.

Rumour I heard was his grandad died but no Idea if he will be back

Noah are not on great form coming into this. They haven't won since the end of October and lost 3 out of the last 4 though it should be noted their last fixture was a draw against 2nd place when they had gone down to ten men 20 minutes into the game. Who the fuck knows what to expect but I suspect they will be no mugs and well drilled.

sounds like a measure to try and get everyone to order tickets online.

Fine? Nah, not for me. To my eye he should have had a penalty awarded against him and possibly even sent off for dangerous play against Kabore. I dunno, to me he just looks shaky and nervous at the moment and has done for a while. I know goalies get extra scrutiny for mistakes but Mitov is giving me the fear a lot this season.

There's been some chat online that our defence is 'sorted' because we have had a few clean sheets recently and it's absolute nonsense. Our defence is improved but if Hearts take their chances yesterday they win comfortably. It doesn't help that Mitov seems to be becoming increasingly uneasy at coming for high balls and we seem to be getting at least one erratic moment per game from him too. Yesterday was one of those games where we deserved it because we managed to score and the opposition didn't but we were very fortunate to deserve it if you ask me.

I'm always have a soft spot for bebo

We got very lucky in that game. Delighted with the win but we need to do far better retaining the ball. The number of times we just hooded it into their half was infuriating.

Wouldn't be surprised 2bh, there was an irritation about McInnes when he was talking about it.

I mind when Zidane left Juve for Madrid. Juve actually improved a wee bit because they no longer had the entirely understandable "see when you get the ball, give it to zizu" mentality. Not saying that's going to happen here but I'm defo interested to see how we do without him.
