For fucks sake Manc where’s the game day thread. 
 

Mitov out and P&J reporting that Nilsen out injured for next few weeks as well. Really glad I booked that expensive train ticket.

Can we get Gueye off please?

Seriously, next foul and he may be off..

Lovely well worked goal! Nice Clarkson finish too.

Just said exactly that to my son.

Making me nervous every time the ball goes near him

Replaced by Dabbagh at half time surely 🤔

I’d yank gueye and play topi at 10, morris wide.

like that we are lively and physical but too many fouls and a bit reckless. Don’t finish with 11 if the second half is the same.

Oot - too slow buying tickets

  Radio saying weve been brilliant at times.esp Keskinen,even Okkels getting praise.Lets keep it going,done well to pull it back.Just need St J to pull their fingers out

We are definitely fiesty and more physical today…

Was thinking the same, there's definitely a message today to get wired into them. Gueye taking it a bit far (mainly because he's clumsy).

Very good attacking performance, not defensively though so a third goal is vital. Dabbagh or Sokler for Gueye seems obvious.

Other than the goal it's been an excellent first half I'd say.

Gueye probably needs replaced as they've already tried to con the ref in to sending him off. 

Feart to shoot first time...

That’s twice their number 5 has gone down pretending to be caught by Gueye. Shitehouse behaviour like that should fall under the remit of VAR, it’s just cheating.

Don’t like this sub, hope to be proven wrong. Gueye has done a good job in the 10 space, hope we don’t now have a hole ahead of palaversa and Clarkson and sokler and nisbet together high. Ends up too much long ball.

Need a positive and aggressive shady mo, need a third.

time for some Morris dancing then

Nice one..

Another lovely goal! Clarkson has had a very good game, nice cross from Jensen, he was due a decent delivery!

Third goal was oh so simple and indicative of the sort of goal we have conceded numerous times this season.

First hour or so this afternoon was probably Okkels most effective hour in an Aberdeen shirt to date.

What a fucking screamer from our number 9

Besides a shit goal conceded, a very good performance today. Plenty of good individuals too, think the combo of Clarkson and palaversa in the middle a big plus.

..And Shinnie on the left.Bit more laboured second half,but still managed to score 3.Good win

Yep, Palaversa and Clarkson very good. Two players who can drop deep but pick a pass ahead of them.

Shinnie at left back needs work though, few times he didn't have the legs to get back quick enough and Motherwell targeted us there. Doesn't mean he doesn't necessarily work there as going forward he's good, we just need to adjust our shape defensively to cover, Palaversa maybe needs to drop into a three when we're attacking.

Looked like Dorrington was holding his hamstring as he went off.

Even then he was bang average. Not a bad free transfer squad player but certainly kit one we’d pay a fee for.

For clarity much as I think "bang average" is a tad unfair, I am not for one second suggesting we should be spunking seven figures on him, unless it was a penny less than £100k 😉

Ok, remove the bang? Not putting a dampener on things, good day today!

Just back, great performance, probably the best of the season. Completely dominated them, despite an horrendous refereeing performance. Clarkson just immense again, and the player we signed. I'd be offering him an extended deal tonight. Nisbet also brilliant, leading the line superbly and organising the front four like a captain - I'd sign him tomorrow if possible. Shinnie really good on the left and Palaversa did well in the middle. Knoester is a class act, and Dorrington is a comfortable right sided defender. Jensen was okay and Okkels too. Gueye was really poor in the number ten role where he started, but Thelin seemed to switch them at a point and Gueye improved the more he was kept out of the way, winning some good headers and creating space for others. Doohan did well in goals, dealing with some difficult crosses. 

They were pish, as was the ref. That decision to not play on when Morris was away should see him reffing league one for the next five seasons.

I'll be astounded but extremely happy if we see Kevin Nisbet in an Aberdeen shirt next season
