Stupid enough to spend yet more money on following a lost cause

In

Working then driving 15 mins from my 🏠 and trying to fathom out a potential line up and formation under Thelin

Away end

4-0 Killie

Driving home and if Thelin hasn't gone before this them awaiting the announcement that another Aberdeen manager has left the club post a heavy defeat at Rugby Park.

Jimmy, please walk away now.

 

We’re pish but bizarrely I wouldn’t be surprised if we win. 1-0. 

Need to win this and get some confidence back in players. Thelin needs to find away of getting a competitive team on to pitch and bugger the system. Personally I would be ditching the inverted wingers and getting Lazetic and Nisbet playing together. No idea what Thelin will do. 
 

Midweek to Kilmarnock from here is bad enough so anyone coming from Aberdeen needs their head examining.

Armstrong has been decent on the ball, generally speaking. However, it struck me when watching Hibs (and when we signed him, in reality it is fucking obvious), that he would do a good job in the role McGrath was playing. Let's just do that for Killie. 

Edit: obviously, I'd normally pick Clarkson ahead of Nilsen, but I'm saving him for the second half when we're two down.

I was gonna agree with this line-up (though Nilsen is injured I think) but Nisbet looks massively overweight there.

I’d much rather see karlsson up top with lazetic, offers so much more.

Killie away midweek just before lockdown remains my last attended away game. That seems mad when these days I probably wouldn't even bother with the home fixture. I will however, as always, punish myself by watching on RedTV. 

 

Armstrong better get his finger out. He was particularly gash against Hibs.

The Scottish Cup replay game that ended 4-3 for us after the draw at Pittodrie.

What a fucking night that was, without doubt my favourite Aberdeen game at Rugby Park since I move to this neck of the woods over thirty years ago 👍

Looks like he got trapped with Neil Lennon in that machine from the Fly

If Jimmy persists with his tried and failed formation(s) we will more than likely loose or draw this one. 

Gyamfi injured, Dorrington struggling. 

So I'd go with this. Horrible game but the Dons to win it 1-0, preferably in the 109th minute on the counter attack after VAR fails and doesn't spot the blatant penalty for Kilmarnock.

 

Should be nailed on Lazetic starts - he's one of the few players showing both improvement and desire, and although I feel for Nisbet, he was anonymous in recent games.

It may be we revert to a back 4 after the past two games.  I would actually like to see nisbet start with Lazetic.  Marco has legs and I think they complement each other well 

 

Lobban in. Big chance for the kid.

It could be a 5-3-2, which would be what we all were asking for (okay, Rico and I, but I think we speak for the whole forum).

Or Polvara or Armstrong could be in the number 10 position, which... well. Let's see.

Aye, that's an interesting lineup. Great to see Lobban get a chance, he's due it. I'm guessing it'll be the 3-4-3 again, with Polvara and Karlsson either side of Lazetic. Not a fan of the central midfielder playing high right, whether that be Aouchiche, Clarkson or Polvara. It just seems really unnecessary. For me, 3-5-2 with Armstrong in front of Shinnie and Polvara would work much better. 

Fully expect a 3-4-2-1 again. Role actually suits polvara, hope he plays well. Keen to see lobban play too, never seen him before. Disappointed that Jensen is stuck on the left, but that could also be lobban.

It's really a 3-4-3 when you see it in the wild. The two wide play in line with the striker. I took am interested to see if Lobban plays left, he certainly looks two footed.

Red tv not working????

Looks like a 3-5-2 from behind our goals.

Lobban on the right

Lobban right. Or Low-ban as the Killie TV lads are calling him

You're correct. Perhaps it's just when Nisbet is playing, they form the line
