AEK Larnaca V Aberdeen 06/11/25

[KGB]

Good away performance, looked solid with Jack Milne the pick of the bunch. Another impressive display from Dylan Lobban and some decent performances on display with Gyamfi also coming back from injury so a lot to like.

Wouldnt say we were the better team,but when we move the ball a bit quicker we can look pretty dangerous.Might have nicked something if we'd been a bit more positive first half.

   Milne a stand out,Gyamfi an upgrade on the left,and Keskinen looked hungry when he came on,possible new super sub role? 

  Bring on the 'Well...

Lobban deserves special mention, looked like he'd been there for years rather than a fortnight - him and Milne have stepped up well. 

On the other hand, still trying to work out if Nisbet actually came on or if I imagined it.

Credit to them for that. That's a team that has beat Crystal Palace, and hammered AZ Alkmaar and Brann. And yet, away from home, I thought we were better team.

You can see how distraught Milanovic is at the end for missing that chance, but it's actually a tougher chance than it looks. Difficult to shape your body to direct it in.

Jack Milne excellent. Not just for the headers he won, but also the way he steps into the middle of the park and links the play. 

Still need two wins at least to qualify, potentially two wins and a draw, but I think at the moment it's more about taking confidence from these games after the poor start rather than stressing about getting through.

Unbeaten in four out of six, clean sheets in four from six, unbeaten in three away games in a row (all with cleans sheets).

Good result...pity I thought the KO was 7:45!   See Athens drew with Shamrok Rovers.

It's weird. He is laser focused on making sure the front three is in a line, each with a man, even cleverly switching to the wing to cover for Keskinen at one stage. He's a really intelligent player. Unfortunately, he's not able to do the rest of his job because he's too busy with the management of that part of the game. At some point he needs to start taking the risks and pressing high. I don't think it'll happen though, he's just not a one-up-front kind of guy.

Really solid performance, take that all day long.  A win against Motherwell at home and that is a corner turned perhaps? 

[OrlandoDon]

Didn’t see the game but good result. Interesting how the subs were done, give lazetic and Armstrong an hour then switch, I assume with the weekend in mind. I also think gyamfi got enough time to assess fitness and expect him to start v Motherwell. 
lobban is a really interesting one. With gyamfi fit and lobban playing well, does Jensen go to the bench??
