Dundee v Aberdeen

I've noticed Swaddon has went AWOL.

I hope he hasn't taken the hump at not starting the official match thread.

No, but at least I won't get the blame if we lose.

You say defence, I say our central midfielders have to do more to protect our defence.

They all press up looking to score and a quick upfield punt, usually catches us with our pants down at the other end.

Criminal how many times we have witnessed it under Thelin.

We'll get there though, that I am sure of.

 

Fitba on a Saturday though, happy days.

Aye, it does seem to be the case that they go tanking upfield. Nilsen especially takes a decade to get back in. It's why most of us have been crying out for a midfielder to replace Ramadani. We also have the issue that either Knoester or Devlin push high up, and our midfielders seem incapable of spotting the hole and dropping in to cover. We haven't had a player that would do that since the dirty rat under McInnes, who was very good at covering fullbacks or centre half when they pushed on. It's a disciplined role, so wouldn't suit Shinnie or Clarkson, but it's not difficult. The other option is that we can tell the defenders not to push on as much, and simply push Milne into holding midfield ahead of the two, allowing our midfielders to push right up. A mix of the above that we can seamlessly move from and to would be good. Just needs time on the training pitch.

To me it’s all about midfield. Dominate there and the pressure is off the defense and mitov becomes more of a spectator. The majority of our problems stem from midfield. Lack of competitiveness and we get over run, lack of creativity and support in attack produces so few goals.

Anyone else having redtv issues? Reliably poor for me.

Don't want to jinx it but working perfectly for me so far 

Lively start by both teams in the first ten minutes.

Winning by more than one goal for the first time since, well, Dundee.  Swaddon's position under threat.

[JessianK]

Lobban gets the silly tackling sorted, is he good enough for the World Cup Squad next year

[tlg1903]

Aouchiche has been excellent and not just because of his 2 very well taken goals.  It's certainly the first time I've watched him and thought "maybe he is going to show he's worth the agreed fee". 

[Don Julio]

Nice to see Aouchiche hit the target twice, given he’s seemed to lack composure in front of goal. Seems to be finding his feet.

Good half of football.

You think Devlin might get injured?

[Jormungandr]

Lovely stuff. Shape looks great and the boys are putting in a good shift. One more quick goal will kill it off and make it a very comfortable afternoon.

[The.Moog]

Well that’s much more like it.

Formation, shape, discipline and press has been excellent. Dundee struggling to break us down.

we’ve broken forward much better, midfield and wing back overlaps and players getting in the box - just what you want.

Lazetic has been excellent in the lone striker role. Held it up, put himself about and linked the play. His first touch before the first goal was sublime.

Jensen is actually offering a good outball on the left, he’s just not got a left foot to take proper advantage of it.

More of the same second half please lads, cause this is what we want to see…
