Yep on both accounts. A solid looking team with plenty of cover for when Jet forgets to run. It's the sort of side you'd see McInnes playing against the Hun or Tim. Caution and hope to sneak one. Really lacking a striker to take off the bench if things aren't working and I wonder if this one could be a step too far. 6-1, Considine double, Gallagher, Ramsay, Ferguson and Ramirez. In that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicoS321 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Fuck sake, Considine out. Doesn't look good. Nae defenders? Whack on a striker? Nope, none of those either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxfordDon Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Just got the game up and by christ, that pitch. If this was the replacement can only assume it was because the original pitch was ready for harvest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Aberdeen letting the pitch beat them. Qarabag are still making passes and getting through Aberdeen, while as soon as we get it we convince ourselves we can't do anything cos it'll stick on the pitch. It's almost like they've got into our heads. Jet been poor but he has to stay on because with Considine off we're now short in height, so we need him defensively at set-pieces. I'd think about putting on McGeouch to tighten things up through the middle. But, I wonder if Glass has another treble substitution up his sleeve at the break.

Slim Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 We could have done with some fresh legs on the pitch for these past 15 minutes or so. Ramirez and Ojo look fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindon Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Created a lot of our own problems,but reckon theyre beatable.They looked shaky under attack.Should be a good one next week,surely we cant play as poorly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Good result. We had a shocking first half. Much better second half. Jet was an abomination, the whole game hinged on him coming off. He was a complete liability. The entire shape suffered because he can't track back, resulting in Ferguson, Brown and Ojo getting pulled all over the shop. As soon as McLennan came on and started pressuring and marking, our shape was restored. I'm not sure what we do in the next leg, we're not going to create much and Ramirez doesn't have the fitness to mark and make the runs. They were good. We can match them at pittodrie and hope for an opportunity. Disaster for Considine, hope he's okay. Twenty short of third place in the player charts. Doesn't look good. McKenzie excellent in that role and thought Hayes put in a good shift too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect that they and the heat will be too much for us and to be honest right now I would snap your hand off for any result that was no worse than a single goal defeat. anything better than that is a bonus in my opinion. Out Working Red TV Watching more football online 3-0 (no Dons scorer) I hate quoting my own posts but I did say I'd snap your hand off for nothing worse then a one goal defeat so got to be happy enough with that We have a MASSIVE chance to go through here Please believe guys and grasp the opportunity 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Lost to a bang average side which is the most frustrating thing. Got at them more in the second half but goalkeeper has had an easy night. Jet offered nothing in the first half. Ojo was poor, I don't think I've ever seen an Aberdeen player in my life who gives the ball away as often as he does. We need to open contract talks with Calvin Ramsay on the plane home though. Cracking player. Qarabag definitely beatable at home, but problem is we need to beat them by two clear goals really (unless we're planning on going all the way to pens) and we're short in defence and attack. They'll frustrate us at Pittodrie I think unless we manage to get an early goal and have them rocking. At least the away goal rule been scrapped, otherwise they could have ended the tie in the first 10 minutes at Pittodrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Can new signings play in the 2nd leg, or do they need to be registered before the 1st leg? Wasn't much on the bench to come on to make an impact other than McLennan. Although McGinn is usually quite good in those circumstances, keeping the ball in tight spots and passing his way out of trouble and probably experienced in playing those kind of games with Northern Ireland. 2nd leg will be tricky, they look like they could be quite dangerous on the counter attack.

Del was sending him to Atlanta last summer if it hadn't been for Covid Agreed, he was very good. There's probably not much room for improvement in McKenzie, unlike Ramsay, so I don't see him being a guy that'll make us a million but if we'd signed a player that good we'd have been delighted. It's important to note that Greg Leigh was deemed good enough by McInnes. That was the tired approach to dealing with youth that we saw. Leigh was a nothing player. McKenzie might not have been quite good enough at the beginning of the previous season (I don't know), but we didn't need a journeyman in instead of giving him valuable minutes on the park.
