Exglasgowasc Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Not confident tonight. Aberdeen half time Motherwell full time might be worth a shout. Big Dons support again tonight. I fear another let down. Not played consistently well this season and after the first twenty five minutes last week we went into our shell and produced a very flat performance with no urgency, flair or penetration. Killie did however play well in the second half and a better side would have beaten us. Rode our luck at Murrayfield the week before too.

sbcmfc Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Skybet offering 6/1 on Motherwell to win and Louis Moult to score. Id be surprised if we won and he didn't score. I'm on that and 'well -1 at 9/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they will improve but the manager needs to work out his best team soon and get them settled. Motherwell look solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Brilliant stuff from Motherwell tonight. Aberdeen were poor. Motherwell seemed to win every 50/50, bit fortunate with the 2 quick goals, but never looked back after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish he'd floated down the Kelvin and signed for the first junior side he passed. The only player who got pass marks was Christie, the rest were a complete embarrassment. That type of defeat has been coming for a while, Mcinnes making too many changes, players not giving the same effort.

Mox Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I have been pretty critical of McInnes on here at times, maybe overly so, but I really get the impression he just doesn't know what to do with this team. He's easily got the the second best attacking force in the league, but like many Scottish managers doesn't know how best to harness their creativity and let them express themselves and his negligence of the defence has been crminal at times. I know Shinnie has done very well in midfield but he's the second best left back in the league and should play there, meaning Considine is nowhere near the starting 11, which would be a huge bonus. Motherwell on the other hand look very good, could become a staple on the old weekend accumulators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What this says Ive had many a row with people in and out of stadiums about how useless he is and all I ever get is "if he was that bad, he wouldn't be playing every week", well now, he's not that bad, he's worse, absolutely fvcking rank, offers nothing apart from pointing fingers and shirking responsibility. Waste of a shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go as far as that but McLean hasn't come close to justifying his transfer fee, his Scotland cap (although I've met plenty of fans who think he's crap yet deserves more call ups) and his inclusion in the first team for every game. We've spent the last 3.5 years trying to find a way of accommodating him. He obviously has talent but he doesn't have the consistent goal threat to play off the striker or the bite and positional sense to play deeper. We've seen him play both roles this season with either Christie being dropped or pushed out wide or Tansey dropped to the bench. At no point has the thought entered that we could drop him. We had similar problem last season when Madison joined. He couldn't play McLean deeper as we had Jack and Shinnie so he dropped McGinn and played Madison out wide which ruined our style of play. To be fair McLean isn't the only problem this season. Derek is going back through this changing and fiddling of players and systems he does at the start every season. We all know we're still at our best with a 4-2-3-1 which we played before the international break. Lewis in goal, Logan right back, Considine left back, O'Connor center back, Shinnie center midfield, Christie support striker, May striker. 7 positions which should never change unless injury. Only question is Arnason or Reynolds at center back. Ball (I'm not convinced), Tansey or McLean beside Shinnie. Wright, Mackay-Steven or Stewart out wide.

I commend your restraint and sense of reasonableness. Agree with your formation. I'm probably just about done with Considine at left back.

Considine is most definitely not a left back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
