Sevco are extremely ordinary and beaten today by a side that didn't turn up. Unless you are a hun of course. I can only assume O'conner was booked for farting. He was fouled yet conceded a free kick and gained a yellow card for his troubles. Beaton was stinking and embarrassingly one sided all game.

Rossy Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Back to the game. Hard to believe how poor we were today. For the second game in a row, I reckon Mcinnes got the team and the formation wrong. Pawlett was playing further forward than Rooney who had dropped back to the halfway line as we were being swamped in midfield. Pawlett hasn't kicked a ball in over 2 years and I can't see him being at Pittodrie much longer. I still don't think Hayes is 100% fit and McGinn has been playing football almost constantly for 2 years now and desperately needs a break. Logan looked subdued and uncertain, and first half the whole team looked nervous. I think the 'occasion' got to them a bit. Second half was better as Maddison gave us (a bit) more control going forward, but we still sat back far too deep and invited Rangers on to us. Thankfully O'Connor, Reynolds and Considine were on good form today and that kept us sane. I shudder to think what chaos could have ensued if Taylor had started.

Guest faircity Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Seems harsh to criticise McInnes after a great week but I feel he is far too cautious and appears to restrict his players from expressing themselves. Rangers are shit, make no mistake, yet we showed them a level of respect way above their worth. Lewis had one scrappy save to make and thats about it, Rangers probably played their best game of the season and we were fortunate but on a good day we would rip them to shreds with ease given the freedom to play.

I don't think they're shit....they actually play some very good passing football under Warburton. They don't have any real cutting edge though.

harrystarfish Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 We were shite today, and we still won. Brilliant goals from the Dons, usual penalty for the hundead. Most surprising thing post-match is the amount of celtic fans on facebook bragging about our win. 2 cheeks of the same symbiotic arse indeed.

The 'managing leads' thing really annoys me. Once we're 1 up we seem to sit back and expect to sit it out to FT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like they have watched a Guardiola team play and thought they can mirror it. In principle its great, but with ponderous shite like Clint "what on earth do I have to do to get booked" Hill it simpy cannot work. Possession is great but Lewis was busier against Saints midweek and I suspect he wont have a quieter afternoon all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have any real cutting edge though. You have summed up our season so far in these 2 sentences. We have played some decent passing stuff but against the better teams we've struggled badly even to hit a decent shot on target. Definitely need to up the pace at which we play or top 6 will be a struggle. At the start of the season I was looking for top 4 now I'm not so sure.

AberdeenAngus Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Well as I thought very I couldn'the make the game. Forgot to record it but have seen the highlights which appear to be enough to see going by reports. Appears it wasn't a free kick but that happens in the game. My bugbear with all managers and in this case Warburton is they are quick to complain if a wrong call costs them but they never seem to admit when a wrong call goes in their favour for a win. Good week Aberdeen results wise but still a good bit short of hitting top form. Plenty of room for improvement.

northernscum Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 This must be even more galling for the Rangers supporters when opposition clubs fans are complaining that their teams are not playing very well, meanwhile they are still all taking points off the Ibrox men! Looks like they are finding the transition up from the championship to the premiership a wee bit too hot to handle at the moment. Even the "siege mentality" card isn't helping, the premiership players and managers are just a wee bit too cute to fall for the same old, same old tactics that Warburton uses. Looks like they may need the winter window even more than ever now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I think it's a wee bit early to be righting off Ragers. They aren't going to win the league obviously. Celtic will win by at least 12 points, IMO. But most folk seem to think they have had a shit start to the season and yet they are only 3 points off 2nd place. They've only lost 2 games so far - both of them away to the top 2 from last year. Long way to go yet. Dons fans shouldn't get too cocky until they win at Ibrox.

EddardStark Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Despite a poor start we are only three points of second place. Lots of points being dropped from second place down. Need to get a winning run going pretty soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year lost heavily to Celtic and today to Aberdeen. One cup win against a dreadful Celtic shouldn't mask the fact he hasn't won too many big matches.

Interesting indeed seeing the very same dons fans when it is the Hun manager doing it. No prob sit seems. All their managers wear suits. All their Catholic players who used to bless themselves at previous clubs stop when they sign for the worlds most successful club. And those in the media who try and tell the truth about them (Spence/Speirs) suddenly disappear from radio/TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
