Distribution/passing

[TwoStars]

The one consistent thing this season other than being so inconsistent is the quality of passing and distribution.

 

Time and time again we are let down with the passing and so called 'long balls' that are so bad nobody even bother chasing them down. Reynolds and Hector are both worthy a Dons shirt but are both let down by their passing. Though they are by far not the only ones, they seem to stick out more given their position at the start of each play.We seem to almost get away with it in some matches but when it comes to the crucial matches and/or the crucial time of matches it just get's beyond a joke.

 

Something McInnes need's to adress ASAP.

I think that Reynolds's distribution/passing is alright to be honest. However I do agree with Hector, he seems to panicking and just punt a hopeless ball up the pitch when he's in possession.

Sometimes yes the defences passing is shite but so many times in the last couple of games our midfielders have been far too close to them and forwards idle.

Pittodrie is not the biggest park but surely some space can be found. Off the ball running is just as important as with the ball, very few Scottish teams have yet to master this

We were playing a very high line yesterday and unless there was room in midfield and / or someone was looking for it short this forces the hit and hope ball which i agree can be frustrating to watch. I would rather they got rid rather than getting caught in possession and hit on the break because of the high line. Someone should sit deep so if the short pass is not on the ball can be played back. Only problem with that is do you trust langfield if forced to pass backwards.............i would say no.

It's a huge problem. A blast into the stands (normally from Reynolds) instead of a simple pass to the goalkeeper is all to familiar. A claer lack of trust.
