Match Thread Aberdeen V Dundee United (0 - 3)

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Lack of left back - agreed

 

Missing Anderson - where have you been for 2 seasons if you didn't think we would

 

Good willie - twice the touch at close range that Rooney has

 

McGinn at 40% thought this and muttered it for most of Thursday. For those at the match watch McGinns movement at our throws versus GW and pawlett. 40% is generous.

 

Still, get 1 and we'll get another.

[barassie_afc]

Expected to just turn up and win today ? Sounds like it

[CalgaryDon]

At least Hayes and ando will be back for Wednesday and hopefully Rooney starts.

[dj_bollocks]

Not a single shot on target yet...

[dj_bollocks]

Anderson not starting on Wednesday because of the plastic pitch apparently #knees

[northernlights]

Painful listening online. I'm not so surprised by the scoreline since Hayes is our best play-maker and Anderson is our best defender and we are missing both. We are clearly exhausted after Thursday. Dundee Utd have got their tactics spot on picking us-off on the brake with their fresher and sharper players. These games are always tight and the first goal is normally critical. You cannot afford to gift a goal to the opposition. We can also clearly improve on our final ball/set pieces.

 

Lets put this one down to fatigue/missing players and hope for a much better performance on Wed.

 

COYR!

no rusty on killies pitch..although if taylors is the new tate as it appears DM might have to strap up rustys knees and send him out.

[The Oxford Don]

Jesus H.

[Bobby Connor]

That's the positive momentum well and truly fucked then. Depressing as fuck.

[paddy]

Oh dear. That was very poor. Worst possible start to the season.

[barassie_afc]

Gubbed fkn gubbed you will need to up your game mcinnes

[a don in oz]

Dopey useless bastards. 3-0 at home to United is never acceptable.

[lukas989]

Glad we're away next time out. We cant play at home.

[baconman]

Hopefully this will kick AFC up the arse now! Piss poor. I dont even want to hear excuses about being tired after Thurs game. AFC should be match fit and ready for it unlike Utd.

[Tommy]

What a fuckin disgrace, a wake up call to management

and players.

[RUL]

This place genuinely puzzles me. Predicting a title charge 2 days ago but now the players have been given a reality check....maybe it's the fans who have been given one?

 

Roll on weds night

[Bobby Connor]

Every time we get a bit of momentum and the future is looking rosy with the fans back behind the team we throw in a result like this. So fucking annoying!

[Dynamo]

Very poor today.

 

Thought Taylor while selling Langfield short for their first, won't really deserve the slagging he's gonna get.

 

Robson however, complete mince, caught on the ball trying to draw in a foul which led to their second.

 

We were pretty pish in spite of those errors and deserved to get beat.

[baconman]

Hopefully this is warning sign that we need at least 1 or 2 more signings. Left back and midfielder. Goodwillie maybe has another two or three games to prove his worth!

[tightbreeks]

we need to start winning at home on a regular basis, it's a must. mcinnes needs to suss this out and find a way to win if everyone does their job.

[elephantstone78]

This.

All the talk of 2nd place and cup wins has gone to their heads. You need to earn these rewards.

I am all for giving players the benefit of the doubt but I would give goodwillie and Taylor 2 more games max to prove their worth. If they don't show some improvement then bench them. Then punt them. Then shoot them

[super_al]

Well what a start that was.

 

Hearts and Dundee Utd have made far better signings. What a joke. Totally unacceptable!@

Apart from a couple of errors, i thought Taylor

did ok, won practically every ball.

Goodwillie needs a run of games. I'd be criticising

McGinn before either of them.

[barassie_afc]

We need better midfielders, low hasnt improved and looks fat and should be punted

[Bamber]

So disappointed with that on so many levels

 

I said before the match put in even 1/3rd of the effort of Wednesday and we'll be fine and that I stick with

 

Defence was an absolute shambles it really was and this is whgat I really don't get and Mcinnes doesn't get much criticism but I have to seriously question him today

 

Before we even started the final 15 mins was going to be very hard for us - and so it turned out at 60 mins even - united were running and we could hardly walk - logan and jack especially were dead on their feet. Mcginn tried about 6 times to bend a ball and he hit every single one straight

 

So we obviously would have a plan for the tired ness that would arrive at the 75 min point that arrived early?

 

Well it seems leave all the knackered players out for as long as possible and only use two subs

 

What was wrong with Monkana? what was wrong with smith? we needed some more energy in the middle and players were knackered and we didn't get it - we got Low put to Left back

 

A shockingly bad display and poor use of substitutes for me

 

Everyone was awful from manager to players - but we didn't seem to have a plan for this game for when the obvious tiredness appeared

[StevieT1986]

Flood and robson were fucking shocking. Taylor wasn't too bad but his head went down after his mistake for their 1st.

 

Said it numerous times robson, flood and jack in the team necer works you loose width on one side and hopefully now mcinness realises we need to make a proper lb our priority

[super_al]

Who gives a shit about hearts they're not in this league.

 

 

 

The point is that a team in a lower league were able to make considerably better signings than us. Further proof that we were poor in the transfer market this summer.

[Dynamo]

That's your opinion.

 

Who are these 'considerably better signings'? Can't be Gomis, he was awful for united when he played last season.

[caledonia]

No use blaming anyone but the manager no matter how good he has been since he came here

 

Rooney should have started last two games but was on the bench

Someone needs to be asking why
