Which he inevitably won't if he tries those tactics again. They know exactly what is coming which is why it's worth trying something different. But then we don't really have the personnel to try anything too different as all his players are facsimiles of each other. 'So we go with what we've got' But when you see other teams beat these cunts you think for fucks sake come on. I get the impression McInnes frets all week about how to stop the Tims, instead of spending at least half the week working on how to get in about them and beat them. They've rarely been more vulnerable yet he makes them look good, like they did the first half hour last week. Just be aggressive right from the start & have a go FFS. Link to comment

Even when we had a good team he often picked a team with 6 defenders against them. Difference now is he's only got 3 defenders that he picks on a regular basis. Hoban and Considine look absolutely knackered but there's nobody to give them a rest. It's the most unbalanced squad I've ever seen us have. Link to comment

That’s why we shouldn’t fanny about & make the change asap. Link to comment

Well must catch on when Denayer did it, nope. Okay okay, DEFO when Boyata did it, okay... nope. Now, we might get somewhere here, catch on to it when Julien did it, oh... Fuck... Ajer SURELY it must be picked up on then, SURELY... SHIRLEY SURELY. Ah... I give up then. Maybe he was hoping Duffy was going to try it. Link to comment

The Ross County forward stuck tight to Ajer so he couldn't take the ball out of defence and ended up playing sideways to the flanks. The way Celtic were set up they had no great quality out wide so it killed a lot of their threat. Link to comment

Said that on here several times. He’s like that against almost all opposition though, which has become more apparent as the years have gone on. This is a shite Celtic team. We were decent last week when we took the game to them. But why, oh why do we need to go through the overly thought pantomime, then go a goal down before we have a go. Every time we man mark against them, or half press, Ajer is the spare man. Makes the mink look like fucken socrates (Brazilian version that smoked c1982) Link to comment

Tord31 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Thats us as good as qualified for the ECL QR2 tonight. St Mirren 12 Points behind and poorer GD with 24 Points to play for.

Yip - finishing 4th or 5th this season makes very little difference other than slight difference in prize money. Both into Europe at same stage Link to comment

This side will never catch them. Effectively they are five points ahead of us still with a game in hand.

If we can fluke a win against old foes Hamilton then we keep our season alive for another two weeks. If we beat Accies and Hibs drop points in one of their two games in that time then we are interested in gameweek 33 to see what happens. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I think we need to win 6/7 which takes us to 66 points. That allows Hibs to get 13 points and finish on 65 points. 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Fairly impossible but it's not a write off until Ojkempo nods home on Saturday or Lewis lets us down again by for the fourth time this season throwing one in the net. Sack the goalie. Link to comment

Would need to win 7/7 to avoid it being McInnes' worst ever points total at the Dons. I'm not counting the 19-20 season, but that was averaging a really shit 57 points for the 38 games.

aberdeen1970 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 We need to win both of the next two to have any realistic chance of making the Hibs game after the split meaningful. In previous seasons I would be fairly confident we could do that but unfortunately I don't go into any game confident of 3 points now. We can't just expect Hibs to collapse. And even if they do we've still got points to make up. We've also got a pathetic goal difference of +2 compared to their +13. Link to comment

They’re goal difference effectively means we’re 5 behind them and they have a game in hand. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I can picture it now. Hibs game last day. Need the 3 points and 5 goal margin. Dramatic team shift from our 5-4-1 and we're throwing in everyone with goal scoring prowess. Yes folks, its the 93rd minute, we're 1-1, and we're going for it... 1 Link to comment
