Match Thread Aberdeen 0 - 2 St Johnstone

[Reed or deed]

Are you being serious?

Aye. What the fuck has it got to do with training facilities?

 

All you need is a fucking park and some cones.(and a couple of jumpers)

The cunts have more facility in terms of gym equipment, conditioning, nutrition and physio than they have ever had in the past.

[Guest]

That didn't seem to matter when we were winning everything in Scotland and European trophies?

And to say they have no training facilities is just shite. They have more facility now than ever before.

No one else had training grounds then either. So it was all a level playing field.

 

Other teams will be better equipped to develop an identity and develop and understanding with their players.

 

Still, we're shite cause of horrible signings.

What the fuck?

[The Oxford Don]

FFS the problem is NOT strikers. Christ, Marco van Basten in his prime would struggle to get goals in that team.

 

The problems are all in midfield. We are devoid - utterly devoid - of creativity and until that’s resolved things are not going to improve.

 

Did we really need THREE defensive midfielders in the starting line-up for a home game against St Johnstone!?

[starryfish]

Gleeson, Forrester and Wilson. Three of the main reasons that we are mid table and largely mediocre

[Just Dandy]

Scunnert.

 

Beat Sevco, Hamilton, Killie & Hibs - then get thrashed by Motherwell.

 

Run Celtic close at Hampden, smash the Huns at Ibrox - then round it off with a 2-0 home defeat to St Johnstone.

 

We seem to have an almost miraculous ability to shoot ourselves in the foot, just as soon as we're starting to get it together...

[old sheep]

The crux of our problems is that we have a midfield 3 who are all about stopping the opposition and a front 3 who are unable to create chances for themselves. Not rocket science that we need someone who can link the two. We are stuck with the problem till January unless McInnes throws Forrester a lifeline and he is able to put his personal issues aside and start justifying his transfer fee.

[Reed or deed]

We can't string more than 3 passes together.

 

Shay Logan has been one of the worst offenders lately. Just panics and kicks it up the park in a general direction.

Pretty sure Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Hamburg had training grounds, but we humped them no problem. Decent training facilities and grounds are always desirable, but they will never improve shit players and we have far too many of them at this moment in time.

[PondHopper]

Has GMS every played any center mid? Maybe I'm nuts, but why not get him the ball as much as possible to attack or create? 

[AllyDon]

Get them back training on the beach. Good enough for the team of the 80's and might sort a few of them out.

Where Russel Anderson also rehabilitated himself under instruction of John Sharp.

[Mr John]

Maybe best to stay off here. We are having a shite season and suddenly the club is in turmoil. A few of you should take a few hours before posting.

This is normal stuff in this loony bin dude.

Also dreadful at taking throw-ins. Has been for some time and can't understand why we persist with him taking them.

[scottymc]

Pull your head out of McInnes arse.

Bit harsh. I’ve regularly had a go at Mcinnes so I’m not his biggest fan. We had a crackin result on Wednesday and today has been a bit shit. St Johnstone are no mugs though. Every team has upped their game.

 

If Mcinnes doesn’t sort the striker situation in January then I will be right on his case yet again.

[V for Vendetta]

So after a few weeks of a virtual ban on anyone criticising McInnes are we allowed a bit of balance in this again?

 

He's a decent but flawed manager. Simple as that really.

[scottymc]

This is normal stuff in this loony bin dude.

Agreed. Ridiculous at times.

[Stoneybloke]

Gleeson, Forrester and Wilson. Three of the main reasons that we are mid table and largely mediocre

Why single them out. Yes, their contributions have been largely ineffective but we have no one else than can do any better. Or have we?

[Ten Caat]

McGeogh sat on the bench @ Sunderland. Lets revisit.

 

You seriously believe we could match the wages he's trousering every week there?

 

Nae terrific

[King Street Loon]

We wouldn’t know as he’s not had a run of games

He'll do the same as the other strikers. Fuck all because we don't create anything for the strikers from midfield.

As someone else mentioned we could have van Basten in his prime playing but he would struggle given the zero service created from midfield and out wide.

We're fucking rotten in midfield.

Throw in Gleeson and Forrester and afford them the same time and trust he has given golden child Ferguson and see how they get on. They've not had a proper chance and it's time for McInnes to stop playing favourites and arrest this slump.

[starryfish]

McInnes has obviously decided that they aren’t good enough to start - he is the one who signed them.

[Tord31]

dont pick the team I've named and you pay the price.

 

Ever onwards to Tuesday

Lowe will go back to Derby in January then we can play Shinnie left back and give Gleeson and Forrester a run of games to see what they can do. Might not work out but at least we can say we tried.

[Stoneybloke]

McInnes has obviously decided that they aren’t good enough to start - he is the one who signed them.

Yes, his recent signings have been poor to say the least. With him being in tiotal control of the footballing side, there are no obvious checks and balances on whether new recruits are actually good enough. There seems to be no evidence of a scouting network. The buck stops with McInnes.

[Tord31]

Maybe if we'd played a 4th sitting midfielder we would not have conceeded the goals in the way we did.

[V for Vendetta]

We wouldn’t know as he’s not had a run of games

We don't need to give him a run of games to know that.

 

What we need is a good and experienced, absolutely fucking up for it goal scorer.

 

Anderson may become that, but right now he is better suited to complementing such a player (if we only had on for him to complement)

[RUL]

Thought it would be a hard game. Makes next 4 games even more season defining.

Whatd the good and experienced, absolutely fucking up for it goal scorer going to do with the dog shit service he'll get? He'd be lucky to get even that under the current set up.

He been shite for ages.

Bring Jack Grimmer hame.
