Match Thread Aberdeen 3 - 1 Motherwell

[aberdeen1970]

First win at home in 2019.not fkn good enough, some might say.

Hamilton and St Mirren in particular. That should have been 5 points better off and we'd be in a much more comfortable place Europe wise.

 

21 points behind Celtic though is miles off the pace. 9 defeats is far too much after 32 games. Celtic and the Huns have lost 4 and 5.

 

A cup win would make up for it though.

[Hewitt a the pies]

I thought he created a few chances for us.

 

What more impact do you want a player to have than scoring 2 goals? I honestly don't understand what you mean. He was hiding when he took a one two in the last minute and bagged it top peg? You're talking drivel. He's guilty of being anonymous but he was by far and away the most influential player on the pitch last night. Folk love to hate him but he's got the best footballing ability in our squad imo. Great servant to our wonderful club, even if he does my head in at times.

I certainly don't hate him and also think he's one of our most gifted players when he's in the mood. Just my opinion last nights game. If you want to use 'anonymous' that's fine. Don't get over excited about my opinion.

[shut up meg]

We were poor going forward, there's no doubt about that.

 

That's what you get when you go with 7 defensive style players in the starting line up.

What?

[minijc]

What?

Yeah, it's actually 8 including the keeper, no surprise that we done better once we brought another attacking option on.

Amuse me. Who are the 8 defensive types?

 

I presume some mongo is going to say Shinnie when he's a box to box player. None of the starting midfield 3 are defensive. Campbell sat further back dictating the play but it's hardly a defensive role FFS.

You've gone full happy clapper mate, none of the midfield 3 are attack minded, to say otherwise is completely mental.

[Parklife]

Ferguson is as attack-minded as he is "defensive".

[Foster14]

We scored 74 goals in 2016/17 (highest in a 38 game season and highest since 93/94) with a midfield trio of Jack, Shinnie and McLean.  I'm pretty sure that would have been classed as 8 defensive players as well...

Anyone with a brain knows that McLean was better suited with an attacking role, also helped that we had Rooney and Hayes then in their prime, compared to now with Cosgrove (lol) and old man Mcginn.

[Foster14]

Yet Ferguson has scored more league goals this season than McLean did in that season.  Or any other central midfielder for that matter (depending on how you class Christie's usage that season).

[TheRock]

Every midfielder who plays under McInnes is going to have quite a lot of defensive duties.

Agreed, and if midfielder doesn't include winger, you can add that too!

 

Doesn't mean they are defensive players though.

Making a cunt of yourself here.

[boboisared]

I never said they were attack minded either.

 

You don't have to do one or the other!

[boboisared]

Of course it doesn't. It's just another stick to beat the manager with after a win.

It doesn't, but I don't blame people for forgetting.

A fair assessment.

[Ke1t]

Thought Well looked organized and hard working, but not on our level.

[The Cockney Don]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas.

 

[Ke1t]

Fair looked like McGinn had skied the second goal. 

[Chewie37]

Those highlights certainly make us look very defensive.........also shame for the fans who leave before the end when we score a goal late on

[tightbreeks]

There must be a statto out there (it's coming home baddiel and skinner) for us oldies. Who could work out what position we would be in if we managed to play well at home in 2019. Yet again, another chanced missed to make decent go at least at second place. The huns are pish so second place is still there.

We’d be second......

[GDON21]

For as bad as some of the results have been, McInnes has won the same amount of domestic games this season as Gerrard.
