TheRock Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Logan's yellow card was one of the worst things I've ever seen. I guess maybe he thought the ball was going out and by the time he realised it wasn't, the Dundee guy who bothered to chase it at a faster pace than light jog was well ahead of him. We had a lot of moments today that happen to teams completely devoid of confidence and when nothing seems to be going right. Worrying. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 He's got a bigger squad this year than last year even with the injuries and suspensions. Plus the loons he had to bench and bring on last year have a year more of first team experience. He's signed or given contract extensions to every single one of the players he's got. We've got more than enough players to cope with St Mirren and Dundee between euro games. He has to look in the mirror this time. But he probably won't 1 Link to comment
DelMonte Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Despite having little faith left in McInnes, it'll do the team good to have a full week training. These players aren't shite. Manager needs to work out his best team quickly. Link to comment
Ernie McCracken Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Seems like the team was getting into a nice rhythm early in the season, then McInnes decides to interrupt that flow by deciding that for Rijeka away we were gonna employ tactics that had us playing like a team terrified of attacking and waiting to lose. And it has taken the team the guts of three subsequent games to recover from this. Onwards and upwards McInnes, let's try and maintain the teams confidence rather than destroy it with uber negative tactics. 2 Link to comment
fifered Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Eyebleedingly bad today. A team that is completely lacking in creativity, composure and guts. This constant humping the ball up to cosgrove by Lewis is abysmal. Even if cosgrove was capable of winning the headers, which 90% of thr time he isn't, there is rarely anyone near him anyway. I'm fairly certain we didnt register a shot on target in the first half. I can't understand what thr fuck mcinnes is trying to do with this team. The introduction of mclennan deano and Wilson made a difference for sure. Mclennan created more problems in about 50 minutes of football than hedges McGinn and gallacher have done combined in 3 or 4 games. We are screaming out for change in this team. That settled 11 Mcinnes seems to have fallen on isn't working. I see the argument for a second striker but I think instead we need an additional central mid. Always thought our best team was when we had Jack McLean and shinnie in a 3 and we had more control games. 3 out of ojo Ferguson Bryson and deano should be starting with mclennan and another on the wings. Mcinnes is such a stubborn prick though he'll not make any changes. 1 Link to comment

Topdonkenny Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Brilliant! Retain players and finish 6th; says a lot about retention policy! Such confidence from a supporter of a side who struggled to even qualify from a League Cup group-stage! Is Craig having an affair with Budge; if not then why still in a job? Did you see the defeat at Pittodrie and home game v County? Non-entity you are! Link to comment

It didn't look like a one off. You don't mind shite performances once and a while, as long as there's a willingness to improve and we're having a go. I'll be honest, i'm almost glad we're out of Europe. it gives us a week to regroup and prepare for the next game, our squad is clearly not good enough to be rotated about. Maybe this struggle will be the kick up the arse we need (could have said that after the St Mirren game though!) Link to comment

Problem was poor contract management allowing a lot of our best players, and the spine of our best footballing sides of recent years, leave for little or nothing. Imagine Stockley, Cosgrove and Rooney as our 3 rotating strikers. Shinnie, McLean and Ferguson midfield 3. That would be a brilliant squad. 1 Link to comment
