Ah, so I was right... he did play well.

I missed the start of the second and thought he'd maybe fucked up.

No he never. Out muscled at every 50/50. 5 out of 10 at best

[redcryptoknight]

In a team where the older experienced players are struggling, where the manager has absolutely no clue what he's doing, any attack on Polvara seems like misdirected anger. He is way, way down the list of those culpable.

Do we just gloss over his inabilities because you think older experienced players are struggling? 

Don't get that logic. 

I can accept any player "struggling" but I don't accept someone refusing to put in a tackle and actively pull out of and shy away from a 50/50 ball. Totally unacceptable attitude. 

[Russell]

He's definitely not too good for us but he would do much better in a better team

[Oregon Red]

I like him, but he really does need to toughen up a bit. The boy has great vision and could be a great player.

He’s truly awful at football 

I couldn't disagree more. He's got very good technique imo.

I've had a go at him but it's only really in response to people claiming he's excellent. Agree, he's down the list of those culpable.

Out the regular players, Roos and Gartenmann are a lot worse than him. And although Clarkson is a very good player, he has been rotten all season and also deserves more blame than Polvara. Shinnie has also been crap of late.

Not many people claiming those players are excellent though, apart from a weird few who claim Roos is the best keeper in the league.

Absolutely dreadful footballer

Aye. See also Keiran Phillips or whatever he's called 

[RUL]

Two talk cunts with zero technical ability. 

[englishred]

I thought he did quite well second half. Playing the way we did first half doesn't suit anyone

Aye, he was better second. 

[aberdeen1970]

Shite first half but came on to a game second half before tiring. Good ball to Miovski for the goal. Played his part. 

[Andy_123]

He’d be a really good player if he wasn’t breathing out his arse at the hour mark every time he plays.

His lack of fitness definitely hinders him

And lack of grit.

I thought Polvara played really well against Celtic. A good quality of his seems to be strength on the ball: warding off the first challenge and making the pass.

[alscotoz]

He's got a football brain. Sometimes communication from said brain to feet takes time. He's worth persevering with, I reckon 

[Redforever86]

It's not his ability that is the issue for me. Just needs time to learn the game here and man up/learn what you can get away with...

Warnock will sort that out.

Yeah he has a touch of class about him.

Lets hope the new coaching team address his weaknesses as their is a proper player in there..

Pass to Mio at weekend was subline, need to see it more often though.

I remain a fan all said

That's a bit much. He played a ball into an acre of space with little pressure on him after Miovski had already started running that channel. Miovski made that goal through his brilliance, not many players even in the top leagues could score from there.

Clarkson's pass for the offside goal is an example of sublime. It wasn't an obvious pass, had to be pin point accurate and perfectly weighted.

Agreed. Actually thought the best part of the goal from Dante's perspective was the touch he took to cut across the Celtic player to put himself into the position for the pass. The pass itself was unremarkable.

That said, the goal is all about Miovski. His best in an Aberdeen shirt for me (and he's scored a few nice ones) and probably the best I've seen from a striker at Aberdeen in a long time. I don't think anyone in the stadium had a clue whether he was going to go right or left when running at the defender, let alone the defender himself. Creates an inch of space and then the finish is sublime.

Ramirez's midfield cousin. Heart of a mouse. Turns his back on every tackle. Not suited for football.

Certainly has that modern American footballer vibe about him. Definitely not suited for Scottish football.

Few assists this season but largely anonymous in most games.

He's pish.  Runs about looking busy to no effect..  The first 25 minutes last night all he done was run behind Motherwell players and hid by them and the ref.

Shit - get rid

All correct.

Nowhere near fit for purpose.

Fucking hell, what a squad full of absolute shite we have assembled.

[Russell]

Similar to Clarkson/McGrath/Barron in that he'd probably do better with someone like, I don't know, Ramadani, doing the dirty work instead of one of the other powderpuff lads.
