Match Thread Aberdeen 0 - 1 Celtic

[fine-n-dandy]

Will JG show them fear/too much respect again like the opening game?

Will he go for it or will it be a case of damage/GD limitation 

 

Would be a perfect time to beat them. Even more so if Hibs were to take something off Huns on Thursday 

[bonzodaddy73]

I see nothing but defeat for us here. Our defence is shite for want of a better word. 

[sooth_stander]

No Scales, so only 2 centre halves, if you class McCrorie as one.

Can’t see how Goodwin continues with a back 3 unless Jack McKenzie plays the Scales role.

 

[Ten Caat]

I think he'll go with a back 4 for this one, McCrorie covering for Scales and Richardson back in the side at right back.

Pointless us sitting back and trying to hit them on the break. All that would do is ensure they'd have something like 20-30 attempts on goal and you'd imagine at least 3 would go in. Just have a go at them, their defence isn't great. I'd rather lose 5-2 having at least attempted to be constructive than 3-0 having attempted to shitfest a draw from the game

[The Cockney Don]

1-1.

[Footballs coming Rome]

Would like to see a back 4 and a midfield 4 with two quick wingers ready to counterattack. Barron and Ramadani deep with Duk playing the 10 role a bit deeper and miovski up top. 

Don’t think we want to make the same mistake as we didn’t against Rangers at ibroke. 

[thurso]

Heart says 2-1 Aberdeen head not so sure about that. 
 

Really need to have a go at them can’t be sitting back like the last two games against them and sevco already this season. 

[RAZOR]

Bit strange we never got the chance to get some friendlies under our belt during the break. No Scales will be also be a big loss.

Hopefully the rest has done them good and the home form continues but I'm not confident.

Thought there was the usual St Johnstone kick about arranged?

 

[GeorgeStreetReds]

McCrorie at centre-back is not filling me with confidence.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Happy to eat my words but reckon he’ll treat it the same way as august which for us was apparently a training game to get our fitness up for the following week.

0-2

[Dal Riata Don]

(Back to proper football - at long last)

In this type of game Goodwin gets to try out a few new ideas (and has to due to Scales), under the proviso well it's Celtic isn't it?

He'll revert to 3-5-2 in the second half but I'd expect something different first half including some amount of player rotation.

Can't wait,

COYRs. 

[aberdeen1970]

He might play Mackenzie instead of Scales and leave the other two centre backs where they are. 

 

[zeroisgod76]

Can't see anything other than a defeat... 0-3.

 

[The Gee Man]

If we can keep it tight and build into the game we have a chance, very slim but a chance. Lose an early goal and it’s curtains. Hoping 2-2, but probably 1-3

[Helmet]

Suicide for us to play the set up we were before the break,  it sure is even call it a 352. More like 3142 with no tracking back.

Presumably Goodwin knows this and we play 4 or even 5 at the back.

Agree not a fan of a set system, play the team in front of you. Maybe a 532 one game, 352 when required and even 433 etc. play to your strengths or weaknesses.

Assumed they would have but haven't seen/read anything about it. As I say, odd. Had plenty of opportunities.

Don't bother coming at all. 
 

Fairweather cunts like yourself are the woats.

[CCB III]

Looking forward to getting back. 
 

Not looking forward to the match at all. 
 

Perhaps JG is completing some sort of tactical overhaul, hence why he didn't want any friendlies played.

 

Either a stroke of genius or naively foolish. 
 

Any sort of positive result would be a bonus. 

[maryhilldon]

We'll get skelped. Usual.

i reckon this. 

[WesthillWanderersFC]

The Tims love playing us at Pittodrie, because we usually roll out the red carpet for them & sit off & admire them.

Dons 1 - 3 Tims

 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Hun game on Thursday will have a bearing too (why Thursday btw, tele?)

if they lose that the Tims will be absolutely feverish.

No chance the Huns lose at home to Hibs.

Hibs are fucking rotten. 

2-0 or 3-0 the scum. 

[Ten Caat]

I agree Hibs are shite but for some unknown reason they generally seem to do better against the arse cheeks than we do. Theoretically they should take a pumping on Thursday night but it wouldn't be at all surprised to see them leave with a point.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Agreed.  Beale will go one of two ways.  Hopefully it’s the tragically out of depth, bubble burst, actually horse shit direction.

[BaaBaaRedSheep]

We ain't going to get anything from the Tims. Damage limitation, not exerting too much effort and get after the Huns in the next game.
