Match Thread Celtic 4 - 0 Aberdeen

[Dal Riata Don]

Offering any form of attack in this game would be better than the last debacle.

I'd like us to have at least 10 shots on goal,

8 on target,

3 or 4 corners,

and a 1-0 win for us. 

Is it too much to ask?

 

[muttonhumper]

A ref other than Willie Collum.

Is that too much to ask?

[Dal Riata Don]

No clues as to personnel for this one: McCrorie still out?

 

                              Gorter

MacDonald Ramadani  Pollock MacKenzie

 Duncan   Clarkson    Shinnie    Coulson

                          Miovski

                               Duk

Why have you moved MacDonald out of CB and put Ramadani there instead?

I wonder if we'll go for a back 3 here with MacDonald, Pollock and MacKenzie. Kennedy and Coulson at wing back. I can't imagine we'll be throwing Richardson back into the squad all of a sudden for this one.

Fair play to you, you definitely think outside the box when it comes to team selections

Nae sure if I'm opening myself up to a whoosh here... but it is Collum.

An interesting team selection 😮

[RUL]

Baffled at folk thinking Mackenzie would be a choice having not played a game in ages. 
 

4/0 or below we move on.

I noticed that MacDonald came over and filled in on the right-hand side during the St Mirren game.

Ramadani and Shinnie tend to get under each other's feet at times. It shouldn't be an either/or but someone has to protect Clarkson and Shinnie will do that job better.

Hold on to your hats.  Rejoice in Kyogo not playing 🤞 and them looking forwards to the LCF.

see you Monday

Definitely. Attack them and we’ll likely lose 5/6 nil. 
 

Definitely not going. 
Fuck this. 

[Zeus]

2-1 to Barry Robsons Dons.

The day it all clicks 

[Roberto]

3 words.

Not interested.

[Joe pike]

3-2 to the good guys

[Dynamo]

Will be avoiding this game and forgetting about the result as quickly as I can.

Ignorance is bliss.

That the time they gifted us the 1-0 win to help us finish above Sevco?

A Considine masterclass.

Well I was there the night we had a huge injury list, turned up to Parkhead and beat Celtic 2-1 with a last minute winner back in 2003. I don’t think Celtic had been beaten for 2 years at home prior to that. The next game at Parkhead we won again with a last minute winner, 3-2. I was at that game too.

With that said, I will never predict an Aberdeen result away at Celtic.

Ah yes. Prunty’s bday 

[ERNIE]

Our lack of defenders is shocking.

Aye made both, fairly sure there was only about 200 at one of them. 

[englishred]

Long as we have a balanced go at them I'll be happy. If we just sit there we'll be pumped 

[Gilwern]

Why are people so up in arms about the last game against Celtic? It's a fairly common strategy to play defensively against vastly superior opponents. You'll see the same thing in every league, including the EPL.

 

[zeroisgod76]

I'd be surprised if this isn't at least 4-0 or 5-0 to Celtic... bare in mind that barring a few changes this'll pretty much be the same squad that conceded 11 in 2 games against Hearts and Hibs. Not looking forward to this one at all.

And it could be argued that it very nearly worked.

But it didn't.

Supporters were robbed that day. The club should have refunded every single one of them their admission fee.

Correct.

It was the beginning of the downfall.

Goodwin should have been immediately sacked for that mentality.

There was at the 2-1 game.
