I suspect that you may be mistaken or misinterpreting the formation as yesterday certainly wasn't a back 5. 

Started with 3CBs and a LWB and a RWB.

The B in all that is for Back. They are all defenders. If you want to pretend that they aren't that's fine. No Dani Alves or Jordi Alba in this team 😂

Eh? Devlin was in the box more than Duk yesterday

That made me laugh out loud.

It's a 3 at the back we play with 5 midfielders? 😂

Your point is that as the wingbacks were pushing right up it means you are not actually playing a 5-3-2? 

We play with 5-3-2. The only time I can remember in recent games was the last 15/20min away to hearts that we actually played another formation. 

Just to confirm, we play with a 5-3-2

No, my point is that Devlin is Dani Alves. You may continue arguing with yourself.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to make it to Pittodrie yet this season. 

I've seen games on TV, highlights, and listened to a few on the radio.

Oor Willie Miller, who art on BBC (hallowed be thy tache) did say on Sunday that he thought it was more a five at the back than a three that day, with the wingbacks sitting further back when we didn't have the ball and pushing forward when we did.

He noted that as a result Jensen and Gartenmann weren't being forced to move out wide to cover and so the three CBs were tighter, and in Ruby's case he was able to simply defend the centre without doing anything complicated and looked more solid.

That's what I remember from the radio coverage at least.  I could have been drunk/high/having an episode and shagging your mum/wife/girlfriend/daughter/sister/aunt/dog at the time, so my memory might not be the clearest

There's parts of this post that are truly brilliant

Notwithstanding the possible shenanigans you describe I can confirm categorically that your recollection of Willie`s assessment of the defensive formation is 100% correct.

[Durrant Dived]

Get him signed up. Will be class with Jensen in a back 4 when the next manager/Robson starts playing 4 at back.

[Sheeptastic]

Watching his presser. A player of genuine quality who is really happy to be here. Doesn't see himself as a world beater but feels the qualities he does have (ie graft) are more appreciated here than in Denmark. Hope we're working on a permanent deal already.

These are fucking horrendous.

To hear what the question is you have to blast the volume up, then before Barry replies you have to get the volume back down afore he replies or your speakers and eardrums are fucked.

Complete amateur set-up.

So you just end up listening to Barry talking interspersed with mumbling gypes saying fuck knows what.

Horrendous. Have to try and guess what he's been asked.

HAND THE PRESS GUY A MICROPHONE FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

[King Street Loon]

Just watched his pre match interview. 

He's a confident laddie.

[Johnnyred1]

Why do the interviewers on red TV make huge obvious statements instead of asking an actual question. It's so cringingly embarrassing.

His maradona spin on the edge of his own  18 yard box 1-0 down at Tynecastle is testament to that!

Aye.

They are just not very bright, is my wild guess.

Haha yep

Doesn't really tie in with his recent interview about "having limitations " and "being comfortable with them"

[Snelders Snottters 89]

We honestly need to offer Midtjylland 900k - 1M. He's immense.

[Ernie McCracken]

Seriously who the fuck is this guy? Talks the talk and walks the fucking walk!

[aberdeen1970]

He's exactly the type of guy we needed

And the rest. Total turnaround since he came into the side 

[Rico1903]

The fear was we weren’t going to replace Pollock with the same quality. We have. 

[Dons79]

Get him signed up long term immediately please

[Mouzer]

He has been brilliant, huge difference since he got going. 

[Millertime]

Talked the talk pre match and boy did he walk the walk during the match 

Proper man, as Robson says haha

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Hope we’re trying to get him signed permanently behind the scenes. 
Like him & Jensen 

Those calm Scandinavian heads might keep the mad Serb in check
