Match Thread Motherwell 2 - 4 Aberdeen

[a don in oz]

We've switched off here because we're winning and they got a second out of nothing.

[sooth_stander]

Slack in the 2nd half 

[perthshirered]

Hate it when this kinda thing happens. 

[scottymc]

We just switched off. Game was well and truly won. 

[DelMonte]

Second half been pathetic. 

[aberdeen1970]

A welcome 3 points. 

[redstrummer]

slack as fuck

Rather spoiled what was a good win. Need to keep focus for the full 90+ minutes.

[Granite95]

Great win especially given how poorly we've been playing of late

Sloopy two goals to concede at the end

[zeroisgod76]

Good win. 3 points. Poor that we switched off last 10 mins.

[fine-n-dandy]

Robsonball second half. Knew that technical problem with VAR giving Robson extra time to talk to players would have an affect 

[DelMonte]

1st half was brilliant but slack second half. 

[Awayfromhomered]

Ah well, good win, much better performance. Roll on Saturday 👊

[AyrshireSheep]

Motherwell are so shite yet still scored twice. Yes one was a deflection.

Good to see us score 4 and try to play more football.

Still...Robson out. 

[minijc]

Shame we switched off a bit in the second half but a great result and a very good performance overall.

[Helmet]

Hmmm.

Didnt see it and not sure what to make of that result other than some better football played it seems and the 3 points both very welcome.

As always, it’s a case of watching what comes next now.

[Galloways Cucumber]

3 goals conceded in last 20 mins v Moussaka mob.

2 goals conceded in last 10 mins v this lot.

 

WAKE UP DON'S FFS

[Willo flood]

Happy with that. Motherwell were terrible, easily the worst team we’ve played this season. 

Need to kick on now. If we play the same style as we did against Killie, Hearts etc again after that I will throw myself into the dee

Total nonsense. Some great build up play in both halfs. Clarkson very impressive tonight. Concern re the goals we are losing. Some poor individual mistakes have cost us goals in a number of games lately.

4-0 the Dandy Dons, and we begin our march up the table and away from the relegation spots by playing some of the most exciting passing football since Barcelona perfected Riki Tiki Taka. 

Fucking close, like. 

 

[Russell]

Passing the ball, letting our best players dominate, no long throws in to the box, a completely and utterly shite refereeing performance in our favour? Oh my.

[CCB III]

I'll excuse the second half of the second half and chalk that up to tiredness. 3 games in 6 days. 
 

 

Over the piece an excellent performance, if we can do that against 9/11 other teams in the league we'd be comfortably 3rd. 
 

Some lovely football tonight and the exact kind of things I want to see from Aberdeen. Onwards and upwards.

Ref allowed Motherwell to try turn game nasty second half. Shocking officiating overall. Could easily have led to some injuries 

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Did not see that coming .

We were good & comfortable, Motherwell were fucking awful.

4-2 flattered Motherwell. 

Is 5-4-1 our go to formation now?  

Looks that way.

And we played passes. On the ground. 
More of this please. 

[Rubin]

only saw the second half

looked  a mixed bag -  still pretty wasteful & hoofing at times

 tempo was much better & we  closed down motherwell pretty quick although their passing wasn't too bad either

our passing accuracy was 79 % in first half   way higher than our usual

I've  a feeling Robson has been told in no uncertain terms of what is expected.

It will take a while for the player to retain better habits of passing though

we did look somewhat more cohesive

 

 

[Footballs coming Rome]

Good result. Need to close these games out better.

He booked four of them in about 10 minutes. 

He shat it towards the end when a second yellow could easily have been given to their forward.

Shat it from a few other bookings. Probably out of fear of game being abandoned

[DD1903]

Again so much better with the ball on the ground.

Isn’t it funny how when you play more of a possession based game, you don’t get fatigued? Just ping passes about and let the opposition get fatigued.

Hoofball just invites tiredness.
