Match Thread Aberdeen 2 - 1 Livingston

[Zeus]

Happy we won obviously but that was murder.

 

[Footballs coming Rome]

4-3-3 was refreshing. Would like to see this formation with Barron polvara and McGrath in the middle three. Duk miovski sokler/morris as the front three.

Got the win and that's what matters. Two things Robson needs to take away from this evening: (1) 3 points, (2) Five at the back doesn't work.

Self preservation alone should see him switch to a back four. But doubt that'll happen so, fully expecting a five at Dens.

Enough Dons for me tonight. Off to a festive soiree down the Nakatomi Plaza for the rest of the evening. 

The quarterback is toast 😂

Polvara good. Mcgarry shite. Sign Penrice to replace him. Thank fk for Bojan. 

Great shout. Penrice looks very good albeit I see he is 25. Thought he was about 18!!

How long a contract did we give McGarry? Please don’t say 4 years 🫣🫣

As much as Morris is, at best, erratic, that gives us a better team balance overall.

 

Thought he was very good tonight. Final ball is lacking but his pace is a great asset.

Just the 3 😆

[RUL]

To be honest that was just shite. Bar Miovski we are pish. Hopefully we somehow keep getting results as the football is obviously going to be fucking piss.

[sooth_stander]

I think if we stick with 4–3-3 we will gradually ease ourselves up into the top 6 this month due to the amount of chances we will provide for Miovski and Co.
Whether we have the correct midfielders to play that way, at the moment anyway, who knows but something that will hopefully be dealt with in January 

[Dandys1983]

Does show though that 4 at the back and 2 wide players make a big difference, I'd be inclined to stick delvin and McDonald in at CB with Jensen LB and Milne RB midfield 3 I've no idea I think it would take alot of swapping about till you got the right combination, for now Morris wide ride Duk left and Miovski / Sokler through the middle. But expect 3 at back again next time oot.

[Granite95]

Win is all that matters but it really papers over the cracks and shows how reliant we are on Miovski

Hopefully Robson can see not hoofing it long makes us a more dangerous team

The Morris has been good since he came on..definitely adds something…

I  thought he was pretty poor 

[Willo flood]

That was brutal but games vs Livingston always are

Miovski incredible once again

[Sheeptastic]

Should be quite difficult to get automatically relegated from here. We are massive.

He’s just generally good when we play him now. My son (being American born….but a Dandy and Scotland fan) loves Polvara and takes enormous pleasure in rubbing my face in shit when he plays well, reminding me he said he’d come good. The sweet innocence of an Aberdeen fan that wasn’t alive during the late nineties and 00’s is a thing of beauty. 

😂😂

He will be even better when he gets those gloves off though!

I think we do but what 3 I've no idea, as I said I'm my post needs a bit of swapping about until you get a trio that works together. It's wide players we struggle with at moment but I guess we have Duncan, Hayes and a couple of young lads, I'd certainly be swapping Miovski and Sokler about as he will be Miovski replacement if he was to leave in Jan.

this is all we are asking.  we'd win more than we lose, and be on an upward curve.

just drop the scaredy cat bullshit and play the fucking game, robson

Can't believe folk actually argued with me about McGarry, he is utterly fucking hopeless, his data showed that as well, shocker of a signing.

I'd take the boy Penrice in January until we can get someone better in Summer. Could offer them Gueye in exchange, he'd fit right in there

We may have the correct midfielders. We don’t have the correct manager to play that way.

He’s a really talented lad. But he’s a CH. not a passer. Not a sweeper. He’s raw. If he cuts out the mistakes then he’s a massive asset when partnered with the right guy. 

[Ke1t]

Ruby is our Balkans Rougvie. 

Not our most skillful player, but he'll put the fear into the opposition.

Polvara and Barron holding. Clarkson forward. Duk left front. McGrath right slipping inside. Miovski up front. Piece of piss.

Everything he did was dreadful but he gives us much needed attacking width and is always trying to be positive. 

That’s a walloper of a back-handed compliment. Lovely stuff. 
 

Morris is a real curate’s egg of a player.

He would have slaughter a pitch full of Huns on Sunday had he not been maintained.

Id actually argue that he’s been better with the ball at his feet then any of our other centre backs recently 

[donswin1983]

We are a 4-3-3 team, i think. I would play Shinnie at left back in the 4, the young loon in front of the 4 (assuming he’s staying, which looks doubtful, Polvara in the box to box role and either Clarkson or McGrath, further up. 
morris, Duk (left) and Miovski up top.

ball on the deck!

Surely Ruby partnered with MacDonald is the way to go; flanked by Jensen and Devlin and that’s a decent back 4

@4n4LprObE666 How did you enjoy your second half "feast of goals"?
