stumigoo Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I'd be raging if I was a Morton fan. We were woeful and there for the taking. Shite performance once again from us. In keeping with the rest of the season we had no energy, no creativity, no pace and no desire. A ten minute spell at the end isn't good enough. I'd be happy not to see Van der Velden in a United shirt again and if I was Mikkelson I'd be embarrassed that a central defender had more of a presence and more awareness upfront than I did.

Granny Danger Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 It's bad enough that Van der Velden and Mikkelsen start but for one to get an hour and the other almost 70 minutes when neither were offering anything is ridiculous. Flood and Fraser are incredibly frustrating players, do some things really well then follow it up with rotten touches/awful passes. Murray made an impact and with Durnan up front for the last 15 we could have gone on and won the game. All that said we've actually played worse in recent games.

Baffling how Utd are so far up this league Not on that second half performance. We got what we deserved and it could have been worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janne Lindberg's Laces Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Really took our foot off of the gas in the second half. Got deeper and deeper and invited united on to us. That said, it was a good first half performance pressing high and quickly and using the ball cleverly when we had it. I would have taken a point happily before the game but if the game had gone on much longer I think United looked more likely to get a winner.

ArabianKnight Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Match thoughts. Van Der Velden is an absolute imposter. Mikkleson was meh. He's not terrible, just meh. Morton were shite. United had the better chances but were equally shite. The lack of width caused us problems when Morton decided to sit in. Dunno why Nicholls didn't replace VDV. Coote came on and done okay, least he came looking for the ball. He's done a fair bit of growing since I last seen him play for the first team too.

chazas_ Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 That first half was as bad as I've seen us at home in a long time and Van der Velden had one of the worst individual performances I can remember. Mikkelsen wasn't much better. In saying that, we missed enough chances 2nd half to win the game. This league really is pish and it makes the fact that we're struggling so much in it even more depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Had Morton tried to play football in the 2nd half wed probably have seen that out. As it was they decided not to and deserved to concede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Well that was fucking horrible. I stayed downstairs to watch rugby second half and if I didn't have to meet folk after would have gone home. Genuinely don't see me going back this season.

Reverend Maynard Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Wwwweeeeeee. Ppppllllllllllaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy veeeeeerrrrrryyyyyyy ssssslllllooooooowwwwwww. Fffffoooottttttbbbbbaaalllllllll. Pace end energy of the last 15, is what we need to be doing from the get go. Durnan up front with Murray playing of him is bizarre , but seems to work. VDV is never a wide player, and doesn't make that formation work. We need Nicholls to get up to speed asap, then try a 4,4,2. Getting the fear already about the Hibs game.

mcintyre_gmfc Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 We missed Lindsay's energy in the middle of the park today, United had a lot of space to play in the middle of the park in the second half which wouldn't have happened if he was fit.

FifeArab Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 We were rank today. Morton came to Tannadice and played more attacking and had better fight than United. RM consistently plays this 4-2-3-1 pish, In this league you need to play 4-4-2 and mix It up, we're not good enough to pass through teams who fight against us. Nick VDV thinks he's this class act but he's actually a slow donkey. Paul Dixon Is finished, get Robbo In asap. Nicholls should've been brought on Instead of wee coote, still too lightweight.

vikingTON Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Felt that the draw was deserved. We did quite well in the first half but couldn't break Dundee United's pressure in the second half. Our backup options playing up front didn't offer us a credible out ball. The frustrating part is that while Dundee United deserved an equaliser, the goal that they scored was ridiculously soft. It should have been cleared by the defenders but Gaston should have dealt with the cross in the first place. He's not assertive enough to be a top-end Championship or top flight goalkeeper and that's costing us some important points this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumigoo Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 McKinnon having a go at some players on ArabZone. Questioning commitment, and just as worryingly "you ask players to go out and follow instructions and they can't give you that". I would say that Mikkelson and Van der Velden were the two most guilty of not doing anything near what their job was meant to be. The rest were just guilty of either being rubbish or lacking any real determination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
