Huisdean50 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Time for McInnes to approach the game by playing to Aberdeen's strengths, not Celtic's for a change. He won't though and will change his tactics and team and get beaten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 It's going to be an interesting game. No one can guess the celtic team now so that will be causing poor derek a sleepless night. Barkas is definitely saving a penalty this week or next as ive been thinking he's poor every single game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkee Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Not confident at all. We played better in the second half tonight when Lennon made the right changes but with him who the hell knows who he will play and in what position. Therein lies our problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illgresi Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Either, we pump Celtic in both games and get Lennon sacked. or Lennon figures out now how to get his team working, and pump us in both games. Then they go on an unbeaten run and win the league. or Lennon figures out now how to get his team working, and pump us in both games. Then immediately go back into idiot mode and get beat by Motherwell. I reckon it'll be scenario 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 No matter how shite they're playing, Rasellik always raise their game against an Aberdeen side who will merrily help them on their way by dropping back from the 1st minute and gifting them tons of possession. How I'd kill for a Neale Cooper type tackle in the first 3 seconds, and for us to start off right in their faces. I remember in one of the utterly dismal semi-finals against Celtic a few years back we went something like 25 minutes without committing a foul, so scared were the players to commit. In our desperation not to be caught on the break, we too often gift Celtic total domination of the ball up to 30 yards out. That generally is succesful for about 15 minutes until they inevitably score anyway. I agree that we need an 11 man effort, both defending and going forward, but pretty much every Dons fan is sick of us playing like pussies against Celtic when teams like Hearts and Hibs are very good at getting into their faces and exploiting the weaknesses in their defence. Sadly, the game is hanging over me like a big black cloud, so I don't see anything other than a routine win for Celtic I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d31 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I'm more confident than some that we can give them a good game. I won't make comment on a score. 3 man midfield with McGeouch sitting to allow Ferguson and McCrorie to go for a high intensity pressing game. I presume we'll prepare for matching 352 all week only to move to 4231 after 6 minutes but it's a good laugh isn't it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don exotic Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I’m expecting a Willie Collum intervention here. A bit like the Caley game when Delia was in charge and we were beginning to put pressure on them in the league. The good thing is surely he won’t be reffing the cup game, which is more important for us. i hope I’m wrong and we get a decent fair game, but I won’t hold my breath. The duopoly is apparently best for us all....the cash and quality of players will filter down. There is no way the ugly sisters are a blight on the game. Look at all the young Scottish players they develop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d31 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I wonder if Lennon will have the balls to drop anyone (the formation? Duffy? Barkas? Brown?) for any of the four games before the international break. I'd be very surprised if it was any time soon but I think Bain will be the number 1 by January and then replaced by a loanee from England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched the sevco game and a bit of the motherwell and Hamilton game against the dons, improving as the season goes on. I like McLennan for me should be getting more game time,McCrorie looks like a sending off waiting to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d31 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 It would be quite controversial if McCrorie was sent off in either of the next two games (or picks up a booking in both) because he would be suspended for the match at Ibrox. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
