The Famous Aberdeen - European Tour 2021/22

Needing much more from Ramirez and especially Emmanuel-Thomas here in terms of holding the ball in and actually giving us a foothold. If you have two strikers and essentially sacrifice a body from further back, you can’t really afford to be as poor in possession as Emmanuel-Thomas has been so far. 

I thought our shape out of possession in the opening half hour was pretty good. It’s been a bit more ragged since the goal.

Single him out, is what I really meant to say.

Singled him out because he was terrible. The guy shouldn't be playing in a defensive position because he routinely makes errors like this.

Couldn't really care less what he did before for Aberdeen. He was fantastic in a different position. Doesn't mean I shouldn't criticise him now.

While Qarabag haven't exactly created a ton of chances the way we are completely unable to hold on to and do anything with the ball makes conceding again look inevitable.

Agreed. In desperate need of another half time tactical masterclass.

@DrewDon nailed it, our complete inability to hold the ball up and get up the pitch is killing us here. It’s like cosgrove and main up top all over again. 

They're playing the pitch properly. We try to keep it on the deck and it slows things down. Play it in air and the forwards are isolated. Need another body up there but I dunno tit is worth the risk tonight.
