If we accept that the disallowed goal is inconclusive then there wasn’t really anything too contentious yesterday. Mugabe is lucky he doesn’t make contact with Hayes in the second half as I think that’s a 2nd yellow if he does. The match was determined by poor quality throughout though. And let’s be honest, we showed up determined not to be bullied by Motherwell again and it’s maybe unsurprising that we were horrendous to watch but yielded a point. I don’t think it’s a sign of things to come from Goodwin necessarily, just needs must given the circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had 15mins on the phone with the team the night before and then 15mins at the hotel before the game. All he really said was to make sure they battle with Motherwell. The team didn't train on Friday either. No chance to implement anything yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said anything about being better than "everyone else in the league". I certainly didnt. Finishing minimum top 4 for nearly a decade would suggest we are more often better than most of the league no? You jumping from that fact to 'they think theyll win the league cause of the 80s' type insinuations is thick at best 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the attitude to not get bullied again was certainly there yesterday, In my opinion Goodwin is good at knowing how to set a team up against different opposition. Although as you say he did not have time to implement anything of note. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season he was moaning about St Mirrens game not being postponed because all his keepers had covid. Clearly totally oblivious to the long established rule that clubs - to avoid postponing games - are expected to make emergency loans if all your keepers are injured or ill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s a sign of things to come from Goodwin necessarily, just needs must given the circumstances. When you look at some of the recent double-headers, McInnes obviously made the decision after cup defeats that the team wouldn't be bullied. Aberdeen then sneaked the league game but the games were brutal to watch. Not much different yesterday other than it ended a draw. Agreed on the disallowed goal being inconclusive. It was so tight that I don't think you can really criticise the officials too much (other than team bias) in these situations considering we struggle to tell using still photos.

Archie McSquackle Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Referee was very inconsistent with the bookings. Carroll probably a bit lucky not get one and Ramsay should have had a very early booking for pulling Shields back as he drove in to the box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our passing yesterday was probably the worst I’ve seen from us this season, and as @SlipperyP said earlier the amount of times that one of our players had the opportunity to take a high ball down and play it, and either headed it up the park to no one, or humped it up on the volley, was ridiculous. In which parallel universe have Aberdeen been playing free flowing, exciting, expansive, tiki-taka football for the past 18 months? You need to accept you didn't buy particularly well and many players are underperforming. Just take ownership for that than blame your woes on everyone else. The game for me had promise, that lasted for the first 10 minutes of pretty much end to end stuff but then it turned into a midfield dirge highlighting what's wrong in our game, unforced errors, multiple weak fouling, unpunished dangerous/cynical fouling and bad control all contributed to a scrappy, stop/start affair. The main difference from last week was familiarity from both teams of the opposition and their "capabilities" and Aberdeen determined not to be on the back foot to the same degree which they achieved. Second half was marked by the Dons protecting their lead, switching from a high press to containment to no doubt reserve energy levels. Motherwell were by far the better team in the second and KVV even at 80% still gives you boys the yipps. Talking of parallel universes, would have been interesting to seen how it panned out if Sheilds was moved to the centre and Roberts/Woolery introduced when KVV done his shoulder or if he really is just the nemesis to your guys. Even Hearts are turning to shite now too so everyone is pretty much pish again, from now till May it really is the shitefest bowl for everyone from 3rd to 10th 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
