I think you will find no one on this Aberdeen message board wanted to finish below Sevco. The next challenge should be about beating Celtic as you should always try and move a step forward and be ambitious. Milne and McInnes though are more than happy to stagnate the club and just hint we are out our depth rather than face the fight and give it our best shot.
I know I am a moaning faced git at times but I would be more than happy if we at least showed we are really having a go at Celtic instead of making it easier for them than necessary. We all want to win I appreciate that but the difference lies in what we accept during failure. Accepting meek displays against Celtic doesn’t sit well with me and quite a few others, that’s the real difference between a lot of us on here.
Shinnie, Hoban and especially Stewart were outstanding today. Shinnie at his best today. Hoban reads the game brilliantly and Stewart caused Hibs no end of problems.
GMS also very good as was May.
Tremendous tactical display from McInnes, absolutely spot on.
We do tend to give them far too much time and space like in the 3-4 match.
Our last 2 displays at the piggery were exactly how we should play them. It was poor finishing which let us down in the September match.
The League Cup Final was a strange one, GMS going off injured seemed to knock the stuffing right out of us.
We genuinely make it hard for ourselves by playing far too many defensive players. The cup final was very disappointing as we only mustered two shots on target all match with one coming courtesy of the Celtic central defender. We need better tactics in a cup final...Celtic were definitely there for the taking. Unfortunately our manager thought otherwise.
McInnes' "defensive" formations keep getting criticised on here, especially the so-called two defensive midfielders. Today, one "defensive" midfielder (Shinnie) was popping up frequently high up the park on the wings and the other won us a pentalty.
I hope that was a joke.
It’s not easy to tell on here anymore, irony is dead.
Hoban is 5 times the player Shaugnessy is.
But you have to be fit to play otherwise you’re no use to anyone
