Aberdeen v Hibernian

[swaddon2]

Why does Lazetic not get a start instead of Nisbet? Kev has failed to deliver so far after last season. He's like the new Stevie Crawford.

Only noticed him as he was substituted - truly bloody awful team this. Could easily have been 1-5. I?m afraid that JT is absolutely clueless. Never seen so many substitutes during games. Not team rotation but smacks of panicking. Rotten appointment.

Too raging to say much right now re formation/tactics/performance. All been said before and posting in here on the phone is murder.

I?m just posting to say Karlsson can GTF with that wee feegie he took at Topi jumping up and down and windmilling his arms like a petulant bairn.

Never an excuse for aiming that at your TEAMmate and I hope he gets disciplined for it. I was fizzing.

He's not a player that can play the only one up top, he needs someone else beside him. The way we are playing we should just go for two up and forget about a wide player as Aouchiche and Milanovic provide no goal threat and invariably give the ball away/choose wrong option.

Just back

That was a shocker.
The first half was as bad a performance I have ever saw from an Aberdeen team.
Maybe if Auchichi, took that great chance in the first half, it might have changed the course of the game, but clutching at straws with that.
We were second best today and I don't think Hibs played particularly well to get the points.

Palaversa was way off the pace. Runs like he is towing a caravan.
Jensen needed dropping for his own sake, devoid of any confidence.

1-2 flattered us in the end. Hibs should have scored a few more.

Pittodrie near empty at the end.
It's not going to end well for Jimmy now.

Aye, Nisbet just isn't the one up top striker Jimmy likes. It's poor management, in my opinion, throwing him to the wolves in our set up.

Milanovic though. He really looked poor today.
I can only hope fitness/confidence issues with the loon, as been out the picture for a while.

Groundhog day.

Complete inability to do the absolute basics time after time. Honestly, its beyond belief.

Thelin constantly bangs on about transitions and how important they are. All I can see with transitions is every time we have one we fail to capitalise due to poor decision making, technique and execution. Every time we give the ball away in or near the opposition box (as we do nearly every time) then the opposition always look like scoring - like they did today and more than once on Thursday.

Yet again this season, the defence is an absolute shambles.

If Milanovic is Aussie young player of the year, then that league isnt even highland league standard.

Im gutted to say it, but Thelin is not turning this round. I dont think hes capable. Im rapidly coming to the conclusion hes actually just not a very good manager.

The issue is who replaces him. Someone like Robinson is the obvious choice - knows the league and how to get the most out of his players - but we have assembled a squad of absolute wet wipes totally unsuited to his style of play so I dont think that would work at all.

Its all just a complete mess - again.

How depressing.

When I saw the lineup today I was fearing the worst. Turns out I was right.

Armstrong and Palaversa in Midfield, neither of them can tackle. They are both very good at giving the ball away though.

No pass marks today from me, we needed a reaction after Thursday and didnt get it. The requirement has been terrible and its not working.We keep signing players who are not good enough then bin them and replace them with equally bad or worse players for a lot of money.

Whoever recommended Milanovic needs to be fired immediately, the guy is not good enough at this level.

Times up for Thelin now, I wanted it to work out but whatever he is trying to do isnt working. Cormack was at the game today because his ugly mug showed up on the big screen he put in the south stand so he should be giving Jimmy his p45 before he buggers off back to the states.

Back to square one again Dave, time for the next dud manager to be brought in.

[ZakkTheMakk]

Prediction time......

Jimmy will be gone before Christmas.
Peter Leven will get the job until the summer and that'll be his opportunity to get the job full time.
We'll get 2 points from the next 4 Euro games and finish bottom 3 in the Conference League
Karlsson will be signed by Celtic in the Jan window as they'll still be behind Hearts and will pick him up on the cheap(ish).
Aouchiche will go back to Sunderland in Jan.
Dante will sign a pre-contract in Jan, most likely with Hibs or Hearts.
We'll get through our first round in the Scottish Cup and then get a Prem team in the next round and get beaten.
We'll finish bottom 6 but safe from relegation places by several points.

So basically lots to look forward to for the rest of this season.

Does anyone actually know what the reason is for the big screen. First game I went to I was looking at it for replays but it doesn?t show them!?

Im not entirely sure what it?s for but I thought the same as you with the replays.

It does advertise the Cormack Foundation a lot so maybe thats why he put it up.

You?ll get good odds on all of that coming to pass at the bookies!

Peter Leven will probably get the job until the end of the season because of what he did the last time he took over.

But I think he is a big part of the issue here, he was the coach when we were hopeless under Robson and Warnock as well.

I think Thelin should go but there is a lot of people in the non playing staff that should also get binned.

Leven, the fmb and the Motherwell lad who works from home for starters.

The recruitment team and prawcess - whatever it is - needs binned too.

Whoever recommended the likes of Yengi and milanovic also needs fired into the North Sea. Just unbelievably bad signings.

We have all laughed at the diets, Bloom and his fancy XBox, but by fuuck it seems to be working. Turns out this recruitment lark can work - if you know what you are doing.

To think he looked at us afore them and backed off cause of the stadium issues.

Letting the stadium rot, Something else we can thank Milne for then.

Calmed down, a bit, but sadly still of same opinion as at end of match - that’s my patience with JT worn thin.

Nice guy, but not the man unfortunately. We have a loose collection of ****e bags right enough but they’re being hindered rather than aided by him. Times up I’m afraid.

He’s not learning. His in game changes are pointless and he’s seemingly unable to motivate said ****ebags. Never seen such a collection of players look less like a team.

I just don’t see him turning things round now, too far gone. He’ll always be fondly remembered for the cup and like I say being a really nice guy so hope it ends sooner rather than later before he gets truly hounded.
