Aberdeen v Falkirk

[RED_JOHN]

Falkirk deserved the win. Did we have a shot at their goal today? TV stream was terrible so could not see a lot of it.
We are currently miles off it and lack any understanding on the pitch. Some really horrendous signings this summer and I do not believe for one minute they will improve at all.
Thelin will be very fortunate to see the next transfer window. Any manager Cormack has had when not been properly backed in a transfer window never sees the next. Thelin will be no different.
From goalkeeper to striker we are extremely weak. Our players are not proper professionals. No hard working player can be as bad as they all are.

[The_Moog]

Thelin oot. I've had enough.

Have to admit Im very close to being all out of patience after that.

10 men or not, we should be capable of at least shutting up shop to get a point - its Falkirk at home ffs - but no, carved open down the middle again.

We are just not a good football team. Not well setup, not utilising players to their best advantage, dont have the right players to play the system being asked. Basics and decision making are almost always abysmal. Wheres the coaching on that? Team setup and structure just doesnt work nearly every week.

Midfield was all over the shop second half today, just a mess. We created absolutely nothing again.

Lazetic at least showed some nice flashes, already shown more than Yengi in just 20 minutes.

The cup win was great, will never be forgotten, but weve got to start questioning the project cause its just not working. We are probably worse now than we were at the end of last season (when we had been horrific since November) and that is just not good enough.

[rico94]

Just back.

We were poor, even before Devlin got stupidly sent off.

The requirement has been terrible this summer but to be honest it’s been awful for a few years now.

Maybe some of these players would be good in a different league but theres not many of them that are suited to Scottish football.

Enough is enough with Yengi, the boy doesnt look like he knows how to play football. Hopefully we can punt him before tomorrow.

Plus I am actually starting to hate Keskinen, it’s never going to click for him here.

The cup win has bought Thelin time he would never have had if he had lost it

It was hardly a miracle, sooner or later the club had to win a cup purely by statistical probability, , st Johnstone won 2 cups but a year later they binned callum davidson


Lets not beat about the bush here, the last 30 games has been absolutely abject in regards to league performances, i'm not buying this bull**** the players were tired etc because of europe, if european qualification always results in garbage league seasons i'd rather just forfeit the qualification

Thelin needs to stop with tombolo team selections and his horrendous style of football kicking it down the wings and running

The guy from motherwell who is wasting the money the club is making by signing utter dross needs to be binned , preferably tonight, we have spent millions to have the same level of player the other provincial clubs in the league have on free transfers from englandshire leagues 1 and 2 , **** knows why we are obsessed with signing young scandanavian players, the league standard there is **** and its not football manager 99/00

There is litterally not one single player in that squad you can say is a 100% starter in every game, in any squad you have to have a spine that are nailed on starters, thats the problem, pick your 4-3-3 and be 100% sure you have a nailed on starter in that squads, a load of weak minded , dicky dancers

Thankfully the stream I was watching was horrendous so I was saved from a proper viewing BUT from what I did see then Falkirk were the better, more organised side who deserved their win.

We are not, and never have been under Jimmy, a team that takes chances and wins by lots of goals, even when we had recognised strikers on the books. Looking at the stats in the league and in the cups against SPFL teams, Jimmy has recorded only 2 wins by 3 or more goals and that was against Motherwell and Dundee but has lost by 3 or more goals 7 times against Celtic (X3), Rangers (X2), Kilmarnock & St Mirren.

We have also only managed to record wins twice in the league when we have been behind in games, against Hearts in October and Motherwell in March so basically when we are behind then don't bet on us turning it around to win the game.

We have won 5 times in the league since November (31 games apparently) and that is relegation form by a country mile and nothing, out with the cup win, would have you believe that the tide was changing.

I don't see any of the football that was promised when Jimmy signed but rather a collective of 11 players that look as if they have just met the night before. Jimmy has, as other managers do, have unfaltering faith in players when 99.999% of supporters can't understand why they continue to be picked and if you weren't signed by Jimmy then chances are you're not long for this club.

We've lost our Scottish identity and continue to go after "promising" or "highly sought after" youngsters rather than looking for experience to bring the youth on. There is no doubt in my mind that there are Scottish based players that are better than what we have signed under Jimmy but for whatever reason they are never under consideration for us.

I'm not in the "Jimmy out" camp yet but the lucky cup final win goodwill is almost eroded now. And yeah I do believe it was lucky rather than tactical genius as since that victory Jimmy hasn't shown that he learned anything from being able to alter his system for individual games but rather sticks rigidly to his favoured formation.

If tomorrow isn't one of the greatest transfer days in our history then I really don't see how we'll improve before the Jan window opens as what we've signed so far doesn't appear to be any better than what we had at the end of last last season.

[Redrab1903]

ROCK BOTTOM, 3 games played 3 loses, bottom of the league going into an international break.

Outstanding!

What an absolute mess. 5 wins in 30 games I read somewhere, so we can’t say it’s early in the season, the signs are there from last season, only we are severely weaker.

We are officially in trouble, definitely a bottom 6 finish this season.

Our recruitment team should be ashamed of themselves. Our new signings look awful they are not good enough.

[Redrab1903]

Completely agree, why are we signing young Scandinavian players???? They are not good enough Shady Mo should have been extended long ago, Thelin simply won?t play players he hasn?t bought, that?s why we are shocking! DC needs to give him a rocket up the a***

Tend to agree. Hate writing anyone off so soon but its really hard to see any positives with Yengi. Just nothing there. Lazetic did way more in a few minutes after he came on.

Agree on Keskinen. He is rapid, but the boy has absolutely no football brain. Hes like the winger version of Jayden Richardson.

Jensen is another. Im having more and more doubts about him. Suspect defensively and doesnt really offer a huge amount going forward either if we are honest. Another who flatters to deceive.

Aye moog Keskinen is quickly running out of opportunities to impress, he obviously has some talent and ability but he really needs to show it more than he has so far.

I was watching some highlights of Milanovic earlier and from what I saw he doesnt actually look like a winger, I definitely think he would benefit from having a striker who could bring him into play because he looks like he can finish if he has the right opportunity.

Unfortunately Yengi is never going to be that striker, its concerning that Thelin keeps persevering with him when we can all see he isnt good enough.

[blowupsheep]

Words fail me, but I don't think in all honesty any of us are totally surprised by that score line.

I am firmly in the Jimmy out camp, 5 league wins in 31 or 32 (what ever it is) league games is quite frankly totally unacceptable. No Aberdeen manager should ever be allowed to survive such a horrific run.

The cup win was great (thanks Jimmy) but it was clearly a fluke and it is now history.
His signings have been pathetic Yengi and Milanovoc being the recent standout muppets, but there has been a sh1tload more
We are by far a weaker squad now than we were were at any point last season and that Swedish neep is still in a job.

Time to go home Jimmy while you still have a tiny bit of credit for the cup, but it is time to fk off min and take most of your muppet signings with you.

Cmon to fcuk Aberdeen sort this pesh out. We are Aberdeen Football Club ffs we are better than this.

[TheDeeDon]

Thought it best let the dust settle on yesterday before posting.

I honestly thought we were far the better team up until the sending off. The sending off appeared very harsh and if that is modern rules, fitba really is f*cked. A goal would have settled the nerves, but it just never came and we needed it.

What really grinds my gears, is showing no fight after going down to ten men in two successive games, more so the second half showing against Falkirk.

You can call Scottish football a lot of things, but usually you see a bit of fight in a team when reduced to 10 men, we showed no balls at all when down to 10 and the subs really didn't work out either.

Nobody can argue with how bad our league form has been since last November, it has been woeful

I’m f*cked if I know what the answers are. I only hope we can beat Livi a week on Saturday and get something to build on.

[TheDeeDon]

Watching Yengi and the team taking shots towards goal at the Merkland end, pre match, didn't fill me with confidence knowing he was leading the line. At least the others could control a ball and hit the target.

I heard it was a disciplinary issue that saw Sokler dropped and is likely away today.

Anyone else hear anything along those lines too?

Im not sure if we are better than this bus.

It?s obvious that Thelin will be gone at some stage this season but there are more issues than just the manager.

A lot is made of the poor run since November but we have been poor for a number of years, other than a couple of purple patches performances like yesterday have been a common occurrence.

For me it?s time to bring in a proper director of football who knows how to run a football club.

Burrows has been a failure as well,spent the entire summer on social media taking credit for us winning the Scottish Cup and has now disappeared again because we are losing.

The whole data driven transfer policy needs to be scrapped, if anyone with football knowledge went to watch Yengi play they would have advised us to stay clear of signing him.

Plus how many times has this data driven transfers worked?

Miovski worked but other than that you could argue Ramadami and Duk were reasonable transfers?

[donsviking]

Deary me what a shambles! This reminds me of the year Ebbe Skodval started a season with 7 defeats and no goals scored. We are shocking as a team with no recognised line up. Thelin still can't decide on his best team if he has one. We have been looking for a goalscorer since the spring but ended up with Ambrose who is useless and Yengi who is never a footballer. The only threat up front was Shady Mo who is now gone I believe. No wonder we havn't scored one goal in the league . I hear Thelin is desperately trying to get reinforcements in on the last day of the window, not a good time to be doing business. Packing the team with young imports to sell on for a profit will not work as we need a balance of youth and experience which we do not have. Time for a rethink Cormack before things go from bad to worse.
