AEK Athens v Aberdeen

[The_Moog]

And nowhere near number 5

7 defenders in the box there - 7

All standing like statues.

2 Greeks, 1 pass, goal.

Just utterly embarrassing this. Not one redeeming feature at all.

Let?s focus on the positive - comp format means we?re not taking them back to Pittodrie 😉

[Br0chred]

It is incomprehensible how unbelieveably bad our defending has been tonight

[NaeMairNeeps]

6-0

Ffs

[Br0chred]

FFS How many could this have been. I don't think we could have complained it it had been double this

[Don Julio]

Marko Lazetic. The only bright spot.

Big task to get them up for Sunday.

Its not really. Our defence is pretty honking. Cannot defend balls into the box, regularly caught out by balls over the top and in behind the full backs, caught on the break far too often too, technically incapable of playing out from the back despite quite inexplicably being asked regularly to do so.

This is what decent teams generally do to crap ones - especially crap ones that constantly shoot themselves in the foot.

And its 6. Another defensive holocaust.

Final whistle thank god.

Pathetic tonight, just pathetic.

[NaeMairNeeps]

Well, that wis horrific. Ah'm slightly consoled by the fact the huns got a doin' tho.

Really? Did slightly less crap than the rest maybe, best I can say.

Cost us the 4th goal with a horrific bit of poor control

Yes it was poor control, but it was a shocking ball to him and all night he tried to hold the ball up and was the only one that caused them any hassle.

[TheDeeDon]

Sh*t score, but I don't count European games.

The Hibs game in Sunday, is what counts for me.

[rico94]

Very similar to the Celtic semi final last season.

What tonight has shown is even though we have spent a lot of money in the last few years the majority of that squad is not good enough,certainly not mentality wise anyway.

I think Lazetic,Gyamfi and Milne are worth keeping hold of for their potential but I honestly wouldnt be bothered if any of the rest of the squad left.

We really need to beat Hibs on Sunday.

[ZakkTheMakk]

Considering what has happened in Athens and how important the Hibs game is then anything less than a victory and it'll basically end our season.

The players, and not for the first time, owe the support a performance that delivers 3 points or they're basically ensuring that nagging doubts over their mentality will never go away.

We were worse than hopeless tonight but Sun is what matters as the league being as tight as it is offers the chance to move several places up the league.

Good players with good technique handle that ball fine - it wasnt that bad.

Im not picking on him, I like the lad, Im just not giving any of them pass marks for that shiitshow tonight.
