Team/Tactics for Sunday v Aberdeen

[LSArab]

Tactics- Defend and try and sneak one or two. Not rocket science

Hope it never gets embarrassing today. Boys have got to show some commitment to try and win this

3-1 HT and Aberdeen haven't got out of 1st gear. We are dire. For professional footballers to have so little skill and composure is criminal.

Murdoch standing out in a team of hopelessness, 3 passes, 3 Aberdeen players found. Slater not far behind.

[JUSTaway]

to be fair to Murdoch he is versatile/consistent = ****e in midfield, ****e at right back, ****e centre half.

This is the softest United side ever, cant defend/tackle anywhere on the pitch, leightweight, mentally weak.

The wisdom of bringing another leightweight in Slatter during the window didn't help.

Where do we go from here?

Chairman, manager and players are all useless.

Last 20 minutes papered over the cracks.

4-1 down before we start playing shows a total lack of character.

Shocking 1st half, better in the 2nd half.

Drop Flood & Lewis & we could have the makings of a team that could compete...in the Championship.

If there is any truth that we have to play Lewis otherwise we have to play his wages, then we should see if we can send him back to Southampton. IMO at fault for all 4 goals. First - poor positioning and for someone supposedly 6’3” his lack of height is alarming. Second - poor positioning again made it easy for GMS to score. Third - if he was in the middle of his goal he could have taken a step to his left & saved the header. Fourth - enough said. He appears to be so short of confidence he is not what we need in our current predicament.

I actually thought Flood was our best player. 🙂

[JUSTaway]

if you are going to play one up front away from home go with McMullan ahead of MacDonald, it was quite effective early in the season, and at least he has the pace to get in behind defences.

The space all over the park today for Aberdeen when ever they went forward was frightening. The Jan signings not really addressed the problems we had (Ling and Slatter anyway). Slatter is leightweight and similar to what we have, and Ling, besides not looking very good (nice pass for goal), might be big but is not physical and can win headers.

Would excuse him for the third but the rest were his fault.

Aberdeen were very poor today and did nothing much to get their 4 goals, a familiar tale this season. I'd like to think we could take something from a positive last 20 minutes but I think that just came from throwing caution to the wind with nothing to lose.

Just watched the highlights and i think you're being harsh on Lewis. No chance with 2nd&3rd but weak at the 1st & hopeless at the 4th.
