Team/Tactics for Sunday v Aberdeen

[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. 🙂

Did we watch the same game? I thought he was actually playing for them at one point!

Pass marks today for Gillespie, Stanton and McMullen, then after them King did ok but when are managers gonna realize that if you loose a defender, you dont have to move the one who has done ok this season. Felt for Durnan today as he in no way is a left sided defender. Should have kept him on the right side and allowed him to do what he has done all season and cover the gaps left by others!

And if we have made any money from this, we should use it to either drop Lewis or let him go back home. Yes he did have some fine saves, but he was at fault for at least 3 of their goals.

Surely enough money today for Harry’s train fare home, or plane or taxi or whatever makes sure he goes.

The menace deserves his chance soon before he realises he must be worse keeper to never get a sniff of a Game.

That’s a wind up....the lads finished.....should be retired for his own good, so far off the pace and the game it was embarrassing, a poor, poor, player now.

He’s the biggest problem in our midfield, assuming he’s even in close to being in the midfield he’s so badly out of position most of the time.

Has to be removed for benefit of all.

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.

[JUSTaway]

cant win headers
