Fact 1) McInnes has taken us forward quite dramatically since he arrived a few seasons ago.
Fact 2) in the last 2 or 3 seasons we have been extremely consistent - we go into pretty much every game expecting that we will win - this is a massive improvement and something we’ve not enjoyed since the early 90s.
Fact 3) McInnes has built a first team squad which is generally better than we’ve had in at least 15 years.
Fact 4) mcInnes for some reason thinks he has to change tactics, formation, style of play, personnel etc whenever we play the OF, and it seems now Hibs as well. This never ever ends well, but he never ever learns.

The first 3 facts are hard to appreciate at times because of fact 4. I like McInnes and believe he’s done a great job and am glad he’s still here as I genuinely don’t think we’ll find a much better manager within our budget. However I can’t take much more of the ridiculous tactical changes in every bug game we ever play - in these games we need to play as we always do to give our players the best chance of getting a result - when we change it about it’s blatantly clear the players don’t know what they’re doing.

Why is Tony Doc not saying to him, “that’s a ridiculous idea Derek, we can’t play GMS, McGinn and Christie all in the left of midfield and have nobody on the right hand side” - surely someone in the coaching staff must be thinking it’s nuts!
