Aberdeen v Eintracht Frankfurt

[rico94]

So now what - we play the B-team every week!?

Brilliant performance against a very good team, they were much changed from their destruction of Bayern but still 5 players from that team and the backups are nae mugs

The tactics to counterattack were spot on I think, thats a few times its worked well in Europe but Barry - the league is a different animal

Kudos to Shayden - taken a lot of flak but did well last night before fading a little, maybe fitness. Milne looks a player every game - high hopes for him. Devlin should have had a pen - watched that a few times and I can't see the defender getting the ball at all. Polvara does not look out of place in Europe - can find a pass. The whole defence did very well - solid and organised, Ruby had a couple of scares early on but was cruising after that and Roos was excellent

On that note its looking likely him and Barron are off - hope I'm wrong but with Barron changing agencies and Roos quiet on the contract front we will need to replace them both

Duk and Sokler both coming into form at the right time given the games we've got this month, hope we see Duk especially finish the year strongly

Proud of our performances in Europe, with a bit more luck and nous we could have got out of the groups. I saw Hacken did not get a single point in their europa group and ended with a GD of -14. I'm convinced we would have done better in their place (IF we could have got motoring a little earlier in the season)

Please, please don't use the same tactics on Sunday Baz - the huns have a slow defence and any pace will reap rewards against them

Pretty wild considering the result how quiet this thread is - hopefully Sundays crashes the site for the right reasons!

I have heard from a few people that Barron is off but I’m not sure about Roos.

Apparently his wife plays for Aberdeen ladies so if she’s happy enough here then I thought he would have signed a new deal.

Shame, he does carry the injuries though so only time will tell what we will miss out on. Good to know about Roos, hopefully that persuades him to sign on

Great result - no getting away from it. Well done to all.

Everyone played their part but a couple of special mentions.

Milne was solid & effective again. The experience will do him a power of good

Ruby didn’t fück anything up, so that’s a positive.

Don’t ever play Gartenmann on the left again. Fish out of water.

Great cross from Morris for the first. Christmas miracles do happen then.

Duk more like himself, seems to be getting his pace & desire back. Good too see.

Lovely finish from Sokler too. Definitely got something to offer.

But special mention & MOTM to Polvara. I’ve not been a fan, & still need to see more, but he was excellent in this game. Won everything in the air, got the ball down & tried to make passes, & his ball through for the 2nd was absolute class.

He’s clearly better in Europe where it’s less frenetic and physical, but if he can adapt more to the game here, he can win me round.

Only negative is that Barry’s gonna see that as the blueprint for Sunday though - it’s nae.

Still, it sets us up very nicely so COYR…
