Aberdeen v Celtic (Scottish Cup )

[rustlinsweetiepapers]

Probably their best performances for Aberdeen by Gartenmann and Barron though not a failure in the team other than perhaps Roos. But was it coincidence that such a good midfield display was achieved without Shinnie? I've always been a big Shinnie fan but can but wonder.

Firstly, well played lads, really gave it a go there today. Absolutely no complaints about the effort & attitude - though we really do lack the physicality required in games like this.

I’m no fan, but Gartenmann was exceptional today. Best game he’s played. Where’s that been?

Devlin & McKenzie very good. MacDonald though ffs min. Ok he scored which makes amends a bit - but badly at fault for the first 2 goals. Just cannot afford to do that in these games.

Miovski excellent also - much more like himself.

Hoilett’s delivery for the 2nd & 3rd was world class. Two outstanding crosses - but what a chance he missed.

Sokler did well, midfield did ok. When Polvara gets time on the ball he uses it well, but his lack of physicality lets him down.

Clarkson & Barron did well & put in a shift. McGrath was a bit in & out of the game.

Phillips is just not a footballer - abysmal.

Duncan similar.

No surprise they missed the pens. Nowhere near the level required.

Yer just nae winning a penalty shootout with Roos in goals. He’s just abysmal at penalties. 5 out of 6 he went the wrong way ffs.

So overall, we had:

3 / 4 great chances missed.
2 goals absolutely given away
1 stonewall pen denied
1 handball pen denied that gets given more often than not.

Aye, but the Tims never get anything eh.

Yer nae winning with that little lot, but they absolutely turned up & had a go, so no complaints on that score - all you can ask really…
