    Somebody like McInnes but not with that smug hun face, a bit of bottle and who wouldnt go ten games in a row without scoring. Its not a huge ask

    Im not wanting a change of manager anyway. I just dont see the point in him trying to play a system he doesn?t really have the players for. We seem to approach every game the same way. It wouldn?t hurt to be a bit more flexible

    If we played like the rest of the league, you would see the difference our bigger playing budget makes. Doing the same shyte with better players will win more often than not and you could also pick up the odd result against st the smellies

    That said, I wouldnt want Robinson either. Horrible minging wee goblin
    I dont think it matters what style of play you have against Celtic.

    We have tried sitting back against them like everyone else does and still usually lose.

    Its 7 years this month since we last beat them,fair enough we have had the odd draw against them in that time but we shouldn?t be going that long without beating them.

    Aberdeen FC are scared of competing against Celtic. The club use excuses like finances, expectations, wages etc but the biggest issue is we have completely the wrong mindset.
    We don?t see it as a challenge as a club, we just sh!te ourselves when it comes to the matches. It?s extremely embarrassing.

    I kind of agree with you that the clubs mindset is wrong when it comes to facing Celtic.

    It was only a few seasons ago we stopped taking their players on loan and developing them for Celtic.

    At least we have stopped that.

    100 percent we should not be taking players on loan from any team in our league.
    Developing players for Celtic was a ridiculous decision and whoever gave that the go ahead or suggested it should remove themselves from Aberdeen FC.
    That type of mentality is just what I am desperately looking to see an end of at our club.

    I fully accept that but between now and next season, theres the small matter of a Scottish cup final. If we go in playing the exact same way, 99/100 Celtic will wipe the floor with us.

    F*ck knows what the answer is but thats why he gets paid the big bucks. Stopping Hatate and McGregor playing those fancy wee 10 yard forward passes would be a step in the right direction?

    Manager of the season

    We got a doing today at Ibrox and put up little resistance. The team doesn?t have a proper structure attacking and defensive during what I seen of the match (2nd half). Miles off it and I will categorically state that Jimmy Thelin is a turnip. Never a decent coach in a million years and doesn?t see weaknesses in his team. The full team is weak.
    You don?t have a team playing like that if they are well trained. Aberdeen FC are LAZY all over the pitch.

    We did definitely get a doing. We were absolutely terrible, keeper looks dodgy, defence looks clueless, midfield obsolete so what is the plan Jimmy????
    Give him to Christmas, then ho ho go?

    I'm not writing Jimmy off BUT when his players put in performances like this, all too often, then serious questions need asked of his motivational skills etc.

    His selection, while I understand it, was miles off and basically had us defeated before we even kicked a ball.
