WorldChampions1902 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Whilst the supporters of green and white might be singing "Hopelessly Devoted to You" in the second leg, the damage has been done tonight at Easter Rd.

Cruyff Turn Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Watched Aberdeen on YouTube and Sevco on PremSports. Aberdeen were superb. McKenna and Devlin at the back defended everything until that big dirty git Vokes barged his way through and got lucky with the ball bouncing of the Aberdeen players shoulder. Wasn't much in it at all and it just further highlights how ridiculously over inflated the English Premier League is. Burnley 's squad are probably on 60-70million a year and valued at 150 million. They got about 120million for finishing 6th in the Prem last season. Aberdeen got 2.2million and their entire squads worth about 7 million quid. That difference wasn't in display tonight. Sevco were well organised, compact and played on the counter. They defended very well, McGregor made a number of saves but the Croatian side was all over them for the entire game. The Croatians didn't have the final ball or the quality to get a clean chance. Can't say I'm impressed by Sevco, they seem better organised but I don't think they have any real quality.

Sums up how overrated and overpaid these clubs and their players are that they could not beat Aberdeen. People won't like me saying this but Celtic would beat Burnley without a doubt. Burnley are big and physical. That was the main difference between the two sides. They pass the ball well, but you'd expect that from a Premier League side, they barely misplace passes and everything is one, two touches but it's to diffuse pressure & move the ball around rather than when trying to play through sides. If that's what £150,000,000 worth of players gets you though then I'd be feeling ripped off. They created two chances all night and have very little quality in their team other than a physical advantage. They don't have the quality to play through sides. They look to create angles to play diagonal crosses into the box and that's about all they've got, very effective but not very pretty. I think Aberdeen had the much better chances to score again. They were never going to be able to go for to toe with them because their not as quick or as strong but they competed very well. They certainly weren't 2nd best. Have to say, if Aberdeen bring in another decent centre forward they'll comfortably finish 2nd or 3rd this season. We need to raise our game quite a bit to get that same level of consistency.

Who exactly have they carved open bar a bunch of fishermen? So as I have been saying. Suspect in defence but very capable at scoring goals. On this occasion also showing quite a bit of fight to get back into the game and go on to win. Here's hoping they get smashed away from home.

chuck berrys hairline Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Why did The Rangers wear training tops last night. Also didn't swap a penchant before the game, arrogance or skint ?

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) I watched the Aberdeen game, very strong start, got ahead. But from the point they went ahead, they were dominated and under pressure for long spells, men lined up all across the box. If you watched the 2017 Scottish Cup Final against Celtic, it was like that. Burnley were missing several (Barnes, Defour, Walters, Hendrick for example) and are a workmanlike team, who are YET to spend any of the 120 million pounds that is being freely quoted. Having said that, Aberdeen were their usual disciplined, hard working and strong on the counter selves. It was a very decent performance, but context, under pressure to a Burnley side that will get better. Everton were honking in this competition last year too, so gauging it is dangerous on the basis of a glamour tie type evening. After all, we did draw at Anfield and didn't end up winning the league. I mentioned on the Sutton thread, the talent of a player should never be directly linked to the price tag. If some of our players were playing in England, they would cost a lot more. We currently have a 35 million pound player on loan. Edited July 27, 2018 by Sir Gio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing is on the back burner, so Hummel can't supply anything officially (not even "penchants" ) ,and the old deals have now expired.

No disputing that.

Fair enough and agreed it is par for the course. The potential was there though and they proved it again against a stronger opponent.
