The way we play football is very poor, no enjoyment watching that, it’s Leveins way of doing things that suck the life out the team. All his emphasis is on defending and keeping it tight, not the kind of things that get the fans on the edge of their seats is it. He also has consistently signed duds which is worry, as it’s down to his judgment. Plenty of talk about how we do things at youth level. Hope they get hoofball drilled into them at a young age, coz if they can't do that they'll be put out on loan until they learn to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J80MBO Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Tbf not just at fault...2-1 up with 15 minutes to go and cant see it out. Too many losers in team. Ability aside (which is average) have mentality of losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Levein's/Macphee's tactics or coaching does us any favours. It takes a class act like Naismith to come on sort everything out. If we're going to continue with our current manager and coaches we're going to have to bring more quality in. 2 CM's and a poacher. I'm not so harsh on Zlamal as some folk but yeah, Aberdeen have a better keeper for sure. Edited August 4, 2019 by Sagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour M Hersh Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 It wasn't up before the game clearly and it is not up after the game clearly. He can't be held responsible for player errors today. Tactically he got lots correct today but losing Soapy won't have helped. Changed it on 65 minutes and got an instant positive reaction. 16 year old has a rush of blood and gets sent off hardly the managers fault. Dikamona gets penalised, only seen it once but looked pretty soft, ref gives a pen. Then with their tails up they get a winner. All subs had been used so he couldn't replace Hickey. I'll take the positives out of the game as I expected a heavy defeat there and it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveins Battalion Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 FWIW I like Craig Levein,but the losing run we are on you simply cannot defend,its woeful,embarrassing,if it wasn't levein he would have been hounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I agree, he has to go! I believe we have the players to finish 3rd or 4th, but not under this man, I'll give him his due for bringing in naismith, but he just cannot get the results that we expect. Please go Craig....We know your a hearts man and aw that and we know no one hates losing more than you but your a pish manager. Personally I think his choice of coaches/assistants are killing him.

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Makes a positive change that wins the game if not the inexperience/stupidity of Hickey and Dikamona. Whatever his faults, it's harsh to lay this one at his door. Players need to take responsibility for not using their brains on such occasions.

Levein is on borrowed time and eventually the unrest in the fans will see him replaced. Can’t see him leaving the club altogether though, he’ll get a cushy job upstairs.

Regardless of how committed the Aberdeen fringe players were with Thursday in mind. However, he needs removed for his prematch interview alone. Both managers were asked what their ambitions were for the season ahead. McInnes explained that the aim of Aberdeen was to reach the group stages of the Europa League and win two trophies domestically. Levein’s answer was that “We should be round about the European spots. We have the fourth or fifth biggest budget in the league, so that's where we should be," My heart sank.

This is the lack of ambition and motivation from Levein that gets passed down to the players. A winning, confident, can do attitude, can work wonders for a football manager, at the very least it would give the players a phycological boost.
