The Mercer Takeover Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Gordon - 9 - Distribution wasn't great, but another absolutely incredible performance. Won the game for us. Smith - 2 Injured early. Halkett - 8 Really good, composed and strong Souttar - 7 Occasionally clumsy but solid performance. Kingsley -7 Quality player and another good game. McEneff - 6 Honking first half, grew into the game second. Devlin - 6 Possibly poorest game yet. Didn't seem to like plastic pitch. Cochrane - 6 Not a major influence on the game. Woodburn - 1 Hooked early first half and utterly abysmal. McKay - 7 Lots of running and lots of assists. Boyce - 8 Led the line well and scored. Subs Moore - 6 Took a little while to settle, but good game. Haring 7 - Made a huge difference in replacing the hopeless Woodburn. Surely must start next week. Gnando - 0 Must never wear maroon again. One of the worst performances I have ever seen. Simply unbelievable Neilson - 3 One man up front away to Livi. Started with Woodburn and McEneff who were really poor first half. Too much tinkering again. Livi were terrible and had it not been for Gordon, they would have won. Great noisy support on a really cold day. Edited December 5, 2021 by The Mercer Takeover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great noisy support on a really cold day. The Neilson line about playing one up against Livingston is wrong. We played 3 up front in a 343 (McKay, Boyce and Woodburn) and lost the midfield because of it. It became more like a 352 with an extra body in the middle when Haring came on and that shored up the midfield. He got it wrong but did so by being too attacking, not too defensive. He adapted well and that’s the sign of a decent manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansel Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Thought McEneff was one of our best players in the second half. Should've scored at one point though. Mckay was good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboBoy Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Guanduillet minus 10. He is absolutely appalling and should be nowhere near a maroon shirt ever again. Absolutely honkingly bad player with an equally bad attitude to boot. Get rid asap Edited December 5, 2021 by JamboBoy Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Devlin, Cochrane and Moore were all poor in the first half, but all improved in the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott herbertson Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Moore gets an extra point for his "Disco Dave" run, surely Gordon gets an additional 10 for being Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was a game made for Haring and Devlin to win the midfield for us. I do wonder if 433 or more of a 352 is the future However nitpickery there and so much negativity on here. 5 pts to 4th, 11 ahead of Hibs, 9 ahead of Aberdeen. Not alot to moan about imo! Bring on the the rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8hibsh Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 If Woodburn thinks he has a chance down in the EPL he really needs to give himself a huge slap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIEIO Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Gordon , Halkett and Haring 8. The rest 6, Gnaduillet 4 just for getting into positions to then miss easy chances. Neilson 8 for making the change before the opposition scoredn for once. If only he'd done this at Pittodrie we might have held onto our lead, not to mention the fiasco at Motherwell. Lesson hopefully learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long is he with us? Hope it's at least a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a number of us were crying out for a similar change at Motherwell, which never came. It looks like he is more aware/accepting that a change of format might be needed during a game and that is promising going forward, so credit where credit is due Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarrysRightFoot Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 We cannot persist with this 523 formation - we are getting over run by hopeless sides in midfield. Need to go 433 IMO but we do need proper wingbacks to make that work to it’s optimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Some ridiculously high ratings when we only played in one half. Gordon and Haring apart 4s to 6s except Woodburn and Ngando 1s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
