Shaggy2 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) Good, bad or indifferent, I’m just glad the muppet can’t beat Hearts. I think he gives up chances to us when he plays us. He looks ok when they play a 3 because he’s generally central and more difficult to target. The SF with nobody there in particular (after we got on top) he was amazing at duffing the ball straight out of play or straight to Boyce or Naismith. Seriously, watch that game again, he’s humpty.

Seems to talk sense and despite being a utter wank on the field seems to be respectful to us. Said last season that he wants Aberdeen to play the way we do. I think most of the time when he voices frustration, he's got a point. 13 hours ago, Wee Mikey said: In what way? Please elucidate ... He's very good at passing out of the back. He helps out their very meh midfield a lot with it. In defending he relies on shirt-pulls and nudges and all of the other shitebaggery, but he's very good at picking a pass.

Fair comment, but the only strength I'd attribute to him is his aggression in attacking the ball, mostly in the air. That can't be enough to justify an international call up, when there are weaknesses that will see strikers at that level leave him for dead.

They always seem to get good money for their players and we don’t and I’m bitter so him bumping them and leaving for **** all then becoming a £5m player would be delightful.

Rudy T Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 He had a decent game but the majority of their chances came from Porteous either being caught under the ball or getting too tight. He makes a great tackle at the end it’s incredibly risky but he got it spot on although he’s the wrong side of the attacker to start with. Jack Henry did his job covering for the inexperienced Porteous a few times and Gordon’s bailed them all out a couple of times, which is fairly standard in any game Big Craig takes to the pitch. A decent debut in a high pressure game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to defend on your 18 yard line and you want someone to face the play and header things he'll do ok. Play a high line and have him on the turn facing his own goal and he's floundering. He's forever gesturing to opponents to beat it. You'd think he's played 600+ games at the highest level when you watch his antics and demeanor. He's a prick.
