These what? what mistakes did Gordon make? Their 2nd goal was pretty unstoppable once our defence afforded him another free hit Nonsense post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad things first, defence all over the shop, especially on our right side...... Again. Gordon not covering himself in glory either. Fantastic work down our left side in an attacking sense with Cochrane, McKay, Grant and Shanks all combining well. It's a joy to watch. Grant the pick for me again. Involved in everything, get the contract ready for him on this form. If we defend like that against Rangers we are fecked. Bloody guid game though 😁 More or less the same as rangers defended against celtic, naw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food for thought. Agree, history is just history 11 hours ago, Tazio said: Well he did manage to pass for 2 assists so that’s not too shabby for someone that can’t pass. Shankland has been working well on passing; remember his through ball to Vargas against 'well, where he then fed Forrest in, who should have then fed Oda in to walk it in the net? Other examples too, plus the assists today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will target our right side defence, but we should do the same by sticking someone in Tavernier's face! A game to be positive in and try to unsettle them.

Tavernier isnt the weak point in that team. We should be in all their faces but they are miles ahead of us. We need to be at our best and i mean players fighting in midfield, moving the ball quick, looking up and not just punting it anywhere, set pieces being much better, not making stupid mistakes like yesterday for their 2 goals. They are faster and stronger in every position bar shankland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upgotheheads Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 If Aberdeen get to the final (unlikely but not impossible) does that have implications for the European competition league stages? I know that if they win the cup it does, but the rules for qualification stages beat me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 We really need to address how we're starting games. Yesterday was a brilliant result and showed the character of the team. But time and time again this season, we invite needless pressure by not starting games correctly. The quality is there, that is undeniable, but having to come back time and time again against much lower placed teams isn't good enough. You cannot give yourself mountains to climb every week. Eventually you run out of gas in the tank to keep doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they are faster than Shankland as well mate 😉 The point I was making is if we let defenders like Tavernier dictate their own game on us we will be fekd. I hope their defenders are worrying about our players or at least being faced up early, rather than have the run of Hampden. Agreed if we are competitive in midfield we have a chance.

Sorry mate my post came across a bit aggressive certainly no intended that way. Regards shankland he is strong and to me a much better foralward as dessers but the rest of sevcos team are better than ours. Listen fingers crossed we do it.

All of them apart from the penalty risked an offside check from VAR, so goal celebrating is usually halfhearted these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he leaves Devlin out it’ll be a mistake. If only for his willingness to close down, eagerness to win the ball, it’s important. We need the right mix with people who are prepared to upset play and the opposition as well as technicians I really do think his contribution is under appreciated by many and those who think Hearts will have 3 Paul Hartley’s in midfield.

The fact that Hoff has not had an appearance since his injury should leave the door open for Devlin. As long as he plays with his head as well as his heart he will have a positive influence on our chances. He looked good against Livi, getting himself into their box and breaking up play in front of our defence. He needs to keep the heed tho, an early booking and his effectiveness will diminish. Controlled aggression required. He has a role to play on Sunday as there's no way Hoff can be fully up to speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll get at least one, whether he deserves it or not, much like Rangers’ penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Shankland was absolutely superb on Saturday. His all round play is exceptional and really is the complete striker now. Also delighted for Grant, Oda and Devlin chipping in with their goals. That's exactly what we've been wanting to see, our midfielders making runs into the box for cut backs - something which we've been lacking for a long time. Simple finishes but that's what good movement does and makes football look simple. Hopefully we start to see a lot more of that from now on.
