Best Hero Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 What a performance from a player who gets a lot of unnecessary stick from a lot of fans at Tynie. Thought he shoved it right up them today with a brilliant game. He plays with 110% from the first whistle to the last and was my stand-out man of the match today. Totally underrated and does a great job in midfield which often goes un-noticed. Great game, long may it continue. Adrian, you did the jersey proud today!

loveofthegame Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Thought he was MOTM today. Only criticism is he has a habit to play the odd very slack pass which will get horribly punished on thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboAberdeen Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'd be minority but his immobility was part of reason why we lost control on midfield until Rudi came in. Also he must improve his off-the-ball movement when receiving passes to give himself time and space to make meaningful distribution. A number of straight pass back to Kello was totally embarrassing. He was ok at this level, playing against teams in lower end of the table. But if we want to compete against OF or Europe, he has to up his game significantly.

He's also there to cover the back 4 and he did this well today. His passes back to Kello were to retain possession of the ball. In most cases his pass back ended up with Kello's punt forward. To keep possession? Sorry not in my book. He could have dropped down bit more deeply to receive passes which would allow him to take a touch, control the ball, turn and pass side way/forward. Instead, he kept receiving balls middle of the park and passing straight back. There were a lot of movements in Aberdeen midfield he could learn from today.

No-one seems to count the pass backs to Kello that any other player made today, and there were plenty to choose from. Anyway, what's wrong, at two and three nil up, to play the ball back to your kepper? His job is holding midfielder, to break down play and make sure we keep the ball and he did it brilliantly today. Would love to see him score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made plenty of passes sideways and forward too. A few times Kello was his only option so he correctly used him. He's never going to be a player with really good movement and passing but he will do the defensive side of his role well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoJack Horseman Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I have to begrudgingly agree. He does what Black does but seems to get away with it. He doesn't carry that stigma that Black does so isn't hounded by refs/fans. Has more of a physical presence too. Agree with another poster that Mrowiec and Black can't play in the same team.

Thunderstruck Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 In his role, which is defensive midfield, he has to be able to read the game to be in the right place at the right time. Today, he was always in the right place at the right time and covered a lot of ground today in blocking, tackling and making space. Very good performance from him today.

jambonian Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Both Motherwell and Dundee Utd games the midfield was poor, no movement whatsoever. It was obvious to anyone who knows anything about football that Mrowiec and Black just don't work in midfield. Scott Robinson came in today and the movement was far better. It proves something that Mrowiec got man of the match today while Sutton played his more natural style instead of just throwing himself about hoping for something to come off. That was almost a Kevin Kyle performance from him today. Much happier with the performance of all the players today and a nice wee boost to their confidence for the Spurs game.

Libertonian_II Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 AM is not one of my favourite players but today he stood out like a sore thumb. As pointed out earlier maybe he and Black can't play together. That isn't an admission that Robinson is the answer, but maybe a pointer where AM should play.

bighusref Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Could someone explain to me what Brellier brought to the team that Mrowiec doesn't? Brellier was a far better footballer. He does the same as Mrowiec defensively and with a greater level of consistency. What Brellier did better was his distribution once he has won a ball. Oh, and he was ferocious in the tackle. Mrowiec, playing like he did yesterday, can and should be a fixture in our side, he doesn't do it often enough and will need to up his consistency level for me. He's no Brellier though.
