Aberdeen v Celtic...Sat 12-09-2015.....12.30pm- Live on Sky Sports 2

we are obviously going through a very bad time of it

and it all goes back to the malmo game

i wonder if ronny may have lost the dressing room, browns not been the same since, neither has johannsen, key men for us last year

 

* i never knew that i'd love to see that side in a one off game

 

Well said rossenspiel - pity the people in charge can't see it.

 

Blackett at CH, ffs, what have you people been watching.

He's a fkn fairy, offers no strength at the back and is woeful in the air, McGinn outjumped him everytime.

* knows who came up with him and £4m, ffs, lol.

Yeah, yeah I'll get the whole give him a chance routine, but from what I saw of him at Utd, he was fkn rotten and seems not to have got much better. I was aghast when we signed him.

He certainly ain't good enough to play at LB before Izzy, but even more so CB.

 

to be honest I think some players have downed tools and not playing for the manager after what he said about the players after the malmo game . brown and johansan have been shocking over the last 4 games and think there must be off the field issues between the manager and some of the players and where is kris commons in all this and it seems him and stokes wont get a game under him now .

 

Problem is, we signed all these defenders and they aren't looking so great going forward, we signed midfielders who don't play. We signed a striker on a 6 game ban, so he's in and out. So now teams go out and look to isolate Boyata, Brown and Biton. Rotating the side and not rotating the formation is one thing, but we're awfully narrow, with two holding midfielders not knowing how to get the ball into the final third. Both Brown and Biton haven't been mobile enough, able to affect games enough, in the big games.

I look at the ribbing that's being dished up to Alan and that's gonna be Mulgrew and Brown as the main banter merchants behind that and it's those i think we could be doing with sidelining, at least one of them, and splitting them up. Brown's been *, Lustig's not been much better. It's also the fans favorites that are kind of playing * as well.

Mulgrew, you need to go long, Boyata after a few heart attack moments, was also told to go long and that was just about working. But by *, playing a passing game, with a bunch of long ball players a'int gonna work.

Not saying this would work either, but in the league we should be able to try stuff out, where we have 11 on the park who can all go forward and defend at the level you need.

Drop in GMS, Forest, Blackstock, MacGregor, Boyata as subs and it's a decent wee team
