The dead club have started strongly but Utd have been dreadful with what little they've had of the ball and aren't imposing themselves at all. Allowing their defenders to stroll about the halfway line passing it amongst themselves on your own turf isn't good enough. 0-1 down you have to give the fans something to get involved and help turn it around

I agree that we were dominant without being consistently threatening. As others have said they weren't defensive subs but they just disrupted the control we had. I dislike 5 subs in general and sometimes it feels like they are made just for the sake of it and can negatively change a teams dynamic... which I think it did to us by the end. However, Motherwell's changes probably helped them get into the game more

For some reason Thelin decided to take all ours off as well who were comfortably controlling the game. Maybe a match fitness issue with Palaversa and Keskinen but their movement and physicality had us totally dominant. Motherwell could and maybe should have come away with a draw despite not doing much until the last 10 minutes or so

I saw the stat during the game that Southampton have had the most successful passes in the league. Might as well have 0 passes because that's how many points they have and will likely have after the end of this game. The obsession with passing stats in particular I really don't understand or care about

I was watching a Norm Macdonald clip doing that joke just this morning. Spooky that I see this

I think he can be a handy squad player. He was a useful foil for Miovski when they were paired together. Probably because Miovski's intelligence balanced Sokler's industry. To be relied on for 15-20 goals a season though? Not for me. I imagine he'll be rotated with Gueye depending on what the situation requires and as long as Nisbet stays fit

Sokler was a diddy yesterday. On his heels when Keskinen puts in a great ball across the face of goal shows he doesn't have that instinct to get in the areas to score. Currently not justifying his place in the team as "putting yourself about" will only get you so far

Why was there a minute's silence for Sven Goran Erikson before the game last night? Was it just a European Competition wide thing? He no association with either club. If it's present at the weekend games I'll find it very odd

I'm just looking at it from the perspective of other sides who think we expect to just turn up and beat them. You have to earn the right to win a football game and our ability to do that so far is a testament to how much we've improved in that department since last season

I don't really understand this statement... and I've seen it mentioned a few times by posters. Yes 5/8 of the wins have been lower league opposition, and the others against who beat us pretty comfortably last season! You can only beat what's in front of you and so far we've done it pretty comfortably for the most part. Thelin obviously the only person to do it in his first 8 games but I think the only other manager to do that kind of streak in recent times is McInnes. It's not an easy thing to do. It's no wonder Aberdeen fans get called arrogant sometimes. To win 8 games in a row at any level is a very good achievement, it's why the likes of Celtic are successful, and to do it with a new coaching staff and new players as well. Let's enjoy the momentum rather than waiting for it to end

I can't say I've followed Nisbet too much since he left Hibs but things can not work out a club for a variety of reasons. We already have one unfit striker with a bad attitude not playing though. With Duncan I have my concerns about that move. As others have stated he doesn't have a real position to call his own and Davidson prefers to play 3-5-2. I don't think he's good enough to play wing back at Championship level and he hasn't really shown anything to suggest he'll be better further forward than what they have already. I do think his confidence has pretty much all gone going by what I've witnessed recently. Perhaps a lone further down would have been better to help that but I don't know. He may, and I hope he does, prove me wrong on all accounts but I suspect he'll end up like Michael Ruth and dropping down to that level before building himself up again

Not great from us but getting through to the next round is the important thing. Great finish from Keskinen and you could already see he's going to be a significant upgrade on Morris in general football intelligence, technique and end product. I don't envy Queens Park fans having to suffer through Davidson's anti-football approach. Tough to endure that over a whole season. It almost worked though and on another day it could have been a triple scalp for Premiership sides against lower league opposition

A bit embarrassing we only beat you by the two in this case

This is it pretty much for me. I've really enjoyed watching him when he's been "on it" Definitely the best striker I've seen in terms of all round ability. I'm also surprised he's got a Champion's League team straight away but hope he does very well. He needs to get his scoring boots back on quickly though as apparently it's only 4 goals in 20 for him which makes the deal even better really

Airdrie could just as easily lose this 5-0 as they can come back to win 2-3

The annoying thing about the Duk situation is with Miovski appearing away imminently we could have placated Duk with the position as the main striker, which I think he prefers and I consider his best role. However rewarding him for his petulance and disrespect to the club and teammates can't be allowed and would be really unfair on the likes of Sokler who has remained patient and professional despite having limited opportunities

Morris must be one of the most frustrating players in recent times. Clearly has some good attributes but as mentioned his decision making is terrible and his output is poor. Also fluffs basic short passes which completely unravels the attack and momentum. It's absolutely infuriating. Maybe a goal or an assist would boost his confidence and not sustaining another long term. McGrath just keeps getting better in an Aberdeen shirt. He's such an important player for us

For all our dominance we still look vulnerable with some bizarre passing choices, something in it here for St Johnstone. Could do with a second goal to ease these fears

The advert for the Paralympics on channel 4 is an absolute mess. Makes me not want to watch

How about instead of a jail sentence they strip his assets and give that money as compensation to the victims of the crime and the taxpayers that have been supplementing his inflated salary for however long. He can then live the rest of his days scraping a living like the rest of society, making amends for his actions whilst being shamed for it, rather than being protected in prison at further cost to the taxpayer

I was quietly impressed with Molloy. Yes he had one big brain fart in the first half but he looks quite confident in himself which is good and he was the one to play the first real telling "long" ball that unlocked Dumbarton's defence and set us on our way to the rout it became. Time will tell how he copes against better opposition but I'm optimistic he can grow into it. Good to see some of the other cast outs from last season get a bit of time on the pitch and even a goal for some

Is it me or are the backing singers singing louder to drown her out

I was thinking the exact same thing that she's even talking out of tune

I'm sitting here wondering if she's drunk, pulling a prank or just really bad?

The play acting and the ref buying it every time is slowly choking the game. Will suit Italy though as Spain will get frustrated the longer they don't score
