Scooby_Doo Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 34 minutes ago, Joe Terrapin said: I've gone full circle on Warnock since his appointment. I initially thought he would be good for the Scottish game and would call out the blatant corruption towards the top two but he's been an unmitigated disaster. I quickly came to dislike him with his pithy comments and general lack of self awareness however that interview tonight is of a broken man. Aberdeen have fucked him. Give up Neil while you still have your health. If you need to do a Roy Hodgson to save face if you have to but go back to your grandkids and enjoy what's left of your life. That's a semi circle. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kempes Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Great tactics from Warnock. Go one up in the first minute with a wonder strike, then defend for the rest of the game, including taking both the wingers off. And that time wasting worked out well, eh? By the way, how come Miovski wasn’t playing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Well, at least Cormack has placated those who think they are entitled to an apology for their football team playing rubbish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 7 hours ago, Self-raising Lazarus said: How do you square that with the results in Europe though? And raking points off rangers this season. There's quality players in there. We have definitely been more comfortable against a certain 'type' of opposition this season; one that allows us to sit in a low block, to create chances primarily through counter-attacks and transitions, and to essentially play a reactive game. In fairness to Robson, he did a good job of coaching us to play in that style against superior opposition; the primary problem is that this is not transferable for the majority of domestic games that Aberdeen will play in a season, and that was ultimately what ended up costing Robson his job. I suppose it isn't so much that there aren't some good individuals in there - there are, even if not as many as we initially hoped - but we are painfully short in key positions and the actual balance of the squad is completely wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the point regarding balance, and it's a fair one. But on paper that team should be top 6, maybe similar to motherwell in that we score goals and create chances but have shockingly bad defence/keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) There is no dubiety about it, Warnock has to go, now. As others have said, put Peter Leven in charge for the rest of the season. I was happy to see Warnock coming in when he did, but he has turned it into a nightmare. For someone who we were told is a brilliant man manager, he has shown the total antithesis of this. With every single pre and post match interview he makes things worse. Never takes responsibility, apart from the first 25 minutes against Motherwell. Tells the players publicly that only one of them is a leader. Tells the players publicly that they are not good enough. Tells the players publicly that he has to make do with what he’s got. Never comes up with solutions. Makes Bojan Miovski, our best player of the season by a mile, that he is at fault for the defeat at Kilmarnock. Always trying to crack a joke. He has been a f*ck*ng disaster. Edited March 2 by kingjoey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been a f*ck*ng disaster. This seems a bit much. It has been five league games, discounting Rangers where by Warnock's own admission he had next to no input, with a very flawed and unbalanced squad. These results and performances could just have easily have been produced with Leven in charge. It is still too small a sample size to be demanding a sacking, even if we have not had the bounce we hoped. We have to guard against reading too much into what he - or indeed any manager - says in interviews, too. I think Miovski is brilliant, but he was poor at the first goal against Kilmarnock and I don't think it is exactly outrageous for his manager to briefly note that. If Miovski is to have the career he is capable of having, he will have managers who will criticise him and expect a reaction. I don't think it's a big issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojan went through a severe dry spell last winter too (1 goal in 10 league matches) so I'm not sure I buy this dragging of Warnock for his lack of form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negativity, negativity, negativity. Not accepting any of the blame, apart from, as I said, the first 25 minutes against Motherwell. He’s said more than once that Shinnie is the only leader we have. The dressing room must be in revolt. I normally like to defend managers and give them a chance, and I was in favour of Warnock’s appointment, but he is leading us into oblivion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be the case now that a manager cannot criticise the players because they are all delicate little flowers and he can't hurt their feelings because that is unfair. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t say that Warnock was to blame for Miovski’s lack of recent goals. The chance he missed today was incredible, and didn’t even make on to the Sportscene highlights for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O_Kahn Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) Who on earth does Cormack appoint if Warnock does get booted? Leven apparently doesn't want it. An ex-player to try and get a very short term-boost (Black or McLeish)? Or someone who hasn't had a sniff of a job in a long time and would take a job for 2 months (Lennon?) I wouldn't advocate for any of the above but I can't see what other direction he goes in. Edited March 2 by O_Kahn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
