AberdeenBud Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Expecting a decent crowd tomorrow? Think I'll fire along again after work, meant to be a nice night. Hopefully a bit better than the last game, but I suppose McInnes would be delighted with another 0-0. They've got to come out all guns blazing though so you'd think there will be opportunities for Aberdeen on the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AR851903 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 They have to come and have a go, which plays into our hands at Pittodrie. Would be happy enough with an uneventful draw and no injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Surely going to be pretty straight forward for Aberdeen tomorrow? I fancy Rijeka to win by a goal but Aberdeen should hopefully be solid enough to get through. A real test will come next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTG_03 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I think mcinnes will go ultra defensive and attack on the break. We are pretty solid defensively and dangerous on the break so should work. Can see a score draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La_Leyenda Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Fook me lads this Thread is setting you up for disappointment and egg on your face you ain't through yet , if Aberdeen can score 3 in 90 minuits so can this outfitOr, another way of looking at it; if we can score 3 in 90 minutes, then we can score another 3 when given another 90 minutes. but this team are from Croatia not Scotland. They probably won't have the Scottish fatalism that plagues every team in our country.In addition to last week, Scotland have beat Croatia home and away in recent times.Tell us more about how superior Croatia are as a footballing nation. Last time I checked Aberdeen were a Scottish team.Well at least you've done your research.For what it's worth, I don't think we'll be defensive at all. If we sit back and let them have the ball, they'll grow in confidence. If we put everyone behind the ball at home because we think we're inferior to them, they'll be encouraged. What we need to do is take the game to them and push them back. Do what we started doing after 20 mins in Croatia and force them to make mistakes, test their defence, and score. We're not going to go gung ho, we never do under McInnes. But rarely are we described as defensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But rarely are we described as defensive. They're not superior at all. Just that we( Scottish teams) can often resign ourselves to poor performances as if that's just the way things are you know like feeling sorry for St Johnston who had to fly to the middle of nowhere and play in high temperature! Oh well it was a rotten draw, its so hard for Scottish teams to get anywhere these day blah blah blah. Never mind they couldn't keep a fuckin clean sheet against 10 men. Aberdeen might well have a solid defence but I wouldn't fancy playing backs to the wall for 90 mins, they get a goal early and the place goes silent, they build in confidence and Aberdeen get nervous, if they get a 2nd they will go on and win. Need to treat this like its 0-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to treat this like its 0-0 I think we'll set up similar to last week but I'd hardly call it backs to the wall. We were set up to soak up pressure and attack when the opportunities presented themself. A counter-attacking system yes, backs to the wall no. If we are going to go defensive it will be in the first 20 minutes when they will come at us like a steam train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 No point in throwing players forward because they will take advantage of the space left in behind. A similar tactical plan to the last 70 minutes last week would be perfect, let them have most of the ball and break quickly with McGinn, Hayes, Logan, Pawlett etc. when we win it back.

Precisely this. They will have to throw players forward and while I am certainly not advocating sitting as far in as we did last week in the first 10 mins, we can let them come to us. Then release the Pawlett / Hayes on the break. Hopefully we get an early-ish goal and i won't be sitting in the RD biting my nails off again, like against Shkendija Another decent crowd too, looking forward to it.

John_B81 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 First time poster. As long as we apply the same game plan we did in Croatia, our defence will do enough to see the game out. Can't act like the tie is over, it's not by a long way. Anyone know of online TV coverage for tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to treat this like its 0-0 St Johnstone lost so therefore all Scottish football is sh*t. With respect, how many Scottish clubs have actually blown a first leg lead in Europe in recent years? All this "defeat from the jaws of victory" stuff is a bit of a myth is it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it would've been on RedTV again like the last round but think that's just for international subscribers this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Premier Sports = Not Box office. anyhoo, C'mon the sheep, would be good to have a couple of teams get into the group stages of either competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
