Alex_14 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Happy I didn’t waste money on that. A vintage McInnes ‘big game’ performance. Said it a few weeks ago, it’s nights like last night that mean I’d not be overly bothered if he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksburnDandy Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Feel like Bob Willis or Geoffrey Boycott when the English cricket team suffer a collapse, coming off a long run up here. This has been coming all season, the signs were there when we were winning but have never been addressed. Firstly the manager – wow, just wow. How many times does he need to do the same bottling, sitting back shitting himself display before he learns that the way to play the OF is to get high up the pitch, be aggressive and get after them? He’s a shitebag in these games. The list is lengthy in the last season and a half alone: Rangers in September when Maddison dug him out, Celtic at home in October, Celtic in the LC Final, Rangers at Ibrox in December, Celtic at Parkhead in February, Rangers at Pittodrie in April, Celtic in May at Pittodrie, Celtic at Pittodrie last month and last night. NINE times in the last eighteen months he has done the same thing and it has not worked. It is the definition of idiocy. And he never takes responsibility for his mistakes, “I might have made a mistake with the formation”, no you quite clearly did, admit it! His recruitment has not worked. He bought players on reputation alone rather than current form.· GMS – barely played for Celtic last season and looks a lost little boy in the wrong movie.· Stewart – nowhere near fit· Tansey – no form at all last season and absolutely none this season, a Championship level player at present· May – bursts but it’s going to take all this season to find his form· Arnason – meh, not been poor, not been great· Christie – best of a bad bunch by a long way but idiotic way to get sent off· Maynard – waste of money so far, were far better with Stockley and Storey· Ball – Championship level at best As for the players, a display of utter immaturity last night. Tansey, pushing on for the worst 40 minutes I can remember from a professional footballer. Christie stormed round after his caution and was always walking close to the edge. GMS after the incident where he failed to score running 30 yards to the ref was always going to result in a caution. A total lack of responsibility on the ball, a total lack of cohesion and a number of players not good enough. I like Des but he’s found out against the better teams, Considine is woefully exposed without Hayes. Shinnie and McLean did a lot of hard work last night but ultimately let down by their teammates. McInnes has a lot to answer for. Into December and he doesn’t have a clue how to play his team, his signings haven’t been up to scratch and he has to sort it, because for the money we are paying him since summer, he is under-performing.

Must have the worst record there out of all the SPL teams. Although Thistle seem to lose there all the time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kneetrembler Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 That was an unmitigated disaster for Aberdeen last night. Rangers were better in every department. it was like winding back the clock 20 years. I am devastated. We absolutely shat it. Again. Rabbits in the headlights. Am gan tae greet.

He looked like a man/boy who had lost the plot right from the start....ignoring some bad tackles then waving yellow cards in player's faces for innocuous challenges, all the time with that manic, red faced, bug eyed, sweating look that was his auld man's trademark. His inability to have any sort of empathy with the flow of the game meant that a red card was inevitable. It was almost like he had one pre-planned from the beginning. He wasn't to blame for us losing....that was solely down to McInnes....but it's frustrating to have a game ruined by a referee who is so obviously promoted beyond his abilities simply because of who his dad is. Pipe down. Your big team won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 3 hours ago, Estragon said: Is this not what Kris Boyd said and got taken to the cleaners about? Between this episode and the Ian Cathro disaster, it's almost beginning to look like he actually knows a bit about the football... Boyd was completely wrong about Cathro. He said he would fail because he'd never played football, he used a laptop, he was too timid and would therefore be incapable of communicating with players or winning their respect. In reality, none of those things were issues at all. The players all spoke extremely highly of him and his training sessions, even after he/they left Hearts. Cathro was a disaster because his tactics were consistently as bizarre as Aberdeen's last night and his recruitment was absolutely terrible, neither of which had anything to do with Boyd's criticisms. He was talking utter shite and the manner of Cathro's failure didn't change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdTheDuck Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Just now, Menzel said: Dons could win the treble and you'd still wouldn't be convinced by the management. An unfortunate turn of phrase because Aberdeen would never win the treble under McInnes, he would crash and burn in the semi finals or final for sure and the opportunity to go top would see his natural caution kick in and 'play it safe, something Aberdeen patently cannot do. He is a good manager, but I think his level is probably as support act. He doesn't believe he can (or maybe 'should') win against the OF (deceased) and he doesn't believe his team can actually win the league. He is immersed in the Old School WoS thinking that everyone else is subservient to them I'm afraid, he plays the name, not the game. However, as everyone keeps pointing out "compared to what went before..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
