20 seconds for Nouble to go down in installments. 

Impressive.

Miovski went down holding his face when Fitzwater's arm made contact with his chest. Attacking players try to win fouls.

That backheel turn from Duk in the Aberdeen right back area was brilliant.

 

Livi are 4-5-1 without possession and nominally 4-3-3 in possession but it's often more a 4-4-2 as Stephen Kelly is peeling left while Nouble moves infield close to Anderson.

Yip. Livi fans get upset when you point it out about Nouble though.

Example just now of why attackers maybe should go down at times. Devlin almost had Duk in a headlock yet no free kick because Duk stayed up.

Usual away gameplan from Livi. Defense-first mentality first half then open up more second half. Almost got to half time at 0-0, great covering block by Devlin on McCrorie's shot. We conceded too many corners and that was a theme all half. Caught out in the "second phase" of one where the marking had gone to shit. Obileye lost his header and the other defenders bizarrely didn't see the need to pick up Miovski.

Duk, Clarkson, Miovski and Duncan all look really on form today so trying to attack more ourselves while not conceding a second will be a difficult balance.

Changes are exactly what I wanted. Sean Kelly's attempts at deft passes were giving up possession too easily. Holt's simpler passing is needed. Moving to the 5-3-2 allows Nouble more freedom as a forward and gives Anderson support. Penrice can get higher down the left now. Defensively, Obileye is best when middle of three centre backs.

Dont understand those substitutions at all - take an attacking winger off for a central defender?

 

It's because our full backs were being completely pinned back by Duk and Duncan first half and we need our full backs for attacking width. The hope with the change is Devlin and Penrice can get forward now with the security of three centre backs to cover Duk, Duncan, Miovski if Aberdeen counter.
