Think they've done really well so far in this shape, Aberdeen have been limited to very few openings. De Lucas I'm not sure about but he may be in there to combat the pace of Duk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livingston 13 fouls, 1 yellow. Aberdeen 5 fouls, 2 yellow cards. Hope you go down. Nice stadium…& eh, that’s it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTG_03 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Polvara FFS. Simple pass to Miovski and that's a goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraniteGype Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Ooft. Grim. Woeful. Nae quality. Livi looked the more likely to snatch a win. If that performance is anything to go by, we will be eaten alive next weekend and in the Europa play offs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Great battling performance. Duk barely in the game after terrorising us last season, full credit to De Lucas for marshalling him. Jamie Brandon was terrific down the right and I thought Pittman was back to his best when he came on the pitch. Sangare looked good in the first half. Should have won it with Obileye's free header at the back post. Would have just about deserved it over the game. Hope Anderson is ok, that looked a very nasty injury.

Guthrie over Anderson? Why is Kelly not starting? Luiyi has barely played in preseason, surely Parkes/Nottingham/Boyes would be a better call for LCB? Brandon, while looking good in preseason, hasn't played 90 minutes for us... ever? Penrice?!? This has St Mirren '3-0 down by half time' vibes. Well, shows how little I know. Defensively, we were outstanding. Aberdeen have a genuinely quality attack and they didn't even have a shot on target. Guthrie had a great game, Luiyi had a great game. Brandon looked both excellent and horrific in equal measure. Play like that this season and we'll be nowhere near relegation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyQuinn Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) That was an awful standard of football to watch. Livingston played to their strengths. Disrupted and slowed the game. I thought Nouble had a really good game for them. As did De Luca? Duk was no existent. Unfortunately Polvara hasn't really improved since his loan move. Morris showed decent glimpses but his crossing was poor and his first touch was heavy at times. Duk was arguably the worst player on the pitch. Miovski dives too much and needs to get more involved. I thought McKenzie did well against Nouble. I like the look of Rubezic and I really like Nicky Devlin. I think we lost our last two matches away to Livingston so to be ultra positive its a point gained from previous outings there. We desperately need a replacement in for Ramadani. If Scales is signing, we need to speed that transaction up. And its evident we need two attacking minded midfielders.

thruthenight Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Most of the time I think people are overreacting to our style of play, but today we were absolutely guilty of the sneaky 'slow things down, hoofball, agression at the right time dark arts' pish that we've been accused of for the last 8 seasons. And I fucking love it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn Hooch Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Martindale's decision to go with Guthrie, Shinnie and Brandon over Anderson, Kelly and Penrice was spot on even if many Livi fans felt otherwise. Very physical game that I felt we edged over the piece. De Lucas was my MOTM for the way he completely nullified Duk. Big negative is 3 injured players (resulting from poor/late tackles and not the pitch before anyone starts) in our, already sparse, attacking ranks. No bad performances in a Livi shirt today though 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Yeah not a great start. Not necessarily that bothered by the result as we’re by no means guaranteed to beat anyone in the league but the performance was a worry. No creativity and no real attempt to change anything by Robson either through subs or tactics. I realise that’s not necessarily new for Robson but is still a worry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFCDannyFTH Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Brutal game and result which emphasises the need for some quality signings, especially with euro groups in the near future. On that showing, If we draw any decent teams we could be in for some embarrassment. Good to see Mikey Devlin back playing again, he and McKenna looked to be forming a cracking CB partnership for the Dons and Scotland before his injuries. Hopefully Anderson makes a speedy recovery too, horrible collision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thenorthernlight Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Terrible, terrible game of football played by two terrible, terrible teams. They didn’t deserve 0-0. Doubt I’ll see a worse game all season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dav nan Gael Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 Draw was a fair result,Aberdeen better 1st half,Livi 2nd half. Happy with a point on board to start the season,thought we'd lose but to be fair, there wasn't a bad performance in a Lions shirt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
