That’s a good shout. I assumed the 4 as well, still think it might be. So back to last season with Shinnie & Nilsen. We’ve permed every permutation now, none of them fully click. Just pick one and persevere. I know we’ve Europe to contend with but this chopping and changing every week (and mid game) can’t help the players.

It's an understandable error, the young lad has a fair engine on him. He'd be getting up an down that flank all day.

It's Opta, and they are to blame for having Nilsen at LWB.

I think I've only been to Livingston away once too; a boring 0-0, and all I remember of it was the birth of the Leon Mike song. But like @JuteI do enjoy the two shopping centres next each other. @tlg1903 I thought it was a four at the back when I first saw the line up too, but I think it might be Shinnie at LWB. Aouchiche playing deep alongside Nilsen. I think he's resting Jensen with a view to starting him on Wednesday and resting Lobban.

The Beeb has it as a 3-4-2-1 with Lazetic up front.

Interesting. We played a 4-3-3 for part of the game on Thursday, so wouldn't be surprised to see it again. However, in my opinion it needs to be 4-2-3-1. Of course, it's probably going to be a back three, with Shinnie at wing back.

Or 3-4-2-1 ?

Back to a back 4, could be a 4231 or a 433.

said it before and will say it again. Start with Nisbet and Lazetic up front and we will win this comfortably. But start with the usual boring as fuk lineup and tactic from our boring as fuk manager and it will be 0-0 at best quite possibky 1 or 2 nil to Livi

don't really understand why they installed a new artificial pitch for this season when they knew in another year grass would be mandatory , unless I am mistaken

The link shows some articles , can read freely, If this is the latest it says council finance boss challenges Dave to find buyer himself: "If Dave Cormack needs to raise capital to fund the stadium, he should be looking to the private market to sell Pittodrie. If he was confident in it's value I am sure he would be able to sell it." Mr Cormack turned down the chance of a reply ......... quite right too (of the council bloke)

Billy Bonds - Ex West Ham United captain, away at 79. I remember my first Panini sticker book as a kid having the West Have Team of the time, around about 1980 ,and how old they all looked. 799 games for West Ham, but actually started his career at Charlton,

That is what this current team/squad of ours has reduced us to. The optimism from after the cup final is long gone.

He has a year and a half left with the option of an extra year. I suspect on current form he's already out of our price range and will probably go down south in January.

This situation really is quite bizarre when I think about it. We haven't lost in over a month, our last league game we beat the league leaders yet no-one is overly confident about going to the bottom of the table team and getting a win.

I'm seeing on the BBC Sport gossip that Aberdeen's plan to sell Pittodrie will be rejected by the council. There's a link to a P & J article there, but I'm not paying to read it.

Same reason as anyone else we sign, the single biggest factor in football nowadays......

I am going to need to check this out. It really is going to be interesting to see what effect he has on the club.

A guy he met at a training camp in Brazil was mates with the manager of Dunedin Technical and recommended him. Theres a whole chapter on his time in NZ. As well as the penguin theft there’s a cracking story of him being burgled, tracking down the guy who had fenced his stuff and beating him up, stumbling upon the original thief and both beating him up and stripping him in the street. Instead of being admonished by the police they later let him drive a police car through the streets in the early hours of the morning whilst yelling out the loudspeaker. As you do.

Sadly that Meadowbank stadium has gone and been replaced by a horrible plastic pitch with a bus shelter.

My only trip to that Meccano-based tip was in Ebbe’s day. We drew 0-0 which guaranteed a place in the Eurovision Song Contest or something. Darren Young was sent off, and we played for over 80 minutes with ten men. What a soulless artificial shitehole. Meadowbank was much better. A Proper Mannies’ brutalist, pre-Glasnost Budapest, Iron Curtain reinforced concrete gem. A great boozer nearby too. Unfortunately, the Maroons lost 3-1 to Edinburgh City in the Scottish Cup. Boo.

It’s on the list of stadiums to visit if I ever win the lottery.

It’s a cracking stadium. NZ played Peru in the WC qualifiers when we were travelling through but we missed the game by a few days. Their media is bonkers over there.
