Aberdeen v Dundee (League Cup)
OrlandoDon replied to swaddon's topic in Aberdeen Football ClubI think that’s another good bench performance from Armstrong. I don’t think he’s capable of a strong and dominating performance as a starter, definitely feel we need another central mid, especially since palaversa isn’t in the plans. And I’m not suggesting allan Campbell.. Today

Cricket
Test cricket is the ultimate version of the athletic chess that is a fine sport. It is an ambition to get to a Test before I snuff it. County cricket - two innings each - over four days, is a fine spectacle, but too many of the top players rarely get a knock or an over because of the Test contract thingmer. Twenty Twenty and The Hundred (or Sixteen Point Six Seven Sixteen Point Six Seven as it’s disparagingly-known by fellow disparagits) is just rounders, so just fucking stop it. Limited overs stuff is fine in first class one-day trophy cricket, and when on holiday, I always take in the local village cricket where available. Ageing spin bowlers, batsmen like Desperate Dan, someone from the crowd asked to fill in fielding at deep third man (ie unlikely to be called into action), a beer tent or ‘refreshment stall’, athletes with the dietary awareness of Billy Bunter scoffing pies, sassidge rolls, and fancy pieces at the tea interval, and the inevitable six hit to cow corner where the windscreen of a Fiat or Skoda belonging to the fielding team’s wicket-keeper is shattered by a spectacular miscue from a number nine batsman. What’s not to love? -
Aberdeen v Dundee (League Cup)
Jormungandr replied to swaddon's topic in Aberdeen Football ClubHow about that moment when Cadden was possessed by the spirit of prime Javier Zanetti? Racing back to catch up wi his man, superb sliding tackle wins the ba, directs his team-mate where to go for the counter, and splits the defence with one pass - pity the new loon wisna up to speed to make anything out of it. -
Aberdeen v Dundee (League Cup)
The.Moog replied to swaddon's topic in Aberdeen Football ClubWell that was much more like it. Significantly better in every aspect of the game. Not much in it first half, but second we were really good. Everyone played their part. Keeper good one on one save at a crucial time. Defence pretty solid overall and the full backs contributed much more at the back and going forward. Obi 2 handled Bevan much better. He was decent today as was Cadden on the other side. Only concern was we still seem susceptible to the ball over the top and they did seem to get a lot of room wide from diagonal balls, but can’t argue with a clean sheet. Midfield much more in control, thought Aremu had his best game for us, bossed the middle compared to last week & Ronan adds a bit of composure for sure. Nisbet linked the play well and can’t argue with 2 goals at any time. Oh Lasagne is a handful, especially running in behind, but as we all know, can’t play football. New boy had a quiet first half understandably given he’s just in the door, but some finish and a great step over for the third. Very promising debut. Yogane was better and contributed more going forward including an assist. Can we get that level of effort, attitude & commitment every week though please. Give us that and you’ll not get many complaints, even when we lose… -
Aberdeen v Dundee (League Cup)
RicoS321 replied to swaddon's topic in Aberdeen Football ClubAbsolutely fucking shite. I was playing golf, so missed the game, and I'm only just catching up on the score. Interesting the 4-2-3-1. Always been the best formation for us. I didn't mention Ronan in my midfielder chat, because I haven't managed to get a good read on whether he could play deeper. Seems that might be the case after today, but I think it might backfire against better teams, in the same way it would if we played Armstrong there. All very positive though. -
Aberdeen v Dundee (League Cup)
TheDonbytheDee replied to swaddon's topic in Aberdeen Football ClubThought Dundee were the better team, up until Murray went off, our game from that point. An enjoyable second half and played some decent stuff at times. Not convinced we are a good team and suspect the huns will be a better test of gauging where we are as a team.

Aberdeen v Dundee (League Cup)
Panda replied to swaddon's topic in Aberdeen Football ClubNtelo definitely better in the middle. Him and Nisbet could be - as @OrlandoDon alluded to - the new Nisbet and Gueye. Olusanya and Yogane had better second halves, but would like to see Smith and Armstrong starting. We've three friendlies lined up before the Rangers game (Keith on Tuesday, St Johnstone next weekend, and dunno the third one) so plenty of time to get more minutes in the legs for the fringe players. Aremu and Ronan good defensively but still think we lack a bit of energy, it asks a lot of Cadden and GW to get up and down more. But we won, took the goals well, clean sheet, we're one game from Hampden, transfer window is still open. -

tlg1903 replied to swaddon's topic in Aberdeen Football ClubWell that was unexpectedly fun in the second half. As panda mentioned earlier we don't have a game for two weeks and not getting through would have been a bit grim. Completely the opposite now. -

irnbru1903 replied to swaddon's topic in Aberdeen Football ClubMuch better effort today compared with the first two games. Still a lot of mistakes that we need to cut out but in the right direction. Time will tell if they are good enough to be classed Aberdeen players. -

Slim replied to swaddon's topic in Aberdeen Football ClubNtelo looked like a competition winner out in the wing in the first half. Looks like a different player through the middle.
