What makes this thread so hasty? We have a far too long a history of calling for heads after one bad cup result, so why should this be any different? And to claim that McGhee hasn't done a lot wrong is just nonsence, he even said himself that he got it wrong on Thursday night.
Miller and Mackie upfront didn't do anything, but I don't think I remember a single occasion when they had any service too do anything, and despite not managing a single shot on goal, I think we're all in argreement that it's not up front where all the problems lie. Aluko managed nothing, but as their manager said before the game, he's our most dangerous player, and they marked him out the game, and he just couldn't shake them, if anything he should have came off earlier.
Despite it being the poorest back 4 anybodys ever seen, it was set up the completely wrong way, Stevie Wonder sould see that a defence that shakey needed more support from midfield, and not a 3-man midfield pushing up to attack.
Agree about Kerr, McDonald should be the new captian IMO.
I think we need a whole new back 4. Mulgrew can't defend, and in midfield he didn't look any better, yes, he can hit a decent free kick every now and then, but 6 or so a season, we can't really afford passengers like that in our team. On his day Foster can look like a half decent full back, but looks better when he pushes up a little. Considine is a liability. Diamond is a good centre half, but we need cover for him too.
And this team that "can't be trusted on big nights", are you suggesting that Sigma Olomouc are somehow bigger or better than Hertha, Dnipro, Lokomotive, Copenhagen or Bayern, to name the last 5 European teams who've came to Pittodrie and not managed to win.
Didn't think Langfield had that bad a game, not one for the scrapbook, but with the defence the way it was he did alright.
