Whisper it... We've been better since Tavernier and Dessers came on...

I'm bored with this team I have to say. Any time we look like turning a corner its back to square one. Dreading Wednesday night

Scrappy performance but a shaky defensive display first half unsettled the whole team as was being unable to hold the ball up front. Butland looked suspect once again at a goal which must be a concern

Propper is worse than Ben Davies - how is that even possible?

I've not seen him play properly. Mainly data driven. Even if they can't, I'd still like us to hoover up all Scottish talent.

Separatists...

Was there and a absolute cretin of a referee made the game even worse. IMO we have found the ideal pairing in midfield with Raskin(my M.O.M) and Barron. Could the big right back be our next Bassey if he keeps up today's display in two positions. Dessers deserved high credit for his part in our second.

I thought Nana fizzed a few good balls into midfield when he dropped in at CB.

Three points from a scrappy game in the rain, and some more terrible refereeing from the latest terrible ref. For me the lad Igamane is still in the prospect stage as Dessers was a vast improvement. Bring on the sheep on Wednesday

We won, just enough!.

So from the euphoria of Thursday to having to look at polishing turds again on Sunday. An oh so familiar pattern.

Thank f*ck that's over...

Moving big Kas to CB has killed the threat of St Mirrens striker who bullied propper all day

I don’t suppose it matters how many he creates if big pudding head up front falls over the ball

Maybe wait until the chances created dry up too? (Incidentally, Cameron and Miller look promising.)

Just read that Thursday game was our 91st European game since Stevie Gerrard took over from Pedro. Decent record since then as well ; W39 D26 L26

I think Barron does a cracking job and Raskin is similar but neither is a creative player. Diamonde started well but has definitely gone off the boil and has been a passenger recently. Lawrence isn't very good. Dowell is a waste of space. Hagi or Bajrami should be playing at No.10.

Aberdeen are currently everything we are not - a settled team, playing a decent style and unbeaten in the league thus far. They have momentum, are consistent and deserve their position in the league. That can all change but can't say I'm confident at going to Pittodrie and can only see one outcome (hopefully I'm wrong)

First half we were really bad. Second half we looked much better but still aren't nearly clinical enough and seem to invite nervy endings more often than not. Our midfield creates virtually nothing. I have very little confidence in us even getting a point at Pittodrie, which is bloody depressing.

Yes, both were injured

He did and looked a lot more comfortable at CB - however, he did play a few loose passes as well. Its never going to happen but we need to look at changing formation, it just doesn't work against SPL teams

Cerny has really improved since Lyon (Killie aside). Dessers is not scoring so glad someone else has stepped up. Thought that was a good forward move by Diomande too for his goal. Good forward thinking.

We are a team of wet wipes being bullied today.

Glad Tav, Dessers and Lawrence are nowhere near this team today........

Just bullied there, great corner though. Keeper should have done much better imo.

Not before time the manager shouted come in number two you’re times up 😉 now onward and upwards 🎶on Rangers on victory is nigh 🎶from the terraces you can hear the cry 🎶come away the Rangers 🎶you’ll know us by our noise 🎶

Surely a top five would have been a better option. You should be ashamed of yoursellf for uploading that sixth face on these pages.

On the bench.

Just seen the team! No Tav and Igamane instead of Dessers. Can this really be?

I like the look of Cameron. Could he play in the same midfield as Barron?

Sorry, I didn't crop the image very well. Chances created are on the right hand side. The numbers underneath their names are chances per 90. Their total chances created are on the right hand side. The per 90 stat is the better one, to be fair, because it takes into account how much they actually play.

Yamal became the youngest scorer in El Classico at 17yrs of age a classic example of it he’s good enough he’s old enough

Real Madrid 0 Barcelona 4 tonight - Barca outstanding................. Credit where its due. Barca are my Spanish team unusually - a lot of our fans are Hala Madrid etc

I take it Hagi is suspended for this one? I'd prefer to see Bajrami tried in the No.10 position. Maybe get Lovelace on the left.

Bajrami is a playmaker that has been shoehorned into a left winger slot. Attacking MF - 136 games - 23 goals - 21 assists Central midfield - 48 - 6 - 4 Left winger - 21 - 3 - 5 Right winger - 21 - 1- 2 Lawrence ... Left winger - 191 - 37 - 25 Second striker - 67 - 9 - 12 Attacking midfield - 40 - 11 - 3 ... though they probably battle it out with one another once Cortes and/or Matondo return.

Davie Macpherson - 276 appearances, 27 caps and never rated by anyone. He looked awkward but was actually really effective. Stuart Munro - from the same era, underrated fullback, played 179 times, wasn't signed from Italy or England and so was often overlooked by media, supporters and management.
