Does a replay count normally as a match missed for suspension purposes?

Cue quick rule change prior to Wed

I think I'd take Arfield off before McCrorie. 

You were clearly correct.  Arfield was off the pace today

Yeah - I think the rule is "games in which you would otherwise be eligible to play" - which means it counts.

On reflection, I think we defended very well. And, we actually created a few chances -- but, we were still really, really poor up front. It's all the more frustrating, in that sense.

McGregor had his easiest game of the season.  Literally NOTHING to do.

Poor performance tonight, but we live to fight another day, about all you can say really!.

Dire ...

 

... and I am totally at a loss why we never changed a thing down to the 83rd and 86th, when it was all but comsetic and we kept the similar shape. 

Tom Miller on commentary got it spot on dB.  It was a tough game to make changes given the intensity and energy of the game.  Not only that, but Killie weren't giving us any trouble.  So I can see why he waited so long.

Of course we are always going to miss Morelos, however our midfield was poor mid to front so I'm not sure he would have made much of a difference tonight, I think? not much in quality crosses into the box.

Does everyone still think the diamond was at fault for the last game at Kilmarnock? I thought we looked far less threatening tonight than we did that night, where we lost due to two individual errors. That was a much more familiar 4-4-3 away performance than Pittodrie where we played a team too proud to sit in. 

Don't tell anyone or we'll get thrown out the Cup

Replay a week on Wednesday apparently.
