looks to me as if the Dons have more desire to progress to the final than our lot some of our lot need to be told a few home truths

They have done nothing except score a goal, due to our bad defending! we have dominated the match

Good start, then they had a spell, we took over again and they struck on the counter. In fact, it could be 2-0, bar that offside call (which was correct). McGregor's close-range skill have gone, seemingly. We have two DMs on the field, yet the waltz through time and again.

 

Tillman plays far too often far too deep. Kent again here, there and no-where to be seen. Hence, despite our dominance, once more far too disjointed. Alfie needs too many chances, even though he almost managed one.

 

Half-time tea needed again ...

Not saying that the defending isn't pathetic, but that ball would never have been played if the boy in the offside position wasn't there, so how hasn't he interfered with play?

Not disagreeing with your point there but to the rule the forward doesn’t interfere until he gets on the ball or obstructs a defender. No idea why our defenders switched off knowing play would continue as the forward didn’t show intent to go for the ball

That was a sore blow.  Disaster all round.

[Malangsob 1,264]

I see us scoring two, perhaps three in the second half.

 

We have been unlucky. 

 

Once we secure the first goal, the others will fall in much more easily.

 

This should be an enjoyable watch...much more clinical I suspect.

Interesting seeing Shinnie come into this  Aberdeen team from nearly nowhere and dominate the game. 
 

What a novel idea needing a midfielder and going to get one.

in a cup tie that's   all you have to do we lack skill guile and passion most other teams would be at least a couple up at half time against that lot but not us

We have been unlucky to an extent imo, would you prefer we just lump the ball forward like they do?

Fed up saying it we just cant defend  no more excuses drop the lot of them better still sell them they are useless
