It certainly passes the eye test. I always like to back it up with stats, though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young, ambitious, with a desire to move to bigger leagues. You just compared Jefte with 'prime Barisic' - are you expecting us to sign kids that are better than Croat internationals in their prime? That none of these players seem to be progressing is either an issue with their mindset or a coaching issue (Cortez excluded, due to injuries), although could be a bit of both.

This is now his team, his signings, his tactics, his training, his fitness regime etc. 1 solitary goal away from home says it all, that's nothing to do with Aberdeen and all to do with Clement/players. I didn't say Aberdeen had anything to do with us dropping points. Aberdeen have a new manager and a pretty large change of personnel with fewer resources. The comparison of their fortunes and ours does not give clement a good look. I will bow to the XG god though, hopefully he strikes soon.

You don't need an xG to tell you that 2 shots on target (Cerny Dessers) and 1 noteworthy cross (Tav) during 90mins of football is a disgraceful stat in itself. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will have to get a whole load worse before Clement is sacked. The support have to remember that generally, we pledged patience and that to repeat the annual sacking would only set us back further, #omnishambles² Get used to the fact that we aren't winning the league this season and give it a chance. This season was never going to be pretty. The expectation and pressure that comes from that are only hindering any possible improvement. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 5,257 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 We could go for a different approach. Get managers in on a 6 month contract and change every six months. Go for a neverending steady new manager bounce. I'll phone John Gilligan and chuck my hat in for the CEO gig. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more of Aribo, Bassey and Kamara. Combined cost less than £1M and sold for in excess of £30M. The players you listed cost in excess of £10M and will be lucky (under current form) to break even on them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
