faraway saint Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Well, a bit of a damp squib. Early goal, gave them the opportunity with schoolboy defending, a good finish right enough. Huffed and puffed for over an hour, one disappointing attempt at attack after another. Aberdeen are beatable, we never looked like doing that. Easier to accept if we'd been pumped but a real chance gone. Ach, at least Ant and Dec was good TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornwall_Saint Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Aberdeen were there for the taking last night. We didn’t threaten their goal with much, we forced one save in a match we were chasing from the start. Goodwin claims we were the better side. Aye we pinned them back most of the 2nd half but at no point were the Dons defending like their lives were at stake. Shite through balls, shite crosses, shite decisions. The Sheep didn’t need to step out of first gear. Piss poor for a QF at home. I’d have been alright with defeat if we had made Aberdeen earn the win, but we offered very little against a beatable side and that’s the most annoying thing. Based on that alone Aberdeen fully deserve their victory because we didn’t ever look like clawing a goal back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the barrhead teacher Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Weather conditions did not help but the early Aberdeen goal set the scene for a dire game. Four, maybe five 'shots' in total throughout game from both teams? We had some pretty, short passages of good possession and passing but really never looked like doing enough in final third to break them down. We just lack the quality and guile to break down teams who sit back. We have a chance in more open games unfortunately this wasn't one of them and Aberdeen did what they do best sitting on a one goal lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominated possession in the second half, but didn't lay a punch on them, mainly because our final ball lacked any quality. Even our free kicks and corners were poor. Erling Haaland would have struggled to score for us last night. Hopefully Conor will learn from last night and boot the ball to f**k the next time.

Come back and tell me this when we have a chance of winning it. The League is corrupt and pointless. Friendly matches every week from August to May. Be there by paying between £22 and £30 per match.

lovestlegend Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 When Ilkay’s not firing then there is no creativity in the team. McGrath been a huge disappointment so far. McAllister same and far too injury prone. Disaster giving him a three year deal. Andreu, far too inconsistent. MacPherson and Foley both been good but don’t create a lot of chances. It’s a worry. There are no match winners there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windae cleaner Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 10 hours ago, Big Yards said: All Goodwin cares about are the 2 goals conceded. That tells you of the negative defensive outlook our manager seems to have. His 1st thought should've been about our lack of creativity and failure to have 1 shot at goal as the home team in a cup quarter final!! That's a fair point As someone has said Durmus isn't on his game we really struggle McAllister,Andreu and McGarth have been disappointing so far Set plays are very poor especially since we aren't blessed with height Hanging balls up ain't going to work Livi and the Fakes have shown over the years how valuable set plays are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Pityme Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 The thing is... they scored first and sat back.....that's the game summed up in a nutshell..That it simples...Once they scored McInnes & team knew they only had to hold us, to get to Hampden. And we couldn't create anything unlike recent games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 we just didn't create anything of note. Yes. we had plenty of possession but nothing to show for it. No end product. I'm not sure it was Aberdeen's defending that stopped it. We just made the wrong decisions in the final third. Poor day at the office. Let's hope it's a blip and we get things right v the saintees.

Dissapointing on many levels is what I said. That's what it was. We weren't alone in the stay away fans department. Easter Road and Tynecastle also looked half full. Both Hibs and Hearts went on to win. We didn't, despite having more possession, more attempts (6 - 5) (1 on target, they had 2 one of them a penalty) and more corners (8-3) It certainly wasn't from lack of effort either as our guys ran their socks off. Aberdeen were thoroughly professional and after scoring created a very strong defensive unit that we just couldn't find a way through. Onwards to the next league game.

Gordon Urquhart Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Horrible last night, wished I'd stayed at home. McGrath out of his depth sadly, looks like a championship player. Rest no better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsidebud Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Couldn't make the game but was able to watch on telly - really disappointed We just never looked like doing anything With Rangers just going out as we kicked off, a victory would not only have taken us to Hampden, it would have given us a 67% chance of getting a realistically winnable semi (assuming Celtic get through) and getting us back to the Scottish Cup final. Aberdeen are no great shakes just now and we have matched up well against them all season - it should have been a great night. A golden opportunity squandered.
