Is it? First 7/8 mins were great. After that it was mostly a training exercise. 

See what Celtic fans would think? We missed at least 3 good chances. 
 

Ive watched us get dominated by Celtic plenty and it’s looked like a training match. The last two games haven’t been that at all.

Didn’t play like that in all 8 games. 
 

Last 3 games have been a definite improvement.

I’ll have some of what you’ve been drinking please

You don’t think the two games against Celtic and one against Killie were an improvement on the Hibs and St Mirren for example? 
 

Yes we are shite but people just spout shite in one direction on here. Literally no balance in opinions whatsoever.

Maybe there was an improvement but we were still absolutely shite in all 3. You’re easily pleased if you’re happy with that

I would say we played alright in the two Celtic games and nae great against Killie. Kamberi has made a bit of a difference in the team for me.

Barely created a chance over 180 mins against the tims - can count them on one hand.

Meanwhile Ross County have pumped them twice

The latter 35 mins of the second half was like a training match for them. We were better second half, but can you tell me a save Bain had to make in the 80 mins after the Taylor header? What clear chance did we fashion from open play? 
 

We've definitely played a lot worse against Celtic, of that I'm aware. Contextually though, with the games that have gone before, today still wasn't good enough. 

[Ke1t]

We're not failing to score because we're unlucky, we're failing to score because collectively we have a team that doesn't create chances. 

This team needs a new manager with fresh ideas, and some money spent on mobility and creativity, the two most critical things we lack going forward. 

 

[Parklife]

That's got to be the worst Celtic side in a long time. Yet we've surrendered to them twice in 2 weeks. 

Shows how pathetic we are.

Clear chance for considine, was a bit behind him but should have done miles better. Header cleared off the line too.

When your only tactic is swing crosses in, you won't score many goals. It's a horrendous tactic that has an astonishingly low success rate (around 1% on average).

I thought Kamberi was terrible today...nothing like his first 3 games.

We're fucking lightweights. Scraped 1-0 home to bottom club and get mugged twice by the shittest tim side in decades. However you want to cut it since January its been bottom 6 form - probably bottom 2 or 3

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Right everyone.

Sit down.

Shut up.

Be careful what you wish for.

[DelMonte]

I’m not saying it’s acceptable. I’m saying the last 3 games aren’t near as bad as what we were seeing before.
 

If I’m getting words put in my mouth it becomes a pointless discussion.

We don't even swing in that many crosses. In open play we tend to hit the first man or play the ball backwards. And from free kicks... I don't even know what they're being taught to do for free kicks, because getting the ball in a dangerous area doesn't seem to be a critical part of our free kick philosophy.

We’re talking different shades of shite rather than playing ‘alright’. It’s absolutely horrific to watch.

That was bizarre.

Just went back and looked to see if McGinn was hurt... nope. 

Maybe it was contractual, because from a footballing sense it made no fucking sense at all. 

An appearance bonus for Dylan? Christ knows, makes no footballing sense.

I would've said they were half chances. Both fashioned from set pieces, the header wasn't strong enough to go in, and Considine never had it out his feet. 
 

I appreciate your optimism. It's commendable, and we could still get third, but there's no escaping how shit this is and has been.

Not posted on here for a while. I'd just like everyone to take a step back and look at where we are just now. We have scored one goal in 8 games. Not one point from 8 games, one goal in 8 games. I don't think any manager in the modern game, in any league, would survive that. Anyone accepting that, or making excuses for that, is a bigger loser than McInnes.

1 goal from open play in 14 games, thrilling stuff.

^Puts this mess into perspective  

[The beard of mcinnes]

A comfortable 1-0 defeat which seems something the management and team were comfortable with. 

Sad. 

[WesthillWanderersFC]

post match, John Kennedy even said “Aberdeen are good & better when they’re aggressive & on top of you”.

We HAVE to take that approach to games against that lot, from the start to the final whistle.
