Aberdeen sack Derek McInnes

[maryhilldon]

Genuinely can’t believe Shinnie is as disliked as Brown. I must have some serious red tinted specs on!

Not 'as' disliked as Brown, that's impossible. Just disliked.

Eh? One of the nicest guys on the planet

Hardy bastard on the pitch though. The type all opponents hate.

[Chewie37]

Your giving him too much credit, it was what it said on the tin.

Eh? Am I giving myself too much credit?

Always the thing that strikes me watching back the 80’s vids. Just what a hard bastard Miller was. Great player but fucking nails.

Tbf that's how standard debate works on here.

 

You say one thing, some idiot tells you what you apparently meant by it then they spend the next hour moaning about that.

Miller was the complete package. AFC Damned lucky, he stuck with them,

Most certainly is.

 

Comes from a lovely family. Bit like that Dean Campbell!!

Haha I was more confused than normal

I still think he's doing a very good job.

 

However, last 2 home games against the old firm have resulted in 8 goals conceded. This is after he instructs the team to 'pick and choose' when to press.

 

I remember him saying last season we had the fittest team in the league, but in the last 5 mins of the game last night we looked dead on our feet- see Defoe goal.

 

Why can't we implement a press, at home, for 90 mins? If we have the fittest team in the league? That very much annoys me. We sit off and allow players like Forrest, Kent whoever to run at us.

 

The first half last night we had Logan chasing Kent across the pitch, which suggests to me a lack of organisation. The defensive line at the FK made the offside decision before the penalty harder than it should have been.

 

I completely understand when you're up against it in Glasgow, how you should sit in and frustrate the opposition sides, but at home, in front of a full house, we always seem to surrender any urgency and direct play through absolute fear. That's my big complaint under McInnes. The negative tactics in these games has failed to work more often than they've worked. I feel like last night we should've been coming away with at least a point.

I thought we looked a good bit stronger and more energetic than them for most of the second half , and especially in the closing stages.

 

The only time I saw anyone looking dead on his feet was their fourth goal when Shinnie just made no attempt to go after Tavernier as he moved infield. But it's no wonder that Shinnie had nothing left in his tank by that stage

 

I thought the worst decision McInnes made last night was bringing on McGinn. We had them on the ropes , but I think we lost a bit of momentum with McGinn as he tends to slow things down

I'd have brought on May to run around like a dafty.

Out of contract in 15 months and no word of it being extended?

Very disappointed by the progress in that hour.

 

Sack the board.

[King Street Loon]

Do you think that's funny?

It wasn't his best, but it brought on a chuckle.

Plenty of time

[ericblack4boss]

perhaps his missus is needing him to come back closer to home. afaik he is away from his family for 4-5 days a week

[BWG]

Maybe he's just solely focussed on the football just now.  Just like GMS and Shinnie.

[Tord31]

15 months is presumably the closest he has been to the end of a contract since he left St Johnstone.

[Hewitt a the pies]

Here's hoping he's opened contract talks with himself.

[reekie_dock]

Safest job in the league he’s gan nowhere

[BWG]

Should have been moved on at the end of last season. The writing was on the wall.

 

A bang average manager who has done nothing other than achieve the bare minimum.
