Match Thread Dundee United v Aberdeen (1 - 3)

[yamcha777]

Hes only had 11 starts 8 of them he has been subbed. that isn't a fair crack of the whip surely

[muttonhumper]

Believe any of this???

 

Tyrone Smith ‏@TyroneSTV 1h

Dundee Utd will be without GMS (chest infection) for tmrw's visit of Aberdeen - Armstrong, Rankin and Paton also injury doubts

I don't but I hope he is right. That is their whole midfield.

All of it.

 

Big Tyrone tells the truth all the time.

 

Ciftci missing would be a bigger bonus.

[SheepieBaaBaa]

Hopefully we get the win, but if you look at the combinations of possible results, a 2nd place decider at Pittodrie is looking pretty likely. To be honest I wouldn't change to much. If they go at Utd like they went at Celtic then we'll certainly score goals. Whether that means we'll win is another story. We managed to win games for better part of the season without Rooney, just need to lift the heads for these last 2 games.

Dont get me wrong - I'm all about chances given...but I was at a lot of the games he started, and he was fucking gash. God bless him n all, but aye - better players are a dime a dozen.

[reidserdandy]

Maybe the chance Zola needs to show us what he's got

[Tord31]

Weve already seen Zola 1-0 Dundee United this season?

[G31DON]

Zola is the least athletic professional athlete i had ever seen. You really need to see him in the flesh to see how dreadful he is. His 'pretend' attempts to close down a defender and his subsequent slow down and turn look exactly like a cruise ship attempting a hand brake turn, and take as long.

Add to that the dismal first touch, inability to control his limbs and despite being about 6'5" & 17st giving of the impression he is made of very thin glass...apart from that he is quite good

 

Ross county seem to have his twin in Jordan Slew

[ChutneyLove]

He has scored goals in his career - I think he just needs to get his fitness level up to perhaps speed up his reactions. If he can't be arsed doing that, then that's his own fault, he won't get games. I think he'll play against United. I think McInnes should go with two up front, neither Vernon or Zola suit being a sole attacker.

[tightbreeks]

zola could provide knock downs for Vernon. Vernon could hold it up for some dandy following up. that could be the only thing that Vernon is good at, and lack of thought finishing can surprise us sometimes.

 

one last push, let's get wired in from the get go.

 

I can't believe some hacks think lennon should've won the manager of the year!

[G31DON]

1-1.

I have money on the draw so expect a win for either side. Dundee UTD 1 win in 9 against us since 03/11

 

maybe we could try and pass the fucking ball around on the ground at pace and with some movement...we have been so static up front for weeks now. There has been a gaping chasm between midfield and Rooney since Celtic SCQF. Too much hoof ball up to Rooney with no one supporting

[muttonhumper]

Are you Shay Logan?

He thought we played Celtic in the SCQF too.

[Mr Brightside]

I would go with McGinn up top on his own with pawlett, Hayes and Robson in behind him.

[Mikeyboy1903]

Hearing that Jackie Mc isn't going to risk the "Injury doubts" due to the Cup final.

 

Bonus for us but means that they'll have a team wanting to show themselves to the manager.

[RTYD]

McGinn through the middle for me. Keep the ball on the deck and get forward with pace. Pawlett and Robson vital for this one.

[weapon]

Agree with this, but key is keeping the ball on the deck as if the defence pump their normal aimless balls forward......he'll have no chance!!

 

Although I can also see Zola doing well against United defence, especially if he hangs off Souter who everytime i see him gives something away

[King Street Loon]

McGinn through the middle.

 

I'd have Pawlett and Hayes out wide and Robson in behind McGinn.

More likely to have Robson finding a through ball to McGinn than Pawlett at the moment. Use Pawlett's pace on the wing. Although his crossing is nowhere near as good as Robson's.

[Guest findlay_1903]

Can I PATG tonight? Tried phoning afc, but they don't want to talk to me.

[Dynamo]

Yes.

[Guest findlay_1903]

In all stands? I would like to be in the shed amongst fellow like minded reds.

[newcastlered]

Zola and Vernon up front together? Jesus fuck there's more speed and subtlety in tectonic plate movements. Have to start Mcginn up front with Smith, Pawlett and Hayes behind. Robson and flood in midfield.

[The Cockney Don]

Langfield

Logan - Anderson - Reynolds - Robertson

Jack - Flood

Pawlett - Robson - Hayes

McGinn

 

 

2 - 2 (hayes & pawlett)

[rossafc92]

His 'pretend' attempts to close down a defender and his subsequent slow down and turn look exactly like a cruise ship attempting a hand brake turn, and take as long.

 

Perfect description.

[reidserdandy]

3-1 the dons mcginn double and one for zola COYR!!!

[alscotoz]

Draw 1-1. Finish the job on the weekend.

[gla5gowdon]

Need to go all out for the W tonight, puts pressure on Motherwell tomorrow and they'll have to come and attack us on Sat - this will suit us.

[ScottishJohn]

In all stands? I would like to be in the shed amongst fellow like minded reds.

 

I think the shed is sold out

[tommo1903]

As long as he doesn't play them together.

That first half at Paisley in September was brutal.

[Don Fonte]

In all stands? I would like to be in the shed amongst fellow like minded reds.

PATG for Fair Play upper and lower only. £25 and £22 respectively.
