Interesting

Weird that I remember the guy at left back winning player of the season twice while we had quality like shinnie, McLean, christie, rooney, Hayes, McGinn and were coasting top 2

terrible times 

1 trophy in last 27 years or 2 trophies in last 32 years.

DM did quite well until 2017 cup final then deteriorated steadily thereafter.

Truth is for a one city club we have basically underperformed since 1990. DM did give us hope for 3 or 4 years from 2014 but we have to remember that during the majority of that period the Tims were the only team to beat and coming 2nd would have been the minimum expectation at the time. 

Finally big Andy was a fine servant to Dons but wasn't a true left back and would often get found wanting in big games I.e. first half against Copenhagen in Europa, semi final against QOS and 2017 Scottish Cup Final against Tims.

Back to my main point why does DM not believe in playing a recognised left back?

Ultimately the better teams will exploit weakness.

Last sentence is key.  He doesn’t (appear to) see the need to have a specialist player in key positions to win those big games.  Rather have a stand in and win most/some of them.  That’s surely enough isn’t it?

Enough to win 40% to 50% of his games as a manager, and enjoy moderate success in the grand scheme of things.

He is perhaps being a pragmatic realist but....., unfortunately, fans do want success in winning a trophy every now and again.

For that to happen you do really need to minimise the team's weaknesses and maximise the team's strengths.

DM was fine at the latter but not so good at the former.

It still annoys me that we should have challenged Tims far more when Deila was manager. An opportunity missed, which is unlikely to come along again anytime soon.

I think many people believed the lies they were told about Brexit by Bojo and Goblinteeth Farage, realised they were lied to in retrospect, but are too embarrassed to admit they were taken in, hence them subsequently excusing, or denying, the impact on many businesses who relied on EU trade deals to survive.

I can't believe folk still bang on about Brexit when for the last 2 and a half years, the entire World has been complicit in falling for the lies about this so called pandemic. Absolute small beer in comparison, not to mention the huge, nay, mahoosive effect on football clubs that the lockdowns had. Brexit's impact means what, you have to wait an extra couple of weeks to get a permit for a player? Boo hoo.

So called? You don't believe in the virus?

I'm a big supporter of our response but this virus is NOT a bad virus it is not a critical life threatening event for mankind

So was the problem was how many people got severely ill no again most recovered

The problem was that if you started with 10 people entering hospital on day one and each day that by the time the first person left hospital the population in hospital was over 100 and there was a breakdown of primary care

see Italy Feb 2020

It killed my father who was perfectly fine till it came along. And if you think the entire world went into lockdowns damaging their economies for years to come with no good reason, you're a real nutcase. How many millions does it have to kill in a year to BE a bad virus?

And what are your qualifications to make comment on it? Internet pundit? Graduate of YouTube?
