Match Thread (Europa League) Aberdeen 5 - 1 BK Hacken

Seems like their fans don't hold out much hope

Without Friberg, Samuel and Irandust, we can not even dream of reversing this. Unfortunately, they gave up the opportunity in Scotland. Better to give young guys like Milo and Adjou some match time.

 

[Bournemouth Gee]

2-3

Am I unblocked again?

Yes its unsurprisingly in Swedish given that's their native language. Google automatically translates though.

To be fair I would've underestimated us going on how we performed last season and given we haven't made that many signings. Given they had strung a few wins together, they were right to think they had a good chance. 

The home leg performance was not what people were expecting. Hopefully it suggests something is going well behind the scenes and continues tomorrow. 

Agree with that. We were shite, but now we’re fucking ace…3-1 Dons tomorrow…

Seems they’re ‘out for revenge’ so will clearly come at us early like a wounded animal. If nothing else it will make for a pretty exciting/feisty game.

be interesting to see how Glass sets us up for it. Hopefully not too apprehensive/protective & hope for rare counter which is exactly what Mcinnes would have is like in circumstances.

 

 

[fine-n-dandy]

I’ll go for a 3-2 or 4-2 either way & a feisty game.

could be some nerves if they were to get a couple of early goals &/or a penalty/red card against us

Game seems to be getting streamed live on Skybet tonight for anyone that is interested

[starryfish]

I'll be interested to see what our plan B is if we fall behind and things aren't working tonight, also if the likes of Jet or Ramirez get injured be interested to see who would replace them.

Skybet said they were going to stream the first leg, then didn’t

Think we need to start quickly and try to get an early goal to kill the game off.

Can see this game having quite a few goals, probably for both teams.

Our plan B should if we go behind should be to stick with plan B. Were 4 goals in front. Hacken will need to over commit and press (which they tried last week) and we should be able to counter in the space.

Maybe if we go 2 or 3 down, depending on the timing, we may need the so called plan B. I doubt we'll need it and really am not interested in finding out tonight. I'd far rather prefer it to be a very controlled match

I'm not really interested in seeing either of those scenario's tbh ?

Not good we are about to start the season with just one recognised striker . 

[Big Hat Logan]

Be interesting to see if the first leg was a true reflection of this team. Still think we need a centre half though.

I think both sides will score tonight, I’ll go 2-2. If we can get through without any injuries I’ll be delighted.

[Tord31]

How many bookings for a suspension? Should we be resting Consi?

I can see us keeping a clean sheet. Lose 1 at most. they've apparently had a few midfielders drop out through injury and are talking about putting their aging central defenders (Tovio and another) into midfield with Martin Olson and another going into CH.

We don't need to chase the game, so I'm looking for a controlled performance

The JET / Ramirez replacement would probably depend on how the game was going. Generally, I'd imagine the replacement would be McLennan up top rather than out wide. 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Interesting one for Mclennan.  What was the game he came into as centre forward for the first time (it was a must score if I remember), smashed one off the bar quite early and then couldnt make the breakthrough thereafter.  Had that gone in I reckon we'd have had a different player on our hands now.

fair enough, plenty discussion, mostly I proposed we make more changes than is likely. I suggested that Considine should be protected on yellows.

3 yellows and a totalised suspension which resets at the group stage. No immediate risk for Considine, but if he were to pick up an unnecessary booking tonight, he'd be on a tight rope for the next round and potentially the PO round

Jenks came on (albeit very briefly) for Ramirez. not sure if he swapped positions with JET as the time they had on the pitch they seemed pretty level
