Fatigue was probably the true cause of the loss to Aberdeen. Our team cannot continue to compete playing with 10 men in so many games, both in Scotland and abroad and then not expect it to eventually have an impact on the way the team plays. When our team tires, it runs out of ideas. Sure, it doesn't help that the midfield of Ejaria and Coulibaly has lost its 'groove', with the pressure then placed on Jack's shoulders. Against the mentally challengeds, the away game in Russia three days before was a damage limitation approach because our guys were dead on their feet. No amount of good training can keep up the stamina levels if we continually have to play long periods with 10 men. We expect our guys to be super heroes. We have to be more realistic, especially as we have over achieved so far on the park. The irony is, we could win next week in Vienna, but it will cripple our chances of winning the League. I know where my priorities lie.
