Sheep Shaggers actually show up for once 3-3 (All comments in here)

Well multiple teams got leaked. One of them was right... Apparently?


Why have they gone back to 4 at the back if true? Is that not the same formation they used before we hammered them in the 29th?

They took Welsh off at half time on Thursday night and went to 4 at the back.

They looked marginally better.
 
The sheep will only try until they score, then down tools after a second tramp goal.
This is an ongoing pattern that emerges every home game against the tramps.
McInnes isn't bothered as he doesn't get that much heat over a defeat against them

Celtic are talked up more on here than they are even by their media cheerleaders by the way. '5-0 to them' etc, gives you the boak.

Do grown men really think players like Ross McCrorie or Lewis Ferguson would accept being told they have to lie down and let Celtic win, or that McInnes would actually tell them to?

It's embarrassing patter.

Im willing to bet most believe it's more of an indictment on the sheep than glowing praise for the mentally challengeds

They notoriously lie down to those pricks. The proverbial bitch, even.

They couldn't even lay a glove on the dildo's mhank team.

A pathetic club and support.
 
Aberdeen are arguably at the strongest they’ve been in a Long time, they’ve players who are more than capable of giving the bheasts a game and making the game difficult for them. The problem isn’t the players (well McKenna is away) it’s the management team and their failure to even press the bheasts.

If they showed the same thought and tactics that they put into Rangers games then there could be a potential for an upset but they don’t, they sit off and let them play their game.
 
It's an interesting move if they go to a back 4. They will then be relying on Frimpong and Laxalt to sit in and defend. They're more wing backs than traditional full backs. It also puts more emphasis on the 2 centre halves being solid. It will also mean losing the 2 players up front which did work for them last season. It's a big call and I'm not so sure they have the players to play another formation.

It's clueless pish from folk.

What McInnes says in public and what he says privately to his players will be 2 completely different things.

He'll fancy his chances of turning the mentally challengeds over today.

I agree with this re players not lying down, but a lot of people just think Mcinnes is completely uninspiring and gets his excuses in early. And also tends to be extremely negative with his setup

Which, having watched the game, was as much to do with Milan taking the foot off the gas than anything They did, but let’s let Lennon think he’s some kind of tactical genius as it might work in our favour.

Cosgrove returned to their squad midweek. His replacement had scored a few v Hamilton so they might stick with him

Is that the lad on loan from Leeds?
He looked useful when he came on against us, but then picked up an injury.

Don't think there's any chance of Cosgrove starting.

They usually beat them because they have better players, but this is a stronger Sheep squad than theres been in a while, I think they’ll give them a game today.

Good thing is we can watch it knowing it doesn’t ‘really’ matter as we have the advantage, it’s been a while since we’ve had that, even last season after beating them at Parkhead we still had to play our game in hand to take us top, this is new pressure for them.
Click to expand...
It's a different vibe being top with a margin of error. Drop points today we would still be top (admittedly with them having a game in hand).

Don't think we have been in this situation before with Gerrard, we have tended to falter when playing with a fear of dropping anything - that mindset should hopefully not be there.

That lot for the first time in a long time now have that pressure.

If Hayes is injured it'll definitely be a blow for the sheep.

He would've given Frimpong no end of problems.

They're still vulnerable at the back and are missing McKenna, but are way better going forward this season and are a way more physical team than the mentally challengeds, particularly with Ferguson and McCrorie in the middle of the park.

Obviously the scum are still favourites, but at least there's a fighting chance of some sort of positive result for the sheep today.

Do you think Hayes would have tried a leg?

One of the problems we face is that so many of the teams are full of celtic fans who don't try against them the same as against us.

Look at McKenna against them in recent times.

I genuinely believe that when you are correct that dolly doesn’t lie down, their efforts are a damn sight less against them than they are against us. No team seems to burst a gut playing them (and we didn’t have to)
There is a reason why we are their “cup finals”

After they beat Hibs at home you'd have thought Turnbull was the new de Bruyne but none of them wanting him to start against us despite Christie being out.

Very curious. Maybe he just isn't that good.

Yeah and then was hooked the next game against St Johnstone. I think he will end up another Scott Allan and will end up back at Motherwell
 
Talking to a workmate up in Aberdeen during the week, he was confident of beating them, so with that the best I can hope for is a draw.

If they play 3 at the back again then I hope McInnes paid attention to how we setup. Give them no space to get in behind and they will toil

Hayes would definitely have tried.

Apparently he's very bitter about the way he was treated by them.

As for McKenna, he was usually decent against them.

Taylor and Considine were the bombscares.

They THINK a that they dominated Milan in the second half on Thursday and that by switching 2 a four at the back with the same players lol will make the world of a difference

can’t stop laughing

Any team can come our and 'give it a go' when the game's already dead. Happens at all levels.

There was a game last season where McKenna literally stood and watched edouard run by him and shoot without even trying.

Unfortunately I think their 3 at the back days are a thing of the past mate.

If they keep playing Duffy it doesn't matter what formation they play. They either play a high line which makes him vulnerable to pace, or they sit deep to protect him and make their team disjointed.

Either way signing him due to being an IRA supporting scumbag will be their undoing.
 
They are pinning all their hopes on Rogic now after a short cameo v Milan, he has hardly kicked a ball for them in 2 years and he was supposed to be leaving in that window.

This Moi guy has never done a single thing against us either, the way they build these players up is incredible.

If you were a neutral looking in so far this season, you'd think that Dundee United, St Johnstone and Kilmarnock had tried harder against them than us.

Obviously that isn't the case, but I think they tried equally hard against both of us.

Both Dundee United and St Johnstone deserved to take something from their games against them.
They definitely put in a shift.

This is where they have went wrong brown should have been replaced 2 years ago or last replacement ready if they go 4 at back then he doesn't have the pace to cover anymore.

Similar to going 3 at the back their cd is exposed

Rogic looked decent against a Warburton and Pedro/Murty team.

He's never kicked a ball against us since and can't handle the tempo our midfield play at under Gerrard.

This is also the different standard of reffing though

Cosgrove last year for example yellow card for tacklee that put Davis out of the cup final and tackle against on of them straight red.

Teams have not fears us but also know they get a free hit ...... they don't get a free hit against them

Duffy will be best suited playing against a Cosgrove type battering ram than slick movement and interchanging, like us and Milan did against them.

He's proving to be a very expensive failure.
 
We can live in hope that Aberdeen will actually turn up today but let's be honest septic will probably win by 3 goals

Also got a bit of a mouth on him. Post cup final he told us they were going to wipe the floor with us in December.
