He should have stayed here, his record since moving back to Turkey, is no goals in fifteen appearances.
Say what you like, go back and watch the games, see how many clear cut chances we don’t take, see how many goals we gift from individual errors
Correct and I am sure Acun can see it too. There have been several case of sides struggling in the opening half of the season and then putting a run together. We are frustratingly just short of where we could be, in my mind that is predominantly down to having strikers that should actually be working as Lollipop men or in Tesco driving a forklift.
And Delap. A point which highlights the current issue of failing to sign a goal scorer. The people that think Tim is the problem are focussing on results and not the causes of the results. At some point, and it might come soon if we dont get a striker in Jan, he will pay the price but I dont see what more he could do other than put some shorts on and play up front himself. Missed chances and some stupid, dumb, mistakes have cost us and when your luck is down it seems to just hammer you.
Fergusson's Aberdeen beat Bayern Munich, Tottenham and Real Madrid to win the European Cup Winners Cup, which is far tougher than winning anything in the Championship.
Kinell if we are going back that far didnt Spurs win the league two years running in the early 60’s - it’s hardly relevant to today is it ?
Of course it's not relevant today, I was responding to the claim that Fergusson had only achieved success in Scotland ahead of going to Man United, which clearly underestimated what he achieved with Aberdeen.
Yep. That one that fell to Simons in the second half and ended up in the stand - Ozan is smacking that into the top corner every time.
He's been subbed off at half time a couple of times. Seems like he's fallen back into old ways, a real shame for such a talented player.
There's a lot of this being said, but teams that aren't very good miss a lot of chances. In the three games we won, the opposition missed hatfulls of chances.
Little wistful reminder... https://www.google.com/search?q=oza...ate=ive&vld=cid:9fa93773,vid:jetfU57CfVc,st:0
Are you really sure oppo teams missed hatfuls ? Didn’t see it myself just saw the usual cut and thrust from both teams . If they missed hatfuls then they must have useless strikers too- it’s football at this level with little quality
You can rue your bad luck and bemoan your careless mistakes all you like. Fact is that we are missing chances we should be scoring (current xG for the season has us mid-table). We've actually defended pretty well recently and mainly cut out conceding daft goals (direct from our own corners for example). Our final ball is undoubtedly poor (look at the amount of crosses we put in that drift out of play or end up behind the incoming runner or are delivered at an awkward height, eg between knee and chest). Add to that our woeful finishing when the final ball is ok and you can see why we aren't getting many positive results. Take out our three in a row winning streak (where admittedly things did click infront of goal) and we haven't scored more than 1 goal in any game. Seeing as we are also very poor at keeping a clean sheet then we aren't really giving ourselves a chance to win are we?
