Aye, I think you're right. The problem was legs in the middle today (I only saw the second half). Shinnie would have done better in there. Palaversa would have done okay for 45 minutes probably, but it's a new signing we likely need. I thought overall we just looked really tired. We started the season full of energy and ran ourselves into the ground, we had our second wind at the turn of the year(ish), and now we're out of steam again. A couple of injuries and a lack of momentum and we struggle. As soon as the first goal went in it was obviously game over. We really missed Dorrington today, who's partnership with Knoester has been very good for the most part. Tobers was miles off it. Why on earth he didn't read the first goal and come across to allow Knoester to move across I don't know. He was all over the shop for the second too. I'd be tempted to start Milne ahead of him until he regains sharpness. Devlin didn't look great, but then neither did Jensen when he came on. As everyone else has said though, the game passed us by in midfield. I disagree that we need someone with bite or whatever, we need somebody that is fit and athletic. Lewis Ferguson and Ramadani both excelled due to their athleticism, rather than their nastiness. Clarkson, Polvara and McGrath struggled because they don't do the miles. It's a bad combination for that reason.

Their nationality was irrelevant. You've been pushing this "need more physical players" stuff for over a week now (bizarrely, after the St Mirren game which you said you hadn't watched.) Are you trying to claim Niall McGinn and Peter Pawlett were physical players? We've gone forwards from last season, have we not? We're season one into what is meant to be a three-season rebuild. That would be relevant had we ignored three Scottish players of the standard of Cooper, Simpson and Hewitt and signed foreigners instead. But that's not what has happened has it?

This bit is spot on.

The bit I quoted. Firstly, we took regular humpings off Rangers and Celtic under McInnes. Secondly, "spineless foreign shite". Even ignoring your backwards xenophobia, I'm not sure that's usually how Scandinavians are perceived, and I wouldn't say Mitov, Tobers or Knoester fall into that category either.

So much bitterness towards McInnes by some in our support. He deserves a lot more respect for what he did for us. We were so bad before he arrived and just as crap in the years since. We had a team full of proper men under McInnes, now we have a team full of spineless foreign shite. Good luck to the bloke if he goes to Hearts. Best Dons manager in my lifetime by some considerable distance.

We've missed five massive chances in this game (two from Keskinen, two from Gueye, one from Polvara). Any of them go in and this is a different game. Yet here we are 3-0 down. Just haven't pressed them enough in the right areas. All three goals conceded been too easy.

FTFY

Seems that someone might have taken your advice after all Rico given it was shown as the lead game on Sportscene highlights
