Attacking football

It’s been sold to us as the style of play and the media team continuously hype it up but I’m just not seeing it.

Weve played the bottom 3 teams in the league and scored 1 goal and got 2 points. 3 teams brutal at the back and we’ve not laid a glove on any of them.

Yesterday whenever Aberdeen attacked we had 10/11 men behind the ball who all sat ridiculously deep, whenever we won it we had next to no option further up. We carried no counter attacking threat and Aberdeen were able to gain territory with ease. The goals we conceded was as a result of sitting so deep and inviting them on, if you do that then things like the ball bouncing up and hitting your hand is going to happen.

If we want to attack teams let’s do it and not just say how attacking we are.

If we insist on playing 343 then we cannot have a midfield 4 of Stevenson, Campbell, Newell and Cadden and we cannot play Wright as one of the front 3. Again yesterday everything was to feet and there was no threat in behind, it suited Aberdeen to a tee. We really need to stretch the play more and create a bit of space for ourself.

Last week against Motherwell in the first half was attacking but that appeared more by chance than planned with Doig going off injured and is having a lack of defenders. We were also against 10 men.

I get we have injuries etc but we can still put out a team with more attacking intent than that.
