Aberdeen Supporters Offer Feedback on 1-0 Loss Against Celtic

Supporters were invited to share their perspectives following Aberdeen’s 1-0 defeat to Celtic. Here is a compilation of some of their responses: Lindsey commented on the team’s strategy, stating: “The game plan was clearly to press Celtic and give them no time on the ball – Graeme Shinnie and Sivert Nilsen were particularly good at this. I thought overall we played really well, we just couldn’t quite get any accuracy on our ball into the box. Duk needs to stop his cheating, the referees will soon get wise to him and could result in a future cry wolf.” Andy suggested that Celtic was vulnerable, noting: “Celtic were there for the taking last night and more composure in the final third by Aberdeen could have produced multiple goals. Neither side dealt with the conditions well last night. This, and Aberdeen’s defence, reduced Celtic’s real chances to scraps, and Reo Hatate took one of the few. Kyogo Furuhashi should’ve been sent off as well.” Marti expressed contentment despite the result, remarking: “Need a couple of signings in January, but compared to last season I’m still happy.” Stuart highlighted the disparity between the teams, observing: “Just goes to show the gulf between the two teams. Celtic were better all over the pitch, their goalkeeper, as usual, had nothing to do, don’t be surprised if Rangers eventually take over second place in the league, however third place should be secure.” Justin’s expectations were met, as he stated: “Kind of went how I expected. We had a couple of chances which you must put away against Celtic, a decent performance though. I think it’s going to be interesting when Jimmy Thelin gets the chance to sign a couple more players in January. Would have ripped your arm off for this amount of points at this stage of the season so can’t be too upset.” Eric praised the team’s effort but emphasized the need for clinical finishing: “Good to see the team back to pressing hard, winning the ball back and attacking at pace, however when we get our chances we have to take them. That was the difference. As at the beginning of the season, third is like us winning the league, and that seems to be the way it’s panning out. Keep doing what we are doing and third is ours.” Bruce admitted initial apprehension but lauded the game’s quality, saying: “After the recent results of both teams, I was fearful of a Celtic hammering. But what a game! Celtic were dominant but either team could have won. Disappointed to get nothing from the match. I think everybody in Aberdeen will be disappointed if we don’t split the Old Firm, though after the last week it will be tougher. But in Jimmy, we trust!” Fred pointed out a key area for improvement: “A very close match but we currently do not have a striker who can score consistently. A very good defensive performance but you only win if you score.” Stewart reflected on the team’s progress compared to previous seasons, commenting: “To say that our title bid is starting to falter and that two draws in Edinburgh is a negative, how in a matter of a season and half where we suffered a 5-0 followed by a 6-0 in the same week by the same two teams. Lot’s to be learned from but this is dreamlike compared to where we were. I think Peter Leven deserves more recognition.”
