Looks like he would get caught every time they play inside down the right. Gets caught for pace and does not track his runner. It’s against Celtic and maybe he is not interested as leaving. He is not £2m worth looking at this so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 We’ve just been name-checked as interested in McCrorie. I like McCrorie the more I watch….leggy player but uses both feet which is good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like McCrorie the more I watch….leggy player but uses both feet which is good. Looks good technically and seems two footed as you mention. I don't think RWB is a position that particularly suits him, but he's defending ok apart from one time where he let his man drift goal side and he hasn't been able to go forward much due to Aberdeen being pegged back with an absent midfield. Difficult to formulate an opinion after seeing him for just 45 minutes and with him playing in a position in which he's unlikely to feature with us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Watching this match is like watching football on fast forward - it’s so fast and frantic. Aberdeen are overwhelmed with incessant Celtic attacks and whenever they win the ball they almost immediately give it away … on two or three occasions their keeper has kicked from his hands straight to Joe Hart! Against this backdrop, McCrorie has been ok but not exceptional though the same description applies to most of the Aberdeen players (except the ones who are crap!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think most games in Scotland when they play against the old firm must be like this, basically like a side promoted into the Prem then facing Arsenal or Liverpool, you get about 25% possession & it is a constant game of defending. He’s been ok, won a fair few headers on the diagonal from goal kicks but as has been pointed out above, we don’t play wing backs & so he’s not going to play there. Reminds me a bit of Bradley Orr, which isn’t a bad thing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Well we just got a mention as McCrorie got subbed off but based on todays game I'm not excited by what I saw, that said Aberdeen as a team have been pretty lacklustre so it will be hard to shine in that kind of performance.

bcfc01 Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 One player who has impressed me is Matt O'Riley for Celtic. 22 years old midfielder signed from MK Dons for 1.5m, good signing for Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 For context, Aberdeen finished the season in third place - 42 points behind the champions and 35 points behind second place; Marley Watkins was their striker today. No doubt McCrorie will need time to settle in down south and to get used to the level of the Championship. We’re going to need to give him time to adapt and as supporters, set our expectations accordingly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a sad **** you are. Semenyo is a Prem player now, whatever you think. I’m fairly confident he’s not going to score a hat trick tomorrow, he’s injured.
