No you have not logged onto imdb.com by mistake, this is not a blog about the Tom Crusie and Cameron Diaz movie.
The title describes the difference between the Aberdeen attitude today against Celtic and the disastrous game back in November that all but ended Mark Mcghee's spell as Aberdeen Manager.
Aberdeen looked to have more belief in themselves, they fought for every ball and although they lost a goal to poor defending, most times in the game the defence coped with everything Celtic threw at them.
I was pleased that Langfield did not pull Stokes down as he went round him, there is more chance of coming back from 1-0 down with 11 men on the field.
Aberdeen did have a few chances and on another day one of those might have gone in.
It was a brave move by Craig Brown to take off a defender and bring on a striker with about five minutes left.
Not only did it give us a chance to steal a point at the end it showed Celtic that we are not afraid to have a go.
Maybe showing some intention of our plan for the cup game next week against Celtic at Hampden.
I said before the game that I would be happy if Aberdeen produced a professional performance and could walk away with heads held high even in defeat. And that is exactly what we got today.
We can now go into the next encounter with a little more confidence, and hopefully can give us a cup final to look forward too.

Did not know the score till got home but felt chuffed it was only 1-0. Read report and the perfomance was better their attitude as well.
ReplyDeleteSo hoefully we can get something from the next 2 games would prefer 3 points from the league game but a cup final is a boost as well to supporters and the club.
We could have new players in as well before the window closes so things are brighter than last year.
We must keep up the progress we have made under Craig Brown and Archie Knox.
