Unseen work

One thing that iv not seen mentioned in Saturday was how weak Aberdeen’s midfield was
Hedges Ferguson Campbell Ross
Hedges is very talented on the ball but is light weight and not great defensively. Ferguson is for me a very good young player that has a bit of everything. Ross and Campbell are two 18 year olds.
What really concerns me is how we never dominated those 4 in the middle of the park against our 5. Not just the numbers but the personnel.
For me in games like this Scotty Allan needs to do a hell of a lot more, he barely touched the ball in the game where imo he should have been dictating it and finding lots of pockets of space.
Could two 18 year olds slot into our midfield in a 4 and help us earn a respectable draw? Not even 18 year olds what if we started with say
Horgan Campbell Hallberg Murray
To me that midfield would get completely overrun like the Aberdeen midfield should have been.
Im one of few that seems to really rate Mallan and think the majority of good things we do come through him. But to me the balance is off when he is playing on the right of midfield. I’d personally rather Allan on the left with Mallan I’m behind than the current set up.
We desperately need to find a solid midfield which has the quality and attributes to hurt teams when we’re on the ball.
Horgan has been brutal all season, Middleton has shown signs of what he can do. Murray more than deserves his chance.
..........Hallberg.....Vela....
Murray........Mallan........Allan....
It lacks a bit of pace but the advanced 3 can all create and Allan is better wide and in 1 vs 1 positions than Mallan. He can also cut in and play that reverse pass.
