With so much change in the squad, I'm finding it difficult to know exactly what a reasonable expectation should be at this stage. On one hand, the players need time to develop an understanding. Aberdeen can't afford to spend half a season looking disjointed while everyone settles in. Where would you draw the line between allowing a new squad time and expecting better results?
The result was nice, but I was more interested in Lyons getting 15 minutes and Gyamfi getting back on the pitch. After the injury problems we've had, just seeing some of these players involved again feels like a boost.
Van Hecke has reportedly had to leave the Netherlands squad after picking up a foot injury against Serbia. He’s played every minute of Spurs’ Premier League campaign so far, so losing him would leave a pretty big hole at the back. The timing isn’t great either, with the trip to Old Trafford against United coming up on October 10. I pray it’s nothing serious and he’s back sooner rather than later, because Spurs really don’t need another problem right now.
63% possession and 12 shots, and we still couldn't find a goal. We controlled so much of the game but somehow only managed 2 shots on target. It's honestly frustrating watching us have that much of the ball and still create so little. Everton sat back for large parts of the game, and we just couldn't find a way through them. Tonali and Bentancur controlled the midfield, but once we got into the final third, everything just seemed to fall apart. A 0-0 at home after dominating the ball like that is seriously disappointing. All that possession and absolutely nothing to show for it.
The right-back is set to become the 11th signing of the summer and has an obligation fee of £4million.

Nobody warned me how different driving at night feels compared to daytime lessons. Took an unlit country lane route home last night around 10 PM.
Between blinding high-beams from oncoming cars, dark bends with no streetlights, and constantly flicking between full beam and dipped, it felt like a video game on hard mode. Did your instructors take you out in the pitch black before your test, or did you have to figure it out on your own like me?
For me, nobody will ever top Maura Higgins stepping into the villa, ordering a cheese toastie, and instantly turning every guy's head while having the girls quaking in their boots
I passed my practical test three weeks ago, but large multi-lane roundabouts with spiraling lanes still make my hands sweat. My local area has a huge three-lane roundabout with faint lane markings, and drivers constantly cut across lanes without indicating.
How long did it take for lane positioning on complex roundabouts to become second nature for you?
I’ve been driving solo for about three weeks now with zero issues and felt super confident. Yesterday, I picked up two friends to go out for lunch.
The moment they got in, my brain melted. I stalled twice at traffic lights, hesitated way too long at a simple clear roundabout, and almost missed a turn off. Nothing unsafe happened, but I felt like I was back on lesson 1. Does the pressure of having people watching you ever wear off, or do I just need to get used to it?
