3 points.
Clean sheet.
Fernandez a lot better at the back - probably because the window is now closed and he realises he has to knuckle down. Though Makhanya still the pick of the CHs for me.
Both FBs solid.
Balance in the middle of the park was excellent with finally a performance from Dan Neil that matched the hype on here.
Wingers that now try to beat their man.
Naderi getting a goal through pure perseverance.
Strange to see an SPFL side dominate the ball at Ibrox and yet when we did have the ball we created numerous chances, passing up quite a few, where we all expected to see the net burst.
Onwards and upwards to my next birthday anniversary against St Mirren.🤪🤣🤪

Very well put, MPH. First time in a long time that I really enjoyed our performance. I am hopeful that we continue to improve and become what we are all hoping for under McInnes. As a club, recently, we have almost been similar to Man United after Ferguson with a constant churn of management. Perhaps it's time to settle and see where McInnes takes us.

Other teams can have the ball all they like if they don't do anything with it. We looked to try and create something every time, and, bar poor finishing, could have won by 4 or 5.

Motherwell dominated the ball in the first ball, but certainly not the second. We need to get used to this style, because a few of the teams play it now, but as long as they are going nowhere, which they were for long spells, we just need to be patient, players and fans.
It seems illogical to me that Manny would play better now that he can't get a transfer, rather than play well to try to get one, but hey ho, I'm no psychologist.

Well, most of ball in first half and played through us a couple of times, give them their due, good footballing side. But when we won ball back we looked like we could score in every attack (bit better decision making and shooting). More the game went on, our two midfielders seemed to get better retaining the ball and getting it to our front players.
Good game to watch and would of been better if we got a second to halt the nerves. Looked comfortable but still a lot of scar tissue that keeps on edge.
