    First half performance today was great hopefully we see alot more of that, but when aberdeen put some pressure on us, we need to learn to keep possesion better when oter teams are having their good spell, theres no need to goall out attack and lose it again, just keep the ball and when the game is going at 100mph we need to learn to control the game and slow it down to our pace, we should be able to speed it up and slow it down ourselves, when that day comes il be very excited

    We played almost perfectly in first half. Second half... Well, we entered the game a bit more relaxed than we should, but the scoreline really reflects our performance.

    And I think we can easily move the * of every SPL team and adjust pace to our level. No many problems about keeping the ball there, mate.

    The acid test is Tuesday when we face, for me, the best team in the world at playing possession football. They don't convert that into chances and goals like a Barcelona do but they are the best at it.

    We'll see where we are in terms of our evolution under Mowbray and probably see what we should be aspiring to at the same time.
