Aberdeen's attacking woes are a major concern, with the team scoring fewer goals than any other team in the league. Their total xG sits at 5.2, the third-worst in the league, and they have wasted the few chances they have created. No team has had fewer shots on target, and only Falkirk have created fewer big chances.
The lack of creative spark is also a problem, with former Aberdeen defender Richard Foster suggesting that the team is "easy to play against" and "slow in the build-up". Foster also questioned the decision to play Kevin Nisbet as a number nine, stating that he is more suited to a 10 position and needs support around him. The 29-year-old has scored 10 goals in 10 games, but was particularly ineffective against Kilmarnock.
Robinson has taken aim at his players' energy levels, saying they looked "tired" and "lethargic" in the draw with Kilmarnock. However, Foster believes that this is not a valid excuse, especially given the team's lack of creativity and shape. The head coach has made three changes at half-time, including changing shape and withdrawing Nisbet, but the team's performance has not improved.
Aberdeen's next match is against Hearts, and the team will be looking to improve their form and find a winning formula.
