Aberdeen have quality and character to salvage the season, says full-back Alexander Jensen
Aberdeen full-back Alexander Jenson also addresses the recent lack of cutting edge from the Dons who are yet to score a league goal this season.
Defender Alexander Jensen insists the players have the quality and the character to haul Aberdeen out of their nosedive in form.
The Dons are in the midst of a damaging winless run that has left boss Jimmy Thelin’s side rock bottom of the Premiership table, with no goals scored.
Despite a summer transfer window rebuild the Dons have also failed to reach the Europa League and crashed out of the Premier Sports Cup to Motherwell.
Jensen says those setbacks have not dented the belief within the squad that they can turn around the season.
Jensen says the majority of the pressure comes from his own high demands of himself.
The 24-year-old said: “I think it’s more the pressure from myself to go out and make a good performance.
“Of course, we are aware that everybody wants to win, and we want this as bad as everyone else.
“So it’s more from the inside, that we have to win now, and we have to do good to win.”
Aberdeen have failed to score in the Premiership with the league goal drought extending five matches.
Working on rediscovering attacking edge
Last season Jensen was an attacking force driving down the right-flank and delivering dangerous crosses into the box.
That attacking edge, as with the rest of the Dons, has not been so potent this season… yet.
