Copenhagen 2-0 Kilmarnock: Analysis

The low-block employed by Kilmarnock early on was hardly a surprise. What was more surprising was how well it worked, and how Copenhagen struggled to break it down.

Criticism has been levelled at the Kilmarnock defence this season - a far cry from last season when Lewis Mayo, Robbie Deas and Stuart Findlay all drew praise.

But despite the poor form of his back-line, McInnes' gameplan still relied upon it being up to scratch. Thankfully for him, it was back to its best.

Up top, Kyle Vassell lead from the front. There was almost no service to the big guy, yet he was able to hold up the ball when it came to him, unsure when he would see it again. He won corners and free-kicks, none of which were utilised to the full.

At the very least, Kilmarnock now have a free hit next week. There's no excuse not to go for it. Could we see Innes Cameron or Bobby Wales start?
