Aberdeen fans jeered head coach Stephen Robinson after a fourth successive Scottish Premiership match without a goal, a goalless draw at home to Kilmarnock that left the club with just four points from five league games. Robinson, who described his side's display as "tired" and "lethargic," has faced mounting criticism given the club's usually high expectations, with former defender Richard Foster arguing the team lacks the energy and directness Robinson previously showed at St Mirren.

Aberdeen have scored only two league goals all season, the fewest in the division, and have the third-worst expected goals tally (5.2) despite few chances created; they also rank bottom for shots on target and near the bottom for big chances. Captain Kevin Nisbet, withdrawn at half-time against Kilmarnock, has scored over 60% of the team's goals this term, underlining a lack of support from teammates, while Robinson blamed fatigue from recent fixtures against Rangers and Celtic, an explanation Foster questioned given Kilmarnock had travelled further.
