ALEXANDER JENSEN reckons going direct has made Aberdeen more dangerous and finally given them that elusive cutting edge.
The Dons got firing as they shot past Dunfermline, thanks to goals from Pape Gueye, Jensen and Kevin Nisbet, to book their Scottish Cup quarter-final place.
Aberdeen's first home win since November and their first goals at Pittodrie since January brought some long overdue cheer to the Red Army.
And Jensen revealed Jimmy Thelin's men had worked hard to add that finishing touch and finally came up trumps.
The Dane said: "In the last two games in the league I had a good feeling.
"We controlled the game on the pitch but we struggled in the last third to be really dangerous. We had a lot of the ball and were passing too much around.
"We spoke about how we had to be more direct and dangerous. We did that very well on Sunday.
"We did what we had talked about the whole week.
