Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Koeman seemed definite about a signing so I'm wondering whether he's either putting pressure on Les to get something sorted or the target is someone else, maybe Koulibaly. The third alternative is, and I really hope it's not this, Vlaar - who else would be competing to sign someone who won't play for a few months?

Spoil sport!

TRANSFER EXCLUSIVE: @ManUtd have agreed a fee with @celticfc of £10m + Tyler Blackett for the services of Dutch defender Virgil Van Dijk So says someone called Simon Rowntree on Twitter. No idea on reliability...

Would rather see Reed in the team than JWP at the moment. Different types of player but I think Reed could offer the team more in terms of bringing some stability and bite to the centre of the park.

Hopefully Kat will head out onto the pitch after a couple of pre-match bevvies to scream "let's be having you" both to fire up the fans & in honour of our opponents. And we will get an impressive 4-0 win to send us into the international break in good heart with 3 points and the walking wounded still to return. Huzzah!

If the players can't understand the disappointment of fans who have travelled a long way at large cost, some of whom are lucky to get paid in a year what the players might get paid in a week, having witnessed an insipid uninspired performance from their team, then they are more stupid than I give them credit for.

Bargain bin and given little or no opportunity thus far, to boot.

Or Kevin Keegan and Peter Shilton. Now, the best midfielder we've had, that's a different question...

He can come and sit in the treatment room with Vlaar...

To be fair, he needs to weigh up yesterday's pathetic performance against tonight's and decide whether he'd like to play Europa League or get paid more.

Thank f**k we're a showcase club is what I think. Imagine how bad it could be if we weren't!

Branfoot-esque football with a Branfoot-esque outcome. No invention or ideas. On the basis of this performance, I'd say we need more than just a CB. Massively disappointing end to our short Europa campaign and a real waste of last season's achievement.

Well that was disappointing. #welimpon

It's made me think. How bad must Vitesse have been?

A shot! A shot!

Juanmi given a whole 8 mins to pull a rabbit out of the hat...

Good football and a chance for FCM. Take note Saints...

I bet Juanmi is glad he signed up. Doesn't even get on the pitch when we are screaming for a goal or some invention...

Come on Saints - how about giving those who have paid to go out there something to cheer???

In a funny way, I think you're right. But it'll take a change of shape and ethos.

You'd think someone would've noticed they don't work...

It's not just awful hoofball. We're not actually any good at it either.

Er, we're a bit rubbish.

Fans doing their bit. Shame team aren't!

Goal changes nothing. We still have to score!
