Maybe if we stopped him playing on the right and moved him to his natural side. But then the obsession of the moment is to play players wide on their less natural side. That will disappear in time too. We get nothing much off him on the right because he is so left footed.

What was different last year when we were up for corners, Clyne and Bertrand were covering, now it is Soares and Targett, neither blessed with pace. Also their starting positions were poor, Soares was in front of Lukaku with only Targett behind. It needed Soares behind Lukaku with Targett on the cover. Soares fouls Lukaku to stop him, then no problem as not the last defender. I also thought we should have kept VW back outside the area with Tadic.

His passing is so much better than Davis. It's not as if Davis is going to get goals. I can see us more 4-3-3 than 4-2-3-1 but either could work with Vic, Romeu and Clasie. I can't see us buying them not to start.

I get the feeling now we have the holding two sorted that he will be playing as the attacking midfielder with three up front.

. The team selection was poor. We were caught out last week with Newcastle playing around our midfield. This week the same midfield the same result, totally exposed back four. Romeu brought some balance to midfield but Davis as a forward when we were chasing goals didn't work. Romeu should have started with Wanyama in front of the back four. I can't help thinking that Martina is a safer bet than Targett. Everton were much more dynamic up front with their fastest players on the shoulders of the defenders and the midfielders breaking fast. We had the static Pelle up front seeming to be moaning the whole game maybe with some justification. Our quick players were too deep and neutered by our really slow build up which closes down the space available in the opponents defence. Our free kicks and corners floated in are dire. They need to be put in with pace. Chasing the game the substitutions didn't work for me. I thought Davis should have been swopped for Romeu although Tadic wasn't much of a threat. Then Rodriguez for Long, again I thought Davis. The really negative one was JWP for Davis, a case of no goals changed for no goals. We need to get the ball up to the forwards more quickly rather than the really slow build up and have our quick forwards getting at the opponents back four with space behind.

The Sportsmania site has been revamped so the Kodi connection isn't working until Sports mania uninstalled on Kodi then re-installed from scratch from the new SM site. Video on the home page gives complete instructions. When Kodi initially failed I tried the live stream on the SM site which was much better than the old site and worked perfectly.

Maybe they should be lobbying the PL to stop the poaching of academy players by big clubs. Walcott. Bale. Lallana, Shaw, Ox-C, Chambers for example would give us more than 50%. The fact is the money is flashed and the players leave no matter who runs the club. Remind me who sold Ox-C to Arsenal.

What I'd like to know is why RK is in Kirkwall. Sounds fishy to me.

27 appearances for Stuttgart last year.

Flybe operated the Dash 8 - Q400 78 seats into Galway with a runway length of 4230 ft and little over 80ft wide.

I was told by a reliable source last winter that JWP's agent had discussed the likelihood of JWP going to Man City but the player didn't want to just be a bench player at best.

For anybody interested in setting it up. Herning has an airport with a just under 4000ft x 98ft that can take aircraft at least up to the size of the Dornier jet. Chartering an air taxi might be worth it for a group. There is an airport site for contact re hours, aids etc. 4 miles NNE of Herning.

I would assume that one thing that would interest any Dutch player coming here is the large number of flights to Amsterdam. Probably more than Glasgow.

TSN1 not great but TSN5 was perfect.

Martina looks a bargain, I suspect Soares was subbed because of the chance of a sending off. Davis had his best game for a long time and played many more forward passes. The back four looked anxious for a long time but settled down. Targett struggled with the pace a bit. Unlucky equaliser deflected over keeper. Pelle and Long excellent headers. Gave the ball away after Yoshida's poor header leading to a lightning break and brilliant goal, Yoshida should have buried it with the keeper on the deck. Two late misses by Mane could have won it. Good team performance against a very quick breaking Newcastle team. Good start and well earned point.

He looked a lot more disciplined last night, however Celtic set up pretty carefully to protect their lead.

Thanks.

BBC say Saints news conference at 1630 BST. Is that Vitesse or unscheduled?

West Ham qualified with a fair play wildcard, we qualified by league position and were exempt to the third qualifying round. Would that place us above West Ham in the seeding list?

20/6/13 Arrives at Glasgow Airport to sign for Celtic.

You really ought to get some treatment. It was just my opinion.

Careful what you wish for. The Premier is a different ball game for VD. He will not be able to stroll around, leave his post because the opponents will have him worked out and slaughter us in the space behind him. He will need to make a big step up especially with tracking and pace. Superficially looks talented and good on the ball but that is in Scotland.

Bloody hopeless sideways and backwards today dictating the appalling lack of tempo.

I went to the game. In the first half the four forwards attempted to make runs but I nearly lost the will to live watching JWP going sideways and backwards instead of putting the runners in. Of course they had to abort the run when the ball went sideways or be offside. I don't know who told him he was a dead ball specialist because his end result was awful. Bottom line was the poor ever so slow build up going sideways and backwards completely negating the forwards. Juanmi looked useful as did Caulker. Davis needs to pack it in, Gazzaniga looked very assured in the second half. Targett is very one dimensional with a poor delivery. Martina looked better. Wanyama usual and Harry Reed looks far better than JWP. Long was block tackled and looked as though he had injured something. Rodriguez, brilliant goal, some good patches but still needs time. McQueen struggled but McCarthy was ok.

Or is it that the media generates the story whilst the Premier clubs aren't convinced.
