Mane training normally with squad for tomorrow.

£35m or **** off.

Another way would be to go for a mobile front four. Long up front with Tadic, Mane and Rodriguez behind but I cant see RK going with that.

Brandon Mechele looked pretty good for Brugges tonight v Utd. Looks a snip at £3m, two yellows caused sending off. (commentator mentioned Celtic looking at him)

IMO playing the four attacking players without a mobile linking player in front of Romeu and Wanyama doesn't really work. There is not enough movement and Pelle occupying the centre without interchange is too predictable and makes us play in straight lines. The very limited Davis and JWP are not the answer unless they add ten goals a season from play and get into double figures in assists. Recirculating the ball to the back four just doesn't cut it. The answer for me is a better player providing goals and assists to link the four attackers. Maybe that is Koeman's plan for Clasie but he hasn't a history of filling that role but who is to say he can't. One thing we do know, Davis and JWP can't whilst we have bought Romeu to match up with Wanyama not sit on the bench. An after thought. I wonder if Jake Hesketh, if he breaks through, could be that sort of player

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?
