Saint Scott

MATCH REPORT VVD, Caulker, Juanmi, Rodriguez and Seager all involved.

Not a bad window for us. Offloaded the two that wanted out, held on to Vic and Mane and have bought in some decent players. Feel we are one midfielder light though.

Apparently all but signed. 17 year old keeper who has been called up for England U18's

Sky sports reporting that he hasn't travelled to meet up with the Kenyan squad

illarramendi?

Agree in a sense that Wanyama isn't irreplaceable in comparison to Morgan. However, if he goes we need another defensive rock to play along side Romeu if he is to go. I wouldn't know where to start though especially with very little time left in the window.

Moses? Had a decent amount of business with Chelsea in recent times.

Sky Sports reporting that Celtic have now agreed a fee for Jozo Simunovic, CB from Dinamo Zagreb as mentioned yesterday. Only a matter of time until VVD is announced.

To be fair if we perform like that against a load of rubbish we'd of had our arse handed to us in the group stage had we gone through.

Koemans talking absolute ****. Our best game of the season... The best team over both legs. What is he on?

I'm sorry but anybody that claims JWP is a set piece specialist is having a laugh. Shocking deliveries from dead balls and open play. Martina is almost as bad as mayuka/de ridder. Was like playing with 10 men for 90 minutes. Koeman has a lot to answer for, tactically our set up was ridiculous considering we needed to score. The minute tadic came on he created a chance. Lumping the ball up to Pelle is a ridiculous game plan and I can't see why koeman lowered us to that level. Having said that we've been **** since the season started. The jubilation from the end of last season to now is absolutely heart wrenching.

Absolutely pathetic. Both legs

RK has had a mare here tactically. We have to make changes at half time. 3 at the back was always stupid when they were always going to defend and waste time. The long ball isn't working. Get Juanmi, mane and tadic on. They should be walking round this lot. I just can't see what he is seeing at all. Worst half I've seen in 3 seasons

I don't know why we are catering to their style of play. Just go with our normal formation play our skilful players! If we can't play through a team like this we don't deserve to be in europe

Based on us reaching the Europa league would take Walsall at home in the next round. Second string side should comfortably come through it.

Would love a guan smiley face right now.

So I'd guess if they don't reach the champions league the fee will be the cheaper of the two?

2-0. Thursday revealed before the game?

Seems they see Johnny Evans as the ideal replacement. If VVD wants a move this week I can't see them quick enough off the mark for him. I'm fully confident this will go through, a Malmo win I'll be even more so.

Defence was really all over the place tonight. Fonte and caulker looked on a different wave length and yoshi at right back can't happen in the next leg. He was an accident waiting to happen. Not enough creativity and resulted to the long ball. The only time we played decent football we scored the disallowed goal and then won a penalty. I'd like to see us play our own game in Denmark and not set up and play to their strengths. By the way time wasting from the 30th minute must be a first.

They look extremely organised. Very nervous with their set pieces too

That's a goal if Rodriguez was match fit

Release clauses are not really relevant in England. They are not legally enforcable as Suarez found out when he tried to force a move to Arsenal a couple of seasons ago. Supposedly United made an enquiry to his availability when they bought Schneiderlin but were told he is not for sale and that, as far as i've seen was that. I could only see anything being revived if he has made it known to United that he wants the move to go through.
