Not sure why Helander drops to the bench but a strong side.

Not often you're wrong Frankie but Jones was omitted from the 22 euro squad.

Then what about Tav. and Goldson? I worry that they could become over-used when we do have good alternatives for both. Neither are involved in internationals so that may have something to do with it.

No failures in the side at all today.

Two for Goldson! Who would have thought it?

Itten might be suited to this in second half.

Yes. Think his pace will come into play when they tire.

Just want Morelos to score today.

Sorry Craig, but they could still field a midfield of Turnbull, Brown and Rogic as well as a front 2 of Ajeta and Griffiths. Mind you I would be very confident that we would be too strong for them.

To me that is a serious oversight. If we are short of home-grown, why leave out Patterson, who would cover for Tav if necessary?

I get all the parallels to Gazza including the style of play but....Wilshere is nowhere near his class. But the pay and play idea is a good one. I'm sure there are some EPL clubs who would take a chance on him; if not, you must ask why?

So does Leigh Griffiths! Sorry, just couldn't resist that!

I'm sure I saw him linked with Sheffield Utd.

'Twas a rhetorical question but thanks anyway.?

Took me a while to get that! You know, I expect him to score every match now! What does that tell us?

Maybe this is where Helander shines - his positional sense allows very few free headers.

Hope not. We must keep hold of promising talents.

I'd totally forgotten that! Fantastic!

Happy with that but raging that 'THEY' have once again won the game in the last minutes. There must be some law which forces teams playing them to fold in the last few minutes. I only wish that we do them at Parkhead with the winner in the last SECOND.

Yes, because it's a technical description and not an opinion!

Why? Surely we have beaten higher rated teams than them?

That's the only negative from tonight; some of his lay-offs were good, most were careless. Seems to have lost his shooting boots. Still think we are a better team with him in it.

All football clubs would have been out of business a long time ago if they were run only for profits. How many clubs anywhere continually show positive balance sheets?

To take that argument to the extreme, then we might as well focus on finding a core of suitable loan players who can win us trophies now and forget about promoting from within. Personally I want us to win with a nucleus of players that we have developed and who have some affinity with the club. I am so glad that we haven't the glut of loanees which we had 2 seasons back.

Definitely. Turan is out and he is a very experienced and outstanding Turkish player.
