Man of the Match v Apollon Limassol

[MikeO]

Will follow.

[Matt]

Vlasic, and not just because he scored. 

[plaidharper]

Vlasic.  More snide than the whole lot.

[nyblue23]

Vlasic. Only player who looked 100% sharp.

[Aidan]

I think it's about time we replace some players for others wanting a chance.

Mirallas doesn't get a shout yet again despite the board blocking his transfer this summer, Sigurdsson and Klaassen keep getting valuable game time despite not showing a glimpse of ability game after game. Rooney does well but the positivity of his play is ruled out by the pathetic (badly decided) long shots and the misplaced short sideways passes. I see potential in Sandro but also see form and present ability in DCL and nobody in that STC position should be getting ahead of him at the moment, it's irrelevant that he's a youngster. Everyone calling for Kenny to start over and over again has surly been given a hint as to why Koeman won't play him often. Gana and Morgan together doesn't work in games where were pressing and looking to beat a team. Williams should be ashamed of himself after tonight and every winger in the squad should be marching into Koemans office tomorrow morning, sitting down and seriously talking about why he blindly refuses to play them.

Koeman doesn't understand that places within a squad are earnt, not given out off the back of the name of a shirt.

V man, probably because Koeman hasn't rubbed off on him yet.

[Newty82]

Vlasic. Because he looked the part tonight. Quick, strong, aggressive, pacey and skilful.

DCL also played a big role tonight.

Please start with these two. We need what they bring.

Agree but DCL needs to finish at least 1 of his chances. We shouldn't have allowed that situation where we got pegged back but if DCL is more clinical - we win.

Not getting on his back as I really like him but he needs to be more clinical - that'll be the measure of if he ever becomes a top, top striker.

[markjazzbassist]

Vlasic only one who sounded like he gave a shit on the radio feed.

Yep definitely. His finishing is not strong enough just yet, but the rest of his play is great for us at the moment.

[Shukes]

Baines. Only proper player at the moment.

[Romey 1878]

Vlasic. 

[pete0]

Vlasic. Thank God we played Split in the qualifiers. 

[Cornish Steve]

Just an observation: Several recent MOTMs have been second-half subs.

[FairWooney]

Thought Davis was decent, Vlasic as well.

 

Rooney seemed to have decided to take pot shots from 35 plus yards a lot in the second half.  Ill let him have the half line one with the keeper well off his line maybe but the other 2 he struck were never going to trouble anyone.

Because Koeman can't get the starting line-up correct.
