I don't think that qualifying for CL this year would be a good idea. Yes it would be a great achievement but I don't believe that we are ready for that standard.

Liverpool were a long way from fourth place a month ago and have shot up the table. We can do the same

Howe said in the week that Isak was close but not quite there yet which is probably why he didn't start today. Any players signed by Howe have been introduced over several games, Gordon hasn't really had that luxury and I think he'll get better. Some of our players have played nearly every game so something had to give

If Schar is out put Burn back in the middle and Targett LB

Need ASM to play like the last time we played against them. He destroyed Walker in that game

Everyone shouted for Bruno to start when he first came here but Eddie bedded him in very slowly and it paid off. He's doing the same with Isak and bearing in mind the injury that Isak had he seems to be taking real care over it. PL will be a big step up physically for him but I like what I've seen so far

I can't understand people criticizing the team after the effort they put in. We were up against a side in top form with plenty options to choose from which we don't......yet

Happy for him and happy for us

Isn't a straight red an automatic 3 match ban?

Bit worried about this one today

I'm thrilled that we've got there but can't say that I'm confident. If we lose I won't take it badly because I know that it's just one of many steps forward

I much prefer Targett

I think I remember when we had Carver in charge he said that he reckoned he was one of the best coaches in the country

His lack of skill is being cruelly exposed. We need Targett back

I don't think that Dan Burn is an ideal partner for ASM

I hope that they don't use that flag with SBR in it. Different era and circumstances completely

Forest fans aren't impressed with Wood. They are giving him stick on their forum

He's just not as comfortable on the ball as our other players and it slows us down

Looking forward to seeing him on the left with Taggart. I think it will really balance us up with Trips and Miggy on the right

Gordon looked sharp, Dan Burn didn't

My first game was back in the 50s with my dad. I remember when the game started and I was stunned because I expected to hear a commentary and there wasn't one

Sounds like he was stopped by the police while he was still with Everton. Refused to give his name to the police who no doubt already knew who he was so got charged and banned for 6 months. Now it seems that someone? saw him driving after he was banned but just after that his girlfriend was seen dropping him off at training. The DM blow it up with a headline saying he could be sent to prison. It could have been a pissed off Everton fan who says he saw him driving

Big Dan has been great but I think that Targett is the better footballer. Such a luxury to have 2 players of their quality

Eddie must have teaching him about composure because this last few games he's had better chances and just ballooned the ball over the bar.

Ferdinand had the big advantage of being so good in the air
