I'm not trying to argue a case, i'm merely pointing out that to say Morelos done nothing is complete lies. He played a part in both the goals which means he has contributed, it isn't always about the assist and goal stats, they don't always tell the full story. It may well be that Roofe or Itten can perform the role better, but for as long as Morelos is playing, causing problems and contributing, I don't see any need to drop him, other than for fatigue reasons.

Sometimes I struggle to understand what people watch when they watch us, Yes we would all love our centre forward to be a focal point of the attack and be in the box, but ultimately that system failed us after Xmas the last two seasons, as such Gerrard has clearly changed it, resulting in far more defensive stability and playing with a type of false 9. Morelos will score goals in this system, he just won't score all of them. To suggest he hasn't done anything the last two games is simply untrue, against the tims, he literally picked up the ball and passed it into Kent, he then unself

Sadly they have been in the group stages of a European competition in at least the last 4 years, 2 in UCL and 2 in EL, the 2 in EL they qualified for last 16, all those points do add up, I think you get more points for UCL groups as well. Also as has been said, a few teams went out tonight that got them into that last spot in pot 1.

Keep winning European games and we become the big guns in qualifying, that makes games more of a formality and gets us to the point where maybe one day we don't even need to qualify and it's guaranteed money each season.

From looking at their squad, a lot of the team is made up of players of name, Babel, Falcao and Arda Turan, but these guys are the wrong side of 30 now and we shouldn't be selling ourselves short, currently we are a last 16 Europa League side which has strengthened, I don't think you can say that about Galatasaray, We should be beating Willem II, and we should be beating an ageing Galatasaray side at Ibrox, both of which I fully expect us to do.

Not fancy Partizan with Sadiq upfront?

A home draw for the playoff round, and i'd fancy us against most of those sides, hopefully when the groups of potential opponents get decided tomorrow, Spurs are not in ours.

I think we said it at the time that Ferencvaros would be a difficult tie, one of Ferencvaros or Molde will be in the CL group stage and the other in the EL group stage, good going for clubs of their size.

Crvena Zvezda and Dinamo Zagreb eliminated aswell, plus point is that all of those go into the seeded pot, potential opponents for them in the europa playoff round.

Benfica eliminated away to PAOK tonight, shows how difficult these one off away games can be even for the teams who are competition regulars. I expect a fair few upsets between the CL and EL these next few rounds.

That's a lot tougher than I would've liked at this stage, we should still be winning, but away games against Rio Ave, Lech and Willem II would be dangerous providing they qualify.

No, It's a standard draw, if your out the hat first your at home.

This, the only thing their new world class keeper has done is pick the ball out of the net. It's early days but he doesn't look half the goalkeeper that Foster is.

Everyone who plays a CL qualifier no matter what round, goes directly into the Europa League Champions path for qualifying if they lose.
