Good win today great for lukaku to get off the mark wonderful finish, and for super kev to add to his tally. Not outstanding performance some good phases of link up play at time but clean sheet was massive for us today, football is so funny pundits saying were vulnerable at the the back after conceding 10 goals in 3 games then we go keep a clean sheet but no one mentioned only Chelsea have scored more goals than us, premiership really gets underway now transfer window is shut and dire international football out the way big game Thursday and we will start to find out how much strength are squad has, expecting few changes personally would like besic, atsu and eto to start they all got european football experiance even though besic and atsu are young they have played sides like wolfsborg before then we play Sunday I presume so changes will be needed

Agree, did it yesterday and we were talking about it in the crowd. Seems to show them the outside, and then is just slow to react when they go. Still wouldn't swap him though.

Made up with the win today, for me, we should leave stones right there, let jags, distin and alcaraz (dont start please) fight for the other spot, he's our future, those 3 are short term at the moment, we also have tyias browning and brendan galloway ready to step up if need be, imo our best centre back pairing is stones and distin, we have the youngster playing it out from the back and the experienced big man with pace who dominates strikers, after that jags-dostin through sheer amount of time played, stones-alcaraz also works, for me everton fans are very very fickle and cruel, there I said it, having read various sites and seen many (hundreds) of posts, mcgeady is the man on everyones hitlist, despite 3 goals and 2 assists in 5 games all together, if mcgeady gives it away there is murder, people saying he isn't good enough, someone made the rather hilarious comment that mcgeady is the worst player he's seen in a blue shirt in 25 years, yet if mirallas gives it away, he is 'unlucky', if mcgeady produces magic then he is 'still awful, he just got lucky' yet if mirallas produces magic, well, we know, even besic is getting some stick, some fans 'begging' for him not to come on and 'he proved against chelsea he isn't premier league standard', its all very funny, I get slated for saying osman isn't good enough and how I don't want cleverley and people say 'support whoever wears the shirt' yet these same fans are the ones calling mcgeady, besic and gibson awful, i'm shocked atsu hasn't gotten stick yet, my advice? Lay off them a bit yeah? They aren't world beaters but come on, give them a chance, on a more positive note, well done to rom, kev, stones and moses today, kev scoring again is a big plus, hopefully he will continue and become consistent, we will have a very scary player on our hands, let's hope the win pushes us on, my team vs wolfsburg: joel, browning, alcaraz, distin, garbutt, gibson, besic, atsu, osman, long, eto'o, COYB!

Id have that team for euro game swan but i'd put stones in at centre half, to give him more play time and boost the old confidence.id also like ledson, green, and the like to be on the bench.even henen and galloway to see if we really have the best youngsters in this country

If we are serious about wanting to win this comp then we should start with our strongest possible side. It's not like we're going to win the league, so surely this is our best chance of getting in the Champions league. Play your best side, make a statement.

If Wolfsburg play their strongest team that swans team would get well and truly walloped.

Dentielad: we can't select Henen or Galloway as they're not named in our full Europa League squad. That's because although they're under 21 they haven't been with us for at least two years - and that's exactly why Lukaku and Stones had to be included in the full squad. Our under-21 players like Barkley, Browning, Garbutt, Long, etc., who have been with us for over two years don't have to be in the the full squad, but can be selected.

I highly doubt wolfsburg will play a full strength team, bobby has already said he will use europa for youngsters, if we play our strongest team every game, not only will everyone get injured, we may aswell sell besic, pienaar, etoo, naismith and not have atsu, as they will never play, we have to use squad rotation, unless we want to fail in every competition
