marc_saint Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 Vitesse have now sold out their 1700 allocation. Looks like it's going to a completely full stadium (Apart from some of the hospitality boxes) so a cracking atmosphere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derry Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 Why would anyone leave out Clasie against a Dutch team that he would know well. We haven't bought him to be back up to Reed or anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbendy Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 Honestly don't think Clasie should start yet. Doesn't know his team-mates well enough, doesn't know our system, isn't fit enough. Reed or Davis alongside Vic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 (edited) Honestly don't think Clasie should start yet. Doesn't know his team-mates well enough, doesn't know our system, isn't fit enough. How did you think he should get to know how his team-mates play, get to know our system and get match fit? Wouldn't playing a match help? Reed or Davis alongside Vic. Reed hasn't exactly played a lot for the 1st team either and Davis often plays in an attacking midfield role and may do again on Thursday.

Saint Charlie Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 Fair point - although I think we need to get at them in the first leg. Will be a very tough away leg. Away leg might be easier to get at them on the break, especially with Mane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saint in winchester Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 A decent lead in the home leg will mean they have to come to attack in the second leg. That will be ideal for us, playing on the break. First step then is a decent win at home. BBC website are showing away leg kicks off at 7pm. Is that right?

doddisalegend Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 Full first team with Pelle leading the line at home, win 6-0, and then rest most of the first team on the away leg. Play J-rod, Long and Juanmi on the away leg as a counter attack team to get the away goal Follow up with a fully rested first 11 (ish) to hump Newcastle...........If Carlsberg did Europa league games:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed hasn't exactly played a lot for the 1st team either and Davis often plays in an attacking midfield role and may do again on Thursday. Point 1: Longer with the squad, more training, minutes in the Espanyol game, minutes as a sub in the prem Point 2: Reed has been around the 1st team for a while, knows how we play, has experience of prem-level tempo, is much fitter and is (at the moment) a more effective defensive midfielder.

Dan Johnson Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 Was saying much the same to my 15 yr old son, on way back from St Mary's yesterday after buying him his new home shirt When we were in administration and even later when Cortese came out and said that despite us starting the season on minus 10 points, that we'd be back in the premier league in 5 years, that in 2015 we'd have been in premier league again for 3 seasons, just about to start 4th and would also be in in Europa league, with a Wembley win along the way. What an incredible journey from Tuesday nights in Hartlepool to Thursday nights in Arnhem, I've loved it all. Agreed, I think the darkest day for me was when we lost 0-3 at home to Watford the season we got relegated to League one. I left early that game, it's the only time I have!! To be in the Europe League & a strong, established mid table premier league side has been some journey!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
